Apple has slashed the price of its flagship AirPods Pro 3 earbuds for Black Friday, making them available for a record-low $220, down from the regular price of $249. This is the lowest price seen for these earbuds to date.
The latest iteration of Apple's wireless earbuds boasts several upgrades that make it an attractive option for iPhone users. The new AirPods Pro 3 deliver noticeably richer audio and more effective active noise cancellation, while maintaining their compact form factor. However, it's worth noting that the company hasn't reinvented its flagship earbuds with this latest model.
One standout feature of the AirPods Pro 3 is Apple's Live Translation technology, which was announced at the iPhone 17 event. This innovative feature uses the H2 chip to combine Voice Isolation, ANC, and beamforming mics, allowing for seamless translation through Siri's filters. Additionally, users can view real-time transcription in the iOS Translate app when environmental noise gets too intrusive.
The AirPods Pro 3 also boasts improved battery life, with up to eight hours of playback on a single charge with ANC enabled, and an additional 24 hours from the charging case. The MagSafe charging case now supports increased Precision Find My functionality, making it easier to locate if misplaced.
When it comes to audio quality, the AirPods Pro 3 deliver deeper bass, crisper highs, and a more dynamic soundstage. While some may find the price of $249 steep, this Black Friday deal offers a significant discount that makes these earbuds an attractive option for those looking to upgrade from previous models.
Interestingly, Apple also offers alternative deals on other earbud models, including the AirPods 4 with ANC for $139 and the standard AirPods 4 for $69. For those who prefer over-ear headphones, select colors of the AirPods Max are now available for $400.
