Best October Prime Day Apple AirPods deals: Don’t miss these Amazon deals on AirPods

Macworld

Amazon’s second Prime Day, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, runs October 7-8, and we’re tracking AirPods deals the whole time. During Amazon’s last Prime Day sale in July, AirPods were slashed to all-time low prices, and even with the launch of the AirPods Pro 3 just last month, we’re hoping to see even better deals during this sale.

The AirPods Pro 2 already had a good discount price at $199, but right now on Amazon U.S. AirPods Pro 2 are $169, there’s also $120 off the AirPods Max.

For the very best discounts across Apple’s entire product range, see our roundup of the Best Apple Prime Day Deals.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best AirPods deals

Apple just released AirPods Pro 3 last month, so we’re not expecting to see more than $10 or $20 off the new models. However, last Prime Day, we saw AirPods 4 for under $100 and AirPods 4 with ANC for under $125, so similar savings are to be expected. We also anticipate that the older AirPods Pro 2 could now drop below $150.

U.S. AirPods Prime Day deals

AirPods Pro 2: $169 ($30 off, MSRP $199)
AirPods 4: $89 ($40 off, MSRP $129)
AirPods 4 (with ANC): $119 ($90 off, MSRP $179) LIMITED TIME DEAL
AirPods Max: $429 ($120 off, MSRP $549) LIMITED TIME DEAL
Wired EarPods (USB-C): $17 ($2 off, MSRP $19)

U.K. AirPods Prime Day deals

Because Apple has dropped the price of the AirPods 4 in the U.K. be sure to check the discount against the new price (AirPods 4 are now £119, AirPods 4 with ANC are now £169). Also keep in mind that the AirPods Pro 3 cost £219, which is £10 less than the AirPods Pro 2 sold for.

For Prime Day in July, Amazon was selling the AirPods Pro 2 for £179, AirPods 4 for £113 and the AirPods 4 with ANC for £149. So far, only the AirPods 4 price beats that, but keep an eye on prices as we could still see the AirPods Pro 2 price drop further.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): £179 (£50 off, RRP was £229 then £199) PRIME BIG DEAL
AirPods 4: £105 (£14 off, RRP £119) PRIME BIG DEAL
AirPods 4 (with ANC): £149 (£20 off, RRP £169) PRIME BIG DEAL

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best Beats deals

If you don’t want AirPods, Apple also sells a line of Beats headphones and earbuds, including the popular over-ear Solo 4 and PowerBeats Pro 2, which have many of the same features as AirPods Pro at a lower price.

We’ll also track headphone deals in our round up of the best earbuds for iPhone and best over-ear headphones if you’d like to see deals on other brands.
