Apple AirPods Pro 2 drop to $199 ($50 off) with top holiday deal

The $199.99 promo from Verizon is excellent since you get free two-day shipping or the potential to pick up the AirPods Pro in-store.

Amazon, meanwhile, is offering the 2nd Generation AirPods Pro for $229. It does promise arrival before Christmas, great when shopping for a gift last-minute.

AirPods Pro 2 sound capabilities

Apple's goal with their next generation AirPods Pro product was to take the immersive experience from the AirPods Max and put them in customers' pockets. They succeeded by providing twice the noise-cancellation ability and improved 6-hour battery life on the buds.

The latest AirPods Pro supports a better Spacial Audio experience by including a new dynamic head tracking for truly immersive sound. It also helps that Apple includes four ear tips so you can find the best fit.

Both the AirPods and MagSafe case are water and sweat resistant with an IPX4 rating. The MagSafe charging case powers up to 30 total listening hours and has precision Find My settings, to help protect against loss.

Plus, you also get audio sharing, touch controls, and some of the best sound available from completely wireless buds.
