If You're Switching Earbuds, AirPods Pro 2 With ANC and Spatial Audio Are Selling for Peanuts on Amazon
Amazon just launched its Back to School deals this year, and Apple products are some of the most popular offerings to be had right now. If you're shopping to upgrade your sound with the best of the best in-ear earbuds, there's a deal on the AirPods Pro 2 that's nigh impossible to resist. For a limited time, you can pick up Apple's latest AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds for only $169: That's a whopping 32% off the regular $249 price. See at Amazon These are Apple's most advanced in-ear headphones yet, built on the supercharged H2 chip that powers even smarter noise cancellation, greater audio quality and seamless connectivity across Apple devices. The H2 chip plays back music, calls and sound from your favorite apps in clear detail with accurate highs and deeply resonant bass. Adaptive Audio smartly adjusts to your surroundings by blending Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes so you experience optimal sound wherever you may be. When you're on those demanding commutes, noisy offices, or any time you need to tune everything out and focus, the enhanced Active Noise Cancellation cancels up to twice as much background noise as the previous generation. Spatial Audio is personalized to your unique ear shape and provides an immersive experience with dynamic head tracking that places you in the center of the activity. And if you use your earbuds to make calls or voice chats, Voice Isolation drastically improves call quality even in busy environments, with Conversation Awareness able to automatically lower your media volume when it detects that you're speaking with the people around you. The AirPods Pro 2 are also made to fit your daily life with a personal fit: Apple includes four sets of silicone tips in the box, ranging from extra small to large so you can pick the one that keeps the earbuds secure and comfortable for long hours of listening. This secure fit enhances the passive noise isolation properties and holds the earbuds in place in your ears while you exercise or when moving around. Both the earbuds themselves and their MagSafe charging case have an IP54 rating for dust, sweat, and water resistance. Controls are natural and responsive: swipe, press and hold to manage volume or playback, answer calls or summon Siri without even touching your phone. And if you like hands-free functionality, the new Siri Interactions even allow you to respond with a nod or head shake to manage messages and calls. Battery life lasts through multiple listening sessions (roughly 30 hours with the charging case) and USB-C charging is quick and easy. Right now, this is a rare chance to access Apple's flagship earbuds at a price that feels almost too good to be true. See at Amazon

This 2-Pack of 20W iPhone Chargers Is Nearly Free, Anker Is Clearing Out the Last of Its Stock
Amazon has barely had time to catch its breath with Prime Day, and already it is launching Back to School deals with a new wave of discounts. In all these deals, some of the small (but vital) pieces of hardware like Anker's chargers have caught our attention. Right now, Amazon is featuring the Anker 2-Pack 20W fast USB-C charger at its lowest price ever: Normally $19, with a coupon applied at checkout, this set drops to only $12 which is a savings of over 32%. For less than the cost of a single charger from many brands, you're getting two high-quality blocks plus two 5-foot USB-C cables. See at Amazon These wall charger blocks give you a maximum of 20W fast charging power each, and that's precisely what you require for the latest iPhone models (like the iPhone 16, 16 Pro Max, and more) and really any other more recent Apple device. Fast charging allows you to charge your battery from flat to more than 50% in around 25 minutes so you never have to sit around waiting for your phone to come on. The blocks are also universal for a wide selection of other devices including the iPad Pro, AirPods, Android phones, tablets, and even some small laptops. There's actually a dual-port feature: both adapters feature a USB-C and a USB-A port. You can charge two devices at once without slowing down which is perfect if you're working with a phone and a wireless earbud case for instance. Having both ports available to use simultaneously enables you to have your tech ready for the needs of all day, and it makes life a little bit easier where power outlets are limited. Safety is of the highest concern with this Anker pack: Each charger has Anker's MultiProtect safe system which safeguards your devices using advanced temperature control, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit prevention. It is nice to have peace of mind and know your phone or tablet is safe to fast charge. At $12 for a pair of chargers and cables, it's hard to find something better or more useful in your daily tech setup before the new term begins. See at Amazon
