The new 3rd genAppleAirPods are down tojust $140.98 (was $179)at Amazon today thanks to a nice little saving at checkout. That’s the cheapest price yet on these great new buds and one that even beats this retailer’s Black Friday discount by a whole $9.
A total saving of $39 makes the latestApple AirPods 3a tempting proposition in our eyes. At full RRP, they’re fairly close to the general sales price of the more premium AirPods Pro but this discount atAmazonreally cements their position as the mid-range offering between the AirPods Pro (on salefor $179) and the still-available second-gen older AirPods (on salefor $99).
While they are pricier than the older 2nd gen AirPods, the latest 3rd gen AirPods do have a couple of key upgrades to justify that price tag. Audio quality is generally better, they feature a refreshed, more ergonomic design, and they also now include the latest Spatial Audio tech - something that was formally missing on the standard AirPods. As with the latest Pro model, you’ll also get a new MagSafe charging case that supports wireless charging from the get-go.
If you’re looking for something cheaper, or more premium, you’ll also find more AirPods deals from Amazon on the other models. We’ve rounded up those prices and a general model comparison just down below.
