I've tracked Apple prices for over 2 years, and these are the best AirPods deals to pick up during Prime Day

The AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 are back down to record low prices, with the AirPods Max close to the best price we've ever seen it at.

Apple's AirPods are notoriously expensive — but they're popular for a reason. If you want to see what all the fuss is about without (completely) breaking the bank, shopping events like Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days can be a great time to pick up a pair of the headphones.

Now that the October Prime-member exclusive sale has officially started, AirPods deals are in full swing, with the Pros down to their lowest price ever and the AirPods 4 with and without ANC marked down.

Prime Big Deal Days runs until Oct. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PDT, but we've seen particularly good AirPods deals sell out before. If you've been waiting to buy a pair, now is a good time. The only other time the Pros and Lightning AirPods Max hit the prices they're currently at this year was during July's Prime Day (the Maxes have dropped slightly lower one other time earlier this summer). It wouldn't be wild to see these prices come back down during Black Friday, but if you don't want to wait, don't count on these headphones reaching the same price points in between the two shopping holidays.

Below, you'll find our complete list of the best AirPod deals during October Prime Day. For folks who aren't married to the fruit brand, you'll also find plenty of more deals on headphones during Prime Day here.

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Pro.

The reason we recommend these earbuds on basically every headphone buying guide we have is that what they claim to do, they do well. Their noise cancellation is some of the best in class for earbuds, their sound is robust, and their battery life is pretty decent. While they lean on the expensive side, grabbing them while they're down to $168.99 is a great move. Throughout the year, you'll find these earbuds regularly fall down to $199, and with slightly less regularity, $189. Though these earbuds aren't brand new anymore, I expect that this sale price will be even harder to catch, likely only popping up on shopping holidays until a newer model is released.
