Best Amazon Prime Day AirPods Deals 2022: What to Shop Now

Apple’s genius—sorry—comes to light via its first earbuds with active noice cancellation. For one, the tips actually stay in, no matter the situation they find themselves in. Secondly, they track your head motion to “tilt” the audio left or right, giving you a 3D-immersive sound experience. The noise cancellation, then, is a clutch for certain leave-me-the-hell-alone situation, and doesn’t come with faint inner static. And, lastly, the adaptive EQ just delivers better quality sound.

If there’s one pair of buds that’ll do justice to the guitar riff in “Edge of Seventeen” or the bass in “Smooth Criminal,” it’s the AirPods 3. Think of the third gen as the AirPods Pro sans noise-cancelling functionality. And with $30 nicely shaved off, it’s a deal come true.

The AirPods Max get a bad rep, for one reason only—the hefty price tag, which overshadows its real key specs: the pristine audio and the deafening noise cancellation. Putting them on will legitimately put you in your own little world. And when you’re in it, crisp, spatial sound assisted by head-tracking tech shall fill it wholly. And now, as they finally dip below $500, consider it a blessing.

These are your first love; your average, run-of-the-mills AirPods—and unsurprisingly the most popular model on Amazon. No shame in getting them—again—however, because they just work, even without bells and whistles like customizable fit, wireless charging, adaptive EQ, active noise cancellation, or spatial audio. The sound quality still beats other earbuds models by a landslide. Just make sure they don’t slip out when you get sweaty.

Almost got you there, didn’t we? Though not technically AirPods, this wireless charging case for AirPods (1st gen and 2nd gen only) is crucial. If your case has slipped out of your pocket or gotten lost in the grass, or if you’ve finally gotten sick of the stubborn wax buildup (be honest), this deal is still a considerable upgrade. (And no harm in being more hygienic from now on, either.)
