Apple’s newest AirPods Pro get our full recommendation at their full $249 price, but they’re even better when they’re on sale. Amazon is selling the new AirPods Pro for $200, a savings of $49, and matching the best price we’ve ever seen. In a coincidence, Apple released a new ad for the AirPods Pro 2 that spotlights their improved active noise cancellation featuring a cover of The Pixies’ “Where is My Mind” by Tkay Maidza.
The 2nd-gen AirPods Pro have the same design as the ultra-popular original model, but they’re completely redesigned on the inside. The new model has longer battery life (6 hours vs 4.5 hours) and much improved audio quality and 2X active noise cancellation, as well as Apple’s Adaptive Transparency feature. They also come with an updated charging case that has a speaker and a lanyard loop.
In our 4.5-star review, we praised the latest AirPods Pro as “the best choice for those who use Apple products” and at this price, they’re also a pretty great value.
