The late‑summer AirPods deals are flying. While a next‑gen release may arrive next month, the current AirPods Pro 3 sit at some of the best prices, the AirPods 4 with ANC hit the lowest rate in nearly half a year, and the AirPods Max 2 just dropped to $120 off the list price. We’re likely on the brink of a new in‑ear experience, but Apple upgraded its over‑ear model this year, and it now offers one of the best deals since launch.

Current discounts: AirPods Pro 3 $190 (Reg. $249), AirPods Max 2 $429 (Reg. $549), AirPods 4 with ANC $135 (Reg. $179 new) – best price in 6 months, and AirPods 4 $99 (Reg. $129). Amazon ships the Max 2 at $429, a $120 savings. A brief Prime Day offer slashed it to $399, but stock and color were hit‑or‑miss. Best Buy is now offering all five colors at the discounted rate as part of its massive 60th Anniversary Sale, and Amazon is expected to follow.

The new Max 2 features a high‑dynamic‑range amp, Apple’s H2 chip, 1.5× more ANC, and a new digital‑signal‑processing algorithm that upgrades Transparency mode. Other upgrades include adaptive audio, conversation awareness, live translation, voice isolation, camera remote, studio‑quality audio recording, loud sound reduction, personalized volume, and Siri interactions.
