Haven't these been around $169 pretty consistently for over a year now?

$50 off is more of the “regular” price that the AirPods have been. I’m sure there will be bigger sales very shortly.

Why would we pay $199? These things have been $169 or lower... MR even advertised the lower price last month:

This is by no means a good deal. By this time during Black Friday, the AirPods Pro 3 will be $199 or lower.

Think the new ones will be on discount by Black Friday. If one cannot wait, then the 2nd gen version is very good and can be had at very good prices.

Yes, also at lower prices as well, and they are currently $125 at Woot. I'm not sure why this is being advertised.

Because they pay Macrumors to promote this
