Get early Black Friday savings on Apple AirPods Pro at Amazon

It's no secret that we love the Apple AirPods Pro—the second-generation model is one of our favorite earbuds, especially if you have an iPhone. If you're looking for a tech-friendly holiday gift, a new pair of earbuds will certainly come in handy for listening to podcasts, tuning in to virtual classes, or decompressing in between school work with some music. That's why Amazon has started rolling out some early Black Friday savings on the second-generation AirPods Pro with a special charging port.

While the typical Apple devices have the brand's specific Lightning cable port, Amazon has the second-generation AirPods Pro with a USB-C port on sale for $199.99. Typically listed for $249, this set of wireless white buds is now available for 20% off. The power port may be different, but you'll still get all the bells and whistles the AirPods Pro has to offer.

Why we love the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

Our testers found that these second-generation AirPods have a battery life of up to six hours with active noise-cancelation on, seven hours without, and up to 30 hours with the charging case. “It took three years, but the new AirPods Pro got the upgrade we’ve been waiting for,” our tester said.

The AirPods Pro are some of the lightest and comfiest earbuds on the market. In testing, we were especially thrilled with the next-gen noise canceling, Adaptive Transparency mode, and top-of-the-line sound quality. "If there’s a better pair of earbuds for overall usability and value out there, I haven’t found them," our tester said. "If you have an iPhone, these are the buds to buy.”

With more than 28,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, people who have already snagged a pair seem to agree. "The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds represent the pinnacle of audio technology and wireless convenience. With their sleek design, advanced features, and exceptional sound quality, these earbuds offer a truly immersive and enjoyable listening experience," one happy Amazon customer said.
