They might be nearly three years old at this point, but AppleΓÇÖs second-
generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds
around for a reason, and right now theyΓÇÖre down to $169 on Amazon. ThatΓÇÖs
a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-
canceling in-ears.

AppleΓÇÖs flagship AirPods were $100 off ΓÇö a record-low $149 ΓÇö during
Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale
period, AmazonΓÇÖs current deal is worth considering. The AirPods Pro 2 are
our top choice for iPhone users looking for wireless earbuds, thanks to much
beefier sound than the original model, rock solid ANC and transparency modes,
and seamless switching between Apple devices.

Throw in spatial audio support, hands-free Siri and more than acceptable
battery life, and the AirPods Pro 2 are hard to top. Not everyone gets on
with the sometimes fiddly touch gestures, but a lot of wireless headphones
struggle with this. If thereΓÇÖs anything to give you pause, itΓÇÖs that we
might be getting the AirPods Pro 3 sooner rather than later. But if thatΓÇÖs
the case, you can be confident youΓÇÖll pay a lot more than $169 for the
privilege.

The AirPods Pro arenΓÇÖt the only discounted AirPods right now. The AirPods 4
(without ANC) are down to $99. Usually priced at $129, youΓÇÖre saving $30 on
a much improved entry-level AirPods offering. They fit and sound better than
any non-Pro AirPods before them, and inherit some previously Pro-only
features thanks to the H2 chip. If you travel a lot youΓÇÖll also certainly
rue the lack of ANC, but if that isnΓÇÖt a deal breaker for you, the $99
price point might be tempting.
