Black Friday is over, but Cyber Monday deals are here to give you another shot at saving some cash if you missed out on certain offers. If you’ve been holding off on buying wireless earbuds because of the price, wait no further. From the ongoing Cyber Monday AirPods deals, you can grab the second-generation AirPods for only $79 at Amazon. That’s a 50% discount off their usual price of $159, but you need to hurry because similar deals are sold out. Don’t let the last major shopping event of the year pass without buying the wireless earbuds, to make sure that you get them before the holiday season.

Why you should buy AirPods 2

The original AirPods brought on a revolution in wireless headphones. Every audio company out there has a pair of AirPods knockoffs by now. The AirPods 2 aren’t the newest or the fanciest model of the breakthrough earbuds anymore — the AirPods 3 and the AirPods Pro 2 came out earlier this year — but they’re still solid earbuds that are well deserving of the hype. Their proudest feature is how convenient they are. They’re very small and completely wireless, so once you they’re in your ears you can basically forget about them. Even the charging experience is wireless thanks to the charging case. you can get about five hours of battery life from the AirPods on their own, but a total of 24 hours when you recharge them using the case. That means no more struggling to find an outlet when you’re on the go.

If you have an iPhone, getting AirPods are a no-brainer. They meld right into the Apple suite of products with the interconnectivity that Apple is known for. Pairing an iPhone with AirPods gives you some nice bonus features, like the ability to share a song between two sets of AirPods and having Siri read your text messages. The AirPods 2 have in-ear detection, so songs and videos will automatically pause when you take the buds out of your ears. And let’s not forget the most important thing about them: they sound great. They use Apple’s H1 chip to do their computing and sound processing, which keeps the treble bright and the bass punchy.

Right now you can grab the second-generation AirPods for only $79 at Amazon. That’s 50% off their full price of $159. Grab them while they’re still available. Cyber Monday might be your last chance this year for such a steep price cut.

The Beats Studio Buds in their charging case.

If you're looking to buy wireless earbuds but Prime Day AirPods deals aren't catching your interest, you may want to turn your attention towards the Beats Studio Buds. They were down to $100 earlier this year, but Amazon is selling them for an even more affordable price of $90 following a $60 discount on their original price of $150. Like most Prime Day deals, we're not sure if this offer will remain available once the shopping holiday ends, so if you want to make sure to get these wireless earbuds for this cheap, you need to process the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds are wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation that offer most of the features that you'll find in the Apple AirPods Pro, but at a significantly lower price. Their impressive ANC is capable of blocking out all external sound, but they also offer a Transparency mode that will let you hear what's going on around you without having to take the wireless earbuds out of your ears. This is incredibly helpful when you need to talk to someone, or when you need to cross a street, for example.

Apple AirPods Max are $100 off in Amazon’s weekend flash sale
A woman wears Apple AirPods Max.

We don't often see excellent deals on Apple products, especially its higher-end stuff like the AirPods Max. That's exactly why we're so happy to see this deal from Amazon that discounts the AirPods Max down to $450 from $549, a whopping $100 discount we rarely see.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
There's a lot to say about the Apple AirPods Max, the least of which is that they have excellent audio thanks to Apple's H1 audio chip, which each cup has. Having so many chips on there means you get some fancy features, such as spatial audio and industry-leading ANC. As for audio fidelity, it's very clear, although not as punchy as something like the Sony WH-1000XM4, which isn't to say it isn't as deep; it has excellent bass, but it doesn't have the same mid-range boost as the XM4. As for the treble range, it's similarly clear and sparkly without being too tinny sounding, which makes it easier when listening to brass instruments, so it's great if you're into jazz or classical music. One thing to note is that you might get different listening experiences depending on whether ANC is on or off, but that seems to vary significantly by person.
