Apple AirPods see deep price cuts during Amazon Prime Day sales

Amazon Prime Day offers steep discounts on several Apple AirPods models, including up to 20% off the AirPods 4 and 16% off the AirPods Pro 3.

During Amazon's Prime Day event, Apple AirPods are among the most sought-after deals, with multiple models marked down. The AirPods 4 receive almost a 20% reduction, making them the cheapest they have been since their 2025 debut, and they boast spatial audio, sweat- and water-resistance, and up to 24 hours of battery life. The AirPods Pro 3 are offered at a 16% discount, delivering twice the noise cancellation of the AirPods Pro 2 and eight hours of active noise cancellation per charge.

Additionally, the AirPods Max are discounted by 15% in both midnight and blue finishes, featuring professional-grade active noise cancellation and a transparency mode for ambient awareness. These promotions highlight the popularity of Apple’s wireless earbuds during major shopping events.
