Add The New York Post on Google There are a lot of great headphones out there, but only some make the “hall of fame” in my mind.
The AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for under $200 for a limited time only, getting you an extra 30% off as part of Prime Big Deal Days.
These wireless earbuds have been my top pick for a while for good reason. They’re easy to travel with, come with multiple ear tips for a better fit and offer some of the best noise cancellation I’ve ever heard. In fact, the noise cancellation is 2x better than the AirPods Pro 2.
The new earbuds also have a heart rate sensing feature built in, so they add to your whole health setup when combined with Apple’s Health app. Another great health feature is Hearing Health, which lets you take a hearing test from the comfort of your home.
The earbuds also come equipped with Live Translation, which lets you converse with people in foreign countries without ever missing a syllable.
If you want a pair of headphones that do more than just offer the traditional listening experience, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are a great deal to shop right now.
The AirPods 4 are also available on sale, if those are a better fit for you.
These comfortable over-ear headphones combine pro-level Active Noise Cancellation with Transparency mode so you can focus or stay aware of your surroundings.
