Staples is still offering an incredible holiday deal on Apple AirPods. Discounts on Apple products are rare, and today we’re seeing the AirPods Pro dip below $200 at Staples. There are some amazing AirPods Deals as we step towards 2021, but right now, you can score $50 off 2nd generation AirPods Pro. They’re down to $199 from their original price of $249 — that’s a 20% discount. Get them before they’re gone.

Apple took a big step forward with AirPods Pro. While the basic AirPods managed to filter out some exterior noise, AirPods Pro have active noise cancellation. It blocks out everything, especially wind, which was problematic with the AirPods. But there’s a transparency mode, too. With barely a touch of your hand, you can determine your preferred level of outside noise you want to allow — be it meetings, conversations with friends, traffic — into your listening experience.

There’s excellent sound with the AirPods Pro. They arrive with interchangeable silicone ear tips that mold the earphones and their output directly into your ear’s canal. They also have Adaptive EQ, so that your music, podcasts, and calls will be customized automatically. And Apple has built three microphones into each pod — with one of these mics designed specifically to pick up your voice — so that they’re accurate and deft when it comes to calls. They’re shorter and more subtle than the standard AirPods, and they’ve added a vent system that can help release the annoying pressure that can build up in your ear from noise-canceling features. And of course, there’s support for Siri and built-in voice control for all your music and calls and volume.

Add to this, 5 hours of battery, backed up with the portable charging case which only requires juice once a day (it lasts up to 24 hours), and you’ve got the best noise-canceling earbuds money can buy.

There are bigger noise-canceling headphones out there — from Bose or Sony — but none more effective, or better, than the Apple AirPods Pro. You can browse these AirPods Deals, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than $50 off , right now at Staples, where the AirPods Pro are only $199, down from their regular price of $249.
