AirPods 2 Price Plummets Back to $80 in This Early Amazon Prime Day Deal

Apple's earbuds don't come cheap, so hunting out an AirPods deal is never a bad idea. Thankfully, Amazon has slashed the price of the already budget-friendly AirPods 2 down to just $80, a savings of $49 off the original $129 retail price. There are tons of budget earbuds on the market right now, but it's difficult to look beyond a pair of AirPods when you can pick them up at this low price.

This deal is a taste of what's to come as we get ready for the Amazon Prime Day sales that are just around the corner. We don't expect these earbuds to get much cheaper, if at all, so consider ordering your bargain AirPods now while you can.

The AirPods 2 sell for $129 at the Apple Store and go for closer to $100 at other retailers most of the year, so either way, this is a stellar deal on some of the most popular earbuds on the market.

And though these are a slightly older model, the AirPods 2 remain the best AirPods for folks on a tighter budget -- especially at this price. They have the same H1 chip found in the newer AirPods 3, so you get the same Siri hands-free experience and easy device-switching across your iPhone, Mac and iPad. You'll get up to 24 hours of playback time from a single charge from the included charging case, too.
