There are some excellent early Prime Day deals happening at the moment amongst all of the 4th of July sales going on right now as well, so it's a great time to score a tech bargain. One such delightful deal is the Apple AirPods 2 at Amazon for $89 (was $129).
This isn’t quite the lowest price ever, as they did dip to $79 during last year's Black Friday, but the earbuds are the cheapest they’ve been this year – and a $10 difference isn't too bad in our books.
Bordering on being cheap enough to compete with the best budget earbuds, the Apple AirPods 2 are a reliable pair of buds for everyday use. They might have since been overtaken by the Apple AirPods 3 but they’re still good quality. You get over 24 hours of battery life once you factor in the charging case and they pair to all your Apple devices near instantaneously.
Today’s best Apple AirPods 2 deal
Over the years, we’ve reassessed the Apple AirPods to be the best AirPods for anyone on a budget. As our Apple AirPods 2 review explains, they’re packed with useful features like great connectivity and Siri support, but they lack some finer details like improved audio and interchangeable ear tips.
At this price, though, you can’t really expect them to compete with the best earbuds. Instead, simplicity is everything. They turn on automatically once you put them in your ears and you can easily share a song between two sets of AirPods.
Five hours of playback is pretty good from one charge while there are more than 24 hours once you factor in the charging case, which is a Lightning cable-based solution instead of wireless.
If you’re looking for something a bit more advanced we’re counting on seeing some extra special Amazon Prime Day AirPods deals in the next couple of weeks. However, we’re not sure if the AirPods 2 will drop that extra $10 down to meet its best-ever price. There are other headphone deals around too if you’re not sold on AirPods.
