Apple AirPods Pro 3 price drops on Amazon, Xiaomi Buds 6 released as competitor

Apple’s third‑generation AirPods Pro are now sold on Amazon for €219, down €30 (12 %) from the usual €249 price. The earbuds retain active noise cancellation, adaptive audio, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, an IP57 rating, up to eight hours of playback (24 h with the case), and a new heart‑rate sensor that works with up to 50 workout types. They charge via USB‑C, MagSafe or Qi and come with five sizes of ear tips.

At the same time, Xiaomi has launched the Buds 6, a semi‑in‑ear, silicone‑tip‑free design positioned as a direct alternative to Apple’s AirPods. The Buds 6 support lossless aptX and adaptive aptX, offer up to 35 hours of total playback with the charging case, and integrate with Apple’s Find My and Google’s equivalent services. Available in several colours, they aim to provide high‑quality audio without locking users into a specific ecosystem.
