Our best AirPods prices roundup is here for one thing - to help you get your hands on the very best Apple AirPods deal available. Whether you're looking for the latest prices on the standard AirPods or the AirPods Pro, we've got you thoroughly covered in this article.
We've also added some excellent discounted prices for the new Apple AirPods with wireless charging case, which allow you do cut those cords even further. While these ones do cost a little more, we definitely think they're worth the investment.
While it was once rare to find AirPods sales in the US and UK, thanks to the product ranges eternal popularity, it's now becoming easier and easier to find some discounted prices. They do, however, sell out pretty quickly still, so we always recommend jumping on an AirPods deal if you're ready to commit.
Recently we've seen a whole range of discounts - including savings of up to $50 / £50, although these have indeed gone pretty quickly. Considering how premium Apple tech is, these AirPods prices have been pretty damn good in our books and these once heftily priced earbuds are now much more obtainable.
If you've picked up a modern iPhone that's dumped the traditional headphone jack, the Apple AirPods rank amongst the best earphones to pair with your new phone. Although, as they're Bluetooth, you can pair them with plenty of other mobile phones too and even laptops. If you're thinking of getting a new phone too, check out the latest offers below.
So, how much are AirPods and how can you get the best deal out there? Our price comparison tool automatically brings you the best savings from all your favourite retailers so you can shop the latest prices as soon as they hit the shelves. You're likely to find a range of savings in the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals events too.
The latest Apple AirPods Pro prices
The new Apple AirPods Pro headphones are finally here and we expect them to be one of the season's hottest items. The Apple AirPods Pro price starts at $249 / £249 / AU$399 and they are out now.
That's quite the jump in price compared to the regular AirPods, but the AirPods Pro are the first AirPods to include active noise-canceling technology to keep outside distractions away from your music which is excellent for those noisy commutes or keeping your concentration going at work. That being said, there is a mode you can activate which allows some outside noise to filter through, which is useful if you prefer being able to hear things like traffic when running/cycling/walking or someone calling your name in the office.
The AirPods Pro are also water and sweat resistant making them much better suited to the gym than the standard AirPods and they come with multiple tips so you can adjust to the best fit for you. The water resistance is IPX4 level so we're talking the odd splash and light rain rather than full-on immersion.
The new Apple AirPods Pro ship with a wireless charging case as standard. There is no cheaper version with a standard charging case, unlike the regular AirPods that give buyers the option of both.

How much are AirPods? The latest AirPods prices and deals
So, how much are AirPods and how can you get the cheapest price possible? Directly below you'll find the latest options to order the newest 2019 upgrade of the standard AirPods that were released in early last year. The new AirPods cost $159 / £159 / AU$249, which is the same launch price as the original ones - so we're a little surprised they didn't cost a bit more given the improvements.
Compared to the older model the visual design remains the same. But inside you get a faster H1 processor chip, 50% more talk time and hands-free Siri interactions. So seeing as the older models never really came down in price, the new 2019 AirPods are the best standard option to buy right now if the Pro's don't appeal. Look out for these features in the description, to make sure you're getting the newest versions. This model comes with the standard charging case, but we've found some deals for the wireless charging case model further down this page too.
Check out our full verdict on the 2019 model with our Apple AirPods review.
2019 AirPods with wireless charging case
The 2019 upgrade of the Apple AirPods are also available with a wireless charging case. They cost a bit more with prices starting at $199 / £199 / AU$319, but wireless charging is a super convenient feature. The actual AirPods themselves are the same as the ones we mentioned above, so the case is the only difference between the two.
Just pop the your AirPods into the snug charging case, close the lid and put it on a Qi-certified wireless charging pad (sold separately) and that's it. Apple cancelled the release of its own bespoke wireless charging pad, the Apple AirPower, which would have allowed for simultaneous charging of your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. But at least third-party pads are significantly cheaper than that one would have been.

What about the original 2016 Apple AirPods?
These models have been discontinued and phased out at most stores now. On the rare occasions that we do spot unused stock units, they're actually the same price as the new and improved 2019 versions.
Short version: get the 2019 models instead via one of the deals in the comparison chart above. To be sure they are the new ones, look out for H1 chip and hands-free Siri functionality in the description if the title doesn't say something along the lines of '2019' or 'latest/newest version'.
How much are AirPods?
The official AirPods' price is $159 in the US and £159 in the UK and $249 in Australia. So you shouldn't pay any more. Although, we have seen some stores cheekily push the price up when stock thins out. If you're looking for the version with the wireless charging case, then prices shoot up to around $199 in the US and £199 in the UK.
Expect the usual outlets to charge closer to the MSRP and, better yet, potentially dip below it around the key shopping seasons. Fingers crossed we don't have to wait long for some proper Apple AirPod sales though!
As an alternative, there are lots of wireless earphone and headphone deals in our Beats headphone deals page and other brands are covered in our wireless headphone deals page.
Should I wait for a cheaper AirPods deal?
You might be waiting a while for seriously big discounts. Last year around Black Friday, we were seeing $20 discounts selling out in minutes, and it was one of the most popular deals we highlighted in our extensive roundups of the hottest offers. We saw similar discounts in the UK too - much better than last year's $7 discount but still no flash sales around right now.
Things have actually been better overall this year though with much better deals available in various regions. We're regularly seeing discounts of $15/£20 outside of peak seasonal discounts, so you should be able to beat the recommended asking price to be honest.
