Spring is coming, and with it comes plenty of opportunities to put on your headphones and go for a sunny stroll reminiscent of a film montage. If you’re looking for an updated pair that won’t cost too much, there’s good news: The second generation Apple AirPods Pro currently on sale for $190, down from $249. The 24 percent discount brings these headphones back to their all-time low price.
Apple released its second-generation AirPods Pro in late 2022, and while they’re certainly not budget wireless headphones, they offer a lot for under $200. We gave them an 88 in our initial review thanks to a few internal updates from their predecessor, such as the ability to swipe for volume control (handy if your device isn’t nearby). Apple also added Adaptive Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio, and an H2 chip that improves noise cancellation. Externally, Apple has shrunk the ear tip for a better fit.
Even the case got an upgrade, with a built-in speaker that will ping if you need to find it, and a lanyard hook (the lanyard is sold separately, of course). Speaking of locating it, the second-generation AirPods Pro case also has a U1 chip that powers Precision Finding in Find My.
