Looking for a pair of the very best earbuds ahead of Super Bowl Sunday? You've got to be considering AirPods Pro 3. And right now, Verizon's running the football the absolute best deal I've ever seen!

Today, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are just $184 (was $249) at Verizon. That means they're an incredible $65 off their September launch price, or $15 cheaper than I've ever seen them sell for.

Apple AirPods Pro 3: was $249 now $184 at Verizon

Apple's newest premium buds feature improved Active Noise Cancellation, outstanding audio, a comfortable in-ear design, and new features such as live translation and the ability to track your heart rate (which is likely to go up a lot this Sunday). These do-it-all buds really are 100% flagship audio and the noise-cancelling quality is outstanding. And seeing them drop under $185? That is by far the lowest price TechRadar's dedicated price-trackers have seen, ever.

These iconic buds landed in September 2025 and are hands down the top option for iPhone users who want "great, shut-out-the-world noise cancellation." The updated design is also super comfortable and they provide a heart rate monitor for whenever you'd like that.

You can read more in my glowing 4.5-star Apple AirPods Pro 3 review but remember, time is of the essence here because I've no idea how long Verizon will keep this deal live… 

If pushed for any negatives, there's a slight stamina niggle for me with Apple's in-ear lineup. Don't get me wrong: the Cupertino giant has improved the battery life here, so it's the best you'll get in a set of AirPods earbuds, at up to eight hours from the buds with ANC on, (up from six hours for the AirPods Pro 2). That's without Spatial Audio, heart-rate monitoring and a few other of AirPods Pro 3's bells and whistles on, of course, and I found the stamina a bit lower than that in real life (around 5.5 hours per charge) so it's fine, rather than fantastic.

All of this aside, AirPods Pro 3's sound is, as I said in my review "both zealous and head-turning (especially with dynamic head-tracking on), bringing your music to your ears with panache and, hang it all, joy." And they can do this thanks largely to the neatest near-silent ANC performance I've ever experienced using an iPhone source device.

To me, that's worth this kind of money all day long.

This is a cracking deal, but if you'd like to explore more of the best earbuds savings we've seen, then check out our AirPods deals and Bose headphone deals pages.
