This Is Your Chance to Get the AirPods Pro 3 for $179

Prime Day is June 23 to 26, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it’s over. 

The latest AirPods Pro are a big step up. The third iteration of Apple’s iconic earbuds comes with a number of quality-of-life and software improvements that make them worth the typical premium over the AirPods Pro 2—and right now, the AirPods Pro 3 are even cheaper than the previous generation. They’re $179 on Amazon as for Prime Day, down from $249, matching their lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools.

The AirPods Pro 3 improve on already great earbuds with new features like a heart rate sensor, better automatic noise canceling (ANC), longer battery life for the buds (though the case’s battery life is a bit worse), and an improved “Find My” experience. You’ll get Personalized Spatial Audio (so you can hear sounds seemingly coming from different directions as you move your head) and the ability to use head gestures to tell Siri “yes” or “no” (this also works for answering or denying calls). Apple added a live translation feature to both the second- and third-generation AirPods Pro when iOS 26 rolled out earlier this year, and with iOS 27 later this fall, it will add custom equalizer controls. The AirPods Pro have their own adaptive EQ, but you haven’t been able to set the EQ yourself.

Since these earbuds have rubber tips, they sealed your ear canal (as supposed to regular earbuds like the AirPods 4); consequently, the ANC is much better—but the ANC technology itself has also improved, as has the overall audio quality, thanks to the new H3 chip In its “exemplary” review, PCMag called them the best earbuds for your money—and now, you can spend 28% less of it.
