Best October Prime Day Apple AirPods deals: Don’t miss these Amazon deals on AirPods

Macworld

Amazon’s second Prime Day, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, runs until midnight on October 8, and we’re tracking AirPods deals.

With the launch of the AirPods Pro 3 just last month, we’re seeing some excellent deals during this sale. The AirPods Pro 2 already had a good discount price at $199, but right now on Amazon U.S the AirPods Pro 2 are $170 and the U.K. store also has AirPods Pro 2 for £179. We recommend grabbing the AirPods Pro 2 at this price because while the newer models offer better battery life and the blood pressure monitoring chip, most of the new features, such as Live Translations, Pause while sleeping and the camera remote, are supported by the older model.

For the very best discounts across Apple’s entire product range, see our roundup of the Best Apple Prime Day Deals.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best AirPods deals

Apple just released AirPods Pro 3 last month, so we’re not expecting to see discounts on the new models. However, as mentioned above, the discounts on the AirPods Pro 2 are great and we are seeing AirPods 4 for just $89 and the AirPods 4 (with ANC) for $119. These are fantastic deals, especially since we don’t expect updates on those models until at least 2026.

U.S. AirPods Prime Day deals

AirPods Pro 2: $169.99 ($30 off, MSRP $199)

AirPods 4: $89 ($40 off, MSRP $129)

AirPods 4 (with ANC): $119 ($90 off, MSRP $179) LIMITED TIME DEAL

AirPods Max: $429 ($120 off, MSRP $549) LIMITED TIME DEAL

Wired EarPods (USB-C): $17 ($2 off, MSRP $19)

U.K. AirPods Prime Day deals

Because Apple has dropped the price of the AirPods 4 in the U.K. be sure to check the discount against the new price (AirPods 4 are now £119, AirPods 4 with ANC are now £169). Also keep in mind that the AirPods Pro 3 cost £219, which is £10 less than the AirPods Pro 2 sold for.

Amazon is matching the prices from Prime Day in July, with the AirPods Pro 2 for £179 and the AirPods 4 (with ANC) for £149. The price of the AirPods 4 is even lower than it was in July at £105.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): £179 (£50 off, RRP was £229 then £199) PRIME BIG DEAL

AirPods 4: £105 (£14 off, RRP £119) PRIME BIG DEAL

AirPods 4 (with ANC): £149 (£20 off, RRP £169) PRIME BIG DEAL

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best headphones deals

If you don’t want AirPods, Apple also sells a line of Beats headphones and earbuds, including the popular over-ear Solo 4 and PowerBeats Pro 2, which have many of the same features as AirPods Pro at a lower price. There are some big savings on other headphone manufacturers too.

We’ll also track headphone deals in our round up of the best earbuds for iPhone and best over-ear headphones if you’d like to see deals on other brands.
