As crazy as such a notion would have sounded just last month, Apple's noise-cancelling AirPods 4 have been on sale at a huge $80 discount from a $179 list price for a good couple of (uninterrupted) weeks now. And as unlikely as it might seem, I have a different deal on an even better product to recommend today (at least for some true wireless earbuds buyers).
Yes, the newer and (far) superior AirPods Pro 3 are also substantially marked down (by their standards) one final time before Christmas. Amazon's reloaded Black Friday offer on Apple's latest and greatest ultra-high-end buds may not look as spectacular as the aforementioned AirPods 4 promotion at first glance, only slashing 30 bucks off a regular price of $249, but that's not just the product's heftiest discount yet.
Apple AirPods Pro 3
$29 off (12%)
True Wireless Earbuds with World-Class Active Noise Cancellation, Apple H2 Chip, Adaptive Audio, Transparency Mode, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Live Translation, Heart Rate Sensing, Hearing Aid, USB-C MagSafe Charging Case, Up to 8 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 24 Hours of Battery Life with Case, IP57 Water and Dust Resistance, White
It's also the only one I've seen major retailers like Amazon roll out after the AirPods Pro 3's release back in September, and no one could have anticipated its return following the end of everyone's Black Friday and Cyber Monday campaigns last week.
Fortunately, Amazon's generosity has been extended (or rather revived), and yes, if you hurry, you can still receive your cheaper-than-ever third-gen AirPods Pros on your doorstep (well) before Christmas.

Now, are these bad boys more than twice as good as the aforementioned AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation, as their price currently suggests? That's... debatable, but what I can say is that they do hold a number of key advantages you can't really put a price on, including heart rate monitoring (in your ears, yes), Live Translation functionality, significantly better overall sound, vastly improved battery life, and yes, way better noise-canceling skills.
