How expensive will the AirPods 3 be? These are the expected prices

Read on after the ad.

AirPods 3 price: this is what we expect

Bee iPhoned We are cautiously looking forward to September 14th. Apple seems to be holding the big fall keynote on that date. During this event, the company will unveil all kinds of new products that have been worked on in recent months. Most eyes, of course, are on the new iPhone.

This year we expect the iPhone 13, which, like the iPhone 12, would again appear in four models. But don’t rule out the AirPods either. Apple’s wireless earplugs are incredibly popular, which is why we look ahead at the cost in this article. What will the price of the AirPods 3 be?

New entry-level earplugs

Provided: outside of Apple, no one knows exactly how expensive the new AirPods will be. In this article we therefore express our expectations.

The first AirPods came out in 2016. At first, the innovative design (with the long stems) provoked some strange reactions, but the public soon became warm. AirPods are still incredibly important to Apple’s revenue to this day.

That is why the company released a new version in 2019. That same year we also got to see the AirPods Pro, the more expensive version of the ‘regular’ AirPods with better sound quality. At the beginning of 2021, the AirPods Max was added. Apple’s first over-ear headphones target the higher segment and have all kinds of audio functions.

This is what we expect from the AirPods 3 prices

In summary: anyone looking for an Apple headset can choose from one entry-level model and two high-end products. Therefore, it is unlikely that Apple will make the third generation of the AirPods much more expensive. In fact, we would be surprised if the price changes at all. That’s why we expect the following from the AirPods 3 prices:

  • Price AirPods 3 with normal charging case: 179 euros
  • Price AirPods 3 with wireless charging case: 229 euros

The new AirPods may come standard with a wireless charging box sold. In that case, it is likely that the price will increase by 10 or 20 euros to 189 or 199 euros. The current most expensive option, of wireless charging case, then becomes the standard.

We expect Apple to announce the new earbuds simultaneously with the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7, among others. In terms of actual release, we are still in the dark. Leaked information shows that the AirPods 3 may go on sale later than the new iPhones.

More about the new earplugs

The AirPods 3 are rumored to have the same design as the AirPods Pro. So get ready for shorter stems and silicone ear tips for a better fit.

And the cheating with the more expensive AirPods Pro does not stop there. The regular AirPods would also get all kinds of previously exclusive audio functions, such as Spatial Audio (surround sound). In the video below we delve further into all the rumors surrounding the AirPods 3.
