Record breaking discounts hit the AirPods Pros this week

Annual Black Friday sales are well known for offering up some of the best AirPods deals of the year, and 2022 is already shaping up to be no different. We've spotted two offers on the latest second-generation AirPods Pro earbuds today, both of which offer up record-low prices on the luxury release. In the US, you'll find these headphones available for $229 (was $249) at Amazon, meanwhile, UK shoppers can score a set for £239 (was £249) at Amazon as well. 

Of course, these are smaller savings. But they do represent the first major AirPods deals to hit the 2022 release. In the US we did see a brief blip down to $238 last week, but this is the first saving of any kind on UK shelves. We don't know how long these offers will last, though we could still see further savings over Black Friday. However, if you're looking to beat the crowds and don't want these buds running out of stock before you've got a chance to secure a discount, this is already an excellent offer. 

Cheaper still are the second-generation AirPods. In the US, we're seeing an $89.99 sale price on these entry-level buds at Amazon (was $159.99) - a price on par with the very best of last year's Black Friday AirPods deals. While we have seen that cost dwindle down to $79 in the past, such offers are extremely competitive and tend to run off the shelves particularly quickly. 

You'll find all of today's best AirPods deals just below and plenty more offers further down the page.

Apple AirPods second generation | $159 $89.99 at Amazon
Save $69 - While we have seen the second-generation AirPods drop to $79 in the past, that's a particularly rare offer. At $89.99 you're still scoring yourself a steal on a set of earbuds that still regularly sell at over $100. If you'd prefer to stick it out, we could see an extra $10 off over the next week, though.
