Overview
- Amazon listed the AirPods Pro 3 for $179 on Sunday, October 4, 2026, a $70 reduction from Apple’s $249 retail price that multiple outlets verified as a time-limited deal.
- The earbuds use Apple’s H2 chip and offer Active Noise Cancellation Apple says is up to twice as effective as the previous generation, plus foam-infused tips for a better seal.
- Each earbud includes a heart-rate sensor, the pair and case carry an IP57 dust and water resistance rating, and Apple rates battery life at up to 8 hours with ANC and up to 24 hours with the MagSafe Charging Case.
- Key features have software limits: heart-rate tracking and Live Translation require iOS 26 with an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone for Live Translation, while Hearing Test and Hearing Aid need iOS 18.
- Reviewers praise fit, sound and ANC and say the $179 price is a strong value; outlets differ on whether this is the lowest price since June or the second-lowest ever, and they warn the deal may sell out or change quickly.
