We're huge fans ofApple's AirPods Pro 2, and we know that we aren't alone. They are some of thebest wireless earbudsyou can buy, but they come with a price to match. They'd normally retail for around $249, which is definitely a lot of cash, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to pay that much. In fact, Amazon has cut the cost,slashing the price to just $170-- the lowest price that we've seen all year.
If you want to get a feel for just how good that deal is, you can now get AirPods Pro 2 for less than Amazon's Big Spring Sale that ran a few weeks ago. In fact, they're being sold for less than you'd normally pay for Apple's AirPods 4 with ANC -- although you can get those at a discounted $149 today, too. We'd suggest going the AirPods Pro 2 route if you can splash the extra $20, though.
The AirPods Pro 2 come with a MagSafe (and USB-C) charging case, four silicone ear tips ranging from extra small to large, as well as a USB-C cable. Powered by Apple's H2 chip, the earbuds deliver immersive sound and active noise cancellation that removes up to two times the background noise. With this enabled, the battery can last up to 6 hours by itself or 30 hours with the charging case.
