Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe review — Zeke Jones / Digital Trends

The Apple AirPods Pro have consistently ranked as some of the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market. When we tested the latest Pro edition in March 2024, reviewer Simon Cohen said, “There’s simply no better option for anyone with Apple devices.”

As luck would have it, these wireless Apple buds are actually on sale this week: For a limited time, you’ll be able to score the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C for only $170 when you shop at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Usually, the AirPods Pro are $250, so you’ll be saving $80 if you buy right now.

Why you should buy the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C

The AirPods Pro 2 boast the ever-iconic white colorway that Apple has yet to part ways with. The buds themselves are IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, making them a decent choice for hitting the gym. The case supports both USB-C and wireless Qi charging, and the built-in speaker makes it easy to locate via chime when the Find My Network is used.

The AirPods Pro 2 deliver fantastic sound quality with plenty of midrange and treble articulation and a satisfying bit of extra oomph in the low end. This is great for multi-genre listening and podcasts. You’ll also be treated to some of the best ANC performance in town, as well as a great Transparency Mode for when you want to chit-chat without removing the AirPods.

On a full charge, the AirPods Pro 2 buds should last up to six hours, and just five minutes in the charging case should give you an extra hour of music.

Save $80 on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C when you purchase today. You should also take a look at our lists of the best AirPods Pro deals, best AirPods Max deals, and best AirPods deals.

Get the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning while they’re still $150 off

Apple AirPods Max.

Noise-canceling headphones and earbuds are one of the best ways to indulge in your favorite tunes while tuning out the outside world. We’ve had the opportunity to review many different noise-canceling audio wearables over the years and we often think fondly of our time spent with the original Apple AirPods Max. These puppies are still sold brand-new, but the $550 MSRP has acted as quite a deterrent for some time. But not today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning at Best Buy, you’ll only pay $400. We tested these headphones a few years ago and reviewer Caleb Denison said: “The AirPods Max are exquisitely crafted headphones, built for Apple lovers.”
