The AirPods Pro 3 Are $50 Off During Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, and you’re looking for a new pair of earbuds, you’d have trouble doing better than AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s flagship earbuds sound great, come with interchangeable tips, and sport a number of intelligent, useful features. That package doesn’t come cheap, though—Apple has the newest AirPods Pro priced at $249. That’s why they’re great to buy on sale: Amazon currently has the AirPods Pro 3 for $50 off their usual price.

AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s best earbuds, hands down—if you prefer the design, that is. They offer the highest quality sound, the best noise cancellation, and sizing flexibility with their interchangeable tips. If you find that the “one size fits all” approach of Apple’s standard AirPods don’t work for you, one of these AirPods Pro sizes might fit better.

AirPods Pro 3 come with a ton of features, too. The buds have Active Noise Cancellation, and Apple says these are up to four times better than its first-generation Pros. There’s also Conversation Awareness, which lowers the volume of your music when you’re speaking so you can have a chat, then raises the volume back up when you’re done. Apple’s Live Translation feature can translate conversations on the fly directly in your AirPods, and you can even use the buds as hearing aids. (They’re actually FDA-approved.)

But those features are also in some of Apple’s other earbuds. What’s exclusive here is the built-in heart rate sensor. If you have an Apple Watch, or another fitness tracker, you might not find that particularly useful, but if you don’t, you can rely on your earbuds to keep tabs on your heart rate during exercises, for more accurate fitness measurements. The charging case is also Apple’s first to include its second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which makes finding the case (and your buds) much easier with Find My.

Apple says you can get up to eight hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation (6.5 hours when using the heart rate sensor), and up to 24 hours when you take the charging case into consideration. These are IP57-rated for resistance against dust, sweat, and water, so while they’re not waterproof, they should handle workouts just fine.
