$189.99 is where Apple's AirPods Pro 3 sit today across Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. That is $60 off the $249 list price, the earbuds' cheapest since Prime Day in late June. The discount lands $20 above the recorded all-time low.
The $60 markdown
Best Buy opened the sale as part of a broader Apple product promotion covering smartwatches and phones; Amazon and Walmart followed at the same price. The reduction reconciles cleanly: $249 list minus $60 equals $189.99. At that price, the gap to the all-time low remains $20.

|---|---|---|
| Amazon | $249 | $189.99 |
| Best Buy | $249 | $189.99 |
| Walmart | $249 | $189.99 |
What buyers get
The AirPods Pro 3 carry a new design with improved fit, better bass, and active noise cancellation. A built-in heart rate sensor connects to Apple's Fitness app across more than 50 workout types, effectively doubling as a fitness tracker. Sound quality sits above Apple's entry-level AirPods. The Verge's A/V reviewer John Higgins uses the AirPods Pro 3 as his primary pair, citing audio quality, best-in-class active noise cancellation, and ease of use.
Apple ecosystem integration
For iPhone owners, the AirPods Pro 3 sync automatically across Apple devices tied to the same account. Moving from an iPhone call to iPad video requires no manual switch. The Verge names them its top wireless earbud recommendation for iPhone users, with the tighter fit drawing specific notice for workout use.
