Looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift? Consider Apple's latest AirPods, now on sale just in time for May 11. Start with the premium option, the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-canceling earbuds, available for $169, down from their usual price of $240. If you're looking for a slightly more budget-friendly option, the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is currently priced at $148, originally $179. For those seeking great value, the AirPods 4 without ANC is reduced to $99.99 from $129.
Originally priced at $249.00, now save 32% and get them for $169.00 at Amazon. The AirPods Pro is the top choice for iPhone users seeking the best in sound quality, thanks to its in-ear design and exceptional active noise cancellation. Powered by the Apple H2 chip, these earbuds offer low-distortion audio and features like Adaptive Transparency Mode, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings, and Conversation Mode, which enhances the voices of those you're speaking with. The second-generation model now includes a USB-C port for more universal charging and comes with a MagSafe charging case.
Originally $129.00, now save 22% and get them for $99.99 at Amazon.
Originally $179.00, now save 17% and get them for $148.99 at Amazon. Launched in September 2024, the AirPods 4 comes in two variants, with the key difference being the noise-canceling feature in the more expensive model. Updates over the AirPods 3 include the Apple H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3, an improved IP54 resistance rating for dust protection, USB-C charging, and a new optical in-ear sensor for better detection.
The AirPods Pro, at $70 more than the AirPods 4 with ANC, offers superior sound quality and more effective noise cancellation due to its in-ear design and adjustable tips, which provide a better seal against ambient noise. While the AirPods 4 with ANC is comfortable with its open-ear design, it may allow more sound leakage and ambient noise. Opt for the AirPods 4 ANC if you prefer the comfort of an open-ear style over the in-ear design of the AirPods Pro.
For another fantastic Mother's Day gift, consider the new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, all with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, the price has dropped to $299 from $349. This is an exceptional deal for a recently released iPad, unlikely to last long.
