Went to Costco Business Center to try and redeem some of my Citi coupons on some new airpods pro and the guy wasn't able to do it from there since not a warehouse. He did find the item # and then told me to wait until 10/8/22 as the warehouses will have them priced at $169.99. He said I could take a picture of the screen. Hopefully this helps someone else that was going to buy and willing to wait another 9 days.
URL is just a link to the product page for info purposes. I don't post deals often, so my formatting probably sucks idc.
Retail: $239.99
Sale: $169.99

EDIT: Since a lot of people seem to be skeptical on this point, I want to point out two things because people cannot read apparently. This is for 2ND GEN with its item number, it is not a mistake on that. However, there is a big potential that this is a pricing mistake for this item and will be corrected on 10/8, but I will leave the post up as the information was from a Costco employee's system and not based on rumor. Don't waste your energy getting upset that it might not happen, just move on to the next deal.

Having used the Airpods Pro 1, I am kinda disappointed. Compared both side by side, the noise cancelation is not significantly better. The one part I noticed an obvious improvement was noise cancelation when typing on a Mechanical keyboard.
The sound quality feels a bit worse since the bass seems slightly overpowering. The volume control on the earbud is hard to use, but I guess it's better than not having it at all. I need to fiddle around more with the EQ to see if I can balance out the sound a bit more. I did not try the spatial audio features since my iPad has not yet received the iPadOS 15 update which is required to be able to use all functions of the new Airpods, including head tracking and stuff.
Why did I buy the new Airpods? I needed a backup pair, but now reconsidering if I should just get the Gen 1 at a much lower price.

Seems like more people were thankful at the potential deal, a few upset people that nothing better to do with their lives than complain. My account is 10 years old and I've posted two deals; I am not clout chasing, just trying to help out people if I can.
Have a great day and thanks again.

Also, major sales department are always triple checked because costco do not want to jeopardize their relationship with those vendors(apple/Microsoft, Samsung, LG, Sony) compare to let's say Jif peanut butter or jimmy dean breakfast sausage.
