Apple’s AirPods pro have long been one of CNET’s favorite pairs of true wireless earbuds. And now they’re even better thanks to the upgraded second generation, which hit shelves back in September. The new and improved generation has earned a top spot on our list of the best earbuds overall for 2022, and right now you’ve even got a chance to pick some up for less.
Amazon, Best Buy and Target currently have them on sale for $200, which saves you $49 compared to the Apple price. There’s no set expiration, but deals on Apple devices rarely last for long. We’d recommend you get your order in soon if you don’t want to miss out on these savings and plan to have a pair under the tree this year.
These headphones feature up to twice the active noise cancellation of the first-gen AirPods Pro, adaptive transparency and personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for immersive sound. They have four different-sized eartips and provide up to 6 hours of listening time.
Touch controls let you swipe to adjust volume, press to direct media playback, answer or end calls and switch between listening modes. The earbuds and charging case are both sweat- and water-resistant, and the charging case is MagSafe with a lanyard loop.
