As a cyclist who enjoys riding with a good playlist, Apple's AirPods have always been my top pick as the best headphones for cycling. They are always top sellers, with the AirPods Pro 3 having an incredible 16,000 top-rated reviews on Amazon alone, so they rarely come discounted.
Amazon Prime Big Deals Days are live, officially running from October 6th to 7th. A huge early Prime Day deal has just knocked a massive $70 off the Apple AirPods Pro 3.
Down from the $249 list price to just $179, making these flagship earbuds a brilliant early Apple Prime Day deal.

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 represent a major generation leap over the Pro 2s. For cyclists, the standout upgrade is the built-in heart rate monitor, which lets you log real-time pulse data and calorie burn across dozens of activity profiles, which is on par with some of the best heart rate monitors.
Audio performance also gets a serious boost thanks to a redesigned acoustic architecture and Spatial Audio. Apple claims they now deliver deeper bass, crisp detail, and lifelike vocals. Having used both, the sound improvement over the Pro 2 is immediately obvious, but for cycling, the integrated heart rate tracking is a really attractive feature, and has left my heart rate chest strap monitor gathering dust.
I'm also embedded in the Apple ecosystem, and instant device switching remains an unbeatable convenience. However, because they use standard Bluetooth, you can also easily pair them directly with the best bike computers to control your music, hear audio cues, and relay heart rate metrics mid-ride.
This deal is on Amazon US only, and there are no tangible discounts on Amazon UK, just 9%, which takes the Apple AirPods Pro 3 down to £200. You'll also find the best Apple AirPods Pro 3 prices from other retailers, relevant to your location.
