Apple’s entry-level AirPods have already returned to their Prime Day low

Amazon Prime Day brought discounts on a whole swath of Apple products, from iPads and AirTags to the latest 15-inch MacBook Air. We also saw deals across Apple’s entire earbuds lineup — including a terrific deal on the second-gen AirPods, which quickly sold out at Amazon. Luckily, if you missed it the first time around, Apple’s entry-level earbuds are once again on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $69.99 ($60 off), effectively matching their lowest price to date.

Admittedly, Apple’s second-gen earbuds can’t rival the latest AirPods Pro with USB-C or even the third-gen AirPods, for that matter. However, the vanilla buds do offer excellent wireless performance and reliable battery life, allowing you to eke out five hours of music playback or 24 hours with the included Lightning charging case. They also boast hands-free Siri access, audio sharing, and the ability to quickly switch between Apple devices, making them a great budget pick if you’re tapped into Apple’s ecosystem and want a no-fuss pair of wireless earbuds. What you don’t get are more modern perks like active noise cancellation and multipoint pairing, but it’s hard to complain given their current price and great ease of use.
