Buying a new pair of wireless headphones can make you feel a bit like Goldilocks – with so many styles, sizes, and prices to choose from, finding something that works well can be difficult. Prime Day, Amazon’s annual offer extravaganza, doesn’t make the search easy: after scrolling through an overwhelming amount of offers, you may find it too easy to settle for the first recognizable headphones you see.
Among the most distinguishable options are Apple’s AirPods, and you can currently grab third-generation pods for about $ 140, a solid price, though not exceptional. You can also find the AirPods Pro for between $ 170 and $ 180, depending on the retailer; which matches the sale prices we saw in 2022, but is still around $ 10 more than the all-time lows. Our experts think you can do better than AirPods, anyway. Here’s why and what we think you should get if you’re looking for a good deal.
