Obligatory "better deal at Costco if you planned on buying AppleCare+"

Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 are landing as a modest upgrade over Pro 2, with the biggest draw being stronger active noise cancellation and a better fit for moving around. The new Apple Translate feature is the main extra, but it also works on AirPods Pro 2, which makes the older model look like the better value for many. Warranty and AppleCare coverage come up often, along with reminders that Best Buy and Costco perks can matter as much as the sticker price. A few reports also flag comfort, battery life, and case quality concerns on Pro 3, so the appeal depends on how much you want the newest version.

  • buyers who specifically want Apple's Translate feature because commenters noted the AI/Apple Translate feature is available on AirPods Pro 2 as well, so the Pro 3 is mainly worth it if you need that capability.

  • everyday AirPods Pro users who care about stronger ANC and better fit while moving around because one commenter said the Pro 3's ANC is much better and the fit is better when they're active.

  • people trying to minimize the total out-the-door cost by stacking delivery and card promos because one buyer said they got them to about $170 delivered by combining Best Buy sale pricing with Uber Eats delivery/tip and AMEX Platinum Uber credits plus Costco gift card math.

  • shoppers who want an easy, fast checkout for multiple pairs because one commenter said ordering a 2-pack via e-gift cards delivered the email codes within about 5 minutes.

    recumbentbike

  • people who are expecting a big upgrade over AirPods Pro 2 because multiple commenters said it doesn't seem like a big upgrade versus Pro 2 and that the only meaningful new feature is Translate (so they'd rather save the money).

    adgurutheicetiger

  • buyers who are sensitive to comfort and battery life because one commenter said AirPods Pro 3 felt less comfortable, had worse battery life (24h vs 30h with the case), and even had an extreme high-pitched ANC whistle issue that they didn't have on their Pro 2s.

    aboynamedjoshua

  • Best Buy members who want points/price-match credit because one commenter warned that ordering through UberEats won't credit the order to your Best Buy member ID and prevents price matches/points from counting.

  • people who don't want to deal with return-policy uncertainty because one buyer said they bought from Apple at full price with engraving and is now wondering whether they can return them after not doing due diligence.

The AI translate feature also works with AirPods Pro 2. 🙂
Thank you. I just checked. You are absolutely right.

Seems like a no brainer. I had to have my pro 2's replaced several times in the first year of owning them. Can't imagine owning them without apple care.
First year you under warranty. They will still get repair or replace for free from apple.

Why are the airpods 4 cheaper by over half? I am entirely uninformed, so all I know is usually later generations are more expensive, and assume airpods 4 are the newer gen than airpods 3? I see airpods 4 on this site for $99?

They actually felt like more of a DOWNGRADE for me personally. Far less comfortable, less battery life overall (24h vs 30h with the case), larger and cheaper feeling case, as well as a rather extreme ANC high pitch whistle issue on the APP3s that is not present on my APP2s or the original Pros (in my personal use anyway), which hopefully can be fixed with a software update. I also personally didn't find the noise cancellation OR sound quality to be much improved, if at all, in my own anecdotal experience. And since all the new software features came to the APP2s as well, I'll be holding onto my Pro 2s instead of "upgrading" for as long as I can.

Is it worth upgrading to the Pro 3? I bought the Black Friday Pro 2 and this would be about a $90 upgrade. Worth it? Or just keep the Pro 2s and wait till they give out to upgrade and maybe the price on these will be down in a year or so?
I had the Pro 2 for since they released and used them everyday. I purchased the pro 3 and think it is worth the upgrade. ANC is much better and I think the spatial audio and bass is an improvement over the Pro 3. Also, the fit is better while moving around

The AirPods 4 are the base or "budget" models. Not to be confused with the "Pro" models which have more features along with higher price tag.
  • AirPods 4 vs AirPods Pro 3.
  • AirPods 4 are the latest non-pro model and the AirPods Pro 3 are the latest Pro model.

Similar to iPad 11" vs iPad Pro 11" (vastly different specs and prices).

That's good to know, I was on the fence about getting this as a gift for someone. Will probably get the APP2 instead.

I got these for $170 after tax and tip from delivery via Uber eats

I bought $200 worth of gift cards from Costco for $160

There is a $15 promotion discount if you purchase from Best Buy and use Uber eats for delivery

AMEX platinum card offers $35 Uber credit for the month of December

AMEX platinum card also gives free Uber ONE delivery

On top of the sale price of $219 it was $170 delivered to my house, including tax and tip
