Amazon Prime Day<\/a> is less than one week away, but there are plenty of sales you can already shop. One of the best early Prime Day deals<\/a> currently running is a big discount on Apple’s third-generation AirPods<\/a>. The earbuds are on sale for a new record low of $129, down from $169. However, this deal doesn’t include AppleCare+ \u2014 you’ll have to pay about $30 extra for that.<\/p>\n Apple’s third-gen AirPods came out in 2021 as a massive improvement to their predecessor. We gave them an 88 in our review<\/a> thanks to features like a more comfortable design and way better audio quality. A lot of this comes down to their shorter, more contoured shape \u2014 the improved design also allows sound to more directly enter your ear.<\/p>\n Apple<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The AirPods and their case have IPX4 sweat and water resistance so you can more comfortably use them while doing activities like exercise. Plus, they offer always-on Siri and six hours of battery life (30 hours total with the case).<\/p>\n If you’re just looking for relatively cheap, solid earbuds then check out the 47 percent discount on Apple’s second-generation AirPods<\/a>. They’re currently down to $69 from $120 when not opting for AppleCare+. They offer five hours of continual battery or 24 hours with the case.<\/p>\n Your Prime Day Shopping Guide<\/em><\/strong>: See all of our<\/em> Prime Day<\/em><\/a> coverage.
