According to price tracking site Camelcamelcamel, this is the cheapest Amazon has ever sold AirPods for – you just have to be signed up to Amazon Prime to get access to the price. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.
Apple’s second-generation AirPods are down to this excellent price for Amazon Prime Day only, which is Tuesday 16 July and Wednesday 17 July. The earbuds work with all iPhones, iPads and Macs and sit in your ear comfortably for long listening sessions. You simply pop them back in the case to recharge them, while the case itself recharges via the included Lightning cable.
The buds have tap control on the outside edge for you to play, pause or skip track and there’s smart switching between all your Apple devices depending on which is playing audio. You can also talk to Siri, and the AirPods will work with Android and Windows devices as simple earbuds, but you can’t use all the smart features on non-Apple devices.

If you want something slightly more advanced, you can get the third-generation newer AirPods model for £129, down from £169. These buds have improved sound and an updated ensign with shorter stem, which also has pinch controls instead of tap controls.
You also get spatial audio where available and head tracking when connected to Apple devices, plus adaptive EQ and sweat and water resistance.
The case charges via Lightning, but you can also pay £10 more this Prime Day and get a version with a MagSafe compatible charging case for wirelessly topping up the AirPods – not bad for £139 instead of £179.

If you want the top of the range AirPods Pro, these are on sale for £179, down from £229 – a solid £50 saving. These are the latest model with a MagSafe charging case that you can also recharge via the included USB-C cable. AirPods Pro have silicone eartips for an in-ear fit with several sizes in the box, plus excellent active noise cancellation technology that blocks out external sound – these are good enough to wear on an aeroplane to remain undisturbed.

There’s also a great transparency mode that lets sound in so you can hear what’s going on around you and talk to people. With Apple’s clever H2 chip you also get all the smart features from other AirPods, plus adaptive audio and adaptive noise cancellation depending on your environment.
All the sale prices on these AirPods are expected to last until 11:59pm on Wednesday 17 July, so now is the time to pick some up.
