Despite being more than two years old, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 still dominate the premium wireless‑earbud space, thanks to a potent mix of top‑tier audio, class‑leading noise cancellation, and Apple's habit of delivering major new features through software updates.

Meanwhile in the UK AirPods Pro 2 ('https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-AirPods-generation-MagSafe-USB%E2%80%91C/dp/B0CHWZ9TZS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=IZIA5Y31Q6DY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OrB4Iu2o04LcVut8faddxpE1pnu35LQ4u27kDgK_yBGuOpPew6R6ryjW7ZLa26Qpg_X5KgQGejDhiNEfHvwY0K6mtIURjU2DJr08sRcbItm14FiapWOUG0MfTxR2fwtoW8SdMRdqu7nEzNlRNJvsRoRZWai3yFyLisAivR3MacqZMLb-GVsGNecqha5WxznF5-tj5x3T5eZlA-iF8O-DI2mwVWoVkqcoJkIUkieYINw.8NorU9fMeE_H-E6CV9aA2g5bnSjB89MNw4S1W9f24N0&dib_tag=se&keywords=airpods+pro+2&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1736684851&sprefix=%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1') are £229 or $279.95. The AirTags ('https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-AirTag-Bluetooth-Item-Finder/dp/B0935JRJ59/ref=sr_1_3?crid=C1GJYRU6T75W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CgQWnuSfsl0Mhs0BtLt5TEqg63vGm23Tmplq27E1MztXdzF7-6YJR3-F0fNN8Njn2j_NDY5C1WwlnipnYA3HPQ32_YkACnXs7LqXpZda4Xqgo8jDlS4UTPJzohqKzvnfCRf6KE1xJR6JV6JOn2q3fKeq3m8LvQjnubUmQj84153L32T5ZhUdd1vqiiw7UGW7yu6jPdPhov7LMyl1OZVY1cr2ZERHxonj3RlpO4zgAx8.zBMsetgJX4dasaD1evEq57o98s_1AovCD3xPiuohkwg&dib_tag=se&keywords=airtags+4+pack&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1736685008&sprefix=AirTags+%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-3') are £94 or $114.91. Yes I realise that in America there is tax to add but I very much doubt that it’s going to be almost $100 on the AirPods and $50 on the AirTags. Apple and Amazon are ripping the UK off.
I live in Mexico and what I can tell you is that is pretty much the same thing here. Crazy and almost impossible prices due to taxes, logistics and import rates.
