AirPods Pro on your shopping list? Now is the time to buy them

Digital Trends

Amazon Prime Day is over, and so are a lot of the biggest deals. But there are still a lot of deals to choose from if you’re looking to snag a bargain. One of the biggest bargains we’ve come across are for Apple’s AirPods Pro. We saw them drop to their lowest ever price on Prime Day, and it hasn’t dropped since. As a result, if you act quickly, you can still grab them at this best ever price.

Apple’s iconic earbuds are the true wireless headphones to buy if you want to complement your iPhone with some truly seamless tech. The AirPods Pro differ from the standard AirPods by adding a silicon tip to the buds (removing the old EarPods style the AirPods were saddled with) and the new addition of active noise cancelation (ANC). ANC can be used in two ways — either to shut out all noise outside of your buds, or to let in the surrounding noise, which means you can hear the bicycle bell behind you while you have your buds in.

The sound is exceptional, but the battery does suffer a little when compared to other true wireless buds on the market. You’ll get between 4.5 and 5 hours of listening time per charge, but the wireless charging case comes with an extra 24 hours of charge, which does go some way to removing battery anxiety. Siri is always available, and can be used to pause music or call contacts. Best of all, you don’t need an iPhone to take advantage of the AirPods Pro’s advanced features, and they will work with Android phones as well.

Is this worth picking up now? Absolutely. Apple’s AirPods Pro are a style statement for many, and the chance to pick some up for their lowest ever price is going to be a no brainer. But be quick to jump on this sale now, because stock is flying out fast and shipping dates are being pushed back as a result, so grab them fast if you want them in your hands before the holidays.

After some cheaper true wireless earbuds? There are plenty of other AirPods deals happening now.

As a longtime audio enthusiast, I know a thing or two about the wireless Bluetooth earbuds that've become popular in recent years. And while there are some good options out there at every price point, my personal recommendation is to stick with the most popular example of all: the .

Arguably the headset that popularized the form factor, Apple Airpods are a must-own accessory for any iPhone owner out there.

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.
