The best Black Friday AirPods deals

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (Lightning): $249$169 at Walmart

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (Lightning): <a href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/565706/9383?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&sharedId=hawk&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FApple-AirPods-Pro-2nd-Generation-Lightning%2F1752657021" data-link-merchant="walmart.com"" target="_blank">was $249 now $169 at Walmart
This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the AirPods Pro 2 Lightning-connected model, which is being sold off cheap now that the new USB-C version is out. They sound great, they're full of smart features, and they've never been cheaper – perfect! If you've been considering picking a pair, we wouldn't delay as this deal probably won't last long. 

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): $249.99$189.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FApple-Generation-Cancelling-Transparency-Personalized%2Fdp%2FB0CHWRXH8B%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank">was $249.99 now $189.99 at Amazon
That's right, the new USB-C AirPods Pro 2 are discounted too, but not as much as their Lightning predecessors. You're still getting all the same features as the original but with boosted dust resistance and the future proofing new charging port, which also allows you to reverse charge from your new iPhone 15. Although it's only a 24% discount, this is a top Black Friday deal on the best earbuds you can buy today for Apple fans. But if you don't mind not having a USB-C, we would get the Lightning ones above. 

Apple AirPods (3rd&nbsp;Generation): $169 $139.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BDHB9Y8H%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mdt2_us2%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank">was $169 now $139.99 at Amazon
Amazon's Black Friday deals include Apple's AirPods Gen 3 on sale for $139.99, which is the lowest ever price we've seen them hit before – they were only discounted to this price twice before now. They offer Spatial Audio, improved battery life over the AirPods 2nd Gen, and better sound quality.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): $129 $89.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FApple-AirPods-Charging-Latest-Model%2Fdp%2FB07PXGQC1Q%2F%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank">was $129 now $89.99 at Amazon
This is a pretty average price for Apple's oldest and simplest AirPods. You get some smart features such as auto-switching between devices, easy pairing and Find My support, but the sound is more basic than other models. These dropped to $69 at one point over Black Friday.

AirPods Max:$449.99 at Amazon

AirPods Max: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FNew-Apple-AirPods-Max-Green%2Fdp%2FB08PZDSP2Z%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank">was $549 now $449.99 at Amazon
Finally! Our favorite Apple over-ears are discounted by 18% this Black Friday. This isn't the lowest price we've ever found them – they've been known to hit as low as $429 before – but a $99 discount is still a decent chunk of change saved. You're getting all the usual Apple features, such as spatial audio, as well as multi-point pairing and effective active noise cancellation.

The best Black Friday AirPods deals

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): £229£199 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FApple-AirPods-generation-MagSafe-USB%25E2%2580%2591C%2Fdp%2FB0CHWZ9TZS%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"" target="_blank">was £229 now £199 at Amazon
This is the cheapest that the new AirPods Pro 2 USB-C version has been, making this a no brainer really if you want a pair of Apple's best earbuds. You get great audio quality, superb noise cancellation, smart features including Adaptive Transparency and Spatial Audio, and a small, comfortable design.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was £129 £99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FApple-Airpods-Charging-latest-Model%2Fdp%2FB07PZR3PVB%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"" target="_blank">was £129 now £99 at Amazon
This is a typical price for these earbuds these days, so we wouldn't say it's much of a deal really – but if you want the cheapest AirPods available, here you go. They don't have the more advanced features of newer models, but they feature fast pairing, auto-switching between Apple devices, and Find My support. 

Apple AirPods (3rd&nbsp;Generation): £169 £149 at Amazon

Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FApple-AirPods-3rd-generation-Lightning-Charging%2Fdp%2FB0BDJ6QBTL%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"" target="_blank">was £169 now £149 at Amazon
This 12% saving isn't the lowest ever price we've seen Apple's third generation AirPods hit – they've sold for £143 before – but it is the lowest they've been in the past four months. Keep in mind this is for the lightning charging case model, so if you'd prefer the MagSafe charging case then you'll have to spend an extra £10 at Amazon. 

Apple AirPods Max: £549£499 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Max: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FNew-Apple-AirPods-Max-Space%2Fdp%2FB08Q2CYLTQ%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"" target="_blank">was £549 now £499 at Amazon
This is currently the best discount we've found for Apple's AirPods Max, but it's basically what you can pay for them all year around. We've seen them drop below £400 during sales events before, so this year is disappointing.

The seems to be the best deal on the AirPods 2, and we're not sure it will get better than this when Amazon kicks off its official Black Friday sale. You can also pick up this older, more basic model from <a href="https://getprice.com.au/prodhits.aspx?refname=gplink&shopid=3846&subtag=hawk-custom-tracking&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jbhifi.com.au%2Fproducts%2Fapple-airpods-with-charging-case-2nd-gen" data-link-merchant="jbhifi.com.au"" data-link-merchant="Amazon AU"">JB Hi-Fi for AU$159.

We're expecting the price of the AirPods Pro 2 to drop further soon, but this tiny 5% discount on Amazon still isn't too bad if you're keen on upgrading your Apple headphones right away. Note that this is the recently released USB-C connecting model. From our searches, the previous Lightning-connected model is no longer available to buy through Amazon.

When did the best Black Friday AirPods deals start in 2023?

Black Friday was on November 24, 2023, though most retailers started their official sales events at least a week early. This year, things really started with a big Amazon sale on October 10-11, and other retailers held a series of money-off events following that. 

Most of the same deals are still running over the weekend following Black Friday – but we'll keep an eye to see if there are any new discounts among the best Cyber Monday deals.
