Save $60: As of March 11, the AirPods Pro are down to a record low price of $189 at Walmart — that's a 24% discount on their $249 MSRP. For just 99 cents more at $189.99, you can also pick up these noise-cancellling earbuds from Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
If last week's drop of the new M3 MacBook Air didn't excite you, there's another Apple drop that might. A price drop, that is.
As of March 11, the USB-C AirPods Pro are on sale for just $189 at Walmart, cutting their $249 price tag by $60 and bringing them down to their lowest price ever. If you're not a fan of Walmart, you can also grab them at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy for just 99 cents more at $189.99.
The USB-C AirPods Pro dropped in fall 2023, with virtually all the same features as the second-generation Lightning AirPods Pro (released in 2022), except for one key feature: you guessed it, the USB-C charging port. Smaller updates include improved dust resistance, with a rating of IP54, and a claim of support for lossless audio with the Apple Vision Pro (which we've yet to verify for ourselves).
Considering we've been big fans of the second-gen AirPods Pro since their release, we weren't upset to see the minimal changes as Apple finally updates their charging ports. Their noise-cancellation makes them our top pick for noise-cancelling earbuds overall as well as some of the best earbuds to take with you on a plane.
Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder found that the sound on these earbuds impressed, even after putting them through "a very diverse palette of genres, mostly on Apple Music's highest quality settings." As for the battery life, it's decent but not amazing at six hours per charge (but you do get 30 hours overall with the case).
As for how future proof these earbuds are, we aren't anticipating any major hardware upgrades on the Pros this year, but it does look like they will be getting a hearing aid feature, to be implemented alongside iOS 18.
It is worth noting, though these earbuds are at a great price, if you already own the second-gen Lightning Pros, Schroeder wrote in his USB-C Pro review that "upgrading is not worth it (unless you really cannot stand the Lightning port)."
