AirPods Pro 3 on Sale for $200: A Boost for iOS, A Pass for Android

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 just got $50 cheaper, and they’re packed with features that could win over iOS users—though Android fans might still want to keep their wallets zipped.

The AirPods Pro 3 are now available at Best Buy for $200, a $50 discount from the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.

This price cut makes the earbuds more accessible while retaining features like real-time translation via Apple Intelligence, heart rate sensing, IP57 water resistance, and improved active noise-canceling (ANC) performance.

Reviewers have noted that the ANC improvements are significant. As one reviewer, Parker Hall, observed: "The biggest improvements are to the sound isolation and active noise-canceling, which our reviewer Parker Hall compared to the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 earbuds."

"The AirPods' rich set of features really only work meaningfully with iOS and Mac... Android users should consider other options."

The sound quality is particularly strong in pop, hip-hop, and jazz genres, though some users report the audio may sound 'bright' in bass-heavy tracks.

The earbuds also feature a new foam-tipped design for a better fit, and their IP57 rating ensures they can withstand sweat and light rain.
