The best deals on Apple AirPods to shop in May 2021

It seems like no matter where you look, people are wearing Apple AirPods and if they’re not, the earbuds are most likely on their wish list.

Especially during the pandemic, AirPods seem to be apart of so many people’s uniforms, whether they’re on a Zoom call in their home office or going for a run in their neighborhood.

Whatever they’re using them for, just about everyone seems to want them.

They’re small, sleek, connect easily to all devices using Bluetooth and the charge lasts for what seems like an endless amount of time — so what’s not to love? The price tag.

Although many users only have great things to say about the popular wireless earbuds, many can’t bring themselves to shell out more than $100 (plus tax, depending on the generation you’re interested in) for the listening pleasure they provide.

So in an effort to help you up your audio game (on a budget!), we found the best Apple AirPod deals on the market right now.

Apple AirPods Deals, original price: $159

The Apple AirPods are automatically on and always connected to your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac. They can sense when they’re in your ears and pause when you take them out. You can simply adjust the volume, change a song, make a call or even ask for directions by saying “Hey Siri.”

These AirPods give up to five hours of listening time and three hours of talk time on a single charge but the charging case holds more than 24 hours of listening time. Even if you forget to charge them, it only takes 15 minutes in the case to get up three hours of listening time.

The OG AirPods with the charging case (wired) are available at Amazon, Walmart and Staples for $129 and Best Buy for $130.

Apple AirPods With Wireless Charging Case Deals, original price: $199

The AirPods with the wireless charging case have all the same features and capabilities as the ones with a wired case. However, this model gives the option to charge the earbuds with a Qi-compatible charging mat instead — but it’s just going to cost you a few more bucks!

Discounted AirPods with the wireless charging case are available at Amazon and Walmart for $150 and Best Buy for $160.

Apple AirPods Pro Deals, original price: $249

The most recent Apple AirPod Pros have up to 4.5 hours of listening time on one charge and over 24 hours of battery life using the charging case, making them ideal to travel with and use on the go. They’re also noise-canceling and have a transparency mode option if you’re using them outside and want to let sounds come through while you’re working from home or out and about. Plus, they’re water and sweat-resistant.

Right now Walmart and Amazon are discounting the Apple AirPods Pros to $197. Best Buy has also discounted them to $200 and B&H Photo Video has the highest deal for $220.

If you’re looking for an even better deal, you can get a pair of (Geek Squad-certified) refurbished AirPod Pros for $180 from Best Buy. And if you’re interested in AppleCare+ protection for your new earbuds, B&H Photo Video is offering a great deal for $278.
