Amazon Prime Day isn't until next week, but the company is already providing new record low prices across multiple AirPods models right now. This includes the AirPods 2, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Max, and the AirPods 3, which we covered yesterday.

Deals start with the AirPods 2 at just $69.00, down from $129.00. This is one of the first times the AirPods 2 have hit this best-ever price in 2024, and only Amazon has the deal. Similarly, the AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) are available for $169.00, down from $249.00, another all-time low price.




Finally, the AirPods Max have dropped to $399.00, down from $549.00. This is a new record low price on the AirPods Max, beating the previous best price by about $20. Amazon has all five colors of the headphones at this price as well.



Head to our full Deals Roundup to get caught up with all of the latest deals and discounts that we've been tracking over the past week.

That price drop on the Max is tempting, but it's basically outdated tech and I don't want to get burned if they release a newer version this fall. The Pods are more advanced than the Max at this point.

The main thing that one should look for is the sound quality. The advanced feature would be lossless, and better noise canceling. For the noise canceling I would be willing to update, lossless is nice, better battery is nice, usb c is nice but not something that would compel one to update like sound quality and better noise canceling.

I wouldn’t bother now with USB C / EU Friendly revisions likely incoming.

Price is tempting me also even despite the lightning cable. The new model is supposed to have the H3 chip so I think it's worth waiting for. And maybe on the new model, they can invent an off button. It seems silly that you can't turn them off. Is that for FindMy or something?

It's a good deal If you don't need Applecare+, which costs an additional $30, and not a Costco member, for the APP2.
For Costco members, it's $200, which already includes Applecare+.

So $199 from Amazon with Applecare or $200 from Costco… or I don’t understand what you are saying. I also just checked and Costco is $249.
 
APP2’s ANC has been nerfed so badly. Wish I never bought them. Should have known based on how they did the same with the APP1s.

Costco usually has the APP2s on sale several times a year.
If one is not in a rush, wait until it goes on sale again.
Similar to how BB or Amazon generally has a sale on the APP2s several times a year.
You’ll see similiar sales shown on MR many times.

The price is $199.99 for the APP2 and $ 479.95 for APM following those links. Misleading!
