I’ve tested a lot of wireless earbuds, but I always return to Apple’s AirPods Pro 2. They’re hard to beat, and if you’re yet to invest, now is a good time to do it. Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, the buds have been slashed to one of their lowest-ever prices. I don’t anticipate this deal to be around long, so I wouldn’t wait.
Slashed in price by £50, the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C are now down to £179 at Amazon – the lowest price they’ve been in months. Truly, it’s one of the best deals on Apple’s flagship earbuds I’ve seen, especially given how rarely they go on sale.
I should note that this isn’t the only impressive deal on headphones – I’d also recommend checking out Amazon’s 42 per cent discount on my over-ear headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 (was £379, now £219, Amazon.co.uk). But if it’s AirPods you’re looking for, keep reading to find out how to get the deal (and why I think they make the perfect investment).

Apple AirPods Pro 2: Was £229, now £179, Amazon.co.uk
Boasting fantastic active noise cancellation, adaptive transparency, personalised spatial audio and a host of gearing features, these are my everyday earbuds, and are constantly being updated with new features every year. Recently updated with tead tracking features, you can now nod and shake your head to answer or decline calls and reply to messages. Soon, you’ll be able to hear translations in your ear in real-time, too.
This is the cheapest I’ve seen Apple’s flagship earbuds in a while – they were last reduced to this price in November. Praised by tech critic David Phelan, the audio and active noise cancellation is better than the AirPods 4. “Unlike the AirPods 4, there are also touch controls on the buds themselves, so you can adjust the volume without having to take your phone out of your pocket, and there’s a MagSafe case with a lanyard loop for easy charging and storage,” noted Phelan in his review.
He also found that they feature some really neat adaptive audio features that react to your environment in real time. “The case now includes Apple’s U1 chip, which means you can use the Find My app on your iPhone to locate it when you’ve misplaced it,” he added. You can save £50 with this deal at Amazon.
