Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds are priced at $179 at Amazon for October Prime Day, down from the original $249 price tag. This marks the first time the price has dropped below $190 since Prime Day in June. The sale is part of a broader discount event that also includes the latest iPad Mini and M5 MacBook Airs.
The discounted AirPods Pro 3 feature noise cancellation, five ear tip sizes, live translation, and heart rate sensors. Other retailers are expected to offer similar pricing in the coming days. At this price point, the Pro 3 model costs just $30 more than the AirPods 5, which launched recently with a wireless charging case for $149.99.
While the AirPods 5 are suitable for users who prefer earbuds that do not form a seal, the AirPods Pro 3 are identified as a better value for most consumers at the current discount. The Pro 3 design includes improvements to fit, superior noise cancellation, and better bass compared to previous iterations.
