If you're looking for the perfect pair of running headphones to keep you motivated this winter, Apple has joined the Amazon Prime Day bonanza with an exceptional deal on their best ever pair, the AirPods Pro (2nd gen). In fact, at £50 off for Prime Day, this is the lowest price these premium earbuds have ever been.
As a shopping editor, trust me when I say it's rare to see Apple offer up such a generous discount. During Black Friday 2023, the brand only dropped the price of its AirPods by 8%. Clearly Apple is in the mood for giving right now.
The AirPods Pro 2 are easily some of the best wireless running headphones we've tested here at RW and remain our top pick over the newer (and also discounted) AirPods 4.
What everyone's reading
Thanks to a new H2 chip and amplifier, the 2nd generation of these iconic buds has a noticeably deeper bass and clearer sound. Transparency mode, too, is greatly improved with less of the crackle you get when wind passes over microphones that pump in external audio.
On the run, they feel lightweight and comfortable and the fit is reassuringly secure, with our tester suffering no fall-out over a variety of terrain and paces.
The MagSafe Case comes with a higher price tag than the standard wired charging case but with this comes extra battery length.
