Every Apple aficionado knows that the tech company and entertainment giant rarely slashes prices. But over at Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, the normally $249 AirPods Pro 2 are now marked down to just $180 — a price you only see during Black Friday.

The second-generation AirPods are also on sale for $99 (regularly $129), one of the lowest prices since Cyber Monday. Meanwhile, the third-generation AirPods are now only $147, a 13 percent discount from the regular price of $169.

So what’s the difference between AirPods? Though the latest Bluetooth earbuds look strikingly similar to the former, the AirPods third-generation feature a new sound driver and support Adaptive EQ, resulting in better sound quality. Unlike the second-gen model, they’re now also resistant to sweat and water, so they’re great for workouts. And if you’re watching movies with Dolby Atmos, the AirPods 3 support spatial audio and head tracking for a seamless immersive audio experience.

The sweat- and water-resistant Apple AirPods Pro 2, meantime, offer active noise cancellation, adaptive EQ technology (which automatically tunes music according to the shape of your ear) and over 24 hours of battery life when they’re fully charged. Both earbuds are built with Apple’s speedy H1 chip, which makes them pair seamlessly with the rest of the company’s products. They also work with Android phones and other non-Apple devices via Bluetooth. And whether you’re using Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa, the AirPods play well with smart assistants, so you can use them to hear the news, time, weather and schedules.
