Apple's AirPods are notoriously expensive — but they're popular for a reason. If you want to see what all the fuss is about without (completely) breaking the bank, shopping events like Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days can be a great time to pick up a pair of the headphones.Though the October Prime-member exclusive sale doesn't officially kick off until Tuesday, Oct. 8, the AirPod deals are already rolling in — even on the newly released AirPods 4.

Last week, we saw deals on the AirPods Pro and AirPods 4 with noise cancellation that have since jumped back up in price. (The Pros drop to $199 so often that we don't really consider that a decent deal.) It's not uncommon to see products hit their full prices ahead of a sitewide sale, so with Prime Big Deal Days just seven days away, this isn't unexpected.Even so, there are still savings to be had, if sparse. The AirPods Max are $120 off, putting them down at $429. It's not their lowest price ever — that honor would go to their $395 price tag we saw them hit earlier this summer — but if you really don't want to wait until Prime Day, this is a decent price to grab them at. If you don't need noise-cancelling, you can also save $10 on the newly released AirPods 4.Below, you'll find our complete list of the best AirPod deals ahead of Prime Day. For folks who aren't married to the fruit brand, you'll also find plenty of more deals on headphones ahead of Prime Day here.Best AirPods deal

Why we like itCheck out our full review of the AirPods Max.There are two differences between the Lightning port AirPods Max from 2020 and the USB-C AirPods Max from 2024 — not two main differences, but two differences, period. One, they have different charging ports. Two, they have different color ways. Performance wise, you'll be enjoying the same excellent active noise cancellation and sound profile on this 2020 model that you would on the new model. The third difference, at the time of writing, is that you can grab the AirPods Max for $120 off at just $429 (if you're cool with the pink colorway), while the lowest price on the USB-C Max headphones is $540.99, an $8 markdown on their $549 price tag.More early AirPods dealsApple AirPods 4 — $119 $129 (save $10)Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) — $129.99 $169 (save $39.01)Apple AirPods Pro 2 — $199 $249 (save $50)Apple AirPods Max (with Lightning) — $429 $549 (save $120)PROMOTED
