Subj : While you were distracted by the AirPods Pro 3, the Gen 2 model p To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed Sep 24 2025 07:45:09 While you were distracted by the AirPods Pro 3, the Gen 2 model plummeted to just AU$310 Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:34:46 +0000 Description: The AirPods Pro 3 may be stealing headlines right now, but the AirPods Pro 2 are still fantastic, and they're now a lot more affordable. FULL STORY ====================================================================== In case youve been living under a rock these last few weeks, Apple has launched the AirPods Pro 3 as the latest model in its absurdly popular in-ear headphones series. While they may be grabbing all the headlines right now (and deservedly so, if their fit is anything to go by ), we still rate the AirPods Pro 2 as some of the best wireless earbuds available, and you can now grab them for AU$310 at Amazon . Compare that to the 3s steep asking price of AU$429, and theres no questions asked where value is concerned. This isnt the absolute lowest price weve ever seen (they dipped just under AU$290 during the July Prime Day sale ), but its still a great price for what is a talented set of in-ear headphones. Not only do they sound great and employ effective ANC, but theyve been updated with plenty of new features since they launched, making them among the most talented buds on the market. We should also note that it's slightly cheaper on Kogan AU$305 for non-members but this is an imported model (not local stock), so please make the purchase if you're comfortable with that. View Deal One of the biggest announcements to come from the AirPods Pro 3 unveiling was a new Live Translation feature that will, as the name suggests, translate foreign languages into your own on the fly. The good news is the feature isnt exclusive to the Pro 3s it's now available for the Pro 2s via a firmware update. Other features the AirPods Pro 2 have gained since they launched include a new Voice Isolation feature that promises to improve call quality, and being able to simply nod your head (or shake it) to answer or reject an incoming phone call. And, if you own an Apple TV 4K, you can cast audio from it to the AirPods Pro 2, so you can watch whatever you want while blocking out the world around you. Of course, all of this is only really relevant if you own an iPhone. As we said in our AirPods Pro 2 review , theyre not the best option for Android phone owners but we confirmed they are excellent, immersive and beautifully-sounding buds if you're embedded in the Apple ecosystem. While the current price of AU$310 is attractive, wed be remiss not to point out that it may drop lower during the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days sales event, which is due to kick off on October 7. Its no guarantee, of course, so if you like what you see, we encourage you to jump on this deal while its still hot. You might also like Got iOS 26?
