With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, Apple has slashed the prices of what could be the perfect gift for your significant other. The cost of third-generation AirPods has been reduced by 17%, bringing the effective price below $140.

Easily among the best wireless earbuds, the third-generation AirPods normally retail at $170, but this discount slashed the price to just $140. This pricing may not last long, so if you’ve been thinking about getting the newest Apple AirPods, you’ll have to act fast.

Moreover, to sweeten the deal, Best Buy bundles three three-month subscriptions to Apple TV+, Fitness+, and Apple Music for free.

Best-in-class audio now gets affordable

These third-gen AirPods were introduced in 2021, and offer significant upgrades over their predecessors. Apple improved the design to make these earbuds feel more comfortable to wear, and the addition of IPX4 certification made the buds dust and sweat-resistant.

These AirPods also come with improved battery life compared to their predecessors. You can expect six hours of battery from the buds, which can go up to 30 hours in all thanks to the charging case.

The case also supports wireless Qi charging; offering a quick five-minute charge gives one hour of playtime.

Other key features include hands-free support for Apple’s digital assistant Siri, compatibility with Apple’s incredible Find My network, which ensures you never lose your Apple devices and more.

The third-generation AirPods are known for their 3D sound, which Apple calls Spatial Audio, and the class-leading noise cancellation. You only need to remember that these discounted third-gen AirPods come with a lightning port, instead of the new Type-C charging case.
