Last chance to buy Apple AirPods Pro at their lowest price EVER – hours left before deal ends
One of the standout offers? A £50 price drop on the Apple AirPods Pro, now available for £179: that's their lowest price ever.
Apple AirPods Pro, £179 (was £229)
The Amazon Prime Day extravaganza, which kicked off on Tuesday (8th July), wraps up at midnight tonight (11th July).
Over the past few days, the Sun Shopping team has been trawling through thousands of deals on the Amazon website.
But let's be honest – not every deal is as good as it seems, with some products holding their 'sale' prices for months.
(That's why you'll only find the genuinely decent drops listed on our best Amazon Prime Day deals page.)
But the AirPods Pro discount is the real deal, making it a solid pick for tech lovers who want to level up their audio.
While this £179 price tag is the cheapest these noise-cancelling earbuds have ever been, it isn't entirely unprecedented.
The same price popped up during last year's Black Friday sale and again in October's Prime Day event.
Still, it's an undeniably great deal on a pair of premium Apple earbuds that are consistently rated among the best in the market.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are packed with features that make them a dream for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
They offer intelligent noise control, blending Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode for an optimal listening experience.
A new Conversation Awareness feature even lowers the volume when you're chatting with someone nearby.
The sound quality is boosted by Apple's H2 chip, delivering crisp highs and powerful bass, while Voice Isolation ensures phone calls are crystal clear, even in noisy environments.
Other standout features include Personalised Spatial Audio for an immersive experience, up to 30 hours of total listening time with the charging case, and easy-to-use touch controls for volume and playback.
The Sun's Tech Editor, Sean Keach, raves about these buds in his hands-on AirPods Pro review, calling them 'a tour-de-force of in-ear audio.'
He highlights the vastly improved noise-cancellation and Transparency Mode, as well as the seamless integration with iPhones.
'They pair and work so seamlessly with an iPhone, it puts other earbuds to shame,' Sean writes.
He also praises the enhanced bass and flexible fit, concluding they're 'impossible to knock at this price.'
With just hours left in this year's Prime Day sale, now's the time to act - just make sure you're signed up to Amazon's perks scheme.
And if you're more over an over-ear fan, it's definitely worth looking at the deal on the Sony WH-100XM4 headphones, which have been reduced from £229 to £268.

Viktor Gyokeres' agent waives fee for brokering deal between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon
Arsenal's long search for a centre-forward is almost over, with the club on the brink an agreement with Sporting CP to sign Viktor Gyokeres. The two clubs are finalising a transfer that is expected to be worth an initial £55 million, with a further £8.5 million in potential add-ons. The breakthrough has come after the striker's agent agreed to waive his cut of the deal, which is thought to be about £6 million. On Sunday night, the clubs were working on the final terms of the add-ons. It emerged last week that Arsenal were prioritising a move for Gyokeres ahead of other attacking targets such as RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. Gyokeres, the former Brighton and Coventry City forward, had made it clear that he wanted to move to north London by not reporting for pre-season training over the past few days. The increasingly fractious relationship between Sporting and Gyokeres has made the deal more complicated for Andrea Berta, Arsenal's sporting director. Last month, the Sporting president said he would not bow down to 'blackmail and insults' amid claims that Gyokeres believed a gentleman's agreement had been disrespected. The Sweden international has been a sensation in Portugal, scoring 97 goals in 102 matches since moving from Coventry in the summer of 2023. A new striker was Arsenal's top priority for this transfer window after they were unable to close deals for Sesko a year ago and Watkins in January. Injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus meant that Mikel Arteta deployed midfielder Mikel Merino as a makeshift No 9 in the second half of last season. If Arsenal complete deals for Gyokeres and Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, who is set to sign for the club in the coming days, it would take their summer transfer spending to more than £170 million. Gyokeres and Madueke would join midfielders Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard as new arrivals. Arsenal have also signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea for £5 million.

