Wireless headphones come with the added weight, and while these offer better audio quality and noise cancellation, the increased bulk just is not worth for it for a bevy of customers. For this specific populace, if you have the budget to spare, get a pair of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 immediately, because, at $169.99, this is the lowest price of the year, and considering that these dropped from $199.99, now is an excellent time to upgrade.
The AirPods Pro 2 feature Apple’s significantly improved H2 chip, delivering better Active Noise Cancellation, audio quality, wireless range, and a multitude of other advantages. The AirPods Pro 2 also support hearing aid, which is a clinical-grade feature offered by no other wireless earbuds at this time. Since every wearer will have different-sized ears, Apple was generous enough to bundle four pairs of silicone eartips in the packaging to deliver the best fit possible.
Now coming to the battery life, each charge from 100 percent can last for up to 6 hours with Active Noise Cancellation enabled on the AirPods Pro 2, with a total runtime reaching 30 hours with the USB-C Charging case. Given how small the accessory is, chances are that you might lose it, which is why Apple has taken the liberty of allowing you to track it using Precision Finding, or listening to the audio cues from its built-in speaker.
If you want something cheaper and do not mind sacrificing a few features the AirPods 4 without Active Noise Cancellation can be yours for $99. The pair that supports Active Noise Cancellation are currently listed for $148.99, but given that the latter are barely $20 more expensive than the AirPods Pro 2, we will currently recommend you to pick up Apple’s latest and greatest wireless earbuds.
