We are obsessed with the Apple AirPods Pro 2, and so are our readers. The earbuds, Apple's most advanced so far, have an upgraded wireless chip for improved audio functionality, a new low-distortion driver for clearer audio and improved active noise cancellation. They also feature personalized spatial audio that tracks the movement of your head, boosting immersion in music and shows. And they're sweat and dust resistant. Honestly, what's not to love about these?

So when we saw that Walmart dropped the price on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with the Lightning charging case by 24%, we had to spread the word. Regularly listed at $249, you can now get these top-rated earbuds for just $189. That's the lowest price we've seen since Amazon Prime Day and we figured we'd have to wait for the next Amazon Prime Day to roll around to see prices that low again.

If you missed your chance to snag these during the October Prime Day sale at Amazon, this new deal at Walmart is your second chance to save.
