Planning to get a new pair of AirPods? Look no more as Appleosophy is here to update you on the latest deals on Apple products! As a part of the ongoing Black Friday sale, both Amazon and Best Buy are currently offering a $95 and $90 discount on the latest AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with USB-C. The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) was initially launched by Apple in September of 2022 with a Lightning port, but was also updated to support USB-C last year along with the iPhone 15 lineup.
The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) is powered by the new H2 chip, which elevates the Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode experience along with offering longer battery life. In addition to Touch control for Media Playback, users can adjust the volume directly from the stem. The brand-new charging case now has a new Lanyard Loop, a built-in speaker and it features the U1 chip to support precision finding, which will help users easily find their AirPods case by playing a sound on the Find My App. Apple is also offering an additional ear tip size – Extra Small for a better and more comfortable fit.
Apple also updated the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) last year to feature a USB-C port along with IP54 Water and Dust Resistance, compared to the IPX4 rating on its lightning version. Since the H2 Chip on the USB-C variant of the AirPods Pro has a faster 5 GHz wireless frequency, it will also support 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio when connected to the Apple Vision Pro, which is already available to purchase in several countries. Since the H2 chip on the Lightning version has a slower 2.4 GHz wireless frequency, it will not support the same. The USB-C variant is available with an effective price of $154 on Amazon and $159.99 on Best Buy, down from $249. If you’re planning to get the Apple Vision Pro or if you already have one, we’d recommend you to get the USB-C variant instead of Lightning. For an extra $29, you can also add AppleCare+ to your purchase, which I also would recommend because of its benefits.
More features such as Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, and Conversation Awareness are exclusively available to the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) for users running iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, tvOS 17, and macOS Sonoma and later.
With more recent software versions such as iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, Apple has released a new set of features such as Voice Isolation and Siri Interactions to these AirPods, you can read more about it by clicking here. That’s not it, Apple has also recently released another significant update to the AirPods Pro 2 to bring more features such as Awareness, Prevention, Assistance, and clinical-grade Hearing Aid functionality.
