Get the 3rd-gen Apple AirPods for $120
Apple AirPods 3rd-gen
The base AirPods are for those who want all the functionality without the higher price tag. As such, you get less sound isolation and more basic sound quality. That said, these are still great earbuds, especially if you can find them at just $120, thanks to Amazon Prime Day. The 3rd-generation AirPods come with an H1 chip, an IPX4 rating, adaptive EQ, spatial audio support, and a great MagSafe case with wireless charging.
Like all other AirPods, you will enjoy features like auto-pausing when taking off the earbuds, or switching between Apple devices seamlessly. And battery life is pretty nice at over six hours, based on our internal testing. Learn more about these in our full Apple AirPods 3rd-gen review.
Apple AirPods Pro 2nd-gen
If you can afford a bit more on the Apple AirPods Pro, you’ll be rewarded with better sound isolation, thanks to the more sealed tip fit. You’ll also get active noise canceling, which has been improved thanks to the H2 chip. We also loved the adaptive transparency modes, as we mentioned in our AirPods Pro 2nd-gen review.
Of course, you also get a wireless charging case. Battery life is also pretty good, albeit a little worse than the base AirPods. We managed to get five hours and 43 minutes out of a single charge, based on our testing.
Apple AirPods Max
These are obviously the biggest, meanest, most capable AirPods. The Apple AirPods Max come with a gorgeous design and solid build quality. The active noise canceling is impressive, and competes only with the best ANC headphones out there. This headset is very comfortable, too. Not to mention, the sound quality is great, with no distortion to be heard.
While Apple claims these should last 20 hours on a single charge, the headphones surpassed these expectations in our internal tests. We got them to last closer to 21 hours! Our only main complaint with these is the price, but at $400, the price is a bit less painful. They are definitely worth it if you can afford it and use Apple products, though.
