The first time I tried the latest AirPods Pro at Apple's launch event, it was easy to get swept up in the hype. Apple reps know how to make their products feel special, to the point where you're almost fighting not to love them.

Black Friday and AirPods discounts go together like, well, AirPods and iPhones. We thought the latest AirPods Pro were an incredible deal at their recently discounted price of $189, but they’ve dropped even further at Amazon and Walmart,

Amazon has dropped this wrist companion to $149, saving you a hefty $100 off its usual $249 price tag. At 40% off, we’re talking about the most affordable entry point into the Apple Watch ecosystem we’ve seen, and a great excuse to go ahead and start your holiday shopping if you haven’t already.
