By now everyone's probably aware of the two Cyber Monday deals floating around for Apple's new AirPods Pro 3 wireless noise canceling earbuds. They normally retail for $249 but you can get either of these modest discounts:
- $219.99 at Amazon (and other popular retailers)
- $249 at Apple Store but you also get a $50 Apple gift card
But there's actually another way you can get it for significantly cheaper. Quickshipelectronics via eBay has certified open box Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds for just $149.99 with free delivery. "Open box" usually implies that these buds are new and unused. There's no mention of an official Apple warranty, however eBay does back this sale up with a 1 year Allstate warranty. Quickshipelectronics itself is a pretty well-known retailer of used or open box goods and its eBay account has nearly 400,00 reviews with a stellar 99.7% feedback rating.

Update: Now you have to join a livestream to get this deal. You'll need to add a credit card for payment. Click on the little icon with the 3 dots to see all of "Buy It Now" deals and the AirPods Pro link should show up.
The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19, so it's just over 2 months old and you can already get it for over 30% off. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing, but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.
Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that will translate other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro, however, since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4.
If you are interested in other models, pretty much every generation of AirPods is on sale. You can check out our full guide to this year's Cyber Monday sales for more deals outside of the Apple ecosystem.
