If you're looking for a new way to listen to your music and games, the best Prime Day AirPods deals will get you one even cheaper than before. Apple has a very unique set of audio devices, with smart features, a striking look, and a connection to the Apple ecosystem. Once you've bought an iPhone or Mac, the next logical step is to pick yourself up a new pair of AirPods. 

Luckily, you don't even have to wait until Prime Day itself starts as some great deals have already popped up. Regardless of your budget or needs, there's likely something out there for you. 

A particularly standout deal is live on AirPods Max, which are now $100 off. However, there's much more than this available and we at iMore have picked out the very best. 

Here are some of the best Amazon Prime Day AirPods deals you can get right now.

Best Prime Day AirPods deals

AirPods 2 | $129$89 at Amazon

AirPods 2 | $129 $89 at Amazon

This is not quite the lowest price ever for the AirPods 2, but it's still a decent saving of $40. That's a great deal for the budget AirPods, and a good way of getting some in your pocket — or even a spare pair in a drawer.

AirPods Max |$549$449 at Amazon

AirPods Max | $549 $449 at Amazon

This price is very close to the lowest price ever, but we're hoping to see a more precipitous drop when Prime Day rolls around. $100 off is nothing to sniff at though, and it's still a great saving if you want a pair right now.

AirPods 3 |$179$169 at Amazon

AirPods 3 | $179 $169 at Amazon

This price isn't the lowest by any stretch of the imagination on the AirPods 3, and it's worth waiting to see if it drops more over Prime Day. If you want to buy these now, though, you should go to B&H Photo.

AirPods Pro (Refurbished) | $249 $130.74 at Amazon

AirPods Pro (Refurbished) | $249 $130.74 at Amazon

The AirPods Pro 2 are great, but they are still very expensive. The AirPods Pro 1st gen are still a great pair of noise-canceling wireless headphones, however, and they are well worth it if you don’t want to pay full price for a pair of brand new ones. The noise canceling is still excellent all these years later, and their sound quality is perfectly neutral. If you go refurbished, then you’ll save over $100 over full price, making for a far more affordable pair of AirPods.
