Apple AirPods Pro — $200, was $250

Digital Trends

The best AirPods Apple has made so far, the Apple AirPods Pro are down to just $200 right now. That’s a saving of $50 on the usual price, which is a deal we’ve seen before elsewhere but always a welcome one for those looking for new wireless earbuds. In our Apple AirPods Pro review, we appreciated how great the sound quality is thanks to the earbuds’ adaptive EQ feature which means your listening experience is tweaked according to your ear shape. They also offer great active noise cancellation features plus they’re super comfortable.

If your budget is a little tighter but you still want some of the benefits of AirPods, there’s always the standard Apple AirPods. They’re not quite as good as the Pros but they’re just $130 thanks to a $30 saving on the usual price. You still get great sound quality (although no noise cancellation) and a wireless charging case that means around 24 hours of listening time before you need to find a power source. They’re great value at this price.

HP 17.3-inch Notebook — $450, was $550

Staples

With a $100 saving working out at nearly 20% off, this HP 17.3-inch laptop just got more appealing if you could do with some extra screen space. For the money, you get an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory, 128GB of SSD storage, plus a 1TB hard drive for extra storage needs. Due to the nature of the larger screen, this isn’t the most portable of laptops but it still proudly boasts an up to nine-hour battery life which should be good for most purposes. HP Fast Charge technology means you can go from 0% to 50% charge in about 45 minutes, too, which is useful.

HP 27-inch LED Monitor — $125, was $200

Staples

If your home office could do with a larger screen for the new year then this HP 27-inch LED Monitor is a great choice. Ordinarily priced at $200, it’s down to just $125 representing a saving of 37%. It offers a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 with a viewing angle of 178 degrees whether horizontal or vertical so it’s ideal to fit into your home office setup. VGA and HDMI ports mean you can easily hook it up with a minimum of hassle. A response rate of 5ms is the icing on the cake for this well-priced monitor.

Staples Emerge Vortex Leather Gaming Chair — $130, was $200

Staples

AirPods Pro 2 haven’t gone back to full price since Prime Day

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe are originally priced at $249, but they've been available with a discount from Amazon since Prime Day in July. They're on sale right now at $190, which isn't as cheap as from the AirPods deals of the shopping event when they were going for $169, but the $59 discount is still a pretty nice score for these premium wireless earbuds. However, the longer this trend goes on, the higher the chance that the streak ends and they go back to their regular price. If you want to take advantage of the savings, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe
The lowered price of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe likely remains because of the launch of the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, which brought active noise cancellation to the entry-level AirPods. The feature was previously only available in the AirPods Pro line. However, because the Apple AirPods Pro 2 come with silicone eartips, they do a superior job at preventing you from hearing unwanted noise. Both models of wireless earbuds offer USB-C charging, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature a force sensor that translates swipes into volume adjustments, and overall better sound quality for listening to music and taking calls.

Now's a fantastic time to buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, as the wireless earbuds are on sale at $59 off from Amazon in its early Prime Big Deal Days. From their original price of $249, they're down to a more affordable $190 in an offer that may no longer be available when the shopping event starts on Oct. 8. If you want to take advantage of this 24% discount, you're going to have to be quick because their price may go back to normal at any moment.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C
The recently announced Apple AirPods 4 is getting a lot of attention as the first model in the series to offer active noise cancellation, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C is still our recommendation for Apple fans in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds. Compared to the Apple AirPods 4, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C feature eartips that really seal in the sound, which makes their ANC more effective. They're also more comfortable to wear, so you'll be able to maximize their battery life of up to six hours with ANC enabled, and up to 30 hours with their charging case.

The iPhone 16 event had a few surprises. Not only are the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models available for preorder, but Apple is also treating the world to a new version of the AirPods Max, the company’s only pair of closed-back ANC headphones.
