Time’s Running Out to Bag Apple AirPods Pro 2 for Just $169 as Prime Day Winds Down [CNET]

Get your hands on the best wireless earbuds Apple makes while you can for Amazon’s best price ever.

The Prime Day deals have officially come to an end, but Amazon still has some stragglers just waiting for you to take advantage of them. As a result, there are still some Apple Prime Day deals to be had. We’re big fans of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 despite their admittedly high asking price but right now they can be yours for considerably less. These wireless earbuds would normally retail for almost $250, but if you act now, you can now get them for just $169. You don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member, but we can’t vouch for how long this limited-time deal will last. Just know that we don’t expect it to be much longer.

Even with a refreshed AirPods lineup potentially on the horizon, Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro are still among the best noise-canceling earbuds you’re likely to find. In addition to blocking out noises, they have a transparency mode for when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, and they can automatically optimize their volume based on your environment. 

In use, the earbuds promise an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge (including the battery life stored in the charging case). They instantly pair and switch between Apple devices, making these wireless earbuds a joy to use for those in the Apple ecosystem.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

If you plan on buying these to use with your Apple Vision Pro headset, you’ll enjoy support for 20-bit/48kHz lossless audio with ultralow latency. The Apple Vision Pro has its own built-in speakers, so AirPods aren’t an essential add-on, but they do allow for a more immersive — and private — viewing experience if you want to lose yourself in a movie. 

If the AirPods Pro 2 don’t exactly fit your spec, select something else from the best deals on earbuds and headphones we could find. Or, if you’d rather get a general idea of what you can buy, bookmark our Prime Day live blog. We keep it updated with the most exciting discounts.
