Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, but there are already some early Black Friday sales happening. For example, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are now back $170. That’s $80, or 32% off the list price. AirPods Pro 2 previously sold for $169, so this isn’t the lowest price on record, but it’s not far off.
AirPods Pro 2 are our pick for the best wireless earbuds for iPhone. It also received a score of 88 in our 2022 review.

AirPods Pro 2 have dropped to near-record low prices ahead of Black Friday. Apple recently added some hearing health features that make the earbuds even more appealing.

The transparency mode with Apple’s H2 chip feels great. They sound much more natural than any other earphones we’ve tested.
Building on this, Apple recently enabled hearing health features on AirPods Pro 2. This includes FDA-approved hearing aid features and hearing tests. Earphones can also be used in noisy environments such as concerts to protect your hearing without muffling the audio.
Other useful features include fast pairing and easy switching between Apple devices, spatial audio, hands-free Siri, and reliable active noise cancellation. The earphones also have IPX4-rated waterproof performance. On the downside, touch gestures take a little getting used to.
AirPods Pro 2 ran for about 6 hours and 15 minutes on a single charge during our testing. The charging case (which can charge the battery wirelessly or via USB-C) allows up to three additional charges.
