Apple AirPods Pro are back to their Black Friday price at Amazon right now

By Jennifer Allen December 15, 2020

Missed out on Apple AirPods Pro during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? You’re in luck — Amazon has reduced the Apple AirPods Pro earbuds back down to their Black Friday price so you’ve got time to snap up a great deal again. With $50 off, this is a great time to buy the latest and greatest Apple AirPods Pro and enjoy a superior listening experience for just $199. These are just some of the great AirPods deals out there right now.

In our Apple AirPods Pro review, we described them as ‘shockingly good’ for a very good reason. They offer pretty much everything you could want from true wireless earbuds. That includes clear and engaging sound when you’re listening to your favorite music or podcasts, as well as similarly great call quality when taking calls through your earbuds. In part, this is thanks to the Apple AirPods Pro using adaptive EQ which means they automatically tune your music to the shape of your ear, providing you with a superior experience to regular true wireless earbuds.

Alongside that, the Apple AirPods Pro also offer highly effective active noise cancellation, which is a huge help if you’re somewhere noisy and you simply want to zone out from what’s going on around you. Flick the transparency mode on and you can get straight back to hearing the world around you, which is particularly useful if you’re using them while working out or in the workplace.

They’re also sweat and water-resistant plus they come with a wireless charging case that offers more than 24 hours of battery life in all. That’s highly useful as the earbuds themselves only offer around 4-5 hours of playback, a metric that is a little mediocre compared to other true wireless earbuds. The quality is there in all other areas though.

Ordinarily priced at $249, the Apple AirPods Pro are down to just $199 right now. That’s a saving of $50, working out to 20% off the usual price so this is a good time to snap them up. These are prices we normally see during Black Friday sales so you’ll want to get in fast before the price goes back up.

MacBook Air is still at its lowest-ever price following Prime Day 2023

The M1-powered Macbook Air, open on a table.

The 256GB version of the M1-powered Apple MacBook Air 2020 was on sale for its lowest-ever price of $750 for Amazon's Prime Day, but if you missed the shopping event, don't worry because the discount is still available. You can still take advantage of the $250 discount on the laptop's original price of $1,000, but because it's a holdover from the MacBook deals of Prime Day, we're pretty sure that it won't last long. If you want to get a MacBook for cheap, you're going to want to push through with this transaction before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air 2020
It has since been overshadowed by the M2-powered Apple MacBook Air 2022, but the Apple MacBook Air 2020 remains in our list of the best MacBooks as the lowest-price option if you want one of Apple's laptops. It's powered by Apple's M1 chip, which is so power-efficient that this model of the MacBook Air can last up to 18 hours on a single charge, and it goes completely fanless. This also makes the laptop completely silent even when it's handling heavy workloads, which you probably didn't think would be such a big deal until you experience it first hand.

Amazon’s take on the Apple AirPods are down to $35 right now

amazon echo buds 2023 review 7

If you're thinking about buying wireless earbuds but you're on a tight budget, you should check out the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds. They were just released last month, but they're already part of this year's Prime Day deals with a $15 discount that makes their already low price of $50 even more affordable, as you can get them for just $35. They're a steal for this cheap, but a lot of shoppers will be thinking that as well, so it's highly recommended that you buy the wireless earbuds right now while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds
The third-generation Amazon Echo Buds are already included in our roundup of the best cheap headphones and earbuds because they come with a price that's tough to beat. There's a lot of technologies that you can find in the best wireless earbuds, like the Apple AirPods Pro 2, that are missing in the Amazon Echo Buds 2023, including active noise cancellation and wireless charging, but for what they cost, they're considered a decent set of wireless earbuds. They even slightly make up for the lack of ANC through a semi-in-ear design that helps reduce noise.
