As a tech reviewer, I often receive products for testing. Most get returned or donated, but certain items, like Apple AirPods, remain in my collection for future comparisons. Apple reigns supreme in the world of personal audio, just as it does in smartphones, watches, and laptops. While I have access to every AirPods model, I’m not always required to pay. But even if I wasn’t a reviewer, this year’s Amazon Prime Day would be a game-changer due to the historic low prices.
Don’t take my word for it; verify the price history for the entire Apple AirPods family, just like I did. You’ll discover significant discounts: AirPods 2 (originally $129), AirPods Gen 3 (originally $179), AirPods Pro Gen 2 with USB-C (originally $249), and AirPods Max (originally $549).
A common question is whether AirPods are the best wireless earbuds or headphones. My answer is always, ‘It depends.’ ‘The best’ should always be what suits your needs best. Our lists of the best wireless earbuds and headphones offer various recommendations to help you find the perfect fit.
However, if you own an Apple iPhone, especially with other Apple devices, the AirPods family is a no-brainer. They deliver great sound, include innovative features like head-tracking spatial audio, and no other company offers the same effective noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency combination found in AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. With these Prime Day prices, even the cost becomes a no-brainer. AirPods have never been more affordable.
