If you're looking to buy a pair of the best earbuds then you're in for a treat courtesy of this $20 off deal. That's because Apple's AirPods 3 have had their price cut once again, bringing them down to their lowest-ever price once more.

The critical thing to know about the third-generation AirPods is that they do not offer active noise-canceling (ANC for short), which you'll need to pay more for in other products, such as the AirPods Pro 2, if that's an essential to your wants list.

Where the AirPods 3 really deliver strong is twofold: the ease of connectivity being the reason they're ideal for Apple users; but also the sound quality, which is really impressive for such a small set of in-ear headphones.

So if you've got $149 in your pocket and are looking for some of the best earbuds for Apple users then these AirPods are a clear option. However, there are strong competitors out there, such as the ANC-toting (and pricier) Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II.

Cost is important too, because if you're looking further up the chain then the AirPods Pro 2 will set you back an additional $50, while the AirPods Max over-ears are more than double the cost of those Pro in-ears. So as deals go this AirPods 3 one is right on the money.
