Hurry! Apple AirPods Pro are on sale for only $220 right now

Add as a preferred source on Google
 

We’ve kept a lookout for good AirPods deals, and there have been quite a few good bargains lately. However, Apple’s AirPods Pro just came out late last year, so sales on that model are pretty rare. But with promo code JEZGSJ, you can take them home for only $220 for a limited time.

Typically, the AirPods Pro retail for $250. Buying from Google Shopping and using the above code, you can snag these for just $220, an additional $22 off the current sale price of $242. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen yet for the AirPods Pro, so we certainly recommend taking advantage of this deal.

Apple’s latest earbuds are a definite improvement over its predecessors. There is a marked improvement in sound quality, on par with the big names in the business like Bose and Sony. This came as a surprise to our reviewers, which given the lackluster sound of the original AirPods, the difference is all the more notable.

Another notable win for the AirPods Pro is its noise cancellation capabilities. Indeed, at this price for a pair of earbuds, you would expect some kind of noise cancellation capabilities. Again, Apple impresses with equal quality noise-canceling capabilities as Sony and Bose.

You can choose to allow none or all of the sounds from the outside in, and we found the latter to sound surprisingly natural. But where Apple rules the roost is in call quality, by far.

The AirPods Pro delivers what might be the best call sound quality of any earbuds we’ve tried yet. While there are some earbuds out there that perform very well, for the everyday person, these are the best by far.

Audio from our calls sounded clear, even in windy conditions. Our reviewer also talked as a bus passed by, and it was barely audible. Compare this to the WH-1000XM3, which we tested at the same time, and not only was the audio quality noticeably poorer, but louder sounds like that bus drowned out the caller’s audio.

All in all, you just can’t go wrong with the AirPods Pro, and especially at the price we’ve found. But act fast — this promo code (JEZGSJ) can expire at any time.

Your next song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

Your YouTube playlists can now become actual TV shows, but there’s a catch you need to know
YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Featuring a new dynamic driver, high passive noise isolation, and a stage-ready design, the IER-M500 targets live performers.
Sony IER-M500 Launched Featured in use by artists

Sony is officially back in the professional in-ear monitor (IEM) space. The company has announced the IER-M500, a new pair of stage-focused earphones designed for everyone from aspiring musicians to seasoned performers. Rather than chasing features like active noise cancellation or spatial audio for casual listening, the IER-M500 is built with one goal in mind: helping artists hear themselves clearly during live performances.

Built for the stage, not the daily commute
