Apple's AirPods Pro 3 just hit their lowest price ever at $219.99, marking the biggest discount since their September launch. The $30 drop across Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy signals retailers are getting aggressive ahead of Black Friday, offering consumers their first real chance to save on Apple's latest premium earbuds.
Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are experiencing their steepest price cut yet, dropping to $219.99 across major retailers in what appears to be the opening salvo of Black Friday deals. The $30 discount represents the most significant savings since the earbuds launched in September, giving consumers their first real opportunity to grab Apple's flagship audio product at a reduced price.
The timing isn't coincidental. Retailers are rolling out pre-Black Friday deals earlier than ever this year, and premium tech products like the AirPods Pro 3 are becoming key battleground items. Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are all matching the $219.99 price point, suggesting coordinated pressure to move inventory ahead of the holiday rush.
The Verge's Victoria Song called the AirPods Pro 3 a "no-brainer upgrade" in her comprehensive review, particularly praising their enhanced active noise cancellation. During real-world testing at a concert and on airplanes, the earbuds demonstrated significant improvements over their predecessors, especially when filtering high-frequency sounds like voices.
The performance boost stems largely from a redesigned fit. Apple engineers angled the earbuds differently to sit more naturally in the ear canal, while infusing the tips with expanding foam that creates a better seal. The company even added an XXS tip size to accommodate more ear shapes - addressing one of the most common complaints about previous AirPods Pro models.
