Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are now available at a lower price on Amazon, offering advanced features like noise cancellation and heart rate monitoring, but with limited Android compatibility.
AirPods Pro 3 price on Amazon
Amazon has listed the AirPods Pro 3 at 209 € since October 15, while other retailers like Boulanger, Fnac, and Darty keep their prices around 249 €. This difference of about 40 € makes Amazon a more affordable option for buyers.Features of the AirPods Pro 3
The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s high-end noise-canceling headphones, released in the autumn of 2025. They use the same H2 chip as the previous model but include a more pronounced stem, a heart rate sensor, and an IP57 certification for water and dust resistance.Performance and testing results
In testing, the AirPods Pro 3 were praised for their noise reduction, particularly in the bass and high-mid frequencies, and for better filtering of nearby conversations. However, their sound quality was considered less balanced than the previous generation and they still lack full connectivity with Android devices.Comfort and design considerations
The new design of the AirPods Pro 3 offers a more secure fit but may cause slight discomfort during long use. The earbuds are more effective with an iPhone, offering features like adaptive audio and spatial audio, while Android users miss out on several key functions.Comparison with other models
In a comparison of wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3 scored 9/10, placing them at the top. The Sony WF-1000XM6 also scored 9/10 but offers better audio quality and connectivity features outside the Apple ecosystem. For iPhone users, the AirPods Pro 3 remain a strong choice, but Android users might prefer the Sony model.Price and value for iPhone users
At 209 €, the AirPods Pro 3 are 40 € cheaper than at other retailers. While this is a notable discount, it is not a dramatic drop from the average Amazon price. For iPhone users who need noise cancellation and heart rate tracking during exercise, the AirPods Pro 3 offer good value, though current owners of the previous model may not see a compelling reason to upgrade.
