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.
