The second generation of AirPods Pro was launched in September 2022, with a revised version introduced last year with a USB-C charging case replacing Lightning. Two years later, the AirPods Pro 2 remain my favorite wireless earbuds, and are probably the best you can buy right now.

The Black Friday AirPods Pro deal discounts the 2nd Gen model with USB-C to $153.99, a $96 markdown and the lowest price on record.

Noise cancelling is quoted as being twice as good on the AirPods Pro 2 too, meaning if you spend a lot of time commuting on busy trains, or find yourself jet-setting around the globe on flights often, you'll appreciate the more effect noise cancelling, as well as the better passive noise isolation granted by the adjustable ear tips.
