Audio-loving friends, for me Black Friday is important for two main reasons. Firstly, because money always seems to be tight at this time of year, and second, because the Holiday Season is approaching and I want everyone to have something to open.

And the good news is that some of these earbuds options really are cheap enough to be that something. Earbuds costing over $300? That's so 2019…

One quick thing: please don't read this missive, click through to one of the big retailers, go off on a tangent and buy a set of buds that neither myself nor the wider TechRadar team has mentioned or reviewed. Or, if you do, just don't ask me to recommend it retrospectively. The thing is, the these deals (and only these deals) are the ones I've reviewed and tested – that's why I'm recommending them to you.

Not after earbuds this Black Friday? That's OK, TechRadar's more general (but still personally curated, and only containing deals we personally love) Black Friday deals page will send you on the right path. Otherwise, I've also got a roundup of the best Sennheiser headphones and earbuds deals, my collection of the best Bose Black Friday headphones deals or our dedicated Black Friday headphones deals live blog, if that's what you're after. going – and remember to always enjoy the music.

The best Black Friday earbuds deals, US

Nothing Ear (a)
Save 46% ($50)
Nothing Ear (a): was $109 now $59 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

This is the cheapest these have ever been! They've been $79 before, but this chops an extra $20 off that – hurrah! For this price, the deal is immense. Outrageously good audio, ANC and perks for the level. Highly recommended.

Bose  QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Save 28% ($83)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) : was $299 now $216 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

On the face of it, a 28% saving isn't the most headline-worthy sale you'll see on Black Friday. But this is Bose – and it's also the first ever saving I've seen on this set of 5-star, 2025-release noise-cancelling earbuds. They basically walk all over anything else on the market for noise cancellation (except maybe Apple's AirPods Pro 3 – but if you don't own an iPhone I don't recommend those, however good the deal). A lowest-seen fee on a truly excellent set of new earbuds from Bose? Yes please.

JLab Go Air Pop
Save 60% ($15.11)
JLab Go Air Pop: was $24.99 now $9.88 at Walmart
Read moreRead less

Before we get super carried away, the JLab Go Air Pop are not the last word in sonic brilliance – if JLab had managed that for around the price of a Frappuccino, we could all go home. But they're only $9.88! They've never dipped below $17.99 before now, and they also aren't half bad – in fact they're alarmingly good for this outrageous asking fee. If this is truly where your budget maxes out, you'll get reliable Bluetooth connectivity, killer battery life, comfortable and light earpieces, and solid musicality on the go. It would be churlish to expect more. I've been testing earbuds since 2019 and I love them. Secret Santa gift with a $10 spending cap? Sorted, my friend…

Apple AirPods Pro 3
Save 12% ($29.01)
Apple AirPods Pro 3: was $249 now $219.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

No, it's not a massive discount, but it's the first real one we've had, and it's a decent one, taking 12% off the usual price of Apple's newest and most advanced ANC earbuds. The main difference between the Pro 3 and Pro 2 is the addition of heart rate sensing and Live Translation using Apple Intelligence, and the ANC is vastly improved, as I covered at length in my AirPods Pro 3 review – which is no small statement given that the ANC in the AirPods Pro 2 was already excellent.

Technics EAH-AZ100
Save 26% ($77)
Technics EAH-AZ100: was $299.99 now $222.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

The excellent EAH-AZ80 that came before this model basically tore up the rule book on sound quality and features in wireless earbuds – and the AZ100 are even better. Released in January 2025, these little beauties are still the only earbuds to offer multipoint to three devices simultaneously plus excellent sidetone tech for hearing your own voice in calls, as well as some of the most neutral and detailed audio in an even smaller, even more premium-feel design. Oh, and the deal? They've never dropped this low in price until now. Highly recommended.

Sony  WF-C510
Save 31% ($21.99)
Sony WF-C510: was $69.99 now $48 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

We said in our review of the WF-C510 that these are among our favorite low-cost earbuds thanks to their punchy, high-quality sound, comfortable fit and ultra-affordable price. We rated them four and a half stars when they were at full price, and said they're preferable even to Apple's more expensive AirPods 4 as great budget buds. At this discounted price they're an absolute steal, as long as you're happy without active noise cancellation.

Apple AirPods Pro 2
Save 42% ($100)
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $239 now $139 at Walmart
Read moreRead less

This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the AirPods Pro 2, and it's an astounding value for earbuds this good. They sound superb, they have high-tier noise cancellation, they have an unlosable case, and they have the newer Live Translation and hearing aid features that also feature on AirPods Pro 3 – these are only missing the heart-rate sensors of the new model in terms of major features.

