Deal Alert! Apple AirPods Are Back Down to $90 on Amazon, a Rock-Bottom Low
Black Friday is a week away, but we’re already hearing about not-to-be-missed deals, including a pair of AirPods for under $90.

As you likely remember, Apple created a stir when it stopped putting headphone jacks in its iPhones with the launch of the iPhone7 in 2016. People mourned the loss—however would we listen to music on runs, walks, and mass-transit commutes?
Enter the AirPods, the Bluetooth earbuds that allow people to do all of the above without unknotting tangled wires. Of course, unlike earbuds, which people could find in grocery store check-out lines at lower prices, AirPods are more of an investment. Typically, the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds with Lightning Charging Case Included are $159.99 on Amazon. But right now, you get them for $89.99, a 43% discount.
The AirPods give users who use the included charging case more than 24 hours of listening time and 18 hours of talk time, meaning you can use it for morning runs and afternoon calls without interruption. Using the same computer as a colleague for a Zoom call? Streaming something on your Apple TV with a friend but don’t want to wake the baby, puppy or neighbors? These AirPods don’t hog all the sweet sounds. It’s a cinch to share audio using another set of AirPods.
Other perks included easy access to Siri (Hint: Just say, ‘Hey Siri) and a straightforward set-up.
The AirPods have been tried and tested, and the reviews are rave. Nearly 540,000 previous buyers have given them 4.8 stars out of five stars, praising the sound quality and battery life.
Now, for some necessary fine print. These AirPods are a sweet deal, but only if you have the following:
iPhone 8 or later
iPod Touch (7th generation or later) with the latest version of iOS
12.9-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation or later)
11-inch iPad Pro
10.5-inch iPad Pro
iPad (5th generation or later)
iPad Air (5th generation or later)
iPad Air (3rd generation)
iPad mini (5th generation with the latest version of iPadOS)
It remains to be seen whether these AirPods or this deal will be around when Amazon Prime’s Early Access deal kicks off on Oct. 11. The two days of discounts are available to Prime members only, and the price drops are going down — literally — at midnight on Oct. 11.
Remember, always be sure to read reviews and ensure products are compatible with your devices, home, etc., no matter how sweet a deal looks,
