Early Prime Day AirPods Deals: Save $50 on Apple's Newest Wireless Earbuds

pcmag.com:

Apple AirPods are, without a doubt, some of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. It's hard to find a better product at a similar price with intuitive controls, the ability to detect when they're in your ears, and the transparency mode in the Pro models. And with this pre-Prime Day deal, the price just got better.

There's no need to wait for Prime Day with Amazon's latest set of deals. You'll find price cuts on AirPod models across the board, taking as much as 20% off the usual price. That includes the new AirPods Pro with USB-C port, a handy upgrade if you just purchased a new iPhone.

The transition away from Lightning connectivity to USB-C might have been mandated by European law, but it's a huge relief for Apple fans exhausted from looking for that one specific cord. USB-C is fast, reliable, and universal, so adding it to the already deeply impressive second-generation AirPods Pro is a bonus. When we reviewed them, we called them "the best noise-cancelling true wireless earphones for Apple device users" and gave them an Editors' Choice award. These just came out and they're already 20% discounted, so pick them up while the price lasts.

Full disclosure: these are the exact same headphones as the USB-C charging ones above, but with the soon-to-be-phased-out Lightning port. Still, these are stunningly potent earbuds. They feature powerful active noise cancellation and the fascinating Adaptive Transparency mode, which lets you modulate external sounds down to ear-healthy levels. The charging case even has a built-in speaker. You'll get $50 off for the best AirPods, and it's still a great buy if you plan to stick with Lightning
