If you're considering buying Apple's second-generation AirPods Pro, you should consider buying them from Amazon. Ahead of their September 23 release date, the retailer priced the headphones at $240, which is $10 less than the MSRP. It's a modest discount, sure, but it's also rare that you can get new gadgets on release for less than their suggested retail price.

Buy Apple AirPods Pro on Amazon - $240

Engadget hasn't had a chance to review the 2022 AirPods Pro yet, but the current-gen model scored an 87 from us in 2019. Based on improvements detailed by Apple during its recent iPhone 14 event, the new AirPods Pro look like a solid upgrade. They feature Apple's new H2 chip, which significantly improves active noise cancellation performance and a more functional transparency mode, according to the company. Plus, they include touch volume controls, a feature missing from the first-gen model. Apple has also improved playtime with a charging case that it claims can provide AirPods Pro with up to 30 hours of battery life.
