With the updates for additional gestures that were revealed at WWDC 2024, Apple’s AirPods are even more helpful. Whether you’re going for wireless earbuds with the AirPods or the AirPods Pro with active noise cancellation, or for wireless headphones with the AirPods Max, you’ll enjoy extremely easy pairing with iPhones and excellent audio quality. You’re going to have to hurry if there’s an offer from the AirPods Prime Day deals we’ve rounded up below that interests you though, as there’s no assurance that it will still be available after a few hours.

Best refurbished AirPods Prime Day deals

If the discounts of Prime Day still don’t bring the AirPods that you want to buy within your budget, you may want to consider going for refurbished AirPods Prime Day deals. These wireless earbuds and headphones may not be brand new, and they may exhibit slight signs of wear and tear, but they’re guaranteed to still work properly. More importantly, however, is that you can get them for an even lower price than usual. Stocks for refurbished AirPods are extremely limited though, so don’t waste time in choosing which one to buy.

How to choose AirPods on Prime Day

There are currently three lines for Apple’s AirPods — the AirPods, the AirPods Pro, and the AirPods Max. The model that you choose to purchase will largely depend on your budget and how you’re planning to use them, as the AirPods are built differently from each other.

The third-generation AirPods is the latest version of the base model of Apple’s wireless earbuds. It’s got everything that you can expect from the AirPods — easy pairing with an iPhone, IPX4 water resistance, and access to head-tracking spatial audio, among other features. This AirPods 3 is the least expensive model among the current-generation models, so it’s the one that you want to buy if you want to stick to a tight budget.

If you want active noise cancellation with your wireless earbuds, we highly recommend the second-generation AirPods Pro with USB-C and MagSafe. This is the newest version of the noise-canceling wireless earbuds, and it replaces Apple’s Lightning port with a USB-C port for wider compatibility. If you want to stay focused on whatever you’re watching or listening to, you’re going to want to have the AirPods Pro in your ears.

For audio professionals, as well as those who prefer wireless headphones over wireless earbuds, there’s the AirPods Max. With excellent build quality, amazing sound quality, and impressive call quality, these wireless headphones prove that they’re worth their price. They also offer fantastic active noise cancellation, and they’re very stylish when you wear them with their premium materials and construction.

For most people, the budget is the primary factor in deciding which of these AirPods to buy, and if that’s also the case for you, we recommend setting the maximum price that you’re willing to pay for your purchase from AirPods Prime Day deals. If you’re set on a particular model but it’s beyond your budget, you can consider going for a previous-generation release or a refurbished version for a larger discount.

How we chose these AirPods Prime Day deals

Unfortunately, there have been imitations of Apple’s AirPods floating around online. They may look legitimate, but they won’t live up to the high standards of Apple products. To help you avoid them, we gathered the AirPods Prime Day deals that we recommended from trusted sources. The good news is that Amazon isn’t the only retailer with discounts for Prime Day, as rivals such as Best Buy and Walmart have also slashed prices to keep up with the shopping event.

With all of the models of the AirPods and the several trusted sources with discounts, it may be tricky to keep up with their prices, and where they are at their cheapest. Don’t worry though, as we’re going all the hard work for you — we’re going to make sure that our list above only has the lowest prices for these AirPods. We’ll keep updating it as often as possible, so if you want to get the best bargain for the AirPods that you’re planning to buy, we recommend placing a bookmark on this page.

Tequila for your next cigar pairing. Cazcanes has the complementary lineup
Cazcanes Bottles Core7s

It’s true that cigars are often paired with whiskey. But it’s also true that it’s not mandatory. If you frequent this space for tips on cigars, you’ll recall that yours truly prefers pairing cigars with coffee and Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper over whiskey and Scotch. That’s just a personal preference. There’s truly no right or wrong way to pair your cigars. Recently, I was offered the chance to pair a cigar with Isle of Skye Whisky’s new Cigar Reserve. I was initially skeptical because whiskey often overpowers my palate. For that tasting, I opted for Altura’s Third Harvest Lancero, and the experience was mind-altering, for the better.

Tequila can offer a similar experience. I had the pleasure of visiting the Cazcanes distillery earlier this year in Amatitán, an hour outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco. I rarely pair cigars with tequila, but when the folks at Cazcanes reached out about their cigar pairing experience, I was intrigued because their tequila lineup is outstanding. Earlier this year, for example, Cazcanes’ Nuestras Raíces earned a perfect 100 score from Wine Enthusiast. It marked the first time the influential drinks magazine awarded a spirit a perfect score in its 46-year history. I was reminded of the exquisite taste late last month after visiting Cazcanes’ booth at the 11th annual Barra México in Mexico City, the biggest cocktail event in Latin America.

The Manual Library: Improvement books every man should read
Furniture, Adult, Male

Men have been thought leaders since the beginning of time. Aristotle’s logic and ethics, Confucius’s social harmony and duty, Machiavelli’s statecraft and political power, Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance and civil rights, Newton’s physics and mathematics- men have been at the forefront of thought at every turn. So why don’t men read more? Sometimes it feels like we have abandoned our place in society’s thought processes. When I ask men around me how much they have read or what they have read recently, I am almost always met with a sheepish look, saying they don’t read, or they mostly read sports columns. Now, there is nothing wrong with reading a sports column. Hell, I love arguing with a baseball writer year-round. But, sometimes, when you read something, you should be staring thoughtfully upward or outward while reflecting inward, wondering how to apply it to your life. That is why I started thinking about what books I would recommend to my friends. Many of them have no idea what the best improvement books are for men. Where they should start. What is worth reading and what is a bunch of bullsh*t.

So I put together a list of books that will change your life, as long as you stare outwardly or upwardly while reflecting inwardly.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Cigar Club Miami
cigar lounge

There are no shortages of cigar lounges in Miami. There’s a particular cigar lounge I’ve frequented in Miami where I constantly run into NFL legend and Hall of Famer Ed Reed. But then I found Cigar Club Miami. It’s the place you want to be if you’re looking for an elevated experience. For my money, it’s also your best option in downtown Miami. Elad Smadja opened the joint in January 2023. The objective was simple: give the downtown area a modern cigar lounge offering a premium cigar selection and craft cocktails. He more than delivered.

From the onset, the moody exterior prepares you for what you’re about to walk into. You’re immediately greeted with warm lighting and modern luxury throughout, from the leather barstools and Carrara marble bar top to comfortable suede chairs. The lounge features a wall humidor stocked with some of the finest cigars. The bar is also fully stocked. If you find yourself there during happy hour, peruse the healthy selection of aged whiskeys.
