Deals: AirPods Pro 2 Available for Low Price of $199.00 ($50 Off)

Are they worth upgrading from the original AirPods Pro?

I'd vote 'no' to that question.

In my experience, not the best in-ear headphones. They fall out of my ears very easily. Tried all sizes of soft ends.

I was surprised, they never fall out of my ears. Surprised because the old style earphones and EarPods always fell out. I think the squishy caps and because they are so light is why they stay in fine.

What Bluetooth headphones or earbuds use replaceable batteries?

Bang & Olufsen makes over-ear headphones with replaceable batteries.

 

[ThunderSkunk]

No more $200 disposable products with non-replaceable batteries for me. Sorry, I'm just not buying them 😂

Was ready to get a pair til you pointed that out. Thanks for the heads up.

Good to see this price for AirPods 2

Now with worse ANC in anticipation for a new model!

Given how subjective hearing is, I have no idea how to evaluate this claim people are making.

My 1st AirPods Pro still have great battery life and I got them at launch.


I ordered the 2nd gen during Black Friday from Best but because it came with Apple care included for under $200

That was true of the previous version too. Worst silicone tips I’ve ever used and constantly fell out. I was able to fix this with the Dekoni bullet foam tips.

The version 2 sounds great, but I have continual connection issues that I never did with the first Gen.

Heck of a deal for one of my favorite pieces of tech ever. Actually decent upgrades over the previous generation, which I still use but wear them while working in the yard and forest while I'm getting really sweaty and dirty and don't mind possibly damaging or losing one. So far so good, although the battery life is really falling off.

I think the next time they upgrade these I'm going to wait for the $50 off sale, lol. I doubt the upgrades will be as significant with gen 3. Probably most of the improvements will be to battery life and USB-C, maybe a new wireless chip to do higher fidelity audio streaming or something.

Meanwhile in Germany: 293€ on Amazon (approx. 315 USD) 😞

 

[David1964]

IMHO, still overpriced.

Nah, you just can’t afford them.

 

[tridley68]

Still too expensive for poor sounding buds

 

[miric]

For easy replaceability, there's https://pqearbuds.com

For something a tiny bit harder, there's the Sony WF1000XM3 and WF1000XM4

Does it work with your eyes?

 

[imola.zhp]

No thanks, I'll keep using my first generation until the 2nd gen with USB-C case comes out. No longer purchasing devices that charge with lightning cables. Yes, I know the case will also wirelessly charge, but still...

Are they worth upgrading from the original AirPods Pro?

Yes, better noise cancellation, better transparency mode, better case, lanyard option, and most importantly, BETTER SOUND!

Meanwhile in Europe it’s ~320 USD. I’d buy one for US$199 in a heartbeat.

You have to witness the before-an-update and after-an-update performance of ANC to notice the relative difference.

 

[Rathakoy86]

No usb-c? I’ll pass.

Who cares.. if you was a real Apple fan you would have bought them when they first came out..

I guess I didn't notice with mine.
