As a tech reviewer, I’ve tested hundreds of headphones, but there’s one I’m always going back to — the AirPods.

These sleek, minimalistic earbuds have been a staple in my tote bag for many years, and right now, their latest iteration, the Apple AirPods Pro 3, are on sale for 24% off, bringing their price down to just $190.

The reason I love AirPods so much is their stellar noise cancellation, which effectively quiets my surroundings without that sticky, plugged-in feeling most other earbuds give. The fit is secure, and I can wear my AirPods to the gym or on my morning commute with ease.

This option also comes with five eartip sizes and active noise cancelation (ANC). You’ll get eight hours of listening time on a single charge, and the wireless charging case holds several more hours, too.

The new AirPods also have advanced health features like heart-rate sensing and a hearing aid feature, which automatically turns up the volume in conversations to make communications easy. Active hearing protection also helps prevent exposure to loud noises, according to the brand.

My all-time favorite feature with AirPods, though, is audio sharing. This means I can listen to the same music as my sister when I’m visiting her in India by pairing her AirPods Max to my AirPods Pro.

Plus, with adaptive EQ, you can even personalize your audio settings to your liking, giving you full control over what your music sounds like. More bass? Check.

If you’ve been on the lookout for a pair of earbuds that do more than just play music, the AirPods Pro 3 are it, and at their current discounted price, they’re worth your while.
