Best Buy has just discounted the newish USB-C AirPods Pro second-generation to $189. That’s not quite the lowest price ever – we likely won’t see that again until November for Black Friday. But at $189, this is a $60 savings, and Best Buy does let you trade in your old headphones for credit towards these.
These new AirPods Pro 2 don’t bring a lot of changes over the original second-generation model. The biggest change is Lightning to USB-C to match the iPhone 15, and of course, the EU’s demand for everything having USB-C. It also brings lossless audio, which is really impressive, but you’ll really only be able to use it on the Vision Pro.
When it comes to battery life here, Apple is claiming about six hours of listening time. That’s on a single charge; with the case, they are touting about 30 hours. So these should be able to get you through a good solid listening session. And even for a flight from New York to San Francisco. There’s also an LED on the front of the case to indicate charging and pairing. As well as a speaker there for Find My.
These are a great pair of earbuds, that sound great as well. Obviously, if you’re an audiophile, these aren’t going to be the ones for you. As they won’t offer the very beast audio quality on the planet, but they are good nonetheless.
