We've seen this new model briefly fall this low a few times since <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-airpods-pro-now-come-with-a-usb-c-charging-case-175348512.html">arriving in September[/url], and there's at least some chance it could drop farther by Black Friday, but the discount is still $60 less than Apple's usual price. It also beats the deal <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-upgraded-2nd-gen-airpods-pro-with-usb-c-are-50-off-right-now-182421286.html">we saw[/url] over the weekend by $10.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a refresher, this variant of the AirPods Pro comes with a USB-C charging case to match the <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-iphone-15-review-the-most-substantial-update-to-the-regular-iphone-in-years-173204712.html">latest crop of iPhones[/url]. It technically has a higher IP54 dust-resistance rating and will support lossless audio with the upcoming <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-vision-pro-hands-on-a-new-milestone-for-mixed-reality-060943291.html">Vision Pro headset[/url] as well. Other than that, though, it's essentially the same as the Lightning-based model that Apple launched last year.&nbsp;</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>That's not a bad thing: We gave that pair a <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/airpods-pro-review-second-generation-130048218.html">review score of 88[/url] at launch for its effective active noise cancellation (ANC), pleasantly warm sound, superb transparency mode and easy pairing with other Apple devices. You really need to be a dedicated Apple user to get the most out of it but, if so, perks like Find My tracking and hands-free Siri can also be useful. A <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/airpods-pro-adaptive-audio-preview-automatically-adjusting-to-your-day-130051605.html">software update last month[/url] added a few new helpful features as well, including an "Adaptive Audio" mode that blends the ANC and transparency modes based on your surroundings and can automatically lower the volume when you start speaking to somebody else.</p>
<p>We wouldn't call the AirPods Pro the best wireless earbuds overall: Their six-ish hours of battery life is just average, there's no way to customize the EQ and the touch controls take some getting used to. If you want a similar pair that's more suitable for the gym, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:10;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0JlYXRzLUZpdC1Qcm8tQ2FuY2VsbGluZy1CdWlsdC9kcC9CMEJUSzVYUEY2P3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTR2ei0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMTIyNjk5NmMtMjkwYy00YjczLWJmOGMtZjQ2M2M5ZDQ3OTAwIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAZ_Qw__Pp8IhDrXVSvr4_yMvD-hGyyttREUOdEoyurNq&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBeats-Fit-Pro-Cancelling-Built%2Fdp%2FB0BTK5XPF6" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/Beats-Fit-Pro-Cancelling-Built/dp/B0BTK5XPF6">Beats Fit Pro[/url] (which is <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/the-beats-fit-pro-earbuds-drop-back-down-to-a-record-low-ahead-of-black-friday-101752253.html">also on sale[/url]) would be a better choice.
