Amazon has kicked off another sitewide sales event this week. The Amazon Spring Sale, as this one is called, is aimed at apparel and outdoor goods more than electronics, but we’ve tried to cut through the noise and pull out a few actually decent tech deals anyway.
If you’re specifically looking for grab a new Apple device, good news: A handful of AirPods, iPads, Apple Watches and Beats headphones are at or near their lowest prices to date. Many of these discounts aren’t explicitly tied to the sale, but if you’re just trying to save some cash, that shouldn’t matter much. We’ve rounded up the best Spring Sale Apple deals we could find below. Amazon says the event will run through March 31, so we’ll update this post if prices change and other deals pop up.

The ANC isn’t as effective as what you can get with a pair that fully seals off the ear canal, but it makes the earbuds a little more useful in noisy environments all the same. We gave the device a score of 86 in our review. This discount is $11 higher than the best price we’ve seen, but it’s about as low as the earbuds have fallen outside of that.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $170 ($79 off): The AirPods Pro 2 remain Apple’s best set of wireless earbuds, as they offer the full set of Apple-focused features, strong ANC, onboard volume controls, a (generally) comfy…
