AirPods Pro 3 drop under $200 just in time for your last-minute shopping

The AirPods Pro 3 haven’t really gotten a proper deal until now because it seems like Apple wants you to get these as stocking stuffers. For the first time ever, these buds are down to $199, a savings of $50 over at Walmart and $20 cheaper than their Black Friday discount.

We gave the AirPods Pro 3 a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award, loving just how comfortable and secure they fit thanks to new foam-infused tips. We concluded that while the improvements may seem small when compared to the previous model, they actually make a big difference with a better fit, improved sound, and longer battery life.

The third-generation model also brings upgraded noise cancellation and Transparency mode, as well as a streamlined design featuring a built-in heart-rate sensor. The buds support Apple’s new Live Translation feature, so they’re super useful when traveling, while the new heart rate monitor keeps track of your health while exercising.

We didn’t expect AirPods Pro 3 to drop under $200 until next year, so we’re glad to see the AirPods Pro 3 down to $199 this close to the holidays. So grab a pair while they’re still on sale.
