Amazon Prime Day has arrived, granting Prime members exclusive access to an array of remarkable deals spanning various categories such as tech, beauty, and kitchen essentials. If you're in the market for wireless earbuds, now is the perfect time to snag the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which are currently available at a staggering discount, making them the lowest price we've seen to date. These award-winning earbuds, recognized by the NBC Select Wellness Awards, are my top recommendation for anyone using an iPhone and are currently over 40% off while supplies last.
In addition to the AirPods Pro 2, you'll find fantastic deals on the Apple AirPods 4 and Apple AirPods Max. These earbuds are designed for comfort, being lightweight and compact, which allows for easy storage in any shirt or pants pocket. The impressive noise cancellation and transparency modes make them a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their listening experience. When noise cancellation is activated, background sounds like subway noise and office chatter fade seamlessly, while the transparency mode allows for clear conversations without having to remove the earbuds.
When paired with your iPhone, the AirPods Pro 2 unlock additional features such as Apple’s Find My app and support for hearing aids. The package includes four ear tip sizes, ensuring you find the most comfortable fit for your ears. At a 40% discount, this deal on the AirPods Pro 2 is just a few dollars shy of the best price ever recorded.
According to NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez, who has used the AirPods Max for years, these headphones offer outstanding sound quality along with robust noise-canceling and transparency features. Currently, this deal marks the lowest price ever seen for the AirPods Max, though it is only applicable to the gold colorway. Their sleek design and seamless connectivity to iPhones, MacBooks, and iPads make them an excellent choice for Apple enthusiasts.
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the AirPods 4 serve as a fantastic alternative to the AirPods Pro 2, especially for those who prefer to avoid rubber ear tips. The semi-open fit of the AirPods 4 may feel more comfortable, although it does allow more outside noise to filter in. These earbuds are similar to the AirPods Pro 2 but lack the built-in noise-canceling and transparency modes. However, they come with a charging case that supports wireless charging and integrates with Apple’s Find My app. You can find more details in my Apple AirPods 4 ANC review.
For those interested in Beats products, this Prime Day is offering the lowest prices we've ever seen on these earbuds. Fully equipped with active noise cancelling, transparency features, and a fast charging case, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are available in four colors, including a striking transparent option. These workout headphones stay securely in place whether you're running or biking, thanks to their ear hook fit and convenient on-ear controls that allow you to adjust volume and skip tracks with ease, even while wearing gloves. More insights can be found in my Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review.
If you're seeking superior sound quality and extended battery life compared to traditional earbuds, consider investing in a pair of over-ear headphones like the Beats Studio Pro. These headphones boast up to 40 hours of battery life and offer a bass-forward sound profile. They can connect via Bluetooth or the provided USB-C cable for wired listening.
