Apple products rarely drop that significantly in price, so whenever they do we always like to shout about it. While October's Prime Day is still a few days away, retailers are kicking off their deals early, one of which sees the Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds discounted by close to $60, dropping them to $190.
While this isn't the cheapest price we've ever seen (that would be $169), it's still a decent price cut ahead of the main sales event and it's nice to have a choice between two retailers. Best Buy throws in some free Apple services like Apple Music, too.
