Missed the Black Friday chaos? The AirPods Pro 3 have quietly slipped back to their best price of the season: $219.99 on Amazon, down from the usual $249.
This isn’t a refurbished special or an open-box clearance — it’s the same factory-sealed, current-generation AirPods Pro 3 that launched in September. If you’ve been waiting for a repeat of the Black Friday low, now’s one of the first chances to grab it again before the holidays.
What makes the Pro 3 worth the attention
The AirPods Pro 3 aren’t just a small iterative update. Apple tightened the fit, improved audio quality, and boosted Active Noise Cancellation (Apple claims roughly 2x better ANC versus the prior Pro model). They also added heart-rate sensing for workouts, a more weatherproof IP57 rating, and Live Translation — an Apple Intelligence feature that translates in-person conversations on the fly. Those capabilities make these earbuds interesting not only for music listeners but for people who use the broader Apple ecosystem daily.
If you want to check the current listing, the AirPods Pro 3 are available on Amazon at the discounted price.
Where to find the deal — and what else is on sale
Amazon is matching that Cyber Monday/Black Friday floor (some outlets list the price as $220). Retailers occasionally fluctuate by a dollar, so keep an eye on the cart or price guarantees. If you’re hunting other Apple deals this week, there are notable discounts across the lineup — from headphones to laptops — and it’s worth scanning broader sales pages to compare. For a sense of the wider seasonal movement in Apple discounts, our roundup of early holiday offers is handy and shows how prices are shaping up this year as Black Friday-style sales continue. You can also find deeper MacBook Air rebates and other hardware drops that pair nicely with an AirPods purchase for holiday gifts like recent MacBook Air deals.
Beyond the Pro 3, a few other bargains have returned: earlier-generation AirPods 4 models and AirPods 4 with ANC have hit record lows at several retailers, making this a surprisingly generationally broad sale season.
A quick note on Apple Intelligence
Live Translation on AirPods Pro 3 leans on Apple’s push into on-device and cloud-powered intelligence. If you’re tracking how Apple is evolving features like Siri and translation, recent moves around Apple’s AI strategy are part of the same trend toward more capable, conversation-focused assistants as Apple explores new models for Siri.
If you were waiting for a sign to upgrade or to buy a holiday gift for someone deep in the Apple ecosystem, this price reset is a practical opening. It won’t necessarily last, but it’s a strong repeat of the Black Friday low and one of the better values we’ve seen for Apple’s newest earbuds this season.
