When Apple rolled out the new AirPods at its October 18th event, it didn’t change the AirPods Pro but did introduce a MagSafe charging case. That’s not a bad thing, as they already offered clear sound, good active noise cancellation and always-on Siri access. Now, we’re already seeing the new Magsafe model on sale for the first time at Amazon for $220, or $29 off the regular $249 price.
Buy Apple AirPods Pro at Amazon – $220
The AirPods Pro earned an 87 Engadget score for their improved sound quality, better fitting design, IPX4 water resistance, Siri access and easy switching between Apple devices. They also do a good job blocking out surrounding noise, and the latest feature can boost other people’s voices during conversations — useful for folks with mild hearing difficulties.
As part of its new AirPods and MacBook Pro launch, Apple also gave the AirPods Pro a MagSafe charging case for the same $249 price tag. As before, they have a built-in battery that allows you to go up to 24 hours without needing access to a wall plug. The addition of MagSafe makes charging a bit safer, as the cable will just pull out rather than tripping you or breaking if you accidentally catch it when walking by.
If that feature doesn’t matter much to you, the older AirPods Pro model is also on sale for $197, for a 21 percent discount. They have dropped to lower prices before, so you could also wait for a better deal — like on Black Friday coming up next month.
