Apple AirPods are back on sale for only $70 at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches the best price offered during Prime Day 2024 earlier this month. Normally $129, this deal knocks $59 off the price of the second-generation AirPods. Best Buy listed the deal first, and Amazon is now matching the promotion. Considering Amazon already ran out of its AirPods stock once at this price, you may want to grab a pair before they disappear again. Free shipping is available for all customers, and Prime members can get fast shipping arriving as soon as today (depending on your location).
Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) with Charging Case — $70 ($129)
These are the go-to headphones to use if you’re not a fan of in-ear devices, as these rest comfortably next to your ear canal. You’ll get very high-quality sound from the AirPods as they’re powered by Apple’s H1 chip and the battery life is around 24 hours total listening time with the included charging case.
You’ll also get a simple one-tap setup with the AirPods, and once you’ve done that, they’ll automatically detect when they’re in your ears as they self-activate. This means that you can pair them effortlessly with an iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, iPad, and Apple TV, as well as use Siri for assistance without needing to grab your phone. Another neat feature is that you can share audio between two sets of AirPods on a single Apple device, in case you want to have a little audio-visual party.
If you don’t mind spending more, you can also save on other AirPods models at Amazon. Third-gen Apple AirPods are on sale for $130 (normally $169), the AirPods Pro with a USB-C charging case are discounted to $180 (was $249), and the premium AirPods Max headphones are on sale for as low as $460. It’s worth noting that the AirPods Max headphones were up for grabs for $395 during Prime Day, so the current deal isn’t as good as it once was.
For a more budget friendly Bluetooth earbud solution, check out the JBL Tune 130NC wireless earbuds, which offer active noise cancellation and are on sale at Amazon for $45–over 50% off the $100 list price. Only the white model is included in this limited-time deal; black and blue styles are still $100.
