AirPods Pro 3 drop to their best price ever as Apple announces new iOS 27 features

While we are still slightly under a week out from Amazon’s massive summer sale event, the best Prime Day deal of the year might already be live right now – Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 have now dropped to the best price ever at $169 shipped. 

Prep for iOS 27 and get AirPods Pro 3 at a new all-time low

Whether you’re looking to score Dad some banger new AirPods this year, or just upgrade for yourself, Amazon is getting particularly aggressive with sale pricing on Apple’s latest and greatest personal listening experience, and this year the flagship AirPods deal is landing just ahead of Father’s Day and well ahead of the big 4-day summer Prime Day event next. 

Regularly $249, AirPods Pro 3 are now sitting down at $169 shipped – that’s close to 30% off the list price and the best deal we have tracked online to date. This deal is also now sitting alongside the best price ever on the new AirPods Max 2 as well:

• AirPods Pro 3 $169 (Reg. $249) – New all-time low
• AirPods 4 $99 (Reg. $129)
• AirPods Max 2 $499 (Reg. $549) – New all-time low

Whether or not this price makes it through the end of the month when Prime Day goes live or not is hard to say, but I’m not sure it even matters at a price like this – they couldn’t possibly go for all that much less than this. A few days ago, we weren’t expecting AirPods Pro 3 to drop below their previous all-time low of $179 — but Amazon surprised us nonetheless.

Now, we can say with confidence that anything much lower than the $169 we have right now is basically impossible and going to be hard to lock down unless you’re glued to your screen for 4-straight days in the middle of next week. 

And with all of the new iOS 27 integrations announced at WWDC last week, what were already arguably the best earbuds on the planet are about to get even better.

One of the standouts is an all-new custom EQ feature. This will give you more control over personalizing how your AirPods Pro sound … customize the lows, the mids, the highs to your exact preferences. Also, with expanded GymKit support, the AirPods Pro 3 can now sync heart rate data through iPhone when connected to compatible gym equipment — no Apple Watch required.

Here’s even more iOS 27 news about AirPods:

You’ll want to stay locked to 9to5Toys this month – the early Prime Day deals are already flying on all things Apple, from the latest 2026 M5 MacBook releases, Apple Watch Series 11 (already up to $160 off), iPad, and more.
