The best AirPods Black Friday deals, chosen by an Apple expert

We’re here – it’s happening right now folks. Black Friday, we are in you! If you’re just searching for Black Friday AirPods deals now, welcome: the headline-grabber Stateside is AirPods Pro 2 for $153.99 from Amazon, the cheapest they’ve ever been! In the UK, you can get AirPods Pro 2 for a joint-lowest price of £179 from John Lewis with 3 months of Apple Music thrown in.

Oh, and a quick shout-out to Apple’s new AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation in the US, which just dropped another $4 to $164.99 at Amazon (was $179.99) or the cheaper version without ANC are now £116.10 in the UK (was £129) at Amazon UK.

Beyond these deals, AirPods Black Friday deals have been a bit light (particularly when it comes to Apple’s over-ear output), although AirPods Max have fallen back to their lowest price of $399 at Amazon if you’re in the US.

I used to work at Apple’s Genius Bar, so I know in-depth everything that AirPods can do with Apple gear, and what constitutes a good deal for them. Obviously as the day progresses, I’ll be keeping an eye on this and all the top Black Friday deals for improvements on these prices, and I’ll update regularly.

My day job at TechRadar is all about AI, but I’m also an Apple expert, and I previously worked for iMore.com – and in the past, I worked at the Apple Genius Bar. I know how to make the most of everything AirPods can do, and I’ve been tracking their prices for years, so I know a good deal for them.

I’ve reviewed over 150 audio products since becoming a tech journalist, ranging from super-budget earbuds to high-end Hi-Res Audio music players. Before joining TechRadar, I spent three years at What Hi-Fi? testing everything the world of audio had to offer; before that, I was a professional dancer. I’ve spent five years working on Black Friday headphones coverage, so between my experience of previous deals and of the headphones themselves, I know what’s a real bargain.
