There are plenty of reasons to pick up a pair of Apple's AirPods Pro 2, and some of them are why they're some of the best wireless earbuds on the market. But a bargain price definitely isn't one of them. With a usual retail price of around $249, we wouldn't call them inexpensive by any stretch, but sometimes you get what you pay for in life.
And sometimes, a deal comes along that gives you quality and price in one package. Amazon Prime Day might be the talk of the town, but Amazon is currently offering a brand-new pair for just $160 -- an $89 savings.
If you want to get a feel for just how good that deal is, the AirPods Pro 2 are rarely cheaper than this. In fact, they're less than you'd normally pay for Apple's AirPods 4 with ANC -- although, you can get those at just $149 right now. But we'd suggest choosing the AirPods Pro 2 if you can manage the extra cash. This deal also includes three free months of Apple Fitness+ and three months of Apple Music, too.
The AirPods Pro 2 come with a MagSafe (and USB-C) charging case, four silicone ear tips ranging from extra small to large and 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 the background noise. With this enabled, the battery can last up to 6 hours alone or 30 hours with the charging case.

Why this deal matters
CNET audio expert David Carnoy gave the Apple AirPods Pro 2 a largely positive review, 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 the full price to many folks, though snagging them at an $89 discount is a huge win if you're in the market. If you're looking for deals on other types of AirPods, we've gathered all the best AirPods deals article.
