Straight discounts on AirPods don't come around very often and these are all-time-low prices for the accessory at both retailers, although they have been slightly cheaper for those using sitewide discount codes at places like eBay. So if you have been waiting for a price drop on AirPods, head over to Amazon or Adorama and place your order soon.
We've also got a new collection of Anker discounts to highlight today:

Hopefully the AirPods discounts are because they're going to release that newer version soon that has the wireless charging case. Hopefully since they announced it a year ago they have upgraded it in other ways too like a newer W2 chip which makes the range even better and helps improve battery life a little bit to maybe 6 hours per charge?
