Apple did something with AirPods Pro 3 that I didn't think earbuds could pull off

• The AirPods Pro 3 bring several design updates and a bunch of new or upgraded capabilities to a product.
• Apple kept the retail price at $249 (and is on sale right now.)
• AirPods Pro 3's leading feature is active noise cancellation that now rivals over-the-ear headphones.

What's the deal: Amazon is currently selling the AirPods Pro 3 for $30 off, marking its first discount since release.

Apple has taken what is arguably one of its most iconic and widely acclaimed products -- the AirPods Pro 2 -- and elevated them with a significant upgrade for 2025. Since the product has a simple mission and it didn't appear that there were a ton of things Apple could do to make them better, it's always a risk to make big changes. 

And make no mistake, there are major changes in the AirPods Pro 3.
