Amazon Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to buy new Apple hardware. You get hefty discounts on almost all Apple products, bringing them to record-low prices.
If you don’t intend to wait for the AirPods Pro 3, which may or may not launch later this year, now’s the time to get a new pair of AirPods.

Despite their age, the AirPods Pro 2 are among the best earbuds you can buy. And thanks to their deep integration with Apple’s ecosystem, they are the best earbuds for iPhone users.
With up to 30 hours of listening time and excellent active noise cancellation, AirPods Pro 2 deliver in all key areas. They are also IP54-certified, making them dust-, sweat- and water-resistant.
Besides the excellent sound quality and ANC, AirPods Pro 2 stand out for other features. When paired with an iPhone, you can use them as hearing aids. They also support head gestures, enabling you to accept or reject incoming calls and talk to Siri via a nod. And the upcoming iOS 26 update will make the AirPods even better, adding several new features.
Apple wants $249 for the AirPods Pro 2. For Amazon Prime Day, you can grab the earbuds from Amazon for only $149 — saving a whopping $100. That’s the best deal we have seen so far on Apple’s flagship wireless earbuds.

Apple redesigned AirPods 4 for exceptional all-day comfort and greater stability. It features the Apple-designed H2 chip with Voice Isolation that improves the quality of phone calls in loud conditions.
This version does not include active noise cancellation, but Apple does offer AirPods 4 with ANC for a slightly higher price.

You can also get the AirPods 4 with ANC for $119. That’s $60 less than its $179 MSRP and also a record-low price.
