UPDATE 12 July: this deal is now over and the AirPods are now $199 at Amazon.

Amazon Prime Day is coming up next Tuesday and Wednesday, 16 and 17 July, so you might be tempted to hold off on any tech purchases until then. But with five days still to go to the big sale, the online retailer has just slashed the price of Apple AirPods Pro 2 to a record low of $169.

Overview: We think the Apple AirPods Pro 2 deliver both style and substance. We love the minimalist design and shorter stems, while sound quality is excellent, the active noise cancellation is effective, they're water and sweat resistant, and there's touch control for easy access to controls.

Key features: Active Noise Cancellation | Personalised Spatial Audio | Touch Control | USB-C charging and MagSafe Charging Case |Four pairs of tips included

Release date: September 2022. 

Price history: Apple's retail price for the AirPods Pro (2 Gen) is $249. The earbuds are regularly on offer at third-party sellers, but usually with discounts of up to $59. The lowest price we had come across until now was $179.99 last month, also at April. That was a one-off, so we think it's very unlikely that the price will be cut and more than this.

Price comparison: Best Buy $249.99 | B&H Photo $229

Review consensus: Our reviewer gave these earbuds 4.5 stars, praising the efficiency of the active noise cancellation as well as the richness of the sound quality provided. We also welcomed the improved case and excellent battery life.
