Target is currently matching Online...
"$153.99 reg $249.99, Sale save $96.00 (38% off)
When purchased online (The price may differ if you buy an item in your local store)."

If you have a Target card, you get an additional 5% discount so ~$146.30.
Order online then go pick up at the discounted price.
Tempting to get a new spare at that price but going to wait until next year for possible APP3.
Not… really… the 5% discount just cancels out the tax. So instead of $154 plus tax, it’s $154 flat.
 
Such a stupidly good deal. Ever since my company had us return to the office, my lightning AP2 have helped me retain my sanity. The ANC isn’t perfect, but it definitely helps muffle my coworkers and also makes any ventilation noises vanish completely.

I wish I could justify getting a USB-C set, but these are working perfectly and my Apple Watch charger works nicely to keep the case topped up.
 
Waiting for Black Friday just to see if it goes to or beyond $100 off. Killer deal either way. My old AirPods Pro battery isnt great anymore.

This price is low enough for me to upgrade my aging 1st-gens.
I did that earlier this year because one of the airpods batteries was shot. It's a huge upgrade. Much better lows and mids, plus the ANC, conversation awareness, and a bunch of other features. I think they also just generally stay in my ears much better with the large tips. You won't be disappointed!

Best Buy just lowered to $159.99 USD.

With Best Buy and Target, you can also request them to match Amazon's price when you purchase them.
I went to my local Bestbuy store to check on Monitors and saw AirPods at $159 and I planned to purchase this week AirPods 4 ANC, I just grabbed the AirPods Pro 2 without thinking, its even cheaper than 4 ANC
 
Great deal. Even better than what was offered a few days ago. No reason to buy the new AirPods 4 with ANC. This will be the perfect AirPods to buy.

Why does @AeroEd disagree with your experience?

Yet they are "on sale" for £179 GBP on Amazon UK, which is practically the full US RRP. We get ripped off as usual, shame as I would definitely have got a pair at the GBP equivalent of $154.
Price in the US does not include tax which is around 10%
 
We got two pair through Target at the $153.99 price less 5% making them $146.29 each.

But I sure hope they fix the Noise Canceling issue that has cropped up.




Seems like iOS 18 and firmware updates screwed up the Noise Canceling.
The complaints about ANC magically changing are starting to feel like 'is Safari snappier' posts. People see an update, pay closer attention than normal, and then notice something they hadn't noticed prior.
 
Regular AirPod price should be $99
AirPods Pro price should be $149

And Apple would still make tons of money from them, and would sell way more AirPods.
