Cheap AirPods deals can be found everywhere this month. That’s good news for Apple fans because it means there are AirPods sales for every budget. In fact, we’re now seeing some of the best cheap AirPods sales on Apple’s entire headphone lineup.
Currently, Amazon has the AirPods Pro on sale for $199. That’s $49 off and the lowest price you’ll find for Apple’s premium buds right now. Meanwhile, if you want the best cheap AirPods — Amazon again has the AirPods on sale for $119.99. That’s one of the best AirPods deals to date and cheaper than last week’s price.
Generally speaking, AirPods sales fluctuate from $99 to $139 (for the standard AirPods), so any cheap AirPods sales within that price range are a good deal. Anything above $139, and we’d recommend waiting for the next batch of AirPods sales.
Retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, B&H Photo, and Staples are the best stores for cheap AirPods sales. Alternatively, Verizon and AT&T occasionally have AirPods sales on Apple’s premium buds. Otherwise, here are the best AirPods deals and sales in one spot below. (Also, make sure to check out our coverage of the best Apple deals for the latest discounts on other Apple gear).

Cheap AirPods sales at the Apple Store
Unfortunately, the Apple Store doesn’t offer refurb AirPods deals, so if you’re looking for cheap AirPods, you’re better off looking elsewhere. Instead, the Apple Store offers the AirPods at their full price. That translates to $159 for the AirPods with Charging Case and $199 for the AirPods with Wireless Charging Case.
Meanwhile, the AirPods Pro will set you back $249. Their price is higher because they feature active noise cancellation, water/sweat resistance, and a transparency mode that lets you filter in ambient noise. In a nutshell, they’re the AirPods we’ve always wanted.
Cheap AirPods sales history
As far as AirPods sales are concerned, the standard AirPods hit an all-time price low of $99 on Cyber Monday. You can normally find them on sale from $124 to $129. Meanwhile, the AirPods with Wireless Case hit an all-time price low of $139 in early August.
The newer AirPods Pro can usually be found on sale for $199. During Black Friday/Cyber Monday, they dropped to $169, which is not only their lowest price ever, but about as good as cheap AirPods deals get. We predict we’ll see this price again, but it won’t be as often as it was the last few months.
Which cheap AirPods should you get?
The Editor’s Choice second-gen AirPods (2019) are great for most Apple fans. They’re your most affordable option and use Apple’s new H1 chip to rapidly connect to your Apple devices. They’re also smarter than their predecessors (which you can no longer find online). The AirPods feature hands-free Siri. That’s right, instead of having to tap out your Siri requests on those long, thin AirPod stems, you can simply say “Hey Siri,” and launch the ubiquitous digital assistant.
The pricier AirPods Pro offer the same features as the AirPods, but add water/sweat resistance and noice cancellation to the mix. They also sport a new design that’s more modern than the AirPods 2. They come with different sized ear tips to create a custom fit that’s perfect for your ears.
We’ve worn our AirPods Pro for everything from running to high intensity interval training. We’ve also worn them in the rain and while sweating through a burpee workout. The buds remain sturdy in our ear and they sound great. They also feature a transparency mode that’s good for runners and other pedestrians who want to keep track of their surroundings while listening to music.
