The AirPods Pro just dropped in price again
Save $74.02: Love active noise cancellation but love over-the-ear headphones a little less? As of Feb. 14, the Apple AirPods Pro are on sale for just $174.98 at Amazon. That's 30% off their list price of $249, bringing them to the lowest price we've seen them since Cyber Monday.
Let's be real: the third-generation AirPods were kind of a flop. Their release last fall marked the first AirPods upgrade in two years, and though they looked like the Pros (aka the best version of the AirPods to date), the lack of new features left pretty much everyone wanting more.
The AirPods Pro are on sale for 30% off at just $174.98 at Amazon and Walmart — their lowest price since Cyber Week. They still haven't quite hit that $159 all-time low, but catching them below $180 since November has been a rarity.
Yes, these buds are technically a 2019 release (minus the MagSafe case upgrade we got at the tail end of 2021), but they remain an elite pair of headphones. Beyond sounding great, their active noise cancellation truly does shut out the world around you, which is in part thanks to the interchangeable silicone tips that allow you to get a nice seal in your ear. And transparency mode is ideal for catching up on podcasts while you go for walks.
Could their battery life be a little bit better? Sure. But despite being a slightly older release, the AirPods Pro make good on a solid design and functionality, which feels well worth the cost.
