That fall foliage hike can wait: Apple AirPods are just $90 for October Prime Day!
There are so many reasons to love October Prime Day (aka Amazon Prime Early Access Sale), but one of the best is it's given us a jaw-dropping (and very, very rare) deal on Apple AirPods. Right now, with inflation on the rise and holiday shopping starting earlier than ever, you should take advantage of this deal and snag them ahead of the holiday shopping frenzy. For a limited time, Amazon has the second-generation Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case for just $90. That's $69 off the regular price and one of the biggest discounts on record. Fair warning: At such a low price, they’re likely to sell out quickly and there’s no telling how long this sale will last.
Just a reminder: You need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of PEAS deals. Here's how you can sign up for a free trial, which also gives you complimentary shipping. See all of our Prime Early Access Sale coverage here and shop the early Prime Day deals here.
Ease of use and premium audio
These Apple AirPods seamlessly pair and sync with iPhones, iPads, Macbooks, iMac desktops and the Apple TV streaming box.
Once juiced, your Pods are good to go — no scrolling, no fiddling with settings. They’re even ready to pair with all your Apple devices via your Apple iCloud account. That’s what sets these buds apart. Well, that plus crystal clear audio and a super sleek design.
And you can expect a whopping five hours of battery life per charge.
“After spending a few days with these, I see why everyone got them,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “They know when they are in or out of your ear and turn on and off. The wireless charging case always is amazing. I don't have to make sure I have a power bank or cords with me. It will just charge. The sound is great and speaking is clear.”
All wireless
How does the wireless charging case work? Just place the case on just about any Qi-wireless charging pad or stand (not included) for a full charge. And don’t worry if you run out of juice while away from home — just pop these babies back into their case for 15 minutes and you’ll get up to three more hours of battery life.
You still get the option to plug the case into a wall outlet or laptop for a charge via a lightning plug, too. So really, these Apple AirPods feature the best of both worlds when it comes to getting juiced.
“What is there not to LOVE? Great sound, sleek design and an amazing wireless charger that keeps you going throughout the day. I'm over the moon with the seamless integration between all my Apple devices including my Apple Watch,” shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. “Get ready to rediscover your music collection all over again."
