Save 28% Apple users will be impressed with the Airpods Pro 2. Connectivity is instant, they're comfortable and the awareness mode is great for using outdoors when you need to be aware of what's going on around you.

This deal price is not quite the lowest it's been this year when the Airpods Pro 2 dropped to $168.99 for Amazon Prime Day. However, this is still a worthy offer and the cheapest price we can find at the moment.

Our reviewer was highly impressed with the sound quality of the Airpods Pro 2 and their instant connection to Apple devices when removed from their charging case. He also praised them for their all-day comfort levels, while the noise canceling and awareness modes work really well too.

You don't have to worry about them fitting your ears, either. Should you find the Airpods come loose while running or during workouts, a pair of cheap third-party wing tips will solve that problem.

The Airpods Pro 2 have an IPX4 waterproof rating which means they are protected from splashes. While some models are rated to IP57, which means they can be submerged in 3ft of water for 30 minutes, this is overkill unless you are extremely unlucky.

You can switch listening modes, rewind or fast-forward, and access Siri easily by using the stem controls. There's also a handy find my earbuds option on your Apple device.

They are not recommended for Android owners though, the Jabra Elite 4 Active is our top choice if that's you.
