Update 11/12: Amazon is selling the AirPods for $89 as well. They will be in stock soon and Amazon is taking order.
AirPods aren't exactly known for being cheap, but today's deal is a downright bargain-bin steal: Walmart is selling the 2nd-generation AirPods with the wired charging case for $89, knocking $40 off the MSRP. Amazon is selling the AirPods for the same price. Even though Apple recently cut the price of the 2nd-gen model from $159 to $129, this is still an excellent deal and and a new all-time low.
The 2nd-generation AirPods don't have Apple's newest design or features, but they're still a solid pair of earbuds. You're getting hands-free Hey Siri support and faster syncing thanks to Apple's H1 chip, and of course the iconic AirPods design. The stems are a little longer than the newer third-gen model, but they're still incredibly light.
In our 4.5-star review, we called the 2nd-generation AirPods the best true wireless earbuds around, and at nearly $100 less than the 3rd-generation model, they're a bargain too.
