Black Friday<\/a> might technically be a 24-hour event, but in reality, it\u2019s more like a month-long affair. That\u2019s because many retailers have already begun their sales, including Best Buy, which is dropping impressive deals ahead of its early sales event tomorrow<\/a>. Today only, for example, Best Buy is offering the\u00a0second-gen AirPods Pro<\/strong><\/a> with a USB-C for $169.99 ($80 off)<\/a>, which is just $1 shy of their lowest price to date. Walmart<\/a> is also matching Best Buy\u2019s pricing, though the latter retailer won\u2019t begin offering Black Friday deals until November 11th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The current promo drops Apple\u2019s highest-end earbuds to roughly the same price as the open-style AirPods 4 with ANC<\/a>, which are currently on sale for $168.99 ($11 off)<\/a>. That being said, Apple\u2019s premium earbuds offer more impressive noise cancellation, feature better sound quality overall, and offer a few perks you won\u2019t find in Apple\u2019s cheaper earbuds. They feature intuitive swipe-based controls, for one, and can double as FDA-approved hearing aids<\/a> thanks to the recent rollout of iOS 18.1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Pro also feature a USB-C charging case with a built-in speaker, as do the step-up AirPods 4, which allows you to easily track them down via Apple\u2019s Find My app.\u00a0Both offer wireless charging and exceptionally clear voice call quality, too, relying on a series of machine learning algorithms to isolate your voice in loud environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
