Overview

• Amazon is selling the just‑released AirPods Pro 3 for $239, $10 below the $249 list price, in the first cash discount reported.
• The prior‑generation AirPods Pro 2 are concurrently priced at $199 on Amazon, offering a lower‑cost alternative.
• Apple touts upgrades including up to twice the noise reduction of Pro 2, built‑in heart‑rate sensing, Live Translation features, and longer battery life (up to 8 hours with ANC, 10 in Transparency).
• Retail listings show variable delivery timing, with many Amazon orders estimating free delivery around September 25 and Prime arrivals as soon as September 21.
• Deal trackers note such immediate markdowns on new Apple gear are uncommon, after Best Buy’s brief $20 pre‑order credit ended.
