Where AirPods are cheapest
Older generations and refurbished or open-box units are where the genuine savings are. A refurbished pair from a reputable seller can be a large discount on a new pair with little practical downside. Decide whether you need the latest generation - if not, a prior-gen or refurbished pair saves the most.
What to watch for
AirPods are among the most-counterfeited products online, and fakes can look convincing. Check the serial number on Apple's site if possible, buy from sellers with strong feedback, and be wary of a "new sealed" pair priced far below everyone else - that's the classic clone giveaway.
