An Apple AirPods Pro 2 upgrade is the capability to use the earbuds as hearing aid. Changes in U.K. regulations mean Apple will upgrade the software imminently.

Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 earbuds are on sale for $180 via Amazon. This is the first serious discount of the year and represents a savings of 28 percent. It's not a record-low, but it’s darn close. The AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have made a real name for themselves since originally launching back in 2022.

The H2 chip at the heart of these earbuds delivers twice the active noise cancellation power of the original AirPods Pro, making them significantly better at blocking out unwanted background noise. Whether you’re trying to focus in a busy office or find some peace during your commute, the difference is noticeable.

Apple said that it would be launching Powerbeats Pro 2 in 2025, and it appears the wireless earbuds are coming very soon.

These under-$200 AirPods Pro 2 have a USB-C charger, they’re mag-safe, and you’ll get about six hours of battery life from the earbuds and 30 from the case. Best of all, the case has Apple’s U1 chip, so you can track it like an AirTag.

The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro wireless earbuds are Anker's most advanced to date, featuring a host of design and hardware upgrades, all while keeping a reasonable price. The noise-canceling buds cost $129.
