The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are currently on offer at a number of top shops.
Owners of Apple devices who are considering enhancing their music and streaming experiences can currently bag the AirPods Pro 2 at a significantly reduced price. Typically priced at £229, these earphones have been slashed to their lowest price since Black Friday at five major retailers.
Argos, Currys, Amazon, EE, and Very have all knocked £40 off the sought-after device, bringing the price down to £189. This 17 per cent saving makes it an ideal time to purchase the AirPods, especially as they remain full price on the official Apple website.
The AirPods Pro 2 come with an in-built Active Noise Cancellation feature, making them handy for use when communicating, exercising or on the move. Additionally, their ‘Adaptive Audio’ feature ensures the right balance of noise control in any setting.

They also boast a ‘Transparency mode’ allowing users to be aware of their surroundings, and a ‘Conversation Awareness’ tool that automatically reduces the volume when conversing with someone nearby.
The case is sweat and water-resistant too. The AirPods also provide clinical-grade support for ‘perceived mild to moderate hearing loss’, reports the Mirror.

The AirPods Pro 2 from Apple are an unsurprisingly popular choice, and they have racked up over 15,000 reviews on Amazon, where they boast an impressive 4.6-star rating.
One five-star reviewer said: “Just bought my first set of these pods, all I can say is they are brilliant, well worth the money. I would highly recommend them.”
A second shopper raved that the AirPods Pro 2 ‘knock the socks off’ previous AirPod generations, saying: “I use these a lot. The noise cancelling is brilliant, as is the quality of the sound.
“I stopped using my Bose headphones. It really is a step up from the older AirPods. Took me by surprise compared to the other ones.”
However, another buyer, though impressed, mentioned connectivity issues with non-Apple devices. They said: “I use an iPhone and iPad, but also a Windows laptop and an Android phone.
“With the latter two devices, the AirPods don’t work consistently. Sometimes the sound quality is poor, sometimes the microphone doesn’t work.
“You need to rely on a third-party app to see the battery, etc. So if you’re not fully into the Apple ecosystem, it’s best to choose another option.”
But another satisfied customer said: “Brilliant. I thought the original AirPod Pros were good, but these provide much better noise cancellation.
“The hearing aid functionality works well, too. I have some hearing loss, and while I wouldn’t want these as a replacement for proper hearing aids. They work well as a temporary substitute and are ideal for (e.g) watching television with a partner who doesn’t want the sound turned up loud.”
