Apple AirPods Pro are still widely considered the best wireless earphones for iOS devices, and you can get a pair for $229.99 shipped, this weekend only, originally $249. Unlike standard AirPods, the Pro uses two microphones combined with advanced software to continuously adapt to each individual ear and headphone fit, while removing background noise to provide an excellent noise-canceling experience.

- Active noise cancellation for immersive sound
- Transparency mode for hearing and connecting with the world around you
- Three sizes of soft, tapered silicone tips for a customizable fit
The first microphone faces outwards and detects external sound to analyze environmental noise. The Pro then creates an equivalent anti-noise that cancels out background noise before it reaches the listener’s ear. A second microphone faces inwards listening toward the ear, and the remaining noise detected by the microphone is canceled.
The new in-ear AirPods Pro sound amazing with Adaptive EQ, fit comfortably with flexible ear tips and have innovative Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. We think customers are going to love this new addition to the AirPods family,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
