Apple's AirPods Pro have dropped to their lowest price yet on Amazon

Ars Technica

Today’s Dealmaster is spearheaded by a modest but noticeable discount on Apple’s AirPods Pro, which are It currently dropped to $ 228 on Amazon. You will see the full discount at checkout. While we’ve seen the AirPods Pro go for a couple bucks less at other retailers, this is the lowest Amazon has been to date. The deal takes about $ 20 off Apple’s standard MSRP and about $ 12 off the average street price; Since big discounts on noise-canceling headphones have been pretty rare, we consider it a decent drop.

We recommend AirPods Pro in our Travel Tech Gift Guide for the last holiday season. While we don’t think they are the best true wireless headphones on the market, they are the best noise-canceling headphones in their class, and they’re a noticeable improvement over standard AirPods in almost every significant way. Its active noise cancellation cannot match that of the best headphones from Sony and Bose, and we are aware of reports that previous firmware updates have decreased the overall power of the ANC, but overall the headphones still isolate noise well enough to be useful on a train or on a busy sidewalk. Its ear tips create a tighter seal than the earphone design of regular AirPods, helping them produce more bass and better passively isolate noise. The included olives are soft and relatively comfortable too.
AirPods Pro have largely neutral sound quality that doesn’t over-emphasize bass or treble. It is not spectacular for the money, but it’s harmless and better than most other true wireless models. The headphones are still very easy to pair with an iPhone, and they rarely experience connection problems. Apple’s transparency mode, which combines your audio with noise from the outside world, works wonders. Battery life is still not good at about five hours per charge, but the included charging case is at least easy to transport. Likewise, the headset’s sensor-based controls are less consistent than the physical buttons, but they’re not a hassle enough to ruin the experience.
