The big thing here is that this includes 2 years of AppleCare. For some people that's really important. For others, its not important at all.
I do think this will be $169.99 without AppleCare all over on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Community Reviews
Apple AirPods Pro 3 with two years of AppleCare+ stands out as a way to get Apple's top earbuds with built-in protection at a lower effective price than buying coverage separately. The included AppleCare+ is the main draw, since it can simplify replacements and even cover a full unit swap in some cases. The deal has appeared before, and similar or better prices may show up around Black Friday or through other Costco and Uber Eats gift card math. It is a stronger value if you want the coverage now rather than waiting for a possible lower sale.
The included two years of AppleCare+ can make replacements easier through battery-health coverage.
Stacked Costco and Uber Eats promos can reportedly bring the effective price into the ~$150 range with AppleCare+ included.
AppleCare+ can provide replacement units on an annual cadence, which can improve long-term value.
Costco has reportedly replaced an entire AirPods set after a lost-earbud report.
If immediate use is not required, waiting for Black Friday pricing may reduce the effective cost further.
AppleCare+ replacements reportedly may be refurbished units that can fail again about 18 months later.
AppleCare+ replacement eligibility is tied to battery health below 80%, but battery health may not be measurable for AirPods.
The deal may be less attractive if AppleCare One is already in place, since AirPods can be added to that plan.
