The 2025 Amazon Prime Day deals event is on the horizon, which means Prime Day AirPods deals are coming your way. Amazon's two-day sale is one of the best opportunities of the year to find impressive discounts on Apple's best-selling AirPods lineup.

To help you find all the best prices when they become available, I've created this Prime Day AirPods deals guide. I'm also breaking down when Amazon's sale starts, what deals you can expect, and if you need a Prime membership.

While Amazon hasn't announced the dates of this year's Prime Day sale, the retailer has confirmed that the two-day sale will take place in July. Based on previous years, we expect the sale to launch on July 8 or 15, and I'll update this page when the official dates have been announced.

In the meantime, I've listed today's best AirPods deals in the US below, followed by everything you need to know about this year's Prime Day AirPods deals event.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?

We shouldn't have to wait that much longer for Prime Day Apple Watch deals. While Amazon hasn't announced the dates for its official 2025 Prime Day sale, the retailer has confirmed that it will take place in July.

Based on past years, we can predict that the 48-hour sale event will take place on July 8-9 or begin on July 15. As soon as Amazon confirms the date, I'll update this page with any early Prime Day AirPods deals.

What Prime Day AirPods deals to expect

This year, we have the all-new AirPods 4 with and without active noise cancellation, and I predict we could see a new record-low price for both models. Apple's newest AirPods have dropped to as low as $99 / £116 (originally $129 / £129) for the model without noise cancellation and to $138.99 / £159 (originally $179 / £179) for the model with noise cancellation. If you see a bigger discount during Prime Day, then you should snap it up quickly, because Prime Day Apple deals tend to sell out quickly.

The AirPods Pro 2 were a best-seller at last year's Prime Day sale, thanks to a new record-low price during the two-day event. During Prime Day, the AirPods Pro 2 were on sale for their lowest price yet, $153.99 / £179. For Prime Day, we're looking at a return to this price or slightly lower.

Last but not least, the pricey AirPods Max are also on our radar, and anything over a $100 / £50 discount would be a good deal to snap up.

Do you need a Prime membership to shop Prime Day AirPods deals?

To make the most of Amazon's official Prime Day AirPods deals, you will need an Amazon Prime membership to shop the two-day sale. However, not all discounts are counted as part of Prime Day, so it won't be essential in all cases. Thankfully, Amazon offers a free 30-day trial that you can take advantage of during the sales event.

Last year, thanks to competing sales at US retailers like Best Buy and Walmart, Prime Day AirPods deals were available with price matching or even better deals in some places. The best part is that there's no membership requirement to shop these offers.

If you've never signed up before, you can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to get access to this year's Prime Day deals. You get the same benefits as paid members, including free delivery and access to other services such as Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming, and more. You can cancel at any time during the trial to avoid paying the regular fee, which is $14.99 / £8.99 per month.

Last year's best AirPods deals (US)

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): $249.99$168.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): was $249.99 now $168.99 at Amazon
The AirPods Pro 2 are the best-selling earbuds on the planet, and they earn it – especially at this lowest-ever price of $168.99, which is $10 less than we've ever seen them before. The sound quality is excellent, the noise cancellation power is top-level, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is really cool, and they're packed with smart features for iPhone users, including an 'unloseable' case that's truly super-helpful.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): $129 $69.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $129 now $69.99 at Amazon
Amazon's 2nd generation AirPods are back on sale for just $69.99. Take note: $69 is the lowest price we've ever seen and incredible value for a pair of Apple's superb earbuds – so if you don't mind the extra 99c, you want your own shiny new AirPods and you don't need them to be the latest model, this Prime Day deal is highly recommended.

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen:$169$119 at Amazon

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen: was $169 now $119 at Amazon
This is the cheapest we've ever seen this mid-range AirPods model, so it's following the AirPods Pro's lead! If you want the spatial audio tech and short-tipped design of the AirPods Pro, but without the in-ear fit, these will work for you nicely – though you also don't get active noise cancellation, and the audio quality isn't as rich. However, they've got fast pairing, Find My support, auto-switching between Apple devices, audio sharing and all the usual AirPods smarts.

Apple AirPods Max:$549$394.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Max: was $549 now $394.99 at Amazon
Guess what – it's another record-low price! Though only by a few bucks. Dolby Atmos spatial audio sound makes them exceptionally good for listening to movies privately, while they also block out environmental noises around you with highly effective noise cancellation. The sound quality is generally excellent, and they come with plenty of smarts for Apple devices.

Last year's Prime Day AirPods deals (UK)

AirPods Pro 2:£229£211 at Amazon

AirPods Pro 2: was £229 now £211 at Amazon
Apple's best earbuds are discounted to £211, an £18 saving – sadly, it's a lot higher than the £179 you could get them for over Prime Day. With AirPods Pro 2, you get glorious sound quality, top-tier active noise cancellation, spatial audio, all the usual Apple smarts, and even a smart case that you can't lose, thanks to the same tracking tech used in AirTags.

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen:£169£129 at Amazon

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen: was £169 now £129 at Amazon
Amazon has dropped the price of these to £129, marking a new all-time low. You get the spatial audio of AirPods Pro, but without the in-ear fit, which some people don't like (and no active noise cancellation). Otherwise, you've got AirPods' usual smarts, including auto-switching and Find My support.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): £129£95 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was £129 now £95 at Amazon
This is not an amazing deal, to be frank, but this is an AirPods guide, and this is the lowest price for this particular model, so here you go. For lower this price, you can get far superior buds from Sony or Nothing – see our overall Prime Day headphones deals guide for those.

Apple AirPods Max:£499£426 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Max: was £499 now £426 at Amazon
This is a decent price for these excellent headphones – we've very rarely seen them on offer for less than this (although they have dipped as low as £403.99 in the past). For this price, you get a pair of exquisite-sounding headphones – as long as the green, silver or space gray finishes finishes work – that deliver some of the best noise cancellation and spatial audio in the business, along with all the usual AirPods advantages.