Is it any wonder legions of wealthy Brits are leaving – the country is in bleak place under hostile Labour
SO it is goodbye Blighty from me, as I join the legions of Brits leaving these shores. I'm not going because of over-regulation, crippling taxes and a hostile environment to entrepreneurship, but tens of thousands are. 3 Yet there is no denying that during my year writing this Monday column, things have become a lot bleaker for our country — once a shining beacon on the hill for investors and wealth creators. These were successful Brits who paid billions into our coffers but will now prop up public services and state spending elsewhere. They are fleeing a government that has already punished employers and workers alike with the heaviest tax burden in peacetime history, and is now cooking up more years of stealth taxes on income as well as the doomed leftist fantasy of a wealth tax. Is anyone surprised that top earners are scarpering for the Gulf, America or Switzerland? While I will be keeping a beady eye on what's going on here from across the Pond in Trump-land (and keeping you updated in The Sun's pages, too) others who are leaving won't be looking back. Brain drain According to consultants Henley & Partners, who admittedly have a stake in helping well-off business folk relocate, the UK is projected to lose 16,500 millionaires in 2025, which, it says, is double what had been expected. That's one world-beating title we still have, with the UK firmly at the bottom of the global millionaire loser league. We are miles behind even communist China, who are second bottom with a projected 7,800 millionaires taking flight. But it's not just the faceless, nationless super-rich fleeing — many of them have already fled Labour — but aspirational British citizens who are turning their backs on the place they once called home. And it's not just millionaires, either. PM vows to drastically increase the numbers of channel migrants sent back to France As many as 40,000 Brits moved to Dubai last year, with around a quarter of a million expats earning their keep there rather than in our cities. Call it a Taxodus, or a brain drain, or whatever, but there is no logical argument to importing a thousand illegal migrants a week to prop up the black market while watching our best and brightest leave. Or you could just sneer like many Labour MPs seem to, muttering good riddance. But they won't be so cocky when Chancellor Rachel Reeves has to fill the Budget black hole this autumn. The top ten per cent of income tax payers contribute more than 60 per cent of all income tax receipts. The top one per cent pay 29.6 per cent of all income taxes, despite earning just 12.9 per cent of the income. Those with the broadest shoulders are already carrying the biggest load. And yet the drumbeat to hit them even harder to fund unsustainable benefits and healthcare spending is already deafening. But where do you think that money is going to come from if you do not try to lure them to stay and pay instead? Yep, the pain will have to fall on those that DO NOT have the broadest shoulders and on yet more borrowing — cruelly hampering the yet-to-be-born future generations. And on that note it's not just the physical abandonment of Britain that should bring on a fresh bout of tears for the Chancellor. Our £2TRILLION debt mountain is only growing, and getting more expensive to service. Long-term borrowing costs are now consistently higher than during the Liz Truss disaster, but you don't hear the BBC screaming day in day out this time round. The UK was once seen as a safe haven for long-term investment, safe as houses and trustworthy. 'Buying in Britain was like buying in gold,' one banker said to me recently. 'It was a safe option when everything else goes a little crazy.' But now the rug has been pulled, with a government unable to get even the slightest decrease in the rate of public spending through Parliament, let alone a significant cut. And a political class totally lacking in the will, know-how or cojones to be honest with voters about what needs to be done. We have a PM who stood on the steps of Downing Street last year and promised he would be honest and his Government would 'tread more lightly' on its citizens. Yet now, 12 months later, he is too weak to stand up to his own Deputy Prime Minister, who along with Labour's union paymasters, is creating more bureaucracy and red tape for anyone actually trying to employ someone in Britain. Lower wages And who is it going to hurt? Yep, regular workers. A shocking report this week from the Institute of Economic Affairs says business faces a £5billion bill for Angela Rayner's Employment Bill, which will be passed on through lower wages, which have already stagnated for nearly two decades. I was going to try to write something a bit more positive about Britain as my last Monday offering, but now — running out of words — I realise what a struggle that would have been. Of course we are still a great country. We are not yet going cap in hand to the IMF like Labour in the 1970s, and there is still time to turn things around. We've been in tighter spots, we have been more broke — though only when winning two world wars. But recoveries have only happened when there has been leadership and honesty. When vested interests and the unions were stared down rather than given more power. When taxes were cut, and spending brought to heel — despite the screaming, shouting and protests. A time when backbenchers were not caving in at the first whiff of cordite. Business rates can be cut, Brexit exploited, madcap red tape attacks can be ditched, virtue-signalling Net Zero targets can be put in the reality check bin. But only when our politicians wake up. NOT allowing Donald Trump the chance to address Parliament when he visits in September is simple political cowardice. Especially after the red carpet was rolled out for Emmanuel Macron to lecture and hector Britain on Brexit last week during his own state visit. 3 This is the twice democratically elected leader of the free world and President of our closest ally. Caving over fears that hard-Left Labour and anti- Israel Independent MPs could protest or shun the speech is the height of pathetic. And says so much about who is pulling the Government's strings these days.

Pub rates misery blights summer, according to bosses
Pubs are struggling to turn a profit despite the sunny weather as Labour drags its heels on tax reform, bosses have said. Drinkers are flocking to beer gardens for a pint but industry leaders say business rates mean takings are being drained away – despite pledges by Labour to change the system. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has piled on further pain with a rise in employer national insurance contributions that took effect in April. An industry forecast last week showed that one pub could close every single day this year across Britain. Chris Jowsey, the chief executive of Admiral Taverns, said: 'On the face of it, pubs are doing really well because people are spending lots of money but none of it is translating to the bottom line. 'Rather than layering on cost after cost, if they're not careful they're going to make hospitality extremely uninvestable. It's really important that [Labour] do the rates reforms.' Simon Dodd, the boss of chain Young's, said: 'It has gone quite quiet on rates reform, which would help the whole sector. 'Labour came to power with this five-point plan for growth and the thing we would like sorted out is this. All we are asking for is a fair playing field.' He said his 230 pubs in London and the South East are 'really, really busy' thanks to the scorching weather. Dodd added: 'We have broken records, the sun has really helped. The great British pub is alive and kicking. 'That said, if you are an independent operator at the moment, it is very, very hard.' Simon Emeny, chief executive of Fuller's, said: 'An overhaul of our archaic business rates is long overdue, and the truth is that the whole system is not fit for purpose. It was created and introduced at a time when the digital economy was not even a pipe dream and for 14 years the Conservatives put it in the 'too difficult' box. 'We are still awaiting the full details regarding the changes made by the Labour Government at the last Budget – but if the Chancellor thinks this is 'job done', she is a long way off the mark.' Business rates are a local levy based on the value of a commercial property, meaning shops and pubs pay a premium compared to online giants such as Amazon. The hospitality industry was hit by a £500m increase in business rates in April alongside a barrage of other costs imposed by Labour. That included the NI hike and a sharp increase in the minimum wage. Before the Budget, small businesses had called for a Covid-era discount of 75 per cent to be extended to give them some breathing space. But Labour reduced this to a 40 per cent discount, capped at £110,000 per pub.
