Last week, I wrote that Walmart's latest price cut on the latest Apple AirPods Pro 3 likely won't be beaten in the upcoming Amazon Prime Day sale. Well, annoyingly (for me), that prediction wasn't the case as the premium buds have just gotten even cheaper at the retailer.
They were listed for $179, but today they've gone down to just $169 (was $249) at Walmart. That's a price that easily smashes the previous record-low on one of the most popular Apple products.
Interestingly, Amazon has listed the buds for $179, so there's a real battle going on right now for the lowest price on the AirPods Pro 3. Having been proven wrong, I won't say if these buds will go any lower. Personally, however, I'd be happy picking these up for $169 for sure. Not only are they the latest AirPods Pro, but they're easily some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy right now.
Amazon Prime Day is set to start next Tuesday (June 23), so there isn't that long of a wait until Walmart's rival potentially matches its latest price cut. Before these discounts, the AirPods Pro 3 were generally retailing for around $199, so these deals are definitely worth checking out if you're interested in the latest model.

Are the latest AirPods Pro 3 worth it?
We awarded the buds an impressive four and a half stars out of five in our AirPods Pro 3 review, calling them 'near-perfect noise-cancelling earbuds' at the time. They're still a little pricey, no doubt, but not many buds offer such excellent noise cancellation performance as the AirPods Pro 3.
If we had to pick holes, we'd say that the AirPods Pro 3 don't have the best battery life in the world (around 5.5 hours in our testing), but they're almost perfect otherwise. The customizable ear tips provide great comfort and noise isolation, while new features like Spatial Audio, heart-rate monitoring, and live translate mean they're a fantastic pairing with one of the latest iPhones.
