Shopping is a year round activity (for us at least), but summer is an especially good time to be a deal hunter. With Prime Day 2024 coming July 16 and 17, 4th of July sales, and Target Circle Week all in the ether, it's no sleep, all deals. The biggest brands are on sale, including Apple and their ultra-popular AirPods.

And the deals went from lukewarm to piping hot overnight. Every model of AirPods is down to its lowest price ever. We saw AirPods hit record low prices during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days back in October 2023, so we were waiting for the savings to get bigger, and they sure did. Now you can catch AirPods for as low as $69, and AirPods Max are under $400 for the first time ever. We can confidently say these are the absolute best deals on AirPods to shop now.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

The Apple AirPods Pro provide active noise cancellation and personalized spatial audio, so you get sound that's just right for you.

Best AirPods Max deal ✨🔥

Apple AirPods Max
$399.00 at Amazon
$549.00 Save $150.00

Why we like it

AirPods Max, Apple's answer to over-the-ear headphones, may not be our top pick for sound quality, but they're certainly the most stylish. Coming in green, blue, pink, silver, and space gray, they look great while also providing active noise cancellation. Similar to AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max give specialized settings with spatial audio and Dolby Atmos.

If there was ever a time to buy AirPods Max, it is right now. Seriously, don't sleep on their $399 price tag. It's the first time we've seen the headphones dip below $400, giving you $150 off and 27% savings. If you've been waiting to buy AirPods Max, now is absolutely the time, don't wait for Prime Day to actually roll around.
