Just the mere mention of Amazon Prime Day has sent prices into a tailspin. Though the shopping event of the season doesn’t officially kick off until June 23, we’ve already got mad deals to shout about. The Apple AirPods Pro 3, in particular, have never been this cheap.

As of June 11, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to just $179 at Amazon, Walmart, and Target (mysteriously, Best Buy has them at full price). That’s $70 or 28% off their list price of $249 and a new all-time low price.

“The AirPods Pro pop up on most best of lists, and though we’ve always been fans, the third generation takes these earbuds to a new level,” writes Mashable’s reviewer. The Pro 3’s noise cancellation is twice as good as the Pro 2’s. They have even better battery life at eight hours with ANC and 10 hours in transparency mode. Plus, they added the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite workout earbuds), a live translation feature, and new foam-infused tips that come in various sizes for the right fit.

If you already own a pair of AirPods Pro 2, you probably don’t need to upgrade to the 3s. But if you’re buying AirPods for the first time or need to replace ones you lost, this price drop should seal the deal. There’s always a chance they could get even cheaper for Prime Day, but $179 is already the cheapest they’ve ever been.
