Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro have dropped to less than $200 in a deal with Amazon. AirPods Pro, normally $250, are now $60 off, bringing the price down to $190. This is the same price we saw in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. AirPods Pro offer a number of premium features over standard AirPods, including active noise cancellation for when you want to disconnect from the world and impressive transparency mode for when you want to hear the sounds around you.

The second-generation AirPods Pro were released in 2022 and featured Apple’s H2 chip in the earbuds, resulting in notable performance improvements. Provides adaptive audio that automatically switches between active noise cancellation and tolerance modes depending on surrounding conditions. Conversation recognition lets you lower your volume when speaking and makes it easier for you to hear others.
We gave this version of the AirPods Pro a rating, making it one of our picks on the market. The second-generation AirPods Pro are dust-, sweat-, and water-resistant, able to withstand exercise, and achieve better battery life than previous generations. With features like ANC enabled, you’ll get around 6 hours of battery life, which goes up to 30 hours with the charging case. Apple says that putting your AirPods Pro in their case for five minutes can give you an extra hour of listening or talking time.
AirPods Pro also offer personalized spatial audio with head tracking for more immersive listening while watching TV or movies. However, the gesture controls introduced in this generation of earbuds may take some getting used to. On AirPods Pro, you can adjust the volume by swiping the touch controls.
