Here’s the good news you’ve been looking for! The AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max Prime Day deals have finally arrived, and these savings are nothing to sniff at. For those of you in the US, Best Buy has got the AirPods Pro 2 down from $249.99 to $159.99, saving $90, and Amazon is offering the AirPods 4 for just $89, down from $129. That’s a 23% discount.
Meanwhile, for those of you in the UK, AirPods 4 are down to just £113 at Amazon (£3.10 cheaper than we’ve ever seen), the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation are a whole £10 cheaper than their lowest-seen price, now just £149 (was £179), and the top-tier AirPods Pro 2 are back to their lowest ever price of £179 (was £229 – a 22% discount on class-leading Apple buds) – come on!

These deals are part of the Amazon Prime Day discounts we’ll be treated to until the end of the week, and best of all big savings aren’t simply limited to Amazon: rival retailers also do deep discounts and you don’t need a Prime membership for them either.
Basically, this week is a very good week to invest in AirPods of any kind; I’ve been hanging on for deals like these since I broke my AirPods Pro 2 a few weeks ago, so it’s great to see such deep discounting. In the UK we’re not seeing any AirPods Max deals worth shouting about – yet – but if we do, you’ll be the first to know.

Trying to decide? I know, it’s tough – I’d happily recommend all of the above products: I’m a long-term AirPods, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max listener and they all deliver superb sonics. The main difference is in the fit: AirPods 4 are better if you don’t like ear tips, AirPods Pro 2 are brilliant if you do, and AirPods Max are for those of us who prefer over-ears.
The AirPods 4 without ANC are really good budget buds, and their spatial audio is particularly impressive; they’re great do-everything earbuds. That said, if you’re going to be listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks in busy places or while traveling I’d recommend spending very slightly more on the version with Active Noise Cancellation. It really makes a difference, especially on longer trips: ANC’s a real boon on flights and long road or rail trips.
The AirPods Pro 2 are so good I’ve bought them with my own money: if you’re using Apple hardware their integration is absolutely superb, and their ANC is exceptional. The additional hearing health features are very useful, and I’ve found them very comfortable even on very long listening sessions.
That leaves the AirPods Max, which I’d describe as both brilliant and ludicrously overpriced – so a deal like the one above is essential. They are genuinely amazing headphones but at full price they’re a hard sell. I bought mine several years back on a similar deal and I’m delighted I did: getting a rare discount makes them sound even sweeter.
