AirPods Pro 2 now within $20 of Prime Day at $169 shipped, or $180 with 2-yrs. AppleCare+ (Nearly $100 off)

Nearly $100 off/From $169

While we are still tracking the AirPods 4 within $10 of the Prime Day deal at $99, you’ll also find the higher-end AirPods Pro 2 within $20 of the Prime Day low at $169 shipped via Amazon. Regularly $249, this is the best price we have tracked since the Prime festivities and Costco members can also land a set at $179.99 with AppleCare+ included. Details below. 

Folks looking to refresh their Apple buds can now land a set of the flagship AirPods Pro 2 down at $169 shipped via Amazon. This is $80 off the regular list price and within $20 of the Prime Day all-time low we tracked at the beginning of July. 

However, those of you who might be a Costco member will also find the AirPods Pro 2 marked down to $179.99 shipped from the regular $249. Why would you pay $180 at Costco when you can readily land a set on Amazon for less? Because Costco ships this particular deal with AppleCare+ for Headphones – regularly an extra $29 on top of the price of the buds:

AppleCare+ for Headphones extends your coverage to two years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection, each subject to a service fee of $29 plus applicable tax. In addition, you’ll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone.

While AirPods Pro 3 might very well be inbound next month, it’s hard to say for sure. But even if they do land, it’s going to be more than a while before you score a set at $80 off – even with a trade-in, it is unlikely unless you have far more pricey gear to flip or a near perfect set of AirPods Pro 2 to knock the price down to some degree once the first deals arrive.
