AirPods 3
Starting with the AirPods 3, Amazon has discounted this model to $149.98, down from $179.00. As of writing only Amazon is offering this sale, and it's shipped and sold directly by Amazon.
Compared to previous sales, this is about $10 off from the lowest price we've ever tracked on the AirPods 3. However, that all-time low price hasn't reappeared since January, so today's deal is a solid second-best option for those in the market for the third-generation AirPods.
AirPods Max
Next, Amazon also has a good deal on the AirPods Max, which you can get for $439.00, down from $549.00. This deal is available in Pink, Silver, and Sky Blue.
Just like the AirPods 3 deal, this offer on the AirPods Max is about $10 off from the Amazon all-time low price. The AirPods Max is shipped and sold directly by Amazon as well, and all three colors are in stock to ship this week.
We track sales for every model of the AirPods in our Best AirPods Deals guide, so be sure to bookmark that page while you shop around for the wireless headphones.

Whenever AirPods Max gets USB C, proper folding in a case, on/off, and lossless audio via WiFi; then they’ll be worth the price.
While they're not perfect and definitely not worth $550, seeing them heavily discounted, refurbished, or used for $330-439 is a game-changer in my opinion. I just snagged this nice little bundle for $375:
Just got them and I love them! My only minor complaint is that I was expecting them to be a little louder at max volume, but maybe I just have unhealthy listening habits. Also wish I could purchase AC+ but these are older than 60 days so unfortunately that's no longer an option. For $375 I can't really be too upset though.
Nice to hear from you and happy you like them! Max volume: have you activated loudness restrictions?
