Sony Makes $58 Wireless Headphones That Deserve a Place in Your Rotation
The AirPods Pro are now in their second incarnation, with the Apple AirPods Pro having been released this past fall. That’s led to deep discounts on the previous AirPods models, as well as the older AirPods Max and Apple EarPods.
Apple rarely offers discounts on its own website but we’ve found the cheapest prices for AirPods and EarPods online on Amazon. Here’s where to find Apple Earbuds on sale right now.
AirPods Pro 2nd Gen
Apple’s AirPods Pro face a lot of steep competition from the likes of Sony and Bowers & Wilkins, but they’re still the best wireless earbuds in our testing — and they’re on sale right now. They sound good, feel comfortable, last a fairly long time, and their active noise cancelling is seriously impressive. Best of all, they work well with Windows and Android devices, too.

AirPods Max
Apple’s AirPods Max combine great audio quality in a premium over-ear headphone design. They feature active noise cancelling to help seal off outside noise when you’re listening to music, or taking a call. Switch over to “transparency mode” when you want to listen to music but still hear the environment around you (say, to hear traffic while you’re running or to chat with a co-worker).
These Apple headphones have not gone on sale since they launched, but they were discounted for Black Friday and are back on sale now. Regularly $549+, Amazon’s AirPods Max sale has the headphones marked down to just $499.99 — nearly $50 discount. Get them on Amazon now.

Apple EarPods
Apple EarPods are not ‘AirPods’ but they’re the most affordable earbud option for Apple users. The connect via the lightning connector and are the only wired option on this list. They’re also currently down to just $under 18 — 39% off.
Even though they’re priced incredly low, they deliver decent audio quality, thanks to their unusual design. The built-in remote lets you adjust sound volume too and the built-in mic means you can take work calls straight from these wired earphones.
With close to 200,000 customer ratings, buy the Apple EarPods now before they sell out.
