Picking up a new pair of wireless earbuds really can be a game-changer if you’re someone who likes to listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks without big and heavy headphones. Whether you’re on the go or just want to block out the hustle and bustle of a noise office, active noise cancelation technology is an absolute must — and Apple’s impressive AirPods Pro 2 are among the best to do it. Unfortunately, they’re also among the most expensive which makes this deal all the more important. If you act fast you can get a new pair of Apple’s premium earbuds for just $170 at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen of the year, and it’s one that you won’t want to miss.
The AirPods Pro 2 comes with a MagSafe Charging Case (USB-C), four silicone ear tips ranging from extra-small to large as well as a USB-C cable. Powered by Apple’s H2 chip, the earbuds deliver immersive sound and active noise cancellation that removes up to two times background noise. With this enabled, the battery can last up to 6 hours by itself or 30 hours with the charging case.

Why this deal matters
CNET audio expert David Carnoy gave a hugely positive review of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 complimenting the “excellent sound” and “well-designed controls.” Summarizing his thoughts, Carnoy said: “The AirPods Pro 2 may not be the best at everything, but they do everything very well and are also lightweight and fit most people’s ears comfortably and securely. And that’s why they remain one of our CNET Editors’ Choice award winners in the headphones category.”
The AirPods Pro 2 are worth full price to a lot of folks, though snagging them with close to $80 off is a huge win if you’re in for a set.
