Black Friday season is here, which means it’s officially one of the best times of year to pick up a new pair of headphones.
True to Apple form, AirPods aren’t cheap, making them an especially coveted pick during the shopping holiday (which is basically on all month long). We’ve already seen the second-gen, USB-C charging AirPods Pro down to their record-low price of $189 (which we first saw crop up during October’s Prime Day sale). Verizon also came up with a surprise deal for the lightning AirPods Pro, bringing them down to a new low of $184.99.
The second-gen AirPods also hit their lowest price ever at $69 for Walmart’s first Black Friday deals event, and Amazon price matched. Though the lowest price you can grab them for now is $79, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for the next time you can grab them for 47% off.
In addition to what we’ve already seen, we’re hoping to see some price drops on the AirPods Max, which two Black Fridays ago made it all the way down to $429 — a price we haven’t seen since 2022. Though they haven’t quite reached that point, with the start of Amazon’s Black Friday sale on Nov. 17, we did finally see them get down to $449.99.
If you’re looking to get the greatest discounts possible on AirPods, either on or before Black Friday’s official kickoff on Nov. 24, we’ll be updating the post regularly with all the best deals.

Why we like it
Walmart is dropping the price of the lightning AirPods Pro to just $169 on Nov. 22, but if you can’t wait another day, Verizon swooped in to give a new price cut and record-low price to the same exact headphones. You’ve probably heard it by now, but the Pros have some of the best noise cancellation of any earbuds on the market. Though the lightning port isn’t entirely future-proof, it is cheaper than opting for the USB-C model.
