Just because Prime Day is over doesn’t mean the deals have to stop. In a flash sale, Amazon has slashed the price of the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 true wireless earbuds from $90 to $70. The wireless headphones are longtime rivals of Apple’s popular AirPods — but right now they’re available at a much cheaper price. In other words, you could save a whole $20 on what are considered some of the best true wireless earbuds on the market right now. With pristine sound quality and top-of-the-line features, these headphones are undoubtedly worth far more than this discounted price, so be sure to hop on the deal now before the flash sale expires.

The Liberty Air 2 earbuds offer excellent and versatile sound quality for businesspeople on the move. Or, these days, businesspeople in their home offices. Each earbud comes equipped with two microphones and cVc 8.0 noise reduction technology, which reduce environmental noise by 60% while still allowing for 95% of your voice to be retained on calls. Plus, music is reproduced with a 15% larger frequency bandwidth for clear treble and 2x more bass, which can help make any workout better. They even allow you to customize your own EQ settings to tailor the earbuds to your ears and optimize the listening experience. Basically, these headphones have fantastic sound quality for every and any need: work meetings in your home office, while out running errands, and even exercising at the gym.

What’s more: the Liberty Air 2 earbuds can keep up with your busiest days. The wireless charging case includes up to 28 hours of playtime, with a single charge of the earbuds resulting in a full 7 hours of listening. Their sleek and compact charging case is also perfectly portable and reassuringly durable, easily slipped into any pockets or bags without having to think twice. The earbuds’ one-step pairing and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity make listening on-the-go even simpler, offering a fast, strong, and reliable connection no matter where you are.

Any pair of $90 wireless earbuds priced at $70 offers a worthwhile deal — but this Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 discount is especially noteworthy. Their portability, fantastic and versatile listening experience, simple setup, and reliable Bluetooth connectivity put them on par with — if not superior to — Apple’s coveted AirPods. This is one deal you’ll definitely want to take advantage of before it’s too late.

AirPods Pro 2 haven’t gone back to full price since Prime Day

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe are originally priced at $249, but they've been available with a discount from Amazon since Prime Day in July. They're on sale right now at $190, which isn't as cheap as from the AirPods deals of the shopping event when they were going for $169, but the $59 discount is still a pretty nice score for these premium wireless earbuds. However, the longer this trend goes on, the higher the chance that the streak ends and they go back to their regular price. If you want to take advantage of the savings, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe
The lowered price of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe likely remains because of the launch of the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, which brought active noise cancellation to the entry-level AirPods. The feature was previously only available in the AirPods Pro line. However, because the Apple AirPods Pro 2 come with silicone eartips, they do a superior job at preventing you from hearing unwanted noise. Both models of wireless earbuds offer USB-C charging, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature a force sensor that translates swipes into volume adjustments, and overall better sound quality for listening to music and taking calls.

Now's a fantastic time to buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, as the wireless earbuds are on sale at $59 off from Amazon in its early Prime Big Deal Days. From their original price of $249, they're down to a more affordable $190 in an offer that may no longer be available when the shopping event starts on Oct. 8. If you want to take advantage of this 24% discount, you're going to have to be quick because their price may go back to normal at any moment.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C
The recently announced Apple AirPods 4 is getting a lot of attention as the first model in the series to offer active noise cancellation, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C is still our recommendation for Apple fans in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds. Compared to the Apple AirPods 4, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C feature eartips that really seal in the sound, which makes their ANC more effective. They're also more comfortable to wear, so you'll be able to maximize their battery life of up to six hours with ANC enabled, and up to 30 hours with their charging case.
