While we did see some wild deals on the latest AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C MagSafe charging case over Black Friday last year in the $154 range for a week or so, Amazon just brought back the holiday pricing and one of the best prices of the year at $169.99 shipped. Regularly $249, this is 32% or $79 off the flagship Apple buds.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 dropped down to $154 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year – that was the lowest price we have ever tracked for them all-time. But on either side of that deal, in the lead up to Black Friday and then again just ahead of Christmas 2024, we were seeing the same $169 and $169.99 we have here today. There was a quick drop to $169 about a month ago in early February and we are once again seeing a price very close to that here today.
While the AirPods 4 – currently starting from $117 at Amazon – did arrive last September, the annual early fall Apple event came and went without a new set of AirPods Pro 3. That leaves the set we have here today as the latest and greatest pro-grade buds – they were one of, if not, the most popular product among gadgetnewsonline readers last year.
While we didn’t get a new set of pros last year, Apple did introduce a number of new features to the set we have here today in the form the new nod gestures – “simply nod your head yes or shake your head no when Siri asks if you’d like to hear a message, answer a call, or manage a notification” – alongside Hearing Protection, Hearing Test action, Hearing Aid support, and Media Assist. Get a closer look at what those are all about right here.
