Should I buy AirPod headphones this year, or as a holiday gift for you? I have good news for you: all three of Apple’s signature flavors of true wireless headphones we’ve ever seen are at or near the lowest prices. But let’s back up a bit: if you go to the Apple Plus store, you can pay $ 159 for standard airpods, 199 199 for airpods with wireless charging cases, and $ 249. Airpods Pro With good sound quality and active sound cancellation. But with crowds of large retailers starting their Black Friday sales early, we are now seeing deals that normally get or beat the discounts we received last month during Prime Day.

The AirPods Pro is below the 194D down lare on Amazon, matching the new low in staples – within the-4 of the all-time loan on Woot. Standard AirPods, meanwhile, are now priced at just $ 99 on Amazon, Costco and Walmart, and other retailers seem to be matching those prices. (Best Buy price was also briefly $ 100, but for now it has been changed to for 1 back0.)
Now, we can’t guarantee that you’ll see better prices now and at the end of the year. But the moral of the story is that you don’t have to pay the full price for any Apple Pull headphones right now – the full Pull store price.
