Sales on the AirPods 3 have been very scarce over the last few months, with the last notable discount popping up around Black Friday. Amazon's deal today is about $10 higher than the all-time low price on this model, making it a solid second-best price.

If you're okay with purchasing an older generation model, Amazon also has the AirPods 2 for $99.00, down from $129.00. We track sales for every model of the AirPods in our Best AirPods Deals guide, so be sure to bookmark that page while you shop around for the wireless headphones.

Update: This deal has expired.

I've been tempted by these but I think I'll wait until these go USB-C as well. I think I'm done buying anything with a Lightning connector.

These hurt my ears (bulb is bigger)

I much prefer the AP1/AP2 size and shape in ear
Same here, but got used to it after a few months. What I have not gotten used to is how often they fall out compared to the AP1/AP2. I do like the sound better in the AP3.
