Since the AirPods Pro 3 were released this September, I've been anticipating big price drops for the older second-generation AirPods Pro, and that price drop is now here: Amazon is selling 2nd Generation AirPods Pros for $169.99, down from the previous price of $249.99. This is matching Prime Day prices, according to price tracking tools.
This model, which came out in September 2023, is the first to feature charging via USB-C. They also came out with a few features that older models didn't have, like adaptive transparency. You can expect solid battery life, with Apple claiming up to 30 hours of listening time on a single charge.
The AirPods Pro offer excellent noise cancellation, plus their silicone tips provide a good seal that will naturally block a lot of background noise without the need to turn the ANC feature on. Transparency Mode lets you have a conversation with someone while your audio is still playing, and Conversation Awareness will automatically lower the volume of your media and boost the voices of the people you're talking to. The Adaptive Audio feature is also pretty cool: It reduces any loud sounds to a tolerable 85 dB, so sudden loud noises in your media don't startle or distract you.
All of that to say: While they don't have all the bells and whistles of the AirPods Pro 3 (better ANC, built-in heart rate sensor, provide an extra two hours of use between charges, feature slightly higher water resistance, and include a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip in the charging case), these earbuds still offer many features that make them a great option in 2025—especially at their current discount.
