AirPods Pro 3 drop to $220 — Black Friday deal on Apple’s flagship earbuds

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $220 (down from $249), matching one of their lowest prices this season. If you’ve been considering an upgrade, this deal is a solid chance to grab Apple’s current flagship earbuds at a discount.

The AirPods Pro 3 refine the formula with richer audio, improved active noise cancellation (ANC), and Apple’s Live Translation feature powered by the H2 chip. Battery life has increased to about eight hours with ANC on, plus roughly 24 hours additional from the MagSafe charging case. The case also includes an updated U2 chip for improved Precision Find My tracking.

Key features

• Improved soundstage and deeper bass compared with previous models.
• Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes for situational awareness.
• Live Translation for real-time language assistance via Siri and iOS Translate.
• Up to ~8 hours playback with ANC on; case adds ~24 hours. MagSafe charging and Precision Find My support.

Who should buy

These are the best pick for iPhone users who want seamless integration, top-tier ANC and handy extras like Live Translation. If you prioritize price over ecosystem features, consider the AirPods 4 (on sale at lower prices) or premium over-ear options if you want a different listening profile.

Buying tips

• Confirm the seller and warranty when buying on sale — official retailers and Amazon Verified listings reduce risk of counterfeits.
• Compare recent price history to ensure this is the low you want to chase; use price trackers if you’re patient.
• Consider alternatives (AirPods 4, Sony, Bose) if ANC performance or sound signature matters more than tight Apple integration.
