We have great news: Amazon's Big Spring Sale officially kicked off on March 25 (it's going through March 31!), and we found solid deals on top-tested Apple tech, including can't-miss savings on every single AirPods model.
Right now, AirPods 4 are sitting at a record-low $100, while the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro are an impressive $170 (that's $79 off). Not to mention, you can shop a $70 price cut on the over-ear AirPods Max during this spring savings event.
We'll tell it to you straight: our team tracks Apple prices year-round, so we know which deals are worth it and which you can skip. As a result, we suspected that the AirPods discounts Amazon was running last week would dip even lower once the Big Spring Sale officially kicked off—and we were right! At $100, AirPods 4 are at their lowest price ever—they weren't even this steeply discounted on Black Friday.
Apple rarely hosts its own sales, so we usually have to wait for retailers like Amazon to drop prices on Apple Watches, iPads and more. That being said—discounted Apple tech tends to sell out, so if you see something you really want, it's not a bad idea to add it to your cart sooner rather than later.
Amazon Spring Sale AirPods Deals
Tested by in-house tech experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute, the second-generation Pros are our pick for the best Apple AirPods. Our editors love their noise-canceling capabilities and excellent sound quality, letting you listen to your favorite music, podcasts, movies and more without interruption.
They come with four different pairs of silicone tips so you can customize the fit to be most comfortable in your ears (a feature that sets them apart from classic AirPods). With a battery life of up to six hours, or 30 hours with the charging case, the AirPods Pro offers plenty of listening time to get through workouts, phone calls, long travel days and more. Per the brand, they're also dust-, water- and sweat-resistant for better durability.
According to Apple, this pair offers even better noise cancellation than the first iteration of the AirPods Pro, and our pros were impressed with how well these earbuds blocked out busy New York City noise. Should you want to hear your surroundings, simply turn off noise cancellation with a single tap along the earbud's stem. Apple also added a feature called "conversation awareness," which reduces your audio volume and background noise automatically when you start speaking.
Regularly retailing at $249, you can shop them for $169 now as part of Amazon's Big Spring Sale. Not only is this the deepest AirPods discount, but it's possible we won't see savings this significant crop up again until Memorial Day or Prime Day!
Amazon Spring Sale Beats Deals
On top of the AirPods markdowns, Amazon also dropped prices on several different styles of Beats headphones. If you didn't know, the popular tech brand is owned and manufactured by Apple. So if you're looking for similar quality with more personalized colors and style options, these Beats deals are worth considering too. We found savings nearly up to 50% off.
