An unusually quick markdown for new Apple hardware highlights a tradeoff between the latest features versus a lower price on AirPods Pro 2.

Overview

  • Amazon is selling the newly released AirPods Pro 3 for $239, a $10 drop from the $249 list price and the first cash discount reported for the model.
  • The previous-generation AirPods Pro 2 are available for $199 on Amazon, offering a larger savings for shoppers prioritizing price.
  • AirPods Pro 3 introduce Live Translation, a built-in heart-rate sensor supporting up to 50 workout types, stronger noise cancellation claimed to remove up to twice as much noise, and longer battery life up to eight hours with ANC.
