Amazon Prime Day ‘Zombie’ deals see Apple AirPods prices slashed by 30% after sales event ends – with $150 off top model

AMAZON is still selling discounted Apple AirPods at ultra-low prices – even though Prime Day sales are over.

The Amazon Prime Day event took place on July 16-17 and saw tempting deals on thousands of items, including Apple wireless earbuds.

But two of the most popular AirPods are still discounted even though the sale is over — like “zombie” deals that just won’t die.

In fact, both hit their lowest prices ever, according to Amazon product trackers.

The first is the third-generation Apple AirPods model, which is down from $169 to $119.99.

It’s a 29% discount that drops the price by $49.01 – no small amount.

These AirPods have a more compact earbud design and offer personalized spatial audio (which even tracks your head position).

They are sweat and water resistant and come with a charging case that offers 30 hours of total listening time.

Built-in microphones enable calling, as well as support for “Hey Siri” voice commands.

And the earbuds have force sensors that you can press to answer or end calls, mute or skip music tracks.

They get a high score of 4.3/5 based on 554 reviews on Amazon.

About 71% of these were five-star ratings, with four-star ratings accounting for a further 8% of total reviews.

One verified buyer who gave it five stars said: “Definitely an experience. Since I didn’t have any before, they started out a little uncomfortable!

“Well balanced sound. The feeling of taking one out of your ear and the audio pausing is such a forgotten touch.
