Apple's second-gen AirPods Pro 2 have been one of our top picks for earbuds since they first launched. The earbuds are comfortable, look great and sound incredible as well. They're the whole package, but that comes with a $249 price tag. Well, thanks to this early Black Friday deal at Amazon, you can currently get these amazing earbuds for just $170, which is a full $79 lower than the normal price. That's one heck of a deal, so if you've been waiting for a chance to grab them for cheap, this is it.
This early Black Friday offer is a serious bargain, at just $1 more than the all-time lowest price we've ever seen for these Apple earbuds. They could return to that record-low price as we get closer to Black Friday, although waiting could mean missing this deal, as there's no guaranteeing how long this discount will last. It's also worth noting that you can snag them for $190 at Best Buy, where you'll also get three free months of Apple Music and Apple Fitness Plus (if you're a new subscriber). And if you trade in a similar device, you could save up to $45 through Best Buy's trade-in program.
The earbuds promise an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on one single charge (including the battery life stored in the charging case). They instantly pair and switch between Apple devices, making these wireless earbuds a joy to use for those with iPhones, iPads and other Apple tech. The AirPods Pro 2 also recently picked up some new hearing aid-like features, making them an ideal accessibility tool for a lot of folks.

If you plan on picking these to use with your Apple Vision Pro headset, you'll enjoy support for 20-bit/48kHz lossless audio with ultralow latency. The Apple Vision Pro has built-in speakers, so AirPods aren't an essential add-on, but they do allow for a more immersive -- and private -- viewing experience if you want to lose yourself in a movie.

Will the Apple AirPods Pro 2 go any lower this year?
While they may go down a little, we'd be surprised to see it. Even with Black Friday already starting to kick in, this is an incredibly good price for these earbuds.
Are Apple Airpods Pro 3 coming soon?
While we've had hints at a new model of these earbuds coming, it won't be until next year at the earliest. So, there's no harm in going for these if you're in need of an audio upgrade.
