Apple’s AirPods have lead the charge on bluetooth headphones and, nearly a decade after their debut, remain the most popular wireless option. While they’re a pricier option than other brands such as Bose and Sony, there are still Airpod deals to be found if, like us, you know where to look.

University students, parents of university students and those working in education should check out this excellent deal on Apple’s Education Store. Third-parties usually beat Apple on price, but at the moment, you can get 11 per cent off a new iPad, Mac or MacBook, plus a free pair of the AirPods 4.

Of course, we wouldn’t recommend spending hundreds on a brand new computer or tablet just because you’ll get a free pair of headphones, but if you’re in the market for some new tech anyway, it’s worth considering.

As with many tech products, you can make also make big savings by shopping refurbished, provided you shop at reputable retailers. For example, right now you can save almost £150 on refurbished AirPods Max on the Amazon Renewed store, compared to buying brand new.

Alternatively, a perk for buying brand new AirPods is that you can get a free three-month trial of Apple Music with your purchase (for new subscribers only), which would typically set you back £32.97 in total.
