Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro with USB-C are matching their all-time low

Apple’s “Scary Fast” Mac event came and went with little mention of the company’s flagship wireless earbuds — or few other products, for that matter. That isn’t all that surprising given Apple introduced a new pair of AirPods Pro just over a month ago. And now, shortly after receiving a steep Prime Day discount, the second-gen AirPods Pro with USB-C support are back down to $189.99 ($60 off) at Amazon and Target.

On the spec front, there’s little separating the new AirPods Pro from the second-gen model Apple launched last year. The latest edition adds dust resistance for some added peace of mind, though their marquee feature is undoubtedly a new MagSafe case that charges via USB-C instead of a Lightning port. The new AirPods Pro, like the previous model, also support Adaptive Audio and all the new software features Apple recently rolled out via iOS 17, which, in my humble opinion, are a far bigger deal than the underlying charging technology on the case (sorry, USB-C stans).

Black Friday is still several weeks away, but that hasn’t stopped many retailers from rolling out a deluge of holiday-centric deals in the run-up to the main event. Best Buy, for example, is offering a slate of early Black Friday deals through November 17th, with new discounts dropping on a rolling basis alongside other deals. There’s plenty on offer already, too, including LG’s 48-inch A2 OLED, which is on sale at Best Buy for an all-time low of $549.99 ($750 off) for a limited time.

In terms of pricing, it’s hard to find a cheaper OLED TV than LG’s entry-level A2. It’s not as feature-rich as LG’s pricier models — including both the C3 and G3 panels — but the 4K TV still manages to offer exceptional value if you’re someone who can get away with a smaller 48-inch panel for your living room or bedroom. The main difference between the A2 and LG’s higher-end models is that the A2 is capped at a 60Hz refresh rate and lacks HDMI 2.1 support for gaming, neither of which should be an issue if you’re primarily going to use it to watch movies and TV shows. It still packs the deep black levels and rich contrast we’ve come to expect from OLED technology, regardless of your viewing angle.
