What is the best AirPods Pro 2 deal right now?
It’s tough to single out an individual “best” deal at the moment as almost all major retailers are offering the same $59 discount currently. However, Best Buy stands out from the crowd thanks to its trade-in program. If you have an old pair of headphones or earbuds from Apple, Bose, Sony, JBL or another major brand, you can exchange them for an extra discount of up to $45.

Best Buy is currently offering a straight $59 discount, and you can get up to $45 more in trade-in credit if you hand in your old earbuds. Plus, you’ll get three free months of Apple Music and Apple Fitness Plus with the purchase if you’re a new subscriber.
Save $59 on your new AirPods Pro 2 and save an extra 5% off when you use your Target Circle™️ Card* for the purchase. Target Circle members will also get two free months of Apple Music.
Apple’s latest USB-C AirPods Pro wireless earbuds are currently $244 at B&H Photo.

It’s also worth noting that the original AirPods 2 Pro with the Lightning charging case are on sale for $220 right now as well.
Apple rarely offers discounts, but there is a way to save on a pair of AirPods Pro 2. Pay using your Apple Card* and you’ll get 3% cash back, which works out to $7.47 in savings. Apple also offers free engraving and six months of free Apple Music for new subscribers.
