Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are "nearly perfect wireless earbuds" according to our review, offering world-class noise cancelation, spatial audio, quality sound and 6-30 hours of battery life. The audio quality is even a bit better. Grab them while you can. This new model sports a USB-C charging case, making them the perfect companion for the iPhone 15.

In our AirPods Max review, we awarded these headphones 4 out of 5 stars and said that they are "exceptional noise-canceling headphones with a luxurious design, sophisticated soundstage and clever computational features." But we also complained about the high $549 price. But with this deal, that issue disappears.

We also like the easy-to-use controls, the crisp and balanced sound and especially Spatial audio support for a surround sound-like experience at home or on the go. The noise cancellation is top-notch, and I've used the AirPods Max on many a plane ride. We just wish there were better case options.

The AirPods Max offer 20 hours of battery life, which is plenty of time for a couple of cross-country flights. And there's a transparency mode for hearing the world around you (when you want to). 

If you're looking for great wireless earbuds, look no further than the AirPods Pro. In our AirPods Pro review, we said these buds offer the best noise-canceling and spatial audio experience for iOS. We also appreciate the volume controls on the right stem and the solid 6-hour battery life and 30 hours with the charging case.

The bottom line is that you need to act fast before these Prime Day deals sell out. These all-time-low prices won't last for long. Also be sure to check out our Prime Day deals live blog for all the best Amazon sales and our Prime Day TV deals live blog for huge savings on the best 4K TVs.
