In addition to a deal on the first-generation AirPods Pro with MagSafe Charging Case, Verizon is now nearly matching the all-time low price on Apple's brand new AirPods Pro 2. You can get these for $199.99, down from $249.00, which remains just about $2 away from the best price we ever tracked on the accessory.

Although they were around $197 on Woot prior to Black Friday, that sale was very rare and disappeared quickly. The $199.99 price tag has been the most consistent deal on the AirPods Pro 2 all season, and as of today only Verizon is offering the sale with all other retailers having ended their promotions.

Be careful. I tried to get their HomepodMini deal and they called and needed to know my account number and everything.

I have AT&T so they weren't very happy. But there is a special going on for new customers, from what they told me!

Does anyone know if the 2nd gen has the same problem with the internal noise cancellation mics getting loose and causing clicks whenever you take a step? I’ve replaced my 1st gen 4 times so far (they are still under warranty)

Total disappointment, broke thrice by itself, and got replaced, countless connection problems, never fitted well, the device that was the beginning of the end for me, now I think twice before buying an apple product, and mostly prefer to buy others.

Thanks for posting this…I was considering buying a pair just for the better find-my integration, but I’ve had so many problems with the first gen I’ve been hesitant to try again.
 
I have both 1st and second gen, and must say, they are an order of magnitude better.
I never could get gen one to pass the seal test, it still won’t, i tried foam , nothing worked, I push em in they pop right out, and seem to pressure up. and they lacked low end, not talking about boom beats low end, more like an accurate kick drum and lower bass guitar notes.
for some reason the gen2 seals up fine, passed seal test first try, and I bet this also created a flatter frequency response, and suspect internal venting was changed, the gen 2 are not creating pressure when I try to get them to seal up, the way the gen 1 do…..very happy with the upgrade.

for me the audio quality was a huge upgrade. The sale at Best Buy got me. Very Happy with them.
and I do audio engineering. So I have some idea what flat and accurate sound is.

Target chat refused to price match Verizon.com even though they have physical locations. In my case literally right next to Target. Bought on Verizon with the CapOne Venture 7.5% discount on Apple gear. Go to pick up from the Verizon store. One guy working. Three customers waiting for cellular help. How fun.
 
I have never been able to wear any earbuds with silicone tips. They itch, make me break out, and end up hurting my ears before I can even complete my silly instructions to have Siri stand on her head and gargle peanutbutter while reciting the US Bill of Rights.
