AirPods and headphone deals

There are some good deals to be had on Apple's ever-popular headphones, including the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods Max, Apple's famous over-ear headphones. These aren't the only AirPods Prime Day deals, and they also aren't the only Prime Day headphone deals around.

We loved the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 so much we gave them our award for best in-ear headphones last year, so that's a discount well worth a second look, while Android users will find lots to like in the now even more affordable Google Pixel Buds A-Series.
