If you’ve been patiently waiting for a discount on Apple’s latest earbuds or over-ear headphones, it’s finally here. For a limited time, both the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2 are on sale, knocking up to $100 off their regular prices. Whether you want pocketable earbuds for everyday use, premium noise-canceling headphones, or seamless Apple integration, these are some of the best prices I’ve seen since launch. As always with Amazon deals, there’s no telling how long they’ll stick around, so I wouldn’t wait too long if you’ve been planning to upgrade.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 for $200 ($49 Off)
The latest AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s best AirPods yet. Upgrades include stronger noise canceling, a new acoustic architecture for deeper bass, and redesigned ear tips for a more secure fit. New tools include a built-in heart rate sensor for fitness tracking, live translation, and a camera remote to snap photos or videos on your iPhone. These earbuds are also the first AirPods to be IP57 rated against dust, sweat, and rain.
Right now, they are 20 percent off at Amazon, Target, and Walmart. There’s no telling how long this discount will last, so I’d grab a pair now if they’re on your wish list.
Apple AirPods Max 2 for $449 ($100 Off)
The AirPods Max 2 are arguably the most stylish pair of noise-canceling headphones on the market. The newer H2 chip improves active noise cancellation and transparency mode and enables a suite of intelligent features, including conversation awareness, live translation, and improved Siri interactions. The AirPods Max 2 are designed with a new high-dynamic-range amplifier for deeper bass, more natural vocals, and cleaner highs.
At $549, the AirPods Max 2 can be a tough sell, especially with so many excellent, more affordable alternatives on the market. But $100 off, they’re a lot easier to justify, especially if you want the seamless integration that comes with Apple’s ecosystem. It’s unclear how long this deal will last, so I’d snag a pair sooner rather than later if you’ve been eyeing them.
