Apple took a big swing with the AirPods Pro 3 this year, and while they won't be for everyone as a result, these earbuds will be the absolute best for most people. I reviewed the AirPods Pro 3, and found them to have the best active noise-canceling performance of any pair of wireless earbuds I've tested. They've only been out for a few months, and that's why it's incredible to see AirPods Pro 3 already discounted to $219.99 on Amazon.

The same deal is live on Best Buy, Target, and Walmart as well, and it means now is the perfect time to save on AirPods Pro 3 as Black Friday approaches. It's the lowest price we've ever seen for this model of AirPods, down from their usual $249.99 retail price. Here's who the AirPods Pro 3 is (and isn't) made for.

We don't cover Apple products very often, but some devices are simply too good to miss. The AirPods Pro 3 feature a new design, more bass, and better active noise-canceling quality. The earbuds last longer on a single charge and use a hybrid silicone-foam ear tip design for security, comfort, and better passive sound isolation. For some, they'll be the best-sounding AirPods yet.

✅Recommended if: you need the best ANC earbuds, you want earbuds with a heart-rate monitor, you like a bassy sound profile.

❌Skip this deal if: you like the design and sound of AirPods Pro 2; you don't like the in-ear feel of foam ear tips.

There are a few things to know about the AirPods Pro 3, starting with their ANC and sound quality prowess. Apple calls it "the world's best ANC of any in-ear wireless headphones," and I absolutely believe it. The AirPods Pro 3 can turn almost any environment into near-silence, without needing to play any background music to drown out compressed ambient sound. Other earbuds like AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 can get close, but nothing surpasses AirPods Pro 3.

Additionally, the sound quality, though a bit bass-heavy, is stellar. There's the advanced Apple H2 audio processor inside to handle sound and ANC quality. Despite all the inner-workings going on to provide best-in-class ANC power, these earbuds still last for eight hours on a single charge.

From a design and comfort standpoint, Apple changed the angle at which the ear tips enter your ear canal to be more comfortable for most. They're now foam tips wrapped in silicone, so they won't fall out of your ears as easily and will passively block more noise. Some people, including myself, find the new design to be less comfortable. However, if you've found the usual AirPods design to be comfortable in the past, the AirPods Pro 3 should fit just fine.

Combined with the best ANC you can find in a pair of earbuds, AirPods Pro 3 are a compelling package. At $30 off, these are some of the best you can find for just $220 for a limited time. And thanks to holiday return policies from stores like Amazon and Best Buy, you can try them out worry-free into January 2026.
