Apple’s AirPods Pro has been discounted by various amounts since the end of last year. But now they’re at a price just beaten by Black Friday sales. Amazon has the AirPods Pro for $ 180, which is $ 70 off their normal price and only $ 10 more than they were on Black Friday a few months back.
Buy AirPods Pro at Amazon – $ 180
If you do not yet know the agreement with AirPods Pro, we will catch up with you. These are Apple’s best sounding wireless earbuds, and it’s thanks in part to their interchangeable ear tips that give you a better, more secure fit. Standard AirPods usually fit best with those who like Apple’s old-school EarPods, but AirPods Pro fits more like general buttons because you can choose the size of your earpiece.
Apple’s Adaptive EQ, which automatically tunes low- and mid-range frequencies to your specific ears, and a built-in amplifier, also contribute to better sound quality. Active sound suppression blocks most ambient sounds while listening to tunes, and you can jump into and out of Transparency Mode fairly easily when you need to chat fast. Hands-free Siri controls are another feature we appreciate on AirPods Pro, and it comes with other H1 chip benefits, such as the seamless connectivity and switching between different Apple devices.
In terms of battery life, you’ll spend five hours on a single charge, and the case that comes with the AirPods Pro also has some extra power consumption. Plus, the case has standard wireless charging features (as opposed to standard AirPods, where you’ll pay extra for it), so you can toss it on a Qi charging pad and return to a recharged set of earbuds. While not our favorite wireless earbuds, they are the best you can get, and probably the most convenient if you live within the Apple ecosystem.
