Now is not the time for whimsical intros: the AirPods Pro 3 just dropped to $179 (was $249) at Amazon, and there is no surer sign that Prime Big Deal Days is in full swing — and the huge online retailer is going all-in.

Is this the cheapest they've ever been? It's $10 off — they dipped to $169 back in June, briefly. That said, prices are only going one way, and I doubt they'll return to that figure before the massive sale ends.

Today's best AirPods Pro 3 Prime Day deal

The latest AirPods Pro 3 are always a no-brainer whenever they go on sale anywhere below $199. They're still not cheap at $179, I get it, but the excellent noise cancellation, audio quality and comfortable in-ear design make them worth every penny.

For me, the feature set cannot be bettered if you own an iPhone — they'll fit seamlessly into your commute, workday and life. That is, until their still somewhat under-par battery runs out, but it's a small issue in what is otherwise a truly awesome set of buds, now at a sub-$180 price.

Need more info before you click 'buy'? I can provide that too: you can read more in my full AirPods Pro 3 review (spoiler: it's a 4.5-star rating; I really like them).

If they're not for you, I've rounded up a couple of other options below — they all come highly rated by TechRadar for ANC, features, sound and value.

Happy shopping out there — and always remember to enjoy the music!
