Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 are drawing attention for stronger sound, better noise cancellation, and improved noise isolation, with some comparing them favorably to earlier AirPods generations. The fit also seems better for workouts and running, and the current price has been matched at Best Buy and other stores, with some stacking PayPal or Amex offers to push the total near or under $200. The main caution is that the upgrade feels minor if the previous generation is already in good shape, and the PayPal discount is not available to everyone. A solid value if the promo lines up and you want the newer tuning.

  • Best Buy price matching can bring the Brandsmart deal price to your order.

  • Using an active PayPal 20% promotion with Best Buy can reduce the effective total below the $229 Brandsmart price.

  • AirPods Pro 3 can deliver a noticeable sound quality upgrade and stronger noise cancellation versus AirPods Gen 1.

    TimonM

  • AirPods Pro 3 can fit more securely during running and workouts, reducing wiggle-out risk.

    Bennieficial

  • Best Buy price-match invoices reportedly expire after about 60 minutes, which can add timing pressure.

    esscuseme

  • Best Buy price matching with PayPal reportedly can be difficult, including restrictions until the item is received.

    RepugnantCreature

  • The PayPal 20% promotion reportedly is not available to everyone, so the lower total may not apply to all shoppers.

    mnagali

  • Battery life cycle reportedly can be worse on AirPods Pro 3 compared with expectations from earlier models.

I'm thinking we'll see $199
I picked up mine from Staples yesterday for $219. Comparing to Gen 1 - the difference is huge in sound quality and the noise cancellation is much more effective.

Got these at regular price. Don't upgrade if you have already have the previous generation in good condition. The improvements are so minimal that it's not worth it.
I have the 2's and I tried the 3's out in the Apple store. The fit was much better for me, which is what I'm really looking for since I do a lot of running and working out and they wiggle out of my ears often.

Except that your battery life cycle will SUCK!

LOL, AP Pro 3 has both better sound quality and noise isolation, but not at 250. Maybe 200

Yes, I just price matched online with delivery tomorrow. with $25 amex offer, this is sweet deal for me. Including tax $252 - $25(amex) = $227

Just to let you know, when you price match, bestbuy will send invoice for the matched price and it's valid only for 60 mins. No PayPal payment as option otherwise it would have been a heck of a deal with 20% of PayPal pay-in-4
Wish I saw this comment earlier. I spent a long time today chatting with BB about getting the price match using PayPal to no avail. I decided to put in a PayPal order at BB's regular price and try to retroactively price match, but every time I tried start a new chat over the 6 or 7 hours I got "all agents are busy right now, try again later". Finally got a guy who told me he can't price match until I receive the item. Hopefully the Brandsmart price is the same tomorrow when I get the delivery

I wonder if this will be the bottom price for a new AirPods Pro 3 this BF/CM. Will continue to wait for now.
Price is already below $200. If you use the paypal promotion/reward with bestbuy ($220 right now for APP3), you get 20% off using paypal pay later. Making this under $200.

Already under $200 if you buy it from bestbuy using the 20% paypal promotion that is going on right now. Search slickdeals on how to get promotion working for paypal.
