Apple AirPods Pro just hit $154 on Black Friday, an all-time low

If you’ve been hesitant about upgrading your earbuds, this is your sign to stop procrastinating. The AirPods Pro are currently sitting on theirs lowest price ever – just $154 during Amazon’s Black Friday Week sale. That’s practically pocket change (okay, not really) for some of the best earbuds in the industry, offering premium sound, industry-leading active noise cancellation, and seamless integration with your Apple devices. Don’t think of these as luxuries – they’re an upgrade to your lifestyle. Imagine blocking out the world with personalized spatial sound while your earbuds know exactly how your ears are shaped. Do you find it difficult to hear conversations? With clinical-grade hearing aid functionality, this device amplifies the voices of people with mild to moderate hearing loss. At this price it’s a real bargain.

At $154, you save so much that it justifies throwing the clutter of wired earbuds straight in the trash (or maybe donating them?). Plus, the improved battery life of these bad boys means you can listen to podcasts, jam, or take calls for hours without a hitch.

Of course, since it’s just the biggest shopping week of the year, there are plenty of other deals that make up this (admittedly outstanding) sale. Be sure to check out the best Black Friday headphone deals as well as our favorite Black Friday deals across the web.

Why is this a good Black Friday deal? 💰

AirPods Pro are some of the most sought-after earbuds on the market, and this sale makes them much more affordable. While these popular buds sometimes drop below $180, this is the lowest price they have ever been. (If Pros are still too rich for you, check out our comprehensive review of AirPods Pro alternatives under $100—there’s something for everyone.)

Why do I need these? 🤔

For one thing, they are customizable. Big ears? Small ears? No problem. While previous AirPods took a one-size-fits-all approach, Apple has redesigned these with silicone tips for a comfortable fit. Now they feel better in your ears and are less likely to slip out. These cutting-edge professionals also offer a dedicated earbud fit test to help you figure out which size is best for you and your ear shape. (If you want to learn more about how these compare to the previous generation, read our full review.)

Unlike previous versions of the legendary headphones, the Pros feature active noise cancellation to block out almost all ambient and background noise. The AirPods Pro are also a revelation when it comes to battery life: the battery life is six hours, compared to around half that of the previous model. You can put it into the included wireless charging case to charge for another 24 hours.

These earbuds sync wirelessly with almost any Apple device, including iPhone, iPad, MacBook and iMac. But their benefits go beyond the Appleverse: They can also be perfectly paired with Android smartphones or tablets as well as Windows laptops and desktops.

What reviewers say 💬

These AirPods Pro have more than 9,000 five-star fans and with over 10,000 pairs purchased in the last month, it’s safe to say Apple has a slam dunk on its hands.

Advantages 👍

If there’s one reason to get a pair of AirPods Pro, it’s the sound, buyers say. “They exceeded my expectations in every way,” raved one fan. “The sound quality is exceptional, with a rich, balanced audio profile that makes listening to music and podcasts a pleasure. The noise cancellation function has also been significantly improved and effectively suppresses background noise even in busy environments.”

“Wow, these things are next level!” said a second shopper. “As always, the Bluetooth connection is seamless and the active noise cancellation is incredibly good – it’s like the world just melts away when you use it. Perfect for noisy commutes or when you just want some peace and quiet. One feature that surprised me is the new hearing aid feature that really helps you with conversations or certain sounds. And if you don’t want to be completely isolated, Transparency mode is super clear – you can hear what’s going on around you so you don’t have to take the earbuds out.”

Another customer said: “I bought these mainly for the noise canceling feature. It works great and much better compared to Beats. It’s on par with Bose noise cancellation.”

When it comes to wearing comfort, one shopper said, “They fit securely and comfortably in my ears and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort.”

Disadvantages 👎

The biggest complaint about the pros? Battery life. Even though it’s longer than previous generations, fans want more: “The battery life is sufficient, but it wouldn’t hurt if it could last about an hour longer on longer flights.”

Some people actually have a hard time getting the buds to stay in their ears. “I just wish they didn’t always feel like they were falling out. Apple, I don’t care if you add a piece that goes around the outside of my ear. Just let them stay inside.”

Amazon

Get up to six hours of battery life per bud, totaling just over 30 hours in the case.
