Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: AirPods Pro 2 With USB-C Hit $199.99 Low Price ($49 Off) [Updated]

[MacRumors]

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days has ended, but a major discount is still available on a popular model of AirPods. You can get the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C/MagSafe Charging Case for $199.99, down from $249.00.

Apple just launched these earbuds last month and their headlining new feature is the addition of a USB-C port on the MagSafe Charging Case, replacing the Lightning port. This price is now a solid second-best deal on the earbuds.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) for $199.99 ($49 OFF)​

There are a few minor changes to the AirPods Pro 2 besides the addition of USB-C, including additional dust resistance and support for lossless audio with the Vision Pro headset. Apple doesn't sell the USB-C/MagSafe Charging Case separately, so if you want USB-C support you'll have to purchase a full new set of earbuds.

We will continue to track Prime Early Access deals as the event continues, so be sure to keep an eye on our front page for more news. Remember that you can sign up for Amazon Prime for free for one month to take advantage of the deals.

Update: On October 10, Amazon provided an even steeper discount on the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, so this article has been updated to reflect that new price.
Update 2: On October 12, the price of the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C returned to $199.99, and this article reflects that change.

I don't know about that as I have a service that takes care of my yard.

Pretty good deal if you're looking to jump from the first generation...

If you have the second generation (lighting) there is no value in upgrading unless you absolutely (for whatever reason) need USB C.

I have my second gen lightning version and will be another two years before I need another pair... my batteries on all Pro AirPods have lasted really well indeed.

Black Friday/Holiday sales are just around the corner. Should sell for $180 as the lightning version did.

This is just Amazon matching Target who also has it for the same $199.99 price (extra 5% off with RedCard).

If you have the second generation (lighting) there is no value in upgrading unless you absolutely (for whatever reason) need USB C.

Or want support for lossless audio when used with the Vision Pro

Where are the USB-C Magic Keyboard and Trackpad?

Is money the reason or is there something technical that I'm missing?

I won’t lie though. Having USB C is nice. I’m now one cable for everything.

I agree, it is nice and especially when you’re traveling and don’t want to carry too many cables.

For now I’m fine to keep using my lightning accessories until they are worn out.

Maybe supply, but money seems more likely.

It’s when you start talking, not someone else: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT213884

I guess it’ll interfere with singing along with the music you’re listening to.

I just today bought the new AirPod Pros at Target for $199.99, Amazon's late to the game.

Can confirm. I’ve already disabled the feature. Lol

Apple will work down inventories of the Lightning versions and then USB-C will simply take over... probably at different times for those based solely on minimizing the scenario of getting "stuck" with surplus Lightning versions.

And people would happily buy those at a hefty discount…

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Yes, as shared elsewhere in this thread, nothing wrong with the Lightning versions. Apparently they are very nearly the same with perhaps some difference in the H1/2-chip inside to facilitate lossless audio when used with Vpro.

Lightning fans: grab 'em while you can. I have some myself and will use them until the wheels fall off.
