Amazon is offering a fantastic early Black Friday deal on Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds. Normally retailing at £229, you can now snap up the pair for £179, as £50 is cut off the price.

These earbuds boast ‘ground-breaking sound’ and intelligent noise control that eliminates twice as much background noise as previous models. They come with four different-sized silicone tips for a ‘customisable fit’, creating an ‘acoustic seal’ to keep out noise and secure them in place. Yes, they may be a few years older than the newest AirPods Pro 4 pair, but their features are not to be scrimped on.

Dynamic head tracking provides ‘personalised spatial audio’, tailoring the sound to your unique ear shape, while immersive listening ‘places sound all around you’. To control sound and playback, ‘simply swipe, press and hold the stem’, and Siri can be activated hands-free by nodding or shaking your head.

Over the past month, five thousand pairs of AirPods Pro 2 have been purchased from Amazon, with more than 10,900 global customers rating them an impressive 4.7 out of five stars overall.

One satisfied customer shared: “The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are an absolute game changer. From the moment I unboxed them, I was impressed by the quality and attention to detail. The sound quality is exceptional, with high-fidelity audio that truly enhances my listening experience.

He continued: “The active noise cancellation feature works wonders in blocking out background noise, making it perfect for focused listening or when I’m on the go. I also love the Transparency mode, which allows me to hear my surroundings without removing the earbuds—great for staying aware of my environment while enjoying music or podcasts”, as the Liverpool Echo reported.

“The personalized Spatial Audio adds an immersive dimension to my favourite tracks and movies, making them sound incredible. The fit is comfortable, and the various ear tip sizes ensure a snug seal. Plus, the addition of USB-C charging is a thoughtful upgrade for ease of use.”

Not everyone was as satisfied; however, one customer reported discomfort: “The sound and active noise cancelling (ANC) are pretty impressive. However, if you have small ears, these won’t be the best. The actual body (not the tips) causes my ear to hurt.”

In the meantime, Currys has dropped the price of the Apple Airpods with Lightning Charging Case (3rd generation) – now £99 down from £169, offering a nifty saving of £70. Alternatively, the tech retailer is also offering the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds – Silver at a reduced price of £159, down from £219, saving customers £60.

As well as Amazon’s new Apple deal, it’s worth mentioning that provider EE is offering the same cheaper price on the AirPods Pro 2 pair too, as an option for other shoppers.
