If you've been eyeing a pair of Apple's AirPods earbuds, this is the time to seal the deal, as prices appear to be hitting all-time lows on several models thanks to Black Friday deals.

Right now you can get the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C charging case for just $189 at Amazon, which is $60 off. That's the lowest price we've seen since this particular version of the AirPods Pro arrived earlier this fall and one of the best Black Friday headphones deals yet.

Update Nov. 22: The AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C is still $189 at Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.

The new USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2 have the same H2 chip as the other AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. That provides 2x more noise cancellation that the original model, and this 2023 version supports Apple's new lossless audio protocol that will debut with the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset in 2024. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience.

Essentially a version of the regular AirPods Pro 2 only with a USB-C charging case, these AirPods do introduce some other differences. The newer model of the second-generation AirPods Pro feature a difference in their acoustic architecture that produces a small uptick in audio quality. Furthermore, these AirPods feature lossless audio support, though that will only work with the Apple Vision Pro headset coming out next year.

The AirPods Pro 2 weren't the only Apple earbuds catching my eye this weekend. If you're looking for a big discount on wireless earbuds, the second-generation AirPods with charging case have dropped to $79, matching their all-time low. Normally, Amazon sells this model for $129.

The 3rd-generation AirPods last longer on a charge and feature spatial audio support, but that $79 price is hard to beat.

AirPods are typically among the Apple products that see the heaviest discounts during Black Friday. Follow our Apple Black Friday deals hub for the latest savings. And remember, that Apple's Black Friday sale launches November 23, in which the company will offer a $75 gift card when you buy any AirPods model.
