It’s a great time to pick up a pair of AirPods Pro: they offer amazing active noise cancellation and all the smarts of the AirPods range, and as confirmed by Apple during WWDC 2020, they’re set to get spatial audio support later this year. At £249.99, however, they’re a little pricey compared to the true wireless earbud competition .
That’s why Scan’s AirPods Pro deal is so tempting. The online retailer is currently offering the AirPods Pro for £208.98 , £41.01 off Apple’s RRP, and at the time of writing, Apple’s high-end earbuds are available for free next-day delivery. If that’s not enough, Scan is also throwing in a free 2,600mAh Mophie Powerbank to help keep your iPhone and new AirPods charged and ready to go.
Of course, it should come as no surprise that this is a limited-time deal, with Scan confirming that the deal will only be available today, 23 June 2020.
If you’re wondering what the differences are between the AirPods and AirPods Pro, it essentially comes down to three things: fit, sound quality and active noise cancellation.
Where the standard AirPods are a one-size-fits-all affair, AirPods Pro comes with swappable eartips to help find the perfect fit for your ear while also reducing the amount of sound leakage from the environment. That’s further enhanced by the inclusion of ANC, and a separate mode that uses the on-board microphones to allow you to be aware of your surroundings while wearing the buds. And, of course, the AirPods Pro sound incredible.
If that sounds like something you’d enjoy on your daily commute, we’d recommend heading to Scan before stock runs out.
