Did you give up on your New Year’s resolution to get fit a long time ago? Hey, join the club! The good news is that spring brings sunnier days, so the idea of going for a run should at least begin to become more attractive. But in case you need an extra motivator, we have some other good news to share: Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro are once again on sale for $199.99 on Amazon and walmartmatching its best price to date.
The new AirPods Pro offer better noise cancellation than their predecessor, making it a breeze to tune out distractions while you’re running outdoors or at the gym. They sound better, too, and come with some new goodies, including swipe-based controls and a built-in speakerphone in the case that lets you easily find your lost earbuds via Apple’s Find My app. They also come with a smaller fourth eartip for those who struggle to find the perfect fit. All in all, they’re one of the best wireless headphones you can buy, especially if you already own other Apple hardware.
We consider the Pro 2 to be one of the best wired video intercoms you can buy. Not only does it feature high-resolution 1536p HD video quality, but it can also capture your entire front porch thanks to its large field of view. Other useful features include precise motion detection, along with people and package alerts. However, while it works well with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that it doesn’t integrate as well with most other smart home platforms. Also, keep in mind that you’ll need to pay for the Ring Protect plan (starting at $3.99/mo) to view recorded footage and use many features, including smart alerts.
Unlike the Watch 4, the Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro have a temperature sensor, along with better battery life and advanced features like personalized sleep tracking. However, the larger Galaxy Watch 5 Pro offers more outdoor-specific features, including turn-by-turn route navigation and tracking for hikers and cyclists.
If you are looking for a tablet, Apple’s latest iPad is back to an all-time low of $399 ($50 off) in a variety of colors at Amazon. The 10th-generation iPad has a faster processor than its predecessor, a larger 10.9-inch display, and USB-C, as well as a selfie camera in the middle that’s handy when you’re using your iPad in landscape orientation.
That being said, the 10th generation iPad isn’t significantly different from the 9th generation model. If you can do without the changes mentioned above and the updated redesign of the tablet, similar to the iPad Air, you can save yourself a lot of money by buying the next-generation iPad — which is also on sale starting at $269 ($60 off) on both Amazon and walmart. The iPad 2021 is still fast enough to power through most tasks and, believe it or not, it even comes with a headphone jack, in case you’re still using wired headphones.
