The Price
This year Apple decided to up the price of the regular AirPods by around $20 dollars. However, it might not seem like much; for $179, you can almost buy the AirPods Pro.
Sure, Apple showed that the AirPods Pro list price is $249. And it is if you buy it from the Apple website. But if you go to Amazon, you’ll find the AirPods Pro are just almost $20 more expensive. And it’s possible that they’ll go even lower than that.
Yes, I get it, the AirPods 3 have better battery life than the AirPods Pro, but it’s only because the AirPods Pro have Active Noise Cancelation. Plus, they basically have every other feature the AirPods 3 now have. If you don’t mind compromising battery life, the AirPods Pro are a solid alternative.
