Like Marmite, Apple’s ubiquitous AirPods split opinions. But whether you reckon they’re slick, stylish and discreet or think they resemble earrings, there’s no denying that Amazon’s £30 price slash on the latest generation AirPods 2 is a fantastic deal.
The retail giant is offering festive shoppers a 19% discount on the Bluetooth earbuds, bringing them down from £159 to just £129. That means savings of a round £30 – to be spent on stocking fillers or a cheeseboard for the ages come Christmas.

What’s more, a quick consultation with trusty price comparison tool CamelCamelCamel tells us this is the cheapest the AirPods 2 have EVER shifted for on Amazon. Given they only launched in March of this year, that’s quite the price plummet.
The AirPods come equipped with a compact wireless charging case – eminently useful – and are powered by the latest Apple H1 headphone chip, bringing you the ultimate in crisp hands-free sound.

We were impressed by the earbuds when they launched back in March – and remain so now. In particular, being able to summon everyone’s favourite virtual assistant with a simple “Hey Siri” is great, letting you hear the weather, football score or whatever tidbit of information your heart desires on a whim. All delivered directly down your ear canals.
