Why you should buy the AirPods Pro 2

The AirPods Pro 2 are as close to an audio no-brainer for Apple devotees as it gets. If you own an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, you’re going to want to buy these ANC buds! One reason why is the Apple H2 chip, which makes it super-easy to switch between multiple devices signed in with the same Apple ID. You’ll also be able to choose from various EQ presets in the iOS Settings app.

Designed for quick and easy connectivity, the AirPods Pro 2 deliver exceptional sound quality and some of the best ANC performance in the business. Say goodbye to the annoying hum of bus, train, and plane engines, HVAC systems, and even workplace chatter. You can also switch over to Transparency to filter in ambient sound. There’s even a Conversation Awareness feature that automatically pauses media and turns on Transparency when you start talking.

On a full charge, you can expect the AirPods Pro 2 to last up to six hours, with an extra 24 hours provided by a fully charged case (which supports both USB-C and wireless Qi charging). We were also pleased to learn that the AirPods Pro 2 are IP54 rated for dust and water resistance.

Purchase the AirPods Pro 2 before this Apple Sales Event comes to a close. We also recommend taking a look at our lists of the best Apple deals, best headphone deals, and top Best Buy deals for additional discounts on top tech!

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
