Apple AirPods See Significant Discounts and Innovative Health Features This Black Friday
This Black Friday, Apple AirPods are seeing some of the most significant discounts of the year. The AirPods 3 with MagSafe Charging Case have dropped to an all-time low of $99.99 on Amazon, down from the original price of $179.00. Although this specific deal has already expired, it highlights the aggressive pricing strategies retailers are adopting for the holiday season.
In addition to the discounts, Apple has introduced a groundbreaking feature in the AirPods Pro 2 that makes hearing tests as easy as a few taps on your iPhone or iPad. This new feature allows users to take scientifically validated hearing tests from the comfort of their own homes. The test, which takes about five minutes, uses pure-tone audiometry and advanced acoustic science to provide a personalized report on the user’s hearing health. If the test indicates mild to moderate hearing loss, users can enable a new Hearing Aid mode that turns the AirPods Pro 2 into a clinical-grade hearing aid.
The AirPods Pro 2 also come with enhanced noise protection features, designed to safeguard users’ ears from loud noises in daily life. This includes active adjustments to sudden loud sounds, protecting hearing in noisy environments. These innovations are set to make a significant impact on hearing health by making these tools more accessible and encouraging people to address their hearing issues earlier.
For those looking for the latest technology, the AirPods 4 have also been recently released, offering up to 20 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled and up to 30 hours with noise control off. These new models continue Apple’s trend of integrating advanced audio technology and user-centric features into their products.
