Apple, Samsung, Others Slash Earbud Prices in Sales

Major sales have significantly reduced prices on wireless earbuds, with Apple's AirPods Pro 2 dropping to $169 and the new AirPods 4 models, both with and without ANC, available for as low as $99. The AirPods Pro 2 remain the flagship for iPhone users, featuring advanced noise cancellation, excellent sound, and new Voice Isolation for clearer calls. The AirPods 4 serve as a more affordable option, offering the same audio quality but fewer premium features and updated USB-C charging. Competing brands have also slashed prices: JBL's Tune 235NC with ANC is now $59.99, Anker's Soundcore Space A40 is $45, and budget AirPods-style earbuds can be found for $21. Samsung has entered the market with its new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, priced at $119.99 after a large discount and positioned as strong competitors. The updated AirPods lineup provides options for both premium and budget-conscious buyers amid increased competition.
