Apple rarely offers discounts on its own products, so we typically rely on retailers like Amazon to lower prices on Apple Watches, iPads, and more. With Amazon’s inaugural Big Spring Sale now underway for several days, significant markdowns on Apple technology comparable to Prime Day and Black Friday are available. Tested and recommended by tech experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute, the second-generation AirPods Pro stand out as our top choice among Apple AirPods. Our editors particularly appreciate their noise-canceling capabilities and impressive sound quality, ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment of music, podcasts, movies, and more.
The AirPods Pro includes four pairs of silicone tips for customizable comfort, distinguishing them from standard AirPods. They boast a battery life of up to 6 hours on a single charge, with an additional 30 hours provided by the charging case, making them ideal for workouts, calls, and travel. Apple ensures they are dust-, water-, and sweat-resistant, enhancing their durability.
According to Apple, this model offers even better noise cancellation than the original AirPods Pro, effectively reducing background noise in bustling environments like New York City. A single tap on the earbud allows users to switch off noise cancellation to hear their surroundings. Apple has also integrated a feature called “conversation awareness,” which automatically adjusts audio volume and reduces background noise when the wearer speaks.
While normally priced at $249, you can purchase these advanced earbuds for $189 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale—matching their Black Friday 2023 price point.
