Walmart cuts AirPods Pro 3 to $179 ahead of Prime Day

Walmart has cut the price of Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 to $179, a $70 reduction that marks the lowest ever retail point for the model. The deal arrives just before Father’s Day and less than two weeks ahead of Prime Day 2026, positioning the earbuds as a timely gift option for dads. Customers can pick up the deal online or in stores nationwide.

The discount eclipses Amazon’s offer, which lists the same earbuds for $199, and pushes the AirPods Pro 3 below the $99 price of the non‑ANC AirPods 4 on Amazon. Walmart also trimmed the AirPods Max 2 to $499 and the ANC‑enabled AirPods 4 to $148.99, creating a broad price war across Apple’s audio lineup. Such pricing forces competitors to revisit their own Apple accessory promotions.

For shoppers, the steep markdown turns a premium true‑wireless set into an affordable everyday driver, while retailers scramble for Prime Day traffic. Walmart’s aggressive pricing signals that discounting Apple accessories is now a core strategy rather than a peripheral promotion. The deal underscores how holiday‑season pricing can sway brand loyalty among audiophiles. Consumers can lock in the $179 price before the limited‑time offer expires.
