LIVE: The best Prime Day AirPods and headphones deals
Refresh
What even is ANC?
You may find this phrase dotted around when you’re looking for headphones – heck, you’ll even read it when you go through one of our headphone reviews. Confused? No worries, I’m here to help you out – ANC is the shortened term for noise canceling.
Noise-canceling is pretty great. It blocks the noise of the outside world with clever sound algorithms that use different frequencies in the music that you’re listening to (and a certain amount of added white noise). Told you it was clever. Want ANC? If you’re after AirPods, then you’ll be looking at the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods Max – the other models don’t feature ANC.
Powerbeats Pro $100 off
So these ones are still in the Apple camp, what with Dr. Dre no longer being quite as important in their naming or development. The Apple-owned Beats Powerbeats Pro (which is a lot of beats) are currently $100 off at Amazon, making the noise-canceling exercise buds loads cheaper than the AirPods Pro 2.
They share a chip with the previous generation AirPods Pro, and their noise canceling performance is excellent – and that hook keeps them in place when you’re lifting weights, cycling, and running. The water resistance keeps them safe when it rains, and they’re sweat resistant too so all your exercise gunk doesn’t break them.

AirPods 2: $40 off
Tammy here, iMore’s resident audiophile and headphone expert – let’s get started with the deals! I’ve been watching the deals all day, and so far one stands out above all the others:
The AirPods 2 are some of the best for the price in-ears you’ll find, and at the moment you’ll get them for a grand $40 off in this monster Prime Day deal. They’re at their lowest price of $89 at the moment, which is one not to be missed at all – get in there quick, while stock still lasts!
