True, these premium ANC earbuds have been down by $100 in the past. But we didn’t see them drop to their best price on October Prime Day. Plus, since there’s no way of telling whether they’ll get a bigger discount on next month’s Black Friday, now’s a perfect time to upgrade your audio at a much cheaper price. The AirPods Pro 3 bring some improvements, but hey — they haven’t received any substantial discounts since release. So, if you’re after premium active noise cancellation, superb fit, and seamless connection with iOS devices for less than $170, the predecessor clearly stands out.
Mind you, ANC is indeed top-of-the-line here. Expect keyboard clacks, chatter, traffic noise, and pretty much everything else to completely disappear once it kicks in. Of course, you can also stay in tune with your surroundings with Transparency mode, which is almost lifelike.
Sound quality is just as excellent — the earbuds deliver very clean and balanced audio right out of the box. Unlike some alternatives, they don’t give you overpowering low-end that causes more headaches than enjoyment. The mids are wide and detailed, and the highs are pristine — just what you’d expect from one of the best wireless earbuds.
Let’s not overlook battery life. With up to six hours of listening time per charge and up to 30 hours with the case, they can easily last you several workdays with moderate daily use.
