I was a little late to the party when it came to the AirPods Pro, as I tended to favor over-ear headphones, such as the still excellent Sony WH-1000XM3. But this year I was handed a pair of AirPods Pro to try out and was very impressed. As our AirPods Pro review highlights, the earbuds combine a modern, functional design with very impressive sound quality and some solid active noise cancelling. My experience with the AirPods Pro also reflected this. And I even warmed to the design, despite tending to prefer the more bullet-like earbud design such as that sported by the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus. While the lack of a dedicated app to customize the sound profiles of the AirPods Pro is a little frustrating, as are the limited trio of ear tips provided in the box, I’ve found that the AirPods Pro are the pair of wireless earbuds I reach for first when leaving my apartment. And with no sign of the AirPods Pro 2, I definitely think the AirPods Pro are worth getting right now, especially at this discounted price. But if you miss this deal, then check out our round up of the best cheap AirPods deals.
