Today we're tracking new sales on every model of Apple's AirPods, starting with a return of the lowest-ever price on the AirPods with Wireless Charging Case on Amazon, priced at $129.00, down from $199.00. Below you'll also find sales on the AirPods with Wired Charging Case, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max.

We've seen this sale about three times total throughout 2021, making it a somewhat rare discount on top of being the lowest we've ever tracked for the AirPods with Wireless Charging Case. Walmart is also offering this deal to its shoppers, with the option of free in-store pick-up.

Have they changed their approach to the AirPod Max battery management? I would like some over-the-ear AirPods, but I am never going to use that case.

I'm not sure, but I remember when they were doing teardowns, it looked like the AirPods Max shut down using Hall effect sensors, so you could probably just buy a couple tiny magnets yourself and use them as… off buttons?

If you look into third party cases, they boast "special magnetic materials" that disconnect the bluetooth, so I assume they're just putting a magnet near one of the cups in the right place.

I’m not sure if Apple revised their approach to battery management, but they hold up very well! Your iPhone or iPad will likely run out of battery before your AirPods Max.

Took the bite shortly before summer holidays and haven’t looked back. By far the most comfortable/luxurious headphones. Sure, the sound is on par with Bose/Sony, but the convenience factor of the Apple ecosystem (and Spatial Audio through Apple Music) is well worth the extra cost. I love not having to worry about connecting them… they just work (like other AirPods, but they’re the only over ear headphones to do so). Plus, the case definitely grows on you. I found it much easier/lighter to pack for travel than Sony/Bose, and it actually does a good job of keeping them free of dirt/dust.

When the time comes, battery/ear cup replacement is reasonable, especially when compared to having to buy a whole new set of AirPods!

Keep an eye out for the sales, they make it an even easier choice for premium headphones.

ugh... to wait, or not to wait?

I just bought my pros like two weeks ago for like $199, I hope they price match at Wal-Mart...

I was hoping to just toss them on a headphone stand next to my office couch. But thank you for sharing this, it's a good alternative if I wanted to travel with them.

I plan to use it exclusively with an Apple TV.

AirPods Max hit a low of £354 a week or so here in the UK thanks to eBay discount codes.

That deal has expired now but eBay codes are coming all the time.

Same boat; waiting for the 3 Gen, but tempted on getting the Pros now.

 

[Jemi9OD]

Same boat as both hcherry and austyn23. Max have been on my wish list for a while, but I still haven't pulled the trigger. That's a lot of dough, still.

I would prefer the 3rd Gen regular AirPods than the pros. But also the 2nd gen would be a smart buy if they low the price even more...

Same here. I much prefer the AirPods 2nd gen for their fit. I'm going to try and hold out until something gets announced this month. If we get an AirPods model that doesn't have the in-ear/silicone, I'm on it. Otherwise, just gonna grab a new set of the 2nd gen.

Someday I’ll get the Max, but for now $400 is still too much to stomach. AirPods Pro have been fantastic.

My workplace is offering a $100 expense for headsets for returning to office so these AirPods sales came just in time haha.
