Apple AirPods Pro are some of the most popular earbuds around but they’re not just fashionable because they look the part. These miniature buds also sound as good as they look. In fact, the AirPods Pro 2 currently top our ranking of the best wireless earbuds you can buy.
Naturally, we’re on the hunt for epic AirPods deals regardless of the season, and we’ve just spotted a seriously good idea courtesy of Walmart’s massive Spring sale. But be quick as the last time AirPods Pro dropped to this price, the deal didn’t stick around for very long.
Right now, Apple AirPods Pro 2 are on sale for $199 at Walmart. That’s a $50 saving compared to the full retail price of the premium wireless earbuds. This is one of the best Apple deals you can score right now, and we’re not expecting to see a big discount next month during the Memorial Day sales period.
Apple AirPods 2 — what you need to know
Key features: Wireless earbuds, active noise cancelation (ANCS), Apple H2 Chip, more than six-hour battery life, water-resistance (IPX4 rated), included charging case
Price history: Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 released last fall and enjoyed significant discounts during the Black Friday and holiday shopping periods, and are now on sale once again. This $199 deal at Walmart isn’t quite the lowest price ever — the buds were briefly $189 at Micro Center in March — but at this price, they still offer seriously good value for money.
Price comparisons: Amazon: $189 (used, like new) | Walmart: $199 | Best Buy: $249 | Target: $249
Reviews consensus: The AirPods Pro 2 are not just the best earbuds that Apple has ever released, they are also our top pick for the best wireless earbuds you can buy, period. As we said in our AirPods Pro 2 review, Apple has “amped up many of the features we loved about the original, and while they’re not perfect, they offer some of the best noise cancellation and spatial audio of any pair of earbuds available.”

Buying guides: Best wireless earbuds, best noise-canceling earbuds, best workout headphones
Buy it if: You’re looking for a set of wireless earbuds that offer strong audio quality and ANC features in an aesthetically pleasing package. AirPods Pro are especially excellent for iOS and MacBook users as they are designed to pair seamlessly with other Apple products.
Don’t buy it if: You’re looking for some of the best cheap earbuds, or are primarily an Android user that wants buds designed specifically for that ecosystem. Also, if you demand lengthy battery life, the AirPods Pro 2’s six hours of charge may disappoint.
