Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 at Staples are mainly appealing for the in store price match and the stronger noise cancellation and comfort versus AirPods Pro 2. The deal has also worked with rewards points, store coupons, and manager overrides, which can push the out of pocket cost much lower. The main catch is that the $219 price has been inconsistent, with online showing full price, some stores ringing up $249.99, and the ad appearing pulled early. Black Friday pricing and Costco bundles with AppleCare are the main alternatives, making this a useful stopgap if you can verify stock and pricing.

  • In-store staff can correct the register price to match the website ad, enabling a much lower out-the-door total.

  • Staples rewards points can be used toward the purchase, and reward purchases can be tax free.

  • AppleCare can be added through Staples, and the total can come out slightly lower than a Costco bundle when priced with AppleCare.

  • AirPods Pro 3 can deliver noticeably better noise cancellation and comfort compared with AirPods Pro 2.

  • Some stores ring up the item at $249 instead of honoring the $219 ad price, making the deal unreliable.

  • The weekly ad listing can appear expired or pulled early, and screenshots may not be enough to prove the discount.

  • The $219 price may require an in-store purchase and some local stores may not have stock available.

  • After a little more than a year, an AirPods Pro 3 right earbud reportedly became unusable due to a weird sound.

I don't know if you really need applecare for your airpods
Don't know if it still works but you could cancel care and get a refund from , I've done this a few times, used to work via chat but had to call the last time. Still the same price if care is $30.

Just got back from the store. It rang up as $249.99, but I had the manager check the website ad and correct it.
I had $27 in reward points, so it came out to $192.99, $213.45 after tax. Good deal

I'm not feeling 199 by bf/cm. Maybe a Christmas sale comes through when the pro 2 are more fully flushed from inventory.

I had 3 pairs of AirPod pros 2 myself. I haven't use life translation but the noise cancelation is leaps and bounds better on the 3 than 2. Sure we run the risk of it being nerfed over time but I'm already looking to sell my old AirPods and buy another pair during Black Friday. Much more comfortable too

Applecare for pro 3 costs $19.99 annually. This deal is better than Costco's. You can add applecare online later in your apple account