Sony WF-C710N
Save 40% ($51.99)
Sony WF-C710N: was $129.99 now $78 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Sony's newest mid-range wireless earbuds for less than $80 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale? Yup: this is a real bargain. For this money, you're getting Sony quality for the kind of money you'd expect to pay for a much lesser brand. In our Sony WF-C710N review, we heaped praise on these buds for their bolstered battery life, fantastic sound quality and upgraded ANC. At this price point, my recommending them is a no-brainer – at a third of the price of the high-end Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds, we think these are the better-value buy.

Apple AirPods 4
Save 47% ($60)
Apple AirPods 4: was $129 now $69 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Apple's most affordable AirPods are currently at their lowest ever price on Walmart, and that makes them an even better buy. At under $70, these are great: they have personalized spatial audio, better-than-promised battery life (based on our testing), and fantastic integration with Apple's other devices.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: was $299 now $229 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Bose is one of the biggest names in the world of headphones, and their reputation for quality is shown in these earbuds. The Ultra Open boast incredible sound, supreme power, and excellent battery life, making them a seriously premium pair of all-around buds. Now at a record-low price (as long as either black, 'sunset iridescent' or 'moonstone blue' finishes work for you), so there's no better time to buy.

Apple AirPods 4 with ANC
Save 44% ($79.01)
Apple AirPods 4 with ANC: was $179 now $99.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Amazon is running an unbelievably good deal on the AirPods 4 with ANC. Everything I've said above about these AirPods applies here: they're the best earbuds for iPhone users who want Apple's excellent device integration and ANC without having to shove anything into your ear canals.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
Save 28% ($50)
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: was $179 now $129 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

Bose's affordable earbuds offer top-tier active noise cancellation, but without a top-tier price tag. In our 4.5-star Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review, we said they were already "arguably best-in-class value" at full price, so for this price they're especially great. We praised their comfort and sound quality as well as the amazing ANC.

Shokz  OpenDots One
Save 40% ($80)
Shokz OpenDots One: was $199.95 now $119.95 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

This is a very solid deal on some great clip-on open earbuds. They only arrived in May 2025, so this is one of the first few times our price trackers have ever spotted a discount on them. How good are they? Very very good, as out glowing Shokz OpenDots One review proves. Again, this deal won't last long though – quick!

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2
Save 31% ($55)
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: was $179.95 now $124.95 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

A $55 saving on the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 (bone conduction headphones that don't actually go into your ear) is not to be sniffed at, especially as it's the biggest discount these headphones have ever had – they briefly dropped to $139 before now, but never this low! Available in both standard and mini sizes in three colors, the Pro 2 uses bone conduction and air conduction to deliver great sound on multiple fronts, all while keeping you aware of your surroundings. Calling someone? An AI noise reduction algorithm filters out 96.5% of background noise.

Sennheiser IE 600
Save 31% ($250)
Sennheiser IE 600: was $799.95 now $549.95 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

And a wired set! I love my own personal set of IE 600 (and the wider TechRadar team has written odes to their pairs), so I really want you to know about this saving. For clarity, it's an excellent deal too: the cheapest they've ever been on Amazon is $499 to date, so if you want to check to see if they fall this low again, Black Friday weekend is probably the time – at this very link. They're fashioned from a metal called ZR01 amorphous zirconium. Sounds premium, right? That's because it is – it's the same metal used for the drilling head of NASA's Mars Rover. And the sound? Oh, don't get me started (but do go to our Sennheiser IE 600 review if you need to know more).

The best Black Friday earbuds deals, UK

Bose  QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Save 10% (£30)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) : was £299.95 now £269.95 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Again, on the face of it, this saving isn't the most headline-worthy sale you'll see on Black Friday. But this is Bose – and it's also the first ever saving I've seen on this set of 5-star, 2025-release noise-cancelling earbuds we've ever seen. They basically walk all over anything else on the market for noise cancellation (except maybe Apple's AirPods Pro 3 – but if you don't own an iPhone I don't recommend those, however good the deal). They're currently dipping below £270, but only in certain colourways. A new lowest-seen fee on a truly excellent set of new earbuds from Bose? Yes please.

Nothing Ear (a)
Save 34% (£30.01)
Nothing Ear (a): was £89 now £58.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

My five-star Nothing Ear (a) review is the place for the full scoop on the fun, energetic sound of these buds, but know that they have great noise cancellation, a compact design, and a truly eye-catching look – especially in my favourite yellow colour (also in the deal at the time of writing). This is a record-low price for them, and there are simply no better earbuds you can buy for under £60.

