Amazon's Spring Sale may be over but you can still snag AirPods Pros for $50 off

As I'm writing about Apple AirPods Pro, my Apple AirPods Pro are snug in my ears. Yep, pretty meta. Even funnier? I used to scoff at spending over $50 on headphones. But once I tried AirPods ... I got what the hype was about — now there's no turning back. With features like active noise cancelling, transparency mode, and conversation detection, these AirPods Pro have barely left my ears since the day I first popped them in — whether I’m working, at the gym, or skiing. And yes, even writing.

Look, I get it — $250 is a lot to drop on earbuds. But thanks to this deal at Amazon, you won't have to. They're $50 off right now. For something I use every single day and that actually lasts? That's a no-brainer.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

AirPods Pro are some of the most sought-after earbuds on the market, and at 20% off, they're a lot more attainable. (If Pros are still too rich for your blood, check out our comprehensive review of AirPods Pro alternatives under $100 — there's something for everyone.)

Why do I need these? 🤔

Big ears, small ears — doesn't matter. Unlike the original one-size-fits-most AirPods, the Pros come with silicone tips in multiple sizes, so you can finally get a snug, comfortable fit that won't pop out mid-run or during a Zoom call. They even include a built-in ear-tip fit test to help you figure out which size works best for your unique ear shape. (If you want to know more about how these compare with the previous generation, read our full review.)

The real magic, though, is the active noise cancellation. Whether you're trying to drown out chatty coworkers or airplane engine hum, these buds are shockingly good at shutting out the world. Battery life also got a serious upgrade — up to six hours on a single charge, plus another 24 with the included wireless charging case.

And while these are made with Apple users in mind (they sync effortlessly with your iPhone, iPad, MacBook — you name it), they play nice with Android phones and Windows laptops. So no matter what ecosystem you're in, you're covered.

What reviewers say 💬

These AirPods Pro have more than 19,000 five-star fans, and with over 10,000 pairs bought in the past month, it's safe to say Apple has a hit on its hands.

Pros 👍

If there's one reason to pick up a pair of AirPods Pro, it's the sound, shoppers say. "They've exceeded my expectations in every way," one fan raved. "The sound quality is exceptional, with a rich, balanced audio profile that makes listening to music and podcasts a joy. The noise cancellation feature is also significantly improved, effectively blocking out background noise even in busy environments."

"Wow, these things are next level!" said a second shopper. "The Bluetooth connection is seamless as always, and the active noise cancellation is ridiculously good — like, the world just melts away when you put them in. Perfect for noisy commutes or when you just want some peace and quiet. One feature that surprised me is the new hearing aid feature. If you need a little boost for conversations or specific sounds, it really helps. And when you don't want to be fully isolated, the transparency mode is super clear — lets you hear what's happening around you without having to take the earbuds out."

Another customer said, "I bought these mainly for the noise cancellation feature. It works great and much better compared to Beats. It's on par with Bose noise cancellation."

As for how they feel, one shopper had this to say: "They fit securely and comfortably in my ears, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort."

Cons 👎

The biggest complaint about the Pros? Battery life. Even though it's longer than previous generations, fans want more: "Battery life is sufficient, though it wouldn't hurt if it could last an extra hour or so for longer flights."

Some people do find it difficult for the buds to stay in their ears. "I just wish they didn't always feel like they were going to fall out. Apple, I don't even care if you add a piece that goes around the outside of my ear. Just make them stay in."

If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
