Apple AirPods Pro 2 down to cheapest price in a year for Amazon for Prime Day
Amazon's Prime Week is upon us, and for Apple enthusiasts looking to bag a bargain, the AirPods Pro 2 are available at a steal. Indeed, one of Apple's most sought-after earbuds is currently priced at €207 - the lowest it's been in the past year, according to Amazon. In total, Apple aficionados can relish a hefty 22 per cent discount. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are top-tier noise-cancelling earbuds on the market - ideal for bustling commutes, travel, or simply drowning out background chatter. The Pro 2s also boast the new H2 chip which helps to create deeply immersive sound. The low-distortion, custom-built driver delivers crisp, clear high notes and full, rich bass in stunning definition. Voice Isolation enhances the quality of phone calls in noisy environments. They also cut out more background noise to protect your hearing, reports the Mirror. They can even be used to check your hearing, following a free update introduced in February this year. The Hearing Aid feature includes a clinically validated hearing test and a hearing profile that applies to all the music and podcasts you listen to. But there are plenty of alternatives on the market to choose from, both discounted in Amazon's biggest sale of the year and elsewhere. For a cheaper price, the JBL Tune Beam Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds in black for €57.91 offer noise-cancelling at a much cheaper price as well as 12 hours of battery life. Meanwhile on Amazon, tech shoppers can get Soundcore by Anker's P20i wireless earbuds at a 47% discount, down to €18.58, with the affordable model having an average rating of 4.4 stars out of 5 from over 65,000 reviews. For those eyeing a deal on Apple earbuds, the AirPods 4 are available on Amazon for €130.91. Although they are the more budget-friendly and recently updated option, note they do not feature noise cancellation. In the Daily Express, tech experts reviewed the Apple AirPods Pro 2 upon their release and were impressed by their amazing sound and effective noise cancellation, giving them a top score. In the review, Dave Snelling, tech editor, said: "AirPods Pro 2 arrive with superior noise-cancellation, better sound quality, longer battery life, and a new way to find them when they (inevitably) disappear down the side of your sofa. Apple has also added the ability to control volume from the stem of each AirPod, which saves you the hassle of reaching for your iPhone when you want to pump the bass. "Elsewhere, AirPods Pro 2 – also known as "2nd Generation" – can be recharged using an Apple Watch charger (as well as Lightning cable, and standard Qi wireless charging) and can be used with a lanyard loop to attach to your belongings." The reviewer praised the new AirPods Pro 2, stating: "We've been wearing the new AirPods Pro 2 on our daily commute, and they sound very impressive. Sound is rich, plus the improved Active Noise-Cancellation (ANC) cuts out almost all annoying background noise, so you won't have to have your favourite album, audiobook or podcast cranked up to 11 to hear it on the train. We were already huge fans of the original AirPods Pro, and this latest refresh only makes things better." However, they also expressed concerns about the price, saying that even with the 20% discount for Prime Day, the £179 price tag remains a significant investment. They also criticised the lack of colour options, saying: "At £249, Apple's wireless 'buds are ludicrously expensive and it's a shame Apple still refuses to introduce some much-needed colour – AirPods Pro are only available in plain white. Unlike some other wireless earbuds, there's no EQ in the settings so you won't be able to adjust the audio to suit your tastes."

Apple AirPods' 'standout' hearing aid feature leaves users 'shocked' amid £40 price cut
"I absolutely love my Apple AirPods Pro 2! These are by far the best wireless earbuds I've ever used." While there are many different wireless earbuds and headphones on the market, Apple is known to lead the way when it comes to sound quality and noise cancelling technology. However, with so many budget-friendly models out there, it can sometimes be difficult to justify spending a hefty amount of money on the latest Apple AirPods. Thankfully, Amazon has tried to make this pressure a bit easier as they have knocked £40 off the Apple AirPods Pro 2 in a limited time deal. Normally retailing for £229, Amazon shoppers can now snap up the popular earbuds for £189. Bought by over 4,000 people in the last 30 days, these AirPods are becoming increasingly popular as they now boast an impressive hearing aid feature. These compact devices now hold the world's first all-in-one hearing health experience. This is made up of a scientifically validated hearing test and clinical-grade, active hearing protection. While many reviewers who require hearing aids were shocked by how well the AirPods Pro 2 worked for them, other shoppers were impressed by the active noise cancellation that is said to remove twice the amount of noise compared to older models. Another plus for the Pro 2s is the H2 chip that helps the earbuds create a deeply immersive sound with rich bass and clear high notes. Additionally, the earbuds come with voice isolation so users can also have quality phone calls even when in busy environments. Along with the MagSafe Charging Case, Apple users will get up to 30 hours of listening time with the noise cancellation enabled, allowing them to go about their day without fear of the AirPods dying in the middle of an activity. The device also comes with four pairs of sized silicone tips so users can make sure the earbuds fit securely. Apple AirPods Pro 2 £229 £189 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Alternatively, Amazon has also cut the price of their own Echo Buds down from £129.99 to only £54.99. Saving shoppers £75, these earbuds are said to offer premium sound and are equipped with a noise cancelling feature. However, users will only get 15 hours of playback with the charging case. For those looking for something budget friendly and with a long battery life, Argos is selling the JLab GO Air Wireless Earbuds for £24.99. With a 4.5 star rating from over 3,000 reviewers, these earbuds have a playback time of up to 32 hours with the charging case and can still work within a 10m range. In terms of the Apple AirPods Pro 2, they have received over 15,000 global reviews which has resulted in a 4.6-star rating. Many shoppers have praised the earbuds for their quality sound, with some reporting positive experiences with the hearing aid function. One five-star reviewer said: "I absolutely love my Apple AirPods Pro 2! These are by far the best wireless earbuds I've ever used. The sound quality is incredible crisp highs, deep lows, and overall a rich, high-fidelity experience. Whether I'm listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, the audio is always clear and immersive. "The Hearing Aid feature is another standout. It works incredibly well for adjusting sound based on the environment, which adds a whole new layer of convenience for daily use." Another also praised: "These AirPods are amazing. I wear hearing aids and thought I would give these a try to replace my aids. I am truly shocked they are amazing. I did the hearing test and then put them in my ears. The result was so good. "However I thought this is easy wearing them indoors, what about out and about. So I went and did a grocery shop. I completely forgot that I wasn't wearing my normal aids. I could hear everything and had no problem talking to people." However, another reviewer was not impressed by the audio, writing: "Sound quality not as mind-blowing as people say. If you're an audiophile, go elsewhere. Most of your money here goes on gimmickry such as head gestures and auto-transparency, neither of which are useful in the real world. Bass and richness is lacking." Despite this, another hearing aid user wrote: "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."
