Walmart Unleashes Unprecedented Black Friday Deal on AirPods Pro 2#
Walmart’s Black Friday deals are already making waves, with a standout offer on the Apple AirPods Pro 2, slashing their price to an all-time low of $139. This unprecedented discount positions the highly acclaimed wireless earbuds as a must-have for anyone looking for premium audio without the premium price tag.
- Record-Low Price: The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are now available at Walmart for an unprecedented $139, marking their lowest price ever recorded.
- Significant Savings: This deal represents a substantial discount of over $100 from their standard retail price of $249, making them significantly more affordable than last year’s Black Friday price of around $155.
- Feature-Rich Value: Despite the recent release of the AirPods Pro 3, the Pro 2 still offer excellent active noise cancellation, great sound quality, and support for Apple’s innovative Live Translation feature (when paired with iPhones running iOS 26 or later and the Translate app).
- Superior Battery Life: The AirPods Pro 2 boast approximately six hours of listening with ANC enabled on a single charge. Crucially, their wireless charging case provides an impressive 30 total hours of listening time, surprisingly surpassing the Pro 3’s 24 hours.
- H2 Chipset Advantages: Users benefit from the H2 chipset’s full suite of conveniences, including quick pairing, seamless device switching between Apple devices, and hands-free Siri activation, alongside most of Apple’s health tracking capabilities (though lacking the Pro 3’s built-in heart rate tracking).
- Broader Apple Deals: In addition to the Pro 2, Walmart’s Black Friday sales extend to other AirPods models, including AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and even the newer AirPods Pro 3, all available at record or near-record low prices. This aggressive pricing strategy by Walmart for the AirPods Pro 2 highlights a common trend during major sales events like Black Friday: making slightly older flagship tech more accessible. For Apple, it helps clear inventory while still driving sales within its ecosystem, appealing to a broader user base unwilling to pay the premium for the very latest model. The AirPods Pro 2, despite the Pro 3’s release, remain a highly capable and desirable product for Apple users, offering significant value. This move also puts pressure on competitors in the premium wireless earbud market, forcing them to consider similar price adjustments to remain competitive during the holiday shopping season. The $139 price point makes the AirPods Pro 2 an exceptionally compelling offer, likely to sell out quickly and become one of the standout tech deals of Black Friday. This move demonstrates that consumers can often find incredible value by opting for the immediate predecessor to a newly launched product, especially when core features and performance remain high and, in some cases like battery life, even exceed the successor. We can expect this trend to continue, with retailers leveraging older, yet still powerful, tech as major draws during high-stakes shopping periods, influencing consumer purchasing decisions and potentially accelerating the adoption of premium features at more affordable price points across the industry.
