Need some good news to help you through the spring-forward grog this morning? Some of Apple’s best headphones finally dropped back down in price — they’re near their lowest price ever.
You can have your choice of retailer — the second-generation AirPods Pro are on sale for just $199.99 at Amazon(Opens in a new tab), Best Buy(Opens in a new tab), Walmart(Opens in a new tab), and Target(Opens in a new tab) as of March 13. We keep a close eye on headphones deals, so we can tell you that it’s been a month since these earbuds hit $199 flat, and before that, the last time they saw a sale was during the holidays.
We’re fans of the upgraded Pros because of their impressive active noise cancellation (which somehow improves upon the first gen), six-hour battery life (which bests the first gen’s 4.5-hour battery life), and balanced sound that makes music from all genres shine. Apple didn’t change the design on the second-gens minus a lanyard loop, but the first-gen buds are comfortable, and the case is sleek, so we’re not complaining — though we could’ve done without the lightning port.
Ultimately, these buds aren’t an essential upgrade for first-generation AirPods Pro users. But the small improvements do add up to a pair of earbuds that best their first iteration, making them an excellent choice for anyone who wants to get into the AirPod game for the first time, or needs to retire some well-loved buds. When you’re saving 20%, it’s easier to make that upgrade.
