The AirPods Pro 3 Are $20 Off

Looking for a a new pair of headphones to pair with your favorite iPhone or iPad? Right now, you can get the Apple AirPods Pro 3 for just $229 on Amazon or Best Buy, which is $20 off their usual price. These are our favorite wireless earbuds for iPhone owners, with excellent noise cancellation, easy connectivity, and unique features like heart rate and live translation.

Active noise cancellation on the third-generation AirPods Pro has improved significantly, with our reviewer Parker Hall comparing them to the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 earbuds when it comes to filtering out all but the highest frequencies and loudest noise. The improved tips, now lined with foam, are more comfortable and fit smaller ears better, with four different sizes to choose from. They also have better sound insulation, which noticeably improves noise cancellation and transparency mode performance.

While Android owners have a variety of choices when it comes to headphones and earphones, iOS users will appreciate the additional features designed specifically for everyone in the Apple ecosystem. If you like to run with minimal devices, the AirPods Pro 3 can actually measure your heart rate through your ears, a neat trick that we found surprisingly consistent with other fitness trackers. Another unique feature, Live Translate, will bring up the Translate app on iOS and deliver what someone else is saying directly into your ears in your own language. Once again, we were impressed with the speed and accuracy of the system, and as more languages ​​are added it will become even more useful.

We really only had two minor complaints about the AirPods Pro 3, one of which was that the default EQ is a bit V-shaped, with slightly exaggerated bass that’s either very engaging or slightly grating. Luckily, you can change your EQ in Spotify or Apple Music to enjoy this experience. The other problem is that they have limited compatibility with Android devices, so if you’re using a Samsung or Pixel, you’ll want to check out our other favorite headphones. For iPhone and iPad owners looking for the latest in their listening experience, the discounted AirPods Pro 3 are a great choice.
