  "account": "Apple's AirPods Pro 3 have dropped to $199 at Amazon, a 20% discount off their usual $249 price, as of September 8th. The earbuds, which have earned a near-perfect 4.75 rating and a Mashable Choice Award in testing, come with several advanced features. Apple has essentially doubled the active noise-cancellation power, significantly improving their ability to block out sudden, jarring noises such as loud voices. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these buds create a personal cone of silence by erasing background chatter and even ocean waves. They've also added built-in heart rate sensors that log workout metrics directly into your iPhone's Fitness app. The earbuds have five sizes of foam-infused tips for a tighter seal, and battery life has been boosted to eight hours on a single charge with ANC enabled. While some users may miss custom EQ controls in iOS, the default, well-balanced sound profile is highly praised. Given the current demand due to memory chip shortages, this steep price drop on Apple's flagship earbuds is indeed a significant win.",
