Apple's AirPods have become a staple in the world of wireless earbuds, and now is a great time to score a pair at a discounted price. From the entry-level AirPods to the premium AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, there are deals to be had on most models in the lineup.
The second-generation AirPods, which were released in 2019, are still a reliable option for those looking for a solid pair of wireless earbuds. They may not have all the bells and whistles of the newer models, but they offer great sound quality, ease of use, and reliable battery life. Right now, you can pick up a pair of second-gen AirPods with a Lightning charging case for $89, a 32% discount from the original price of $130.
The third-generation AirPods, which were released more recently, offer improved sound quality, a new design, and features like head-tracking spatial audio. They're available with a Lightning charging case for $169 or with a MagSafe charging case for $130, a 27% discount from the original price of $179. However, with the release of the AirPods 4, it's worth considering the newer model, which offers better sound and voice call quality, as well as an even more comfortable design.
The AirPods 4, which were introduced in September, are available in two flavors: a standard model for $129 and a noise-canceling version for $179. Both models offer significant upgrades over the second-gen AirPods, including better sound quality, improved voice call quality, and a more comfortable design. Right now, you can pick up the standard AirPods 4 for $119, an 8% discount from the original price, or the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for $164.99, a 15% discount from the original price.
For those looking for a more premium option, the AirPods Pro, which were released in 2022, offer better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls. The latest refresh of the AirPods Pro features a USB-C charging case and an upgraded IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. Right now, you can pick up a pair of AirPods Pro with a USB-C charging case for $170, a 32% discount from the original price of $249.
Finally, the AirPods Max, which are Apple's high-end over-ear headphones, offer exemplary build quality, excellent sound quality, and top-notch noise cancellation. They're available with a Lightning charging case for $429, a 22% discount from the original price of $549, or with a USB-C charging case for $459. While they may not be the best value for everyone, they're a great option for those who want a premium listening experience.
Whether you're in the market for a budget-friendly option or a premium listening experience, there's an AirPods model to fit your needs and budget. With discounts available on most models, now is a great time to score a pair of Apple's popular wireless earbuds.