JLab Go Air Pop
Save 33% (£10)
JLab Go Air Pop: was £29.99 now £19.99 at Walmart
Read moreRead less

Before we get super carried away, the JLab Go Air Pop are not the last word in sonic brilliance – if JLab had managed that for around the price of a round, we could all go home. But they're extremely good value – in fact they're alarmingly good for this asking fee, and they absolutely, categorically are not junk. If this is truly where your budget maxes out, you'll get reliable Bluetooth connectivity, killer battery life, comfortable and light earpieces, and solid musicality on the go. It would be churlish to expect more. I've been testing earbuds since 2019 and I love them. Secret Santa gift with a £20 spending cap? You could do a lot worse…

Technics EAH-AZ100

The excellent EAH-AZ80 that came before this model basically tore up the rule book on sound quality and features in wireless earbuds – and the AZ100 are even better.

Apple AirPods Pro 2
Save £30
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was £199 now £169 at John Lewis
Read moreRead less

This is £10 cheaper than we've ever seen AirPods Pro 2 available for before. In the UK, the price difference between these and AirPods Pro 3 is much closer than in the US – the newer model are £50 more at £219 – but I think a lot of people will be more than happy with the sound quality and noise cancellation of these models, and £50 left in your wallet. And they have practically all the same features as AirPods Pro 3, except for the heart-rate sensors.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
Save 42%
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro : was £219 now £127 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

I'm not being dramatic here: at this price, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 are an absolute steal. By making them £127, Amazon is selling them cheaper than they've ever been – and honestly, it's a lot less than you'd pay for many far less capable capable earbuds. At full price the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro get four out of five stars. At this price (and now with added Google Gemini smarts), they basically get six out of five.

Shokz  OpenDots One
Save 20% (£35)
Shokz OpenDots One: was £179 now £144 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

At the time of writing, this deal only has 15 hours to run in this Amazon limited-time deal, so I'd best get cracking! They only arrived in May 2025, so this is the first time our price trackers have ever spotted a discount on them. How good are they? Very very good, as out glowing Shokz OpenDots One review proves. Again, this deal won't last long though – quick!

Sony WF-C710N

Sony WF-C710N: was £99 now £74.99 at Amazon

Yes, you can get Sony's newest affordable wireless earbuds for less than £75 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale – talk about a bargain! This is £5 cheaper than they were during the last big sales event (Amazon Big Deal Days) and for this money, you're getting Sony quality for non-brand money. In my Sony WF-C710N review, I heaped praise on these buds for their bolstered battery life, fantastic sound quality and upgraded ANC. At this price point, my recommending them is a no-brainer.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds

Bose's most affordable earbuds offer top-tier active noise cancellation, but without a top-tier price tag.

We praised their comfort and sound quality as well as the amazing ANC.

Technics EAH-AZ80: was £259.99 now £148.99 at Amazon

These are the older set to the EAH-AZ100, listed above, but they're still excellent. The most-asked question I get when I tell acquaintances I'm Audio Editor at TechRadar is "What are the best earbuds with noise cancelling for under £150? The answer is: as of today you're looking at 'em. The EAH-AZ80 are currently still the only earbuds to offer multipoint connectivity to three devices, but that's just for starters (see our Technics EAH-AZ80 review for more info). This Black Friday discount is also as low as I've seen to date, by £50. Buying a gift for the audiophile in your life? I thoroughly recommend these, even though a newer set is in town. I still use these every day (and I got a pair in 2023, to test ahead of their official release) and my recommendations are hard to come by.

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2
Save 20% (£34)
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2: was £169 now £135 at Amazon

OpenRun Pro 2 (a set of bone conduction headphones that don't actually cover the ears so are almost like open earbuds!) are among the very best running headphones available right now, at the lowest price they've ever been – a solid Black Friday no-brainer for the long-distance runner in your life.

Sennheiser IE 600

And finally, a wired set! I adore my own set of IE 600 (and the wider TechRadar team has written odes to their pairs), so even though the deal is available only on Sennheiser's website at the time of writing, I'm listing it here because I want you to have at the saving. For clarity, it's an excellent deal, if you're prepared to start another online shopping cart: the cheapest they've ever been on Amazon is £449 to date. They're fashioned from a metal called ZR01 amorphous zirconium. Sounds premium, right? That's because it is – it's the same metal used for the drilling head of NASA's Mars Rover. And the sound? Oh, don't get me started (but do go to our Sennheiser IE 600 review if you need to know more).
