The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are quite possibly the best AirPods you can get right now, and certainly the best wireless earbuds the tech giant currently makes. Now that they're currently sporting a tasty discount, we'd urge lovers of all things Apple to take a look.

For just $169 at Amazon, (and Walmart), you can grab this five-star pair for $80 less than their usual retail price of $249. Sure, it's not quite as good as the Black Friday deal, which saw them $15 cheaper, but it's certainly the best price we've seen so far this year.

Discounts as epic as this on Apple products don't come around very often, so you'll have to act fast to secure this deal before the price goes back up.

The AirPods Pro 2 are Apple's best-sounding earbuds, leading us to award them a well-deserved five-star rating when we reviewed them a few years back. They do occasionally drop a tad lower during major sales events, but if you want an impressive $80 off arguably the best wireless earbuds for iOS users, now is the time to strike.

The Pro 2 excel in pretty much every key area of wireless performance, boasting top noise-cancelling capabilities, a healthy feature set and stellar sound. Highlights include around 30 hours total battery life (including the USB-C charging case), intuitive use with iOS devices, solid voice call quality and wireless charging capabilities.

Then there's the Pro 2's mightily impressive noise cancelling capabilities, which, while not quite on the same level as Bose's best, dampen external noises in a way that feels natural and comprehensive.

Noise cancelling also offers new additions like Adaptive Transparency for reducing loud noises whilst in Transparency Mode to keep you aware of your surroundings.

Sonically, the AirPods Pro 2 are a cut above a lot of their competitors at the money. There's clarity and detail to be found, but what impressed us during our tests was how rich and powerful the Pro 2 sounded.

They're also rhythmically adept, adding a feeling of drive and propulsion to tunes and giving your music the energy and momentum it needs to feel truly exciting.

As we stated in our AirPods Pro 2 review: "They deliver a sound that’s very capable while also being very easy and fun to listen to. Regardless of what you’re listening to, the AirPods Pro 2 turn their hand skillfully to all genres of music."

Now they're even more affordable with this super deal from Amazon. Check it out and make a great saving before the price inevitably goes back up.
