It's that time of year again, folks, and I'm not here to waste your time – far from it.

All of the AirPods deals listed here are already live – so if you emphatically need the most popular earbuds in the world (which also happen to be among the very newest) I've got the best AirPods Pro 3 deal for you, right here.

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.

There is also a secondary deal, this time at Best Buy. Essentially, you can find impressive savings at Best Buy when you trade in an eligible device – and that's especially helpful when it comes to bagging yourself some ice-white, Pro-suffixed Apple earbuds.

The deal? It depends on what you'll be trading in, but you could get AirPods Pro 3 for as little as $119.99 (originally $249.99) at Best Buy when you trade in your old headphones from brands such as Apple, Beats, Sony or Bose. That means you could be saving up to $130, an incredible deal for newly released Apple buds.

To find out how much you could save, you'll click on 'Check your trade-in value' on the AirPods Pro 3 product page. Then, answer questions about your trade-in device and based on your answers, Best Buy will present you with the value.

The retailer will also email you shipping instructions for your trade-in device, and once it's received, Best Buy will refund the amount to your original payment method.

Apple AirPods Pro 3: save up to $130 with trade-in at Best Buy
The AirPods Pro 3 are officially available to order, and you can get them for as little as $119.99 when you trade in an eligible device at Best Buy. Upgrades to the AirPods Pro 3 include improved Active Noise Cancellation and audio, a new comfortable in-ear design, and new features such as live translation and the ability to track heart rate, workouts, and calories burned.

I tested both the AirPods Pro 3 and the older AirPods Pro 2. As I mentioned in my glowing 4.5-star review of the AirPods Pro 3, (and as you can read about in our extensive AirPods Pro 3 vs AirPods Pro 2 bulletin), the AirPods Pro 3 are just better across the board: think cocoon-of-silence ANC, better fit, and because of this, better audio quality.

And now, the best AirPods deals that aren't the Pro 3…

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.

Apple AirPods 4

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.

Amazon is running the same AirPods 4 with ANC deal as Walmart. Spooky. 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.

Apple AirPods Max (USB-C)

This deal applies to most but not all color options for Apple's excellent over-ears: the Midnight ones are $50 more expensive than all the other colors. But that's no biggie because the softer shades look much better to my eyes – and the lower price makes these over-ears a much smarter buy. But here's the thing – they've been cheaper than this in the past. I'm not sure they'll get any cheaper this Black Friday, but still, all the other discounts are a lot more impressive.

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.

As with the US AirPods Max deal, this deal only applies to some colours: the orange ones are still full price. But the rest of the range are down £50, making them a bit more affordable.
