Early Prime Day Deal Sees AirPods Pro 2 Price Slashed by Almost $60
Apple products rarely drop that significantly in price, so whenever they do we always like to shout about it. While October’s Prime Day is still a few days away, retailers are kicking off their deals early, one of which sees the Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds discounted by close to $60, dropping them to $190.
While this isn’t the cheapest price we’ve ever seen (that would be $169), it’s still a decent price cut ahead of the main sales event, and it’s nice to have a choice between two retailers. Best Buy throws in some free Apple services like Apple Music too.
Our experts have rounded up the best Prime Day headphone deals, with unbeatable sound quality for a lot less.
The earbuds promise an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on one 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 with iPhones, iPads and other Apple tech. The AirPods Pro 2 also recently picked up some new hearing aid-like features, making them an ideal accessibility tool for a lot of folks.
