I'm packing up my Target bought AirPods right now. It's a shame Target ditched their PM policy to other stores. Such a waste. But saving $20 is saving $20.

OP probably doesn't care for the more lively bass heavier (not heavy) tuning compared to the 2s. I love the sound of the 3s, but sound is largely personal which is why so many headphones and buds come with equalizers.

I've owned every variation of the Pros and the 3s are by far the best yet. The sound is not THAT different from the 2s but the noise cancellation and in-ear fit is appreciably better plus you get the heart rate sensor and foreign language translation features.

Bought them the day they were announced. They're excellent and $200 is a great price. No regrets

Community Reviews

AirPods Pro 3 stand out for stronger noise cancellation, a better in ear fit, and longer battery life, with extras like heart rate sensing and live translation. The foam and silicone tips are also credited with improving the seal, which helps both sound and ANC. Sound quality is the main tradeoff, since the tuning is described as less neutral than AirPods Pro 2 and fit still varies by ear. A solid upgrade if comfort and ANC matter more than pure sound.

buyers who can use store price matching to hit the $199 level because multiple commenters said Best Buy can price match the Walmart deal (often via chat) and that it worked for them.
slisula JC_SB CharlesCCC
iPhone users who want Live Translation features and are on a compatible iPhone because commenters noted the translation performance depends more on the iPhone than the earbuds, and Pro 2 also supports it on newer iPhones (so you'll get the feature if your phone supports it).
Stephen.HY-SD
people who already own AirPods Pro 2 and want noticeably better noise cancellation and a more secure in-ear fit because commenters who've used multiple generations say Pro 3 is appreciably better on ANC and fit, even if the sound difference is smaller and personal.
spec2
long-flight or bus-commuting iPhone users who care about battery life because one commenter chose Pro 3 for slightly better ANC plus about 2 extra hours of battery life, while noting Pro 2's case has more charges for times away from power.
Djdneidhheb
workout-focused buyers who struggled with AirPods Pro 2 staying in during exercise because a commenter said Pro 2 "doesn't stay in" for workouts and they'd trade some sound quality for Pro 3 if it stays put without extra attachments.
drwx
people who want to upgrade from AirPods Pro 2 to Pro 3 at a small price gap because one commenter said they upgraded last week and it was worth it "considering the price difference."
ldnola1

people who prioritize sound quality over ANC/fit because some commenters said AirPods Pro 3 is a major step backwards in sound quality versus Pro 2, and others returned Pro 3 because it sounded worse than the 2s.
TheGoodWillOut Gamerxx13 araragi
people who have had comfort or fit problems with AirPods Pro 3 because multiple commenters reported poor fit/comfort (including "too fat" fit) and said they returned them or wished they fit better.
baller1308 MrGreed araragi
buyers who are relying on Walmart delivery/fulfillment to go smoothly because commenters reported Walmart issues like order cancellations/delays, delivery problems, and even receiving damaged/empty packaging.
KawiNinjaZX JC_SB imvp408
buyers who need the earbuds to stay secure when straps/gear move near the ear because one cyclist described helmet straps grazing the earbuds and making them loose, and they compared it to other earbuds with different tip shapes.
drwx
people who are expecting Live Translation to be broadly useful because one commenter said Live Translation wasn't useful for many people (and noted Pro 2 also supports it), so it may not justify the upgrade for everyone.
HY-SD
people who are sensitive to ear pain or have had adverse comfort issues because at least one commenter reported ear pain lasting over a day and said they were scared after reading about multiple replacements still having issues.
PurpleNarwhal693

Comply foam tips can make a noticeable difference in fit and performance.
BrassEnthusiast Pmedina80
AirPods Pro 3 can deliver noticeably better noise cancellation and in-ear fit than AirPods Pro 2.
spec2
AirPods Pro 3 can include heart rate sensing and foreign language translation features.
spec2
Foam plus silicone tips can improve the seal and lead to better sound and noise cancellation.
Hans_Gruber

AirPods Pro 3 fit and comfort can be poor for some ears, leading to returns.
baller1308 MrGreed araragi
Walmart pricing can show a higher amount than the advertised $199 deal price.
Simon00 SeriousTable922 dreamnalaska
Walmart delivery issues can include order cancellations or damaged packaging with limited support.
KawiNinjaZX JC_SB imvp408
AirPods Pro 3 can sound like a major step backwards in sound quality compared with AirPods Pro 2.

Common Questions (5)

Yes, Best Buy can price match the Walmart $199 deal through chat or in-store, and some shoppers also used rewards, certificates, or promos to lower the final price further. One limitation mentioned is that Best Buy may only price match one item per order.
CharlesCCC FairPolice796 excuse_me fwg
AirPods Pro 3 can fit more securely than Pro 2 and stay in better for some ears, especially during workouts and long flights. Others still report poor comfort or no improvement, so fit remains highly ear-dependent.
spec2 drwx drwx MrGreed
Sound is not a clear upgrade for everyone: some prefer the Pro 2's more neutral, open sound and wider soundstage, while others like the Pro 3's bass-heavier tuning. The Pro 3's bigger gains are reported in ANC and fit rather than sound.
TheGoodWillOut spec2 Gamerxx13 MrGreed
Yes, the Pro 3 is reported to have noticeably better noise cancellation than the Pro 2. The improved seal from the foam-and-silicone tips is a big part of that gain, and it also helps with fit.
spec2 Hans_Gruber AquaHeat219 Djdneidhheb
The translation feature depends more on the iPhone than on the earbuds themselves, and Pro 2 can also support it with an iPhone 16 or newer. Pro 3 adds the feature, but the phone model is the key requirement.

Came from APP1 and can say the fit is better. The regular AP, regardless of version, never fits me.

Best Buy will price match. I've confirmed with them just now. Just use their chat feature, speak with an agent, and send them the link to the $199 walmart deal.

All the professional reviews I'm seeing say the opposite. The AirPods Pro 3 are superior on every metric.

I tried yesterday and sent them the 199 link to Walmart. they said it opened up at 251. strange why Walmart has it more than MSRP.

Find a store that has it in stock, it will show 199 and then send that link. That's what I did after they told me it was showing 251 and it worked

I think I have to return mine. Getting crazy sharp/loud screech. I'm reading it's due to some mic interference? Happened 3 times and ear can't take anymore 🥲
