Apple’s AirPods Pro are back down to their lowest Amazon price
Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a nice discount on Apple's AirPods Pro, which are currently down to $220 on Amazon. That's about $30 off Apple's MSRP and roughly $15 off the typical street price we see online. While we've seen the noise-cancelling wireless earbuds go for less in the past-Staples very briefly dropped them to $200 last month-this deal matches the lowest price we've seen on Amazon to date.
We recommend the AirPods Pro in our travel tech gift guide. Though we wouldn't say they're the best true wireless earbuds outright, they remain an excellent option for iPhone users who want active noise cancellation in this kind of cable-free design. They're still an upgrade on the base AirPods in almost every way, with more robust touch controls, a more comfortable in-ear design that creates a tighter seal in the ear, and noticeably more dynamic audio quality. They still pair easily with other Apple devices and provide a rock-steady connection once they're hooked up.
While the AirPods Pro can't match the best over-ear headphones in pure noise-cancelling strength, they're still effective at muting ambient sounds, and their "transparency" mode does a good job of layering in those outside noises with your music when needed. Their battery life is still just okay at five hours per charge, and their IPX4 sweat-resistance rating could be better, but later this year, they'll gain support for spatial audio and automatic device switching through a software update. Recent rumors suggest Apple won't launch a follow-up until later next year, so the current model shouldn't go out of date any time soon.
