Just in time for the warmer weather, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 have dropped under $200, bringing the price down to $199. That puts Apple’s best earbuds at $50 off their regular MSRP, signaling a fantastic time to splurge on that upgrade.
These are Apple’s best AirPods to date, and one of the best earbuds ever made, as we noted in our 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award. First off, they’re super secure in the ear, something we struggled with in previous models, and they have a much longer battery life. Also, noise canceling has been improved, and the transparency mode is also better, making it possible to stay aware of your surroundings.
The new heart-rate sensor integrated into the AirPods Pro 3 also pushes these buds into health and travel territories. The buds can track your pulse during workouts and give you useful fitness data without having to wear any extra gear. That’s particularly useful if you don’t want to wear an Apple Watch around your wrist while you work out. Also, when traveling, Live Translation will make your life so much easier.
At $199, the AirPods Pro 3 are an absolute catch, combining premium sound, stronger noise control, and fitness tracking at a much more appealing price.
