It's the perfect time to find AirPods Pro deals, thanks to the release of the AirPods 4 and this month's Black Friday deals event. Our guide lists today's best AirPods Pro deals so you can shop today's lowest prices around the web.

While the 2019 first-generation AirPods Pro are no longer available to purchase from the Apple store, you can sometimes find the earbuds on sale at third-party retailers. The original AirPods Pro now comes with a Magsafe Charging Case, which provides more than 24 hours of total listening time and can be charged using a Qi-compatible charging mat or a Lightning connector.

In 2022, the long-awaited AirPods Pro 2 was launched with a starting price of $249 / £249 / AU$399. Thanks to Apple's new H2 chip, the earbuds include enhanced noise cancellation and overall sound quality. At the 2023 Apple September event, the AirPods Pro 2 received an upgrade and now come with a USB-C charging case, so you don't have to rely on a Lightning cable. They also have additional dust resistance and Lossless Audio with Apple Vision Pro.

If you want to spend less than that, Apple's all-new AirPods 4 are available in two models, one which includes active noise cancellation and is priced at $179 / £179.

Below are today's best AirPods Pro deals, comparing prices from the top retailers online so you can find the lowest price available. If you're interested in Apple's newest earbuds, you can also see today's best AirPods 4 deals.

Is the AirPods Pro price worth it?

Even with all the AirPods Pro deals available, the cost of Apple's premium true wireless earbuds is still considerably higher than the standard 2019 generation. However, there are several features and quality of life enhancements that make the AirPods Pro price worth it if you're looking for a more luxurious experience. 

The buds have been completely redesigned, with Apple taking consumer frustrations over the fit of previous generations to heart and building their latest model to not only house all its tech in an ear-friendly shell but also remain flexible in its size. Three tips offer different-sized buds, while internal microphones measure the audio being received by your ear to let you know if you've selected the correct fit. 

The AirPods Pro price also reflects the new Transparency Mode, which allows certain sounds to break through noise cancellation when required. Plus, intelligent, active sound monitoring is achieved through an internal and external microphone adjusting your noise cancellation 200 times per minute. 

The biggest improvements over the previous AirPods lie in this noise cancelation and improved fit. Apple has also spent time in the sound quality department, however. While the audio quality has undoubtedly been improved thanks to custom low-distortion drivers and high dynamic range amplifiers, it's the new Adaptive EQ feature that will boost your music's quality the most. This nifty little piece of tech molds the sound of your tunes to you, tuning low and mid frequencies to the shape of your own ear to boost the quality and richness of the audio on offer. 

If all of that doesn't sound like it appeals, why not check out cheaper AirPods prices in the comparison table below.
