This AirPods Pro 3 deal drops Apple’s best earbuds to Rs 23,900

If you’ve been eyeing Apple AirPods Pro 3 but waiting for a moment when the price drops into “okay, fine, I’ll buy them” territory, this is probably it.

Croma’s ongoing Everything Apple sale pulls Apple’s most advanced earbuds down to their lowest effective price yet. The sale is live until January 11, 2026, so now is probably the best time to get your hands on these premium buds. Let’s break down the AirPods Pro 3 deal.

The AirPods Pro 3 deal, simply explained

The sticker price of the AirPods Pro 3 is still Rs 25,900, but a straightforward bank offer knocks it down. You can avail it if you have an ICICI or an Axis Bank credit card. The offer gives you:

Instant bank cashback: Flat Rs 2,000
Effective price: Rs 23,900

If you’re on a Tata Neu Card, things get even better. You get:

Up to 10 per cent Neu Coins: worth Rs 2,590
Effective price after rewards: Rs 23,310

Prefer to soften the blow monthly? There’s a 24-month no-cost EMI option starting at Rs 1,079 per month, which feels far less dramatic than paying it all in one go. Additionally, if you get a no-cost 9-month EMI, you get an instant Rs 2,000 discount on your total amount too.

What’s special about the AirPods Pro 3

Sound is the headline upgrade of the AirPods Pro 3. A new multi-port acoustic setup brings cleaner vocals, punchier bass, and better separation, whether you’re deep into a playlist or half-listening to a podcast on your commute. Apple has also tweaked the fit, adding foam-infused eartips in five sizes, so they stay put without that constant “are these about to fall out?” anxiety.

Noise cancellation has taken a proper step forward. Apple claims twice the ANC of the Pro 2, and in real-world terms it means traffic, gym noise, and office chatter fade out more convincingly than before. Transparency mode is still excellent, and now lasts longer too.

Durability gets a rare upgrade in this category. With an IP57 rating, these are the toughest AirPods yet, capable of shielding against sweat, dust, and the occasional accidental splash. Battery life is better as well, offering up to 8 hours on a single charge and up to 10 hours in Transparency Mode.

Then there are the clever bits. Live translation powered by Apple Intelligence lets you have real-time multilingual conversations through your earbuds. There’s also built-in heart-rate tracking, turning the AirPods Pro 3 into a low-key fitness companion across dozens of activity types.

Should you buy them now?

At full price, the AirPods Pro 3 feel like a luxury buy. At Rs 23,900, or Rs 23,310 if you factor in Neu Coins, they still cost a pretty penny, but the price is a tad more palatable. You’re getting better sound, stronger noise cancellation, longer battery life, proper durability, and genuinely new features, not just a spec bump.
