This is no secret black friday i Cyber Monday are some of the best times to pick up Apple devices. You’ll rarely find direct discounts at Apple, but other retailers tend to have good sales this time of year on things like iPads, MacBooks, and AirPods. Specific case: the AirPods Pro 2 they’re on sale for $154 right now, which is an all-time low. The recently updated AirPods 4 they’re also on sale, starting at $119.
While we periodically see AirPods drop in price throughout the year, the best time to buy is during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday time period. However, that also means they might be some of the first tech items to sell out, so if you’ve spotted a new pair or want to give one as a gift this holiday season, we recommend getting your hands on them now.

AirPods Pro 2 are the best wireless headphones Apple makes with excellent sound quality and ANC, along with good battery life. They have all the conveniences you’d expect from a pair of Apple headphones, including quick connection and switching between Apple devices and hands-free Siri. And with a recent software update, the AirPods Pro 2 can work as hearing aids for those who take Apple’s hearing test and the results show mild to moderate hearing loss.
While the AirPods Pro 2 have looked and felt pretty much the same since their initial release, the AirPods 4 received a major makeover this year. They now come in ANC and non-ANC styles, and have a slightly revised open design. The H2 chipset inside gives them the same Apple conveniences as the AirPods Pro 2, but note that neither model supports MagSafe charging via wireless chargers. But these buds have improved sound quality and a better fit than the AirPods that came before them, and they’re noticeably more affordable than the Pro 2.
If you prefer over-ear headphones, your only option in the Apple ecosystem (besides Beats) is the AirPods Max. You can grab them for $400 right now. We always recommend waiting for a sale to buy these cans, as they start out much more expensive than all of our top picks for the best wireless headphones. They also carry the H2 chipset inside, along with good sound quality and ANC, reliable touch controls and solid battery life.
