Best October Prime Day AirPods deals: Early Amazon Prime AirPods deals

Amazon’s second Prime Day, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, runs October 7-8, and we’ll be tracking AirPods deals the whole time. During Amazon’s last Prime Day sale in July, AirPods were slashed to all-time low prices, and even with the launch of the AirPods Pro 3 just last month, we’re hoping to see even better deals during this sale.

For the very best discounts across Apple’s entire product range, see our roundup of the Best Apple Prime Day Deals.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best AirPods deals

Apple just released AirPods Pro 3 last month, so we’re not expecting to see more than $10 or $20 off the new models. However, last Prime Day, we saw AirPods 4 for under $100 and AirPods 4 with ANC for under $125, so similar savings are to be expected. We also anticipate that the older AirPods Pro 2 could now drop below $150.

The AirPods Pro 2 already have a good discount price, but could the price drop even further on October 7? It may.

U.K. AirPods Prime Day deals

Because Apple has dropped the price of the AirPods 4 in the U.K. be sure to check the discount against the new price (AirPods 4 are now £119, AirPods 4 with ANC are now £169). Also keep in mind that the AirPods Pro 3 cost £219, which is £10 less than the AirPods Pro 2 sold for.

For Prime Day in July, Amazon was selling the AirPods Pro 2 for £179, AirPods 4 for £113 and the AirPods 4 with ANC for £149, hopefully we will see even bigger savings now that Apple has actually dropped the price itself.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Best Beats deals

If you don’t want AirPods, Apple also sells a line of Beats headphones and earbuds, including the popular over-ear Solo 4 and PowerBeats Pro 2, which have many of the same features as AirPods Pro at a lower price.
