- AirPods Pro 3 are now $179 on Amazon, down $70 from $249, and AirPods Max 2 fell to $499, $40 less than their usual $549 list price. Nintendo’s Switch 2 is $15 cheaper on Woot with code NEW15, bringing the console to $434.
The cuts are unusual because Apple’s earbuds typically hold price steady until a new generation arrives, and Nintendo rarely discounts a fresh‑release console. The Switch 2 discount is especially notable as the company announced a $50 price increase slated for September, making this brief dip the only chance for a lower entry price this year.
For budget‑aware shoppers, the timing lines up with a broader summer lull where retailers trim margins to clear inventory before the fall buying season. The deals also hint that both firms are clearing stock ahead of upcoming product refreshes.
Expect any further discounts to vanish once the new models roll out later this year.
