Amazon lists AirPods Pro 3 for $179 ahead of Prime event

Amazon listed Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 for $179 on October 4 and 5, a $70 reduction from the $249 list price, ahead of its Prime Big Deal Days event. Reports described the sale as an early promotion, though they differed on whether $179 was a record low. The available price histories do not establish a single definitive historical minimum. The offer was presented as limited-time, but no end time was specified. Reports said Prime Big Deal Days was expected to begin soon, with one describing it as roughly 48 hours away on October 4. The deal was therefore available before the event, but the reports do not confirm how long Amazon kept the price or whether it remained available throughout the sale. Past-price comparisons varied. One account said the earbuds had reached $169 shortly before June’s Prime Day, which would make $179 higher than that price. Another described $179 as matching an all-time low that had not been tracked since around June. Other reports called the offer the second-lowest price or the best seen since Black Friday 2025.
