Overview
- Amazon is listing AirPods Max 2 for $499 and AirPods Pro 3 for $169, both reported as all-time lows for new units, with AirPods 4 showing at $99.
- Other retailers including Best Buy and B&H have matched or cut prices intermittently, but some stores still showed full price on new Max 2 units at the time of reporting.
- The discounts matter because the Max 2 and Pro 3 are recent-generation models that include Apple’s H2 chip, stronger active noise cancellation, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation and improved adaptive audio.
- Deals are highly volatile and often short-lived, with prices changing by color, seller and condition and with open-box or used listings offering deeper savings but different return terms.
- Shoppers should act quickly if they want these prices, verify seller and condition before purchase, and expect any further Prime Day moves to be modest rather than dramatically deeper discounts.
