Black Friday has kicked off early this month, and if you’re looking for a deal on headsets and earbuds, you can pick up a set of Apple Airpods Pro 2 for $160. This is the lowest price ever for these–previously, it was $170 during Prime Day in July–as they normally retail for $250.
This set comes with a MagSafe Charging Case (USB-C) and several sets of silicone ear tips to help you fine-tune the fit. What’s really nice about these earbuds is that they sit comfortably in your ears, as the silicone tips don’t push into your ear canals. If you’re the kind of person who hates earplugs, for example, then these are a great option as they’re lightweight and you’ll barely feel them when they’re placed in your ears.
For the hardware inside of each earbud, there’s a powerful Apple H2 chip that can deliver really good audio quality and excellent noise cancellation. These are particularly good at drowning out background noise and you can even use them at gym, although admittedly, you’re still going to hear some sounds if your local exercise joint plays music at an unbearably loud level. These will still do a good job of masking most of the noise with its ANC technology, and both the AirPods Pro and the MagSafe Charging Case are IP54-rated, meaning they’re dust, sweat, and water-resistant.
They also feature various touch controls to manage playback functions and Siri interactions, and if you have an iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 installed, these have been authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration to function as over-the-counter hearing aids.
