Best AirPods Deals: Up to $150 Off Premium Apple Headphones and Earbuds

Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon has already knocked a few bucks off the price of the brand-new AirPods 4. You can save $10 on the basic version without noise cancellation, or $10 on the version with ANC — dropping the price down to $119 and $169, respectively.

The second-gen AirPods Pro are among the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market and are a top pick for Apple users.

This updated version includes the USB-C and MagSafe charging case, and it’s almost identical to the original AirPods Pro 2, except for one key feature. Folks who buy a Vision Pro headset will benefit from lossless audio when connecting these earbuds. That’s probably an edge case, but it’s still worth knowing about, especially if Apple adds the same feature to future iPhones and other hardware.

The AirPods Max are Apple’s first pair of full-size headphones, and they’re full of high-end features such as noise cancellation, spatial audio and easy integration with Apple devices. Yes, paying almost as much as you would for a PS5 might sound excessive, but here’s the thing: They’re actually kinda worth it, so long as you don’t feel burned by their lack of support for full lossless audio.

Note that this price is for the original version with the Lightning charging port, rather than the USB-C model. All colors are currently on sale at Best Buy, but a handful are sold out online. However, you may be able to find select variants in stock at your local Best Buy branch if you have your heart set on a specific color.

Released back in 2021, these third-gen flagship AirPods are equipped with adaptive EQ and spatial audio support. They’re still a viable pair of earbuds, but if you want a pair of open-ear AirPods without noise-canceling, you’d be better off with the basic AirPods 4, which are newer and cheaper.

However, if you have a special affinity for AirPods 3, you can still find them on sale at select retailers. Adorama’s current deal saves you $20 compared with their original $169 price tag.

Though these aren’t AirPods per se, we’re including them because Beats is owned by Apple. The Beats Studio Pro are a great alternative to the Apple AirPods Max, without sacrificing quality. They offer battery life of up to 40 hours as well as noise cancellation, and they pair easily with different OSes, including Android. You can snag the original colors for just $170, and the Kim Kardashian collaboration variants are on sale for $200.

The Beats Fit Pro are built on the same tech platform as the AirPods Pro and share many of the same features. They’re equipped with Apple’s H1 chip, and they support active noise cancellation, spatial audio and Adaptive EQ. They’re also splash-proof with an IPX4 water-resistance rating. Plus, their sleek, stemless design and flexible wingtips help keep them securely in place, making them a top choice for running and working out.

These 2024 Beats are some of our favorite over-ear headphones available at the moment. They’re not noise-canceling, but they do support lossless audio, boast solid voice-call performance and impressed our reviewers with their substantial 50-hour battery life. 

If you’re an active person, the Powerbeats Pro may be the best headphones for you. With a design that wraps around your ear and tips that fit inside, you get a great fit and some awesome audio. The charging case is bigger than some of the others, but odds are you’ll be tossing it in a bag anyway, so it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

These Beats Flex earbuds are a good option for people who want a wireless listening experience without a giant pair of headphones. They’re perfect for workouts, calls or listening to your favorite podcast on a commute. They’re also only $47 right now for all variants on Amazon, making them a high-quality pair of earbuds without a high price.
