Apple AirPods Cost $89 on October Prime Day

Amazon’s big deal days are in full swing, withdeals on everything from Pelotons to Android tablets to robot vacuum cleaners . For Apple fans, this is a great time to snag new headphones: AirPods 2nd generation are currently on sale for $89 , matching the lowest price they reached during this summer’s Prime Day sale.

It’s time to buy second-generation AirPods

The second-generation AirPods were released in 2019 and have rarely sold for much less. They don’t have all the same bells and whistles, but they’re significantly cheaper than the new USB-C AirPods Pro, which are also discounted during Prime Big Deal days, but will still cost you $189 on Amazon. If you wait until Black Friday, you might see last year’s all-time low of $79, but if you don’t want to wait until then to save $10, you’ll still get them at a great price.

AirPods 2nd generation automatically connect to your iPhone after initial setup and automatically pause when you take them out of your ears. You can ask Siri to read your messages and share songs with another pair of AirPods. The battery will last for five hours, depending on usage. The package also includes a charging case that will extend the battery life by one day. The headphones are sweat and water resistant and have an IPX4 rating.

These AirPods do not support the Spatial Audio technology offered by the 3rd generation AirPods and AirPods Pro. But the 2nd generation AirPods cost just over half the price and offer many of the same features, and if you lose them, it won’t hurt as much.
