If you’ve been looking forward to Apple Black Friday deals, the good news is that some of them remain even after the end of the shopping holiday. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are still $49 off on Amazon, dropping them to a historic low of $200 from the typical price of $249. To take advantage of this rare opportunity, be sure to slam them in your cart now, as most Black Friday deals of the same caliber are beginning to disappear, and we’re not sure if the wireless earbuds will be this cheap on the upcoming Cyber Monday deals. Or, scroll on down for a moment to look at why the Pros are so professional.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro

If you know about the AirPods 2, you probably don’t need a lot of convincing to get them when they’re on sale. However, if you’re still new to the world of AirPods, here’s our AirPods Pro 2 review in a nutshell: a total no-brainer for Apple users. While Android and PC users will still enjoy the advanced ANC and transparency modes, Apple users will enjoy the AirPods Pro 2’s ability to instantly recognize other Apple products whenever the case is opened. For example, if you have an iPad (or plan on getting one via these Black Friday iPad deals), you just have to open up your AirPods Pro 2’s near it when you want to use it, and everything will be ready for you automatically.

Thanks to the well-earned fame of the original AirPods Pro, you can find our listings of the best earbuds filled with products with a “Pro” added on. So, when it came time for Apple to make the 2nd gen of this beloved production, the world was watching, and the stakes felt high. How do the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro match up? Perfectly, with improved noise cancellation and battery life (now well over 24 hours), plus added tactile volume controls via finger rubs on the stem. The advent of Find My as a near-ubiquitous feature on Apple products since the original AirPods Pro has made the AirPods Pro 2 nearly unlosable as well.

While this lasts, be sure to take advantage of it if you want to experience the best that Apple has to offer in terms of earbuds. At $49 off the typical $249 price, you can get the AirPods Pro 2 for just $200. Your wallet will thank you.

For those who are on the hunt for iPad deals, you probably should take advantage of Best Buy's $150 discount for the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. From its original price of $600, it's back down to $450, which is what the tablet was going for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air 5th Gen
The 2022 Apple iPad Air reigns over both of our lists for the best iPads and best tablets, primarily because of the power it packs for a reasonable price. You'll be able to watch streaming shows, play video games, browse the internet, and multitask between all of these apps without any issues. This is possible through Apple's M1 processor, which comes with an eight-core CPU for efficient performance, an eight-core GPU for amazing graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine and 8GB of RAM for fast processing and rendering. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air may be overkill for some people, but that only means you won't feel the need to make an upgrade for years to come.
