Amazon Prime Day 2022 may be over, but Amazon still has some great deals on Apple AirPods, including discounts on AirPods Pro and AirPods Max headphones. We've also found the best deals at competing retailers such as Walmart to make sure that you can get the best deal on Apple AirPods.
Top products in this article:
Best Apple AirPods Pro deal at Amazon: Apple AirPods Pro, $170 (reduced from $249
Best Apple AirPods Max deal: Apple AirPods Max (pink), $439 (regularly $549)
If you're planning to get more active this summer, Apple AirPods make for great gym headphones . They are water and sweat-resistant, making them the perfect addition to your summer fitness routine or outdoor activities. Plus, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get these Apple AirPods with free two-day shipping, and in many locations, free one-day shipping.
Apple AirPods prices are now significantly below Apple retail at Amazon right now.
Just about anyone will love these budget-minded Apple AirPods. They're not the latest model, but they're still one of the most sought-after earbud models on the market. These AirPods boast more than 24 hours total listening time (with the wireless charging case), a foolproof, one-tap setup for Apple device owners and a low-latency wireless connection (for full immersion when consuming movies and music).
The 2nd generation AirPods retail for $159 at Apple, but Walmart currently has them in stock for $120.

The latest generation of Apple AirPods are a nice upgrade over the second-generation model. They support 3D spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. You get more listening time, too -- up to 30 hours with the included MagSafe charging case. They're currently sold out on Amazon but Walmart has them in stock for $170, lower than Apple's retail price of $179.
Upgrade your old AirPods to the Apple AirPods Pro. These AirPods fit active noise cancelation technology, water resistance and hearing health tracking in a more-compact, better-fitting design. They're also lauded for their great sound quality. But all this quality comes at a steep price -- specifically $250. That's why the discount we found at Amazon is a big deal.
Now on sale on Amazon for $170, the Apple AirPods Pro are a great deal for those with some flexibility in their budget.

These headphones feature 20 hours of listening. They come in a variety of colors including blue, green, red and silver -- though you can currently get the biggest discount on the pink ones. They're also compatible with Siri.

If you're partial to rock, folk or country, the bright-sounding, on-ear Beats Solo3 may be a good fit. These headphones support spatial audio (for a more-immersive listening experience), soft-ear foams (for comfort), and up to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge.
The Beats Studio3 headphones in black are currently 36% off at Amazon. This makes them one of the best headphone deals out there right now. Other colors are available on Amazon, but the best deal is on the black headphones (pictured).
On top of their adaptive noise cancelation, the Beats Studio3 headphones feature real-time audio calibration. They're fast-charging, and easy to connect with iOS and Android devices, too.

They come in several different colors.
