Now’s a good time to pick up a pair of AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. Amazon has them on sale for $170, which is just about the lowest price we’ve seen them this year. The all-time low hit back during Black Friday last year, but if you missed them then, you have another opportunity now to grab them for a good sale price. This purchase comes with the earbuds, four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes, a charging case, a lanyard loop and a USB-C cable.
\nWe heaped a fair amount of praise on these earbuds in our official review, calling them “a worthwhile update.” The sound is better-than-ever, thanks to new drivers, amplifiers, transducers and audio algorithms. The transparency mode is absolutely stellar, largely helped by the company\u2019s proprietary H2 chip. <\/p>\n
The ANC is solid, particularly for earbuds. This is also thanks to that H2 chip, which allows the AirPods Pro to cancel twice as much noise as the first-gen model. These earbuds are made for Apple devices, so there\u2019s seamless switching between, say, iPhones, iPads and Macs.
\nThe touch gesture controls are neat, but there’s a learning curve. Give it a few days before throwing in the towel. The battery life is just average, but the charging case helps keep the music going. The primary downside here is age. The AirPods 2 Pro earbuds came out in 2022, so a refresh is likely on the horizon.
