Alongside the ongoing $50 price drop on Apple’s flagship AirPods Pro 3, pre-orders are now live on the brand new AirPods 5 and higher-end AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case. Thus far we are yet to see any notable cash discounts, and Apple does not appear to be offering any trade-in options for the series 5 AirPods, but Best Buy is and you can knock up to 50% off when you flip your AirPods 4 for the new set.
Here’s how pricing shakes out as of right now across the current-generation AirPods:
- AirPods 5 $129
- AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case $149
- AirPods Pro 3 $199 (Reg. $249)
As you can see, the new AirPods 5 start at $129, this time with Active Noise Cancellation tech included, but if you want the on-stem touch controls and a wireless charging case you’ll need to drop $149. That is, however, only $50 less than the deal pricing on the higher-end AirPods Pro 3 right now – $50 is not insignificant, but it is very much something to keep in mind.
That said, if you are looking to score the AirPods 5, you can bring the price down by trading in your AirPods 4for the new set at Best Buy:
You can land the new AirPods 5 for as low as $64.
Best Buy will give you $50 for the base AirPods 4 and $65 back for the AirPods 4 with ANC. That brings the base AirPods 5 (that include ANC this year) down to as low as $64 and the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case down to as low as $84. These are the best prices/deals we have tracked for the new Apple buds yet.
