Amazon Prime Day is here, giving Prime members exclusive access to deals across categories like tech, beauty and kitchen. If you’re in need of new wireless earbuds, Apple AirPods Pro 2 are currently steeply discounted. They are an NBC Select Wellness Awards winner, and my favorite earbuds for anyone with an iPhone, and are over 40% off while supplies last.

What to know

What we like
  • Versatile and comfortable
  • Excellent noise cancellation
Something to note
  • Lesser battery life

These earbuds are comfortable, lightweight and compact — I can easily fit them in any shirt or pants pocket. And I want to bring them everywhere because they have excellent noise cancellation and transparency modes. When noise cancellation is activated, subway noise and office chatter seamlessly fade away, and the transparency mode is clear enough that I can have conversations with no issues. When paired with an iPhone, they have additional features like Apple’s Find My app and Hearing Aid support.

AirPods Pro 2 comes with four ear tip sizes in the box, giving you plenty of options to get the most comfortable fit for your ears possible.

At 40% off, this AirPods Pro 2 deal is only a few dollars shy of the best price we’ve seen.

NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez has used AirPods Max for years — she loves their excellent sound quality and strong noise canceling and transparency modes. This deal matches the lowest price we’ve seen on this latest model.

AirPods 4 are a great alternative to AirPods Pro 2 especially if you want a more affordable price and you don’t like the feeling of rubber eartips. The AirPods 4 semi-open fit may feel more comfortable, though they let in more outside noise as a result.
