why we like it
Basic AirPods just got an upgrade with the new AirPods 5, and last year’s Apple AirPods Pro 3 are on sale again. They were at $234 before October Prime Day, but have since dropped to $179, down $70 from the $249 list price. The earbuds feature ANC, a more comfortable, redesigned fit, and support for Live Translation with compatible iPhones. They’re a good choice for travelers and even measure your heart rate during workouts, which is great for athletes who love a good workout playlist.
