AirPods are already down to all-time-low prices ahead of Prime Day 2025

Macworld

If you’re looking for a new pair of AirPods, Amazon’s twice-yearly Prime Day sales are a great time to look for a discount. Amazon often has AirPods on sale for well below Apple’s MSRP, but when big sales events like this come around, you can often get a pair for an all-time-low price.

The AirPods picked here are all chosen by our editors, who have decades of experience with Apple devices. We’ve reviewed everything we recommend and we won’t tell you to buy something that’s not actually worth your money. The products below are all at or near all-time lows, and we’ve selected what we think is the best configuration for each product type. We know Apple is expensive, so we’ve chosen products at prices we would be willing to pay, so you can trust that our recommendations will steer you in the right direction—and save you big bucks.

For the tastiest discounts across Apple’s entire product range, see our roundup of the best Prime Day Apple deals.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: Best AirPods deals

Apple is rumored to update the AirPods Pro later this year, but we still recommend grabbing a pair of the current generation if the price dips below $200. The AirPods 4 were just updated last year, so we don’t expect updates until at least next year. The AirPods Max is due an update, but rumors suggest 2026 is more likely.
