Apple AirPods for a record-low $69, plus more early Prime Day steals

These are the lowest-priced AirPods you can buy. Not just now — ever! That’s right: These have never dropped this low before, so you can take advantage of all of their great features while paying about half of what you normally would. 

These lightweight earbuds are renowned for their clear sound, deep bass and long battery life. Plus, their seamless integration and easy setup make them a top choice for Apple fans. 

We picked the AirPods Pro as the best wireless earbuds overall and for good reason: They combine truly excellent audio quality with impressive noise-canceling. The battery life is a major plus, too. But the biggest selling point? These are at an all-time low price right now — we’ve never seen them drop to this price before. 

“There’s simply no better option than Apple’s latest AirPods Pro,” says our Tech Editor Rick Broida, praising the earbuds for their ANC, battery life and “an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancelation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you.”

These third-generation buds combine some of the best features of the Pros with the affordability of the base AirPods. You get personalized spatial audio and improved sweat and water resistance (although the battery life is roughly the same), but now you get it for an all-time low price. That’s right: These didn’t even drop this low on Black Friday. 

Said one reviewer, “Perfect in every way. They are comfortable in the ear and block outside noise. They last about 4-5 hours after [being] fully charged. They are expensive but the quality is great.”

The AirPods Max are Apple’s only over-ear headphones, but they pack a whole lot of style into that package. Sure, they cost a pretty penny, but they’re currently marked down to the lowest price they’ve ever been. They have all the features you expect from AirPods, minus the potential discomfort of having a speaker in your ear. 

“Best headphones ever,” said one reviewer. “Recently had a root canal done, and didn’t hear a thing (my dentist said that was a first in his experience). They cancel the noise I don’t want to hear and provide superb sound for music I do want to hear.”

When’s the last time you misplaced something? I spent far too long looking for my wallet this morning. AirTags can take away that problem entirely, allowing you to track exactly where your items vanish to. Right now, these are available for their lowest price ever. This deal makes it about $19 per tracker. 

Over 108,000 five-star shoppers have relied on these quarter-sized gizmos to keep track of their stuff. “If the AirTag is within 30 feet, your iPhone will help you locate it via an onscreen arrow. If it’s outside of that range, Apple’s Find My network kicks in,” says Broida. “Any other iPhone that comes within range of your AirTag will help you pinpoint its location. That’s incredibly powerful … and kind of mind-blowing.”

If you really only need to track a single item (and you don’t see any plans to expand that tracking in the future), then buying a single AirTag — especially when it’s on sale — is the way to go. With its one-tap setup, this little doodad goes to work right away. 

This laptop is incredibly thin and light, which makes it perfect for anyone on the go. It has a lot of power despite its small size, and the discount is nothing to sneeze at, either — especially for a MacBook. 

“I am in love with this laptop,” said one reviewer. “[It’s] a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. … The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. … Would recommend completely!”

Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins but is available at a slightly discounted rate. You might not think that $100 off is much, but we’ve rarely seen this model drop lower than this. Now is a great time to buy — stock is limited, and this deal might end when the stock runs out. 

This iPad might be a few years old, but it offers one of the best value propositions of any tablet on the market. With this discount (which is only $20 more than the lowest price ever, by the way), you get a tablet that’s ideal for everything from working to playing, and for a bargain compared to the price of comparable tablets. 

If all-day battery life, compatibility with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio and incredibly fast connection speeds sound good to you, then you’ll want to take a look at this tenth-generation powerhouse of a tablet. 

Reviewers praise the 10th gen for its super-fast processing speed and stellar battery life (not to mention the sleek design). 

If price has held you back from picking up an Apple smartwatch, this discount on the Apple Watch SE might be just the push you need to click that buy button. It tracks everything from heart rate to how well you sleep and even includes crash detection. Cool, huh? This price is only $11 above the lowest we’ve ever seen. 

“I’ve had this watch for a couple of months and cannot say enough good things! It makes it easy to track workouts and heart rate. Very easy to set up and use, not to mention the battery lasts me two days! Don’t know how I lived without it! Also great for easily seeing my notifications when I’m working from home! Love being able to see work things while moving around my house,” said one five-star reviewer.

The Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the most advanced smartwatches you can buy today. This thing is loaded with accurate tracking technology — it can even do ECG scans! — among other cool features, like water resistance up to a certain depth. It’s good news for everyone then that it’s marked down so far for Prime Day.
