AirPods Pro 2 deals
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
These flagship AirPods Pro 2 earbuds are the cream of the crop, earning Apple its first five-star review for in-ear models. Powered by the H2 chip, these bad boys deliver improved noise-cancelling, terrific sound quality, and a slew of user-friendly features.
Battery life has increased to six hours in the earbuds, with 24 extra hours from the charging case, which now sports a built-in speaker for finding lost buds. A fourth XS ear tip guarantees a snug fit, and a new "Adaptive" Transparency Mode smooths out loud, harsh noises.
With the iOS 17 update, you'll get nifty new features like Adaptive Audio and Conversation Mode. But it's the incredible sound quality that takes center stage. With its weighty, detailed, open sound and dynamic subtlety, these earbuds truly shine. For iOS users, they might just be the last wireless earbuds you'll ever need.
Do note that Apple switched the charging case from Lightning to USB-C in 2023 and upped the price to £229 in the UK. Make sure you choose the right case when buying online!

AirPods 4 deals
Apple AirPods 4 with ANC
The AirPods 4 are the newest standard AirPods, boasting an open design without ear tips and a sleek new look that fits comfortably to the contours of your ears. Light at just 4.3g each, these buds are easy on the ears—though keep in mind that some may still struggle with the fit.
The AirPods 4 come in two variants: one with active noise-cancelling for £179 and one without for £129. The ANC model includes a wireless charging case and a small built-in speaker for finding lost buds. Both models feature USB-C charging.
We were surprised by how well open-design noise cancelling works in the ANC AirPods 4. They target low-level noises like traffic and engine hums effectively, ensuring you can still enjoy your music without being overwhelmed by background noise.
While some noise still seeps through, it does a solid job of keeping droning noises at bay. Pro 2 features like adaptive audio, conversation mode, and personalized volume are also included in the ANC model.
Battery life remains at 30 hours in total with the charging case, a bit behind the competition, but sonically, the AirPods 4 with ANC deliver a balanced, clear, and detailed sound that's a joy to listen to—particularly when it comes to voices.

AirPods 3 deals
Apple AirPods 3
The third-gen AirPods got a step closer to the Pro model with a smart redesign, featuring shorter stems and support for spatial audio. Battery life is a strong 30 hours with the charging case, while the sound is balanced, clear, and detailed.
The AirPods 3 lack active noise cancelling, but they're a worthy all-round option for Apple device owners. Just remember there are two case options: one with a wireless charging case and another with a Lightning connector wired case.
The arrival of the new AirPods 4 means that the AirPods 3 are on their way out, so you'll likely find some great deals as retailers offload their stock. Weighing the pros and cons of the AirPods 3 versus the AirPods 4 will help you determine if you should upgrade or take advantage of the cheaper prices on the old AirPods 3.

AirPods Max deals
Apple AirPods Max
In 2020, Apple finally entered the world of over-ear headphones with the AirPods Max. While they may be large and pricey, these headphones are impressive with their exceptional build quality, superb noise-cancelling, and overall excellent sound.
The AirPods Max earned a five-star review and a 2021 our website Award. They work best with iOS devices, particularly excelling at cinematic spatial audio and Siri voice control. If you're an Android user, consider worthy alternatives like the Focal Bathys, Sony WH-10000XM5, or Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones.
While discounts on the AirPods Max weren't always plentiful, that's changing as the Max ages, and a new 2024 update featuring USB-C charging and new finishes is now available. Reminder: whichever charging option you choose, you'll get the same audio quality.
