Add as a preferred source on Google

If you’ve recently grabbed one of these iPhone deals or iPad deals, then you’ll likely want to also grab yourself a pair of AirPods to pair them with. Apple AirPods can pair with any Bluetooth device even if you aren’t in the Apple ecosystem, and they often make for some of the best headphone deals in addition to some of the best Apple deals. Just about every AirPods model is seeing a discount right now, so we’ve done some heavy lifting and organized the best AirPods deals below. These are great deals to shop if you aren’t finding what you’re looking for in the current crop of Bose headphone deals, Beats headphone deals, or Samsung Galaxy Buds deals.

Apple AirPods 3 — $128 $169 24% off

New Apple AirPods 3 - Spatial Audio - Long Battery
Apple

The AirPods 3 are the most recent releases of Apple’s entry-level AirPods. They offer substantial upgrades over the AirPods 2 and make a happy medium between the AirPods 2 and the more premium AirPods Pro. The AirPods 3 have spatial audio with dynamic head tracking that makes movies and other content come to life by seemingly placing the sound all around you. An adaptive equalizer allows the headphones to automatically tune music to your ears, and a force sensor lets you easily control your entertainment, answer or end calls, and do even more. These AirPods can reach up to six hours of battery life on a single charge and up to 30 hours of total listening time with the included charging case.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) — $190 $249 24% off

Even the latest USB-C AirPods are able to get a sale in. Unless you peer at them closely, they’re quite similar to the old AirPods Pro 2, of course, but there are some fun changes. For example, they’ve added a bit of dust resistance and other audio features, enough so that our AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C review dubbed them the “AirPods Pro 2.5” (which definitely sounds better than the nine-word official title they carry now).

Apple AirPods Max — $480 $549 13% off

With the AirPods Max, not only has Apple made some of the best wireless headphones on the market, but we think they’re the most fun headphones ever. They’re available in a variety of colors and produce some of the best audio found in a pair of wireless headphones. They include active noise-cancelation and Spatial Audio, which makes them a great option for home theater goers, as the Spatial Audio technology creates an immersive experience by tracking your head relative to the audio source. This provides theater-like sound that surrounds you, and lifelike movie and sports experiences. The AirPods Max are incredibly comfortable, as they’re designed with a knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions. This helps them fit heads of numerous shapes and sizes. The AirPods Max work with any Bluetooth device, but are especially attractive for Apple users, as they can share audio with another set of AirPods, and can switch seamlessly between Apple devices.

The latest and greatest AirPods are the Apple AirPods 4, and they improve upon previous generations in a number of ways. They come with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio technologies, and both call quality and sound quality overall are improved. Adaptive Audio seamlessly blends ANC and Transparency mode so you can ensure you hear the world around you while you’re walking or block it out when you’re working. The redesigned case is another upgrade, as it’s smaller than ever and fits easily into most pockets.

An oldie but a goodie, the Apple AirPods 2 still work well and deliver excellent sound quality.

How we chose the best AirPods deals

Apple’s lineup of AirPods is popular among headphone shoppers, and it provides a range of options that covers both entry-level listeners and studio pros. Even so, there aren’t that many models in the lineup relatively speaking, and this makes it necessary to keep an eye on all of them when it comes to choosing the best AirPods deals. There are currently four AirPods models on the market and they’re all frequently discounted to various extents. This makes every AirPods model worth including when we talk about the best AirPods deals.

You can find a discount on every AirPods model going on pretty much all of the time, and we keep those prices updated here. The entry-level AirPods 2 are the cheapest AirPods on the market and they’re often made even cheaper with a deal. The newer AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2 are also regularly discounted, though it’s not often we find major discounts available. And Apple’s over-ear option, the AirPods Max, are the most expensive of the bunch, which makes them the best candidate for a major discount.

Like all deals, the larger the discount the more it stands out to us. We’re constantly monitoring the best AirPods deals out there, so check back regularly if you’re looking for the most savings you can find. And with each model seeing some sort of discount almost all of the time, you can’t go wrong grabbing some new AirPods whenever you may need them.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 takes aim at low-light video and fast action
The new model combines a 1-inch sensor, 4K slow motion, and updated controls in a compact body
Camera, Electronics, Video Camera

DJI has unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4 with a familiar goal, better video from a camera small enough to carry anywhere. The standout upgrade is a 1-inch CMOS sensor, which should help it hold onto more detail in dim scenes while also giving fast-moving footage a cleaner look.

DJI also says the Osmo Pocket 4 can shoot 4K video at up to 240fps, while adding 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log support. That gives solo shooters a stronger mix of slow motion, highlight control, and grading headroom without moving up to a much larger setup.

Wireless earbuds have already become the default wearable for a lot of people. This is why this new research feels more interesting than yet another smart glasses demo. Researchers at the University of Washington have developed VueBuds, a prototype system that adds tiny cameras to off-the-shelf wireless earbuds so users can ask an AI model about whatever is in front of them.

How does this work?
