Need a new pair of AirPods? You can always find Apple's earbuds and headphones on sale for cheaper than usual during Amazon's Prime Day event — not just on Amazon, but at competing retailers, too.
Prime Day 2026 is live now through June 26, and so far, the top AirPods deal involves the over-ear AirPods Max 2. They're currently marked down to a record-low price of $399 on Amazon, or a whopping $150 off. (They only just came out in April, mind you.) Amazon's inventory is starting to dwindle as we approach the midway point of Prime Day, but Walmart still has a few colorways in stock at the same price; it's running a sale of its own this week.
Meanwhile, the entry-level AirPods 4 and noise-cancelling AirPods Pro 3 are both on sale for up to $70 off this Prime Day. Neither model is matching its biggest discount on record, but given Apple's plans for price hikes in the near future, these are probably going to be their best deals for a while.
Read on for our rundown of the best Prime Day AirPods deals available. If you're a brand loyalist, be sure to check out our dedicated guide to the top Prime Day deals on all Apple products.

Why we like it
The vanilla AirPods 4 are our No. 1 Apple earbuds for budget buyers. In our testing, they sounded fantastic, fit comfortably, and worked seamlessly with other Apple devices. We saw them drop all the way down to $69 last Black Friday, but $99 is their best price so far in 2026. Save $30 at Amazon and Walmart. (PSA: Walmart also has pre-owned AirPods 4 on sale for just $65.)
The AirPods 4 are also available with ANC. That pair is on sale for $148.99 (normally $179) at Amazon, Walmart, and Costco. For reference, their record-low price is $99.

Best AirPods Pro deal
$249 Save $70
The AirPods Pro 3 are our favorite AirPods across all price points, offering great ANC, an eight-hour battery life, plus extra fixings like a built-in heart rate monitor. They're also more water- and sweat-resistant than the regular AirPods 4, making them better for working out. They were only $169 on Amazon last week, but at the time of writing, they were sitting at $179 there. Walmart was price-matching them.

Best AirPods Max deal
$549 Save $150
Apple's newly updated headphones have better ANC than the original AirPods Max from 2021. They run on the same H2 chip as the AirPods Pro 3, so they support the same software features (such as Live Translation and Conversation Awareness). In one of the best and most unexpected Prime Day deals thus far, they're on sale for just $399 this week — a new all-time low. Amazon had them in stock at that price in midnight at the time of writing. They're price-matched at Walmart in blue, purple, and starlight.
