Would you like to buy AirPod headphones for yourself or as a holiday gift this year? I have good news. All three flavors of Apple’s signature true wireless headphones are at or near the cheapest price we’ve ever seen. But let’s back up a little. $ 159 for standard AirPods, $ 199 for AirPods with wireless charging case, when you step into the Apple Store AirPods Pro It has better sound quality and active noise canceling. However, as many major retailers began selling Black Friday early, bargains were found to be close to or better than last month’s Prime Day discounts.

AirPods Pro is back at $ 200 on Amazon. It also sells for $ 195 on Woot (within the highest ever price of $ 5), but the deal continues in and out of stock. Standard AirPods, on the other hand, have dropped to just $ 99 on Amazon, Costco, and Walmart, and other retailers seem to be comparable at that price. (((Best Buy Price It was temporarily $ 100, but has now returned to $ 130. )
Currently, we cannot guarantee that you will see a better price than the price from now until the end of the year. But the lesson of the story is that for now you shouldn’t pay the full price of Apple headphones (the price of the Apple Store).
