  "account": "Apple has slashed AU$130 off its flagship earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3, and the AirPods Max 2 has received a 20% discount in a surprise offer that comes just days before Black Friday. The discounted prices, which match those seen during last year's Prime Day sale, make these wireless earbuds an attractive option for iPhone users seeking top-notch noise cancellation, a secure fit, and seamless switching between devices.\n\nThe AirPods Pro 3 have won the favor of many, including the author, who has been using them for over a year without any complaints. The noise cancellation, fit, and sound quality all contribute to making the earbuds a joy to use, and the current price of AU$299 further enhances the value proposition. Moreover, Apple's AirPods Max 2, which was previously priced at $999, is now available for AU$797, representing a significant discount and an ideal time to acquire these highly-regarded noise-canceling over-ear headphones.\n\nBecky Scarrott, an audio expert, praised the AirPods Pro 3 for its superior noise cancellation, stating that \"iPhone owners who value great, shut-out-the-world noise cancellation need look no further than this set of earbuds.\" She further commended the AirPods Max 2, which took home the Headphones of the Year Award, thanks to the new H2 chip, which enhances sound quality, ANC efficacy, and adds new features such as Live Translation, Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Head Gesture control, and Camera Remote.",
  "summary": "Black Friday is still officially a couple of weeks away, but Amazon has seemingly started the party early with some superb discounts on Apple's flagship headphones.",
