Walmart has begun its early Black Friday promotions, running from November 14th to November 16th. Notable discounts include a significant reduction on the previous generation of AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C charging case, listed at $139—an $110 discount. This price is lower than previous sales events, including Prime Day, and is only $10 above the cost of the entry-level AirPods 4, which lack active noise cancellation.
Despite the introduction of the AirPods Pro 3, the AirPods Pro 2 remain a viable choice, particularly given the current pricing. These wireless earbuds are noted for their sound quality, effective active noise cancellation (ANC), and a transparency mode that allows external sounds to be heard while also providing some protection against sudden loud noises.
The AirPods Pro 2 can serve as FDA-approved hearing aids and offer a battery life of up to six hours with ANC activated. Their charging case features MagSafe compatibility, allowing for convenient wireless charging. Additionally, the earbuds have an IP54 rating, indicating resistance to dust and water. In comparison, the more recent AirPods Pro 3 have an improved IP57 rating, which allows for temporary immersion in water.
The second generation of these earbuds integrates smoothly with other Apple devices, enabling automatic switching between devices. For instance, if a user transitions from listening to music on an iPhone to watching a video on a Mac, the AirPods Pro will automatically adjust to the new device. The packaging also includes four sets of ear tips, including an extra-small option, to enhance comfort and fit.
