AirPods Pro 3 are $50 off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, and you’re looking for a new pair of earbuds, you’ll be hard-pressed to do better than the AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s flagship earbuds sound great, come with interchangeable tips, and sport a number of intelligent, useful features. However, that package isn’t cheap—Apple has the latest AirPods Pro priced at $249. That’s why they’re great to buy on sale: Amazon currently has the AirPods Pro 3 available for $50 off their usual price.

The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s best earbuds, if you like design, that is. They offer the highest quality sound, best noise cancellation and flexibility in size with their interchangeable tips. If you find that the “one size fits all” approach of Apple’s standard AirPods doesn’t work for you, one of these AirPods Pro sizes may be a better fit.

AirPods Pro 3 also comes with a lot of features. The buds have active noise cancellation, and Apple says they’re four times better than its first-generation Pro. It also has conversation awareness, which lowers the volume of your music while you speak so you can have a conversation, and increases the volume again when you’re done. Apple’s Live Translate feature can translate conversations directly into your AirPods, and you can even use the buds as hearing aids. (They’re actually FDA-approved.)

But those features are also available in some other Apple earbuds. What’s unique here is the built-in heart rate sensor. If you have an Apple Watch, or another fitness tracker, you might not find that particularly useful, but if you don’t, you can rely on your earbuds to monitor your heart rate during exercise for a more accurate fitness measurement. The charging case is Apple’s first to include its second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which makes it much easier to find the case (and your buds) with Find My.

Apple says you’ll get up to eight hours of listening time on a single charge with active noise cancellation (6.5 hours when using the heart rate sensor), and up to 24 hours with the charging case in mind. These are IP57-rated for resistance against dust, sweat, and water, so they’re waterproofevidenceThey should handle the workout properly.
