Amazonās Prime Early Access Sale, a.k.a. Amazon Prime Day 2.0, has arrived, and with it comes the best discount weāve seen yet on Appleās newest AirPods Pro. Right now, you can buy them on sale for just $223.24 instead of $249. Thatās a small price cut, true, but itās also the steepest discount weāve seen on the noise-canceling earbuds since they launched just a few weeks ago.
While the second-gen AirPods Pro arenāt dramatically different from their predecessor, they do include new swipe-based controls and better noise cancellation. They also now come with four replaceable ear tips instead of three, which might make them more comfortable for listeners with smaller ears. Plus, their MagSafe charging case differs from others in the AirPods lineup in that it features a built-in speaker and Find My support, which means Apple users can keep track of it more easily. Thereās also a built-in loop, so you can attach the case to a lanyard. They may not be the best-sounding wireless earbuds weāve tested, but they still sound good ā and as they integrate quite nicely with other Apple devices, could be a good option for Apple users.

If the second-generation AirPods Pro are too expensive for you, fret not, because you can also buy Appleās second-generation AirPods for just $89.99 instead of $129 from Amazon and Walmart. True, they donāt offer active noise cancellation, a wireless charging case, nor water resistance. However, if you donāt need those features, these buds still sound good, offer decent battery life, and also integrate well with other Apple devices. Read our review.
