Apple's second-generation AirPods Pro have reached their lowest price ever during Walmart's Black Friday sale, marked down to $139—a discount exceeding $100 from the standard retail price of $249.
This represents a significant opportunity for consumers seeking premium wireless earbuds at an unprecedented price point.
The markdown surpasses previous Black Friday discounts, when the same model typically dropped to approximately $155. According to current pricing records, $139 represents the cheapest the AirPods Pro 2 have ever been offered.
The price difference is substantial when compared to competing retailers, where Amazon lists the model above $200, underscoring Walmart's competitive positioning during the shopping season.
Despite the introduction of Apple's newer AirPods Pro 3 earlier this year, the second-generation model remains a compelling choice for Apple ecosystem users. The AirPods Pro 2 deliver excellent active noise cancellation and strong sound quality while maintaining several advantages over their newer counterpart.
Battery performance reaches approximately six hours per charge with active noise cancellation enabled, while the wireless charging case provides a combined 30 hours of total listening time—exceeding the 24 hours offered by the Pro 3.
The H2 chip integrated into the AirPods Pro 2 enables seamless device pairing and hands-free Siri access. Through a recent firmware update, the earbuds now support Apple's Live Translation feature, which facilitates real-time language conversation translation when paired with the Translate app on iPhones running iOS 26 or later.
Health tracking capabilities remain intact, offering users access to most of Apple's wellness monitoring functions.
The primary distinctions between the Pro 2 and the newer Pro 3 involve heart rate monitoring built into the Pro 3, alongside incremental improvements in active noise cancellation and audio quality.
At the current price point, consumers can access the majority of the Pro generation's conveniences while saving nearly $100 compared to the Pro 3's launch price.
Walmart's broader Black Friday electronics selection includes comparable discounts across Apple's audio product line. The AirPods 4 have been reduced to $69—their lowest price on record—while both variants, including the version with active noise cancellation, are available at historically low prices.
The new AirPods Pro 3 also appear on Walmart's Black Friday roster at their most competitive pricing since launch in September.
The $139 AirPods Pro 2 deal aligns with Walmart's positioning as a primary Black Friday destination for technology purchases. The retailer's broader campaign encompasses substantial markdowns across electronics, with doorbusters including budget tablets, streaming devices, and notebook computers.
This pricing strategy represents an extension of the competitive environment among major retailers including Target, Best Buy, and Amazon, each introducing aggressive Black Friday pricing to capture consumer spending during the season's peak shopping period.
