Black Friday AirPods Deals

Black Friday is one of the best times of year to grab Apple deals, especially AirPods. So far this sale event, we've seen multiple models hit their lowest prices ever, including the brand new AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 (both with and without Active Noise Cancellation).

The discount on the AirPods 4 without ANC is among our top picks right now, with their price dropping to just $69. That’s 47% off the original list price—an outstanding deal worth taking advantage of. Alongside these, the AirPods Max and AirPods Pro 2 have also seen major price reductions, now at their all-time lows—exactly the kind of savings we love to see.

Which AirPods Should You Get?

When choosing between the wireless earbud models and the over-the-ear AirPods Max, the differences are clear. While they function similarly when connected to Bluetooth or Apple devices, their design varies significantly. Picking between the earbud models is trickier. Here’s how they compare:

AirPods Pro 3: These are Apple’s top-tier earbuds. They include five foam-and-silicon ear tips in different sizes, so you can find the best fit for your ears. Thanks to the silicone material and Active Noise Cancellation, they deliver excellent sound isolation. You can still use the audio pass-through mode to hear your surroundings during calls or conversations.

AirPods Pro 2: This is the prior generation of Apple’s AirPods Pro. They work much like the 3s, but come with only three sizes of silicone ear tips instead of five, and lack foam tips—so noise cancellation isn’t quite as strong. They also have slightly weaker microphones and shorter battery life (six hours vs. eight in the 3s). Still, I use a pair every day and absolutely love them. I don’t feel the need to upgrade just yet.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation: These lack silicone ear tips, so they let in more ambient sound—though when Active Noise Cancellation is turned on, they do a solid job reducing background noise. They feature a one-size-fits-all plastic design that works for most ears, but they don’t seal as tightly against the ear canal as the Pro models.

AirPods 4: These are essentially a wireless version of the earbuds Apple used to include with iPhones and (if you're old enough to remember) iPods. They perform well, but don’t offer any noise cancellation, so you’ll need to increase volume in noisy environments.

These Apple deals are just the beginning. Walmart and Amazon are both offering a wide range of deals on Apple products, including the Apple Pencil (USB-C), iPads, and MacBooks. Apple’s official Black Friday sale kicks off on November 28 and runs through Cyber Monday—so be sure to set a reminder if you’re looking for more savings on other Apple items.
