If you didn’t catch the Black Friday deal on Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, the good news is the price has dropped again ahead of the holidays. Right now, the noise-canceling earbuds are matching their all-time low price of $219.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. It’s a great deal considering the AirPods Pro 3 only just launched in September.
The AirPods Pro 3 provide a number of notable upgrades over their predecessor, including improved active noise cancellation, a more comfortable fit, and better audio performance. In her review, senior reporter Victoria Song called the wireless earbuds a “no-brainer upgrade,” saying the ANC performance was among the best she’s tested. She also noted that the earbuds deliver a richer overall listening experience, adding more depth to new and old favorites.
The earbuds offer around eight hours of battery life and an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance. The design has also been improved, allowing them to fit more naturally in your ear canal — something that not only helps them stay secure, but makes them more comfortable to wear over extended periods. Meanwhile, the AirPods Pro 3 include a heart rate sensor, allowing iPhone owners to track calories burned in over 50 types of workouts from the Fitness app.
