It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good discount on the Apple AirPods Pro 3, but like the latest iPad Mini and the M5 MacBook Airs , a great one is happening now for October Prime Day. You can snag a pair of the noise-canceling earbuds that include five ear tip sizes, live translation, and fantastic sound for $179 at Amazon (originally $249). I expect other retailers to offer a similar price in the coming days.
This is the first time the price has gone below $190 since Prime Day in June. Since then, Apple launched the AirPods 5 , and the most feature-complete version with a wireless charging case costs $149.99 . Those are great if you prefer earbuds that don’t form a seal in your ears, but for everyone else, the AirPods Pro 3 are a much better value at just $30 more right now. $179 The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors.
