Of all the Black Friday deals I've sifted through (and reader, I've combed through more than I care to admit) occasionally one jumps off the page like a lightning bolt and makes me utter, out loud, "How much?"
The answer here? En, eye, en, ee dollars… $9.88 to be exact! And let me tell you that when I received this information from my manager Mackenzie Frazier, with a view to coverage, I tersely replied: "That cannot be right Mack… Take it back, Mack" only, this time I'm the one in the wrong. (OK, that's the case most of the time too.)
The princely sum of $9.88 is what you'll pay if you head over to Walmart (as part of the Walmart Black Friday deals) for my favorite budget wireless earbuds – the JLab Go Air Pop.
And the good news is that although this offer was exclusive to Walmart+ members for 3 hours starting from 12pm ET yesterday, it's now available to everyone – so no sign-ups required! They will 100% sell out quickly now, so don't wait around if you want a pair!
If you were thinking about signing up to Walmart Plus though, you can get Walmart+ for half price right now and make sure you're first in line when the next big Black Friday deal drops.
This wild Black Friday Walmart saving sees my beloved JLab Go Air Pop slashed to just $9.88 at Walmart (was $24.88) and truly, I had to look and look again to double check that the $19.50 saving on their original MSRP of $29.38 was real. It's real, guys.
Suffice to say, it's one of the cheapest and best Black Friday earbuds deals live now, and it's emphatically my top pick for a sub-$10 Secret Santa gift, an Advent Calendar inclusion, or just a second pair of buds for a bag or pocket so you're never without portable music.

Today's huge Black Friday JLab deal at Walmart
As I said in my glowing 4.5-star JLab Go Air Pop review: "We've all been burned by buying cheap – buy cheap, buy twice, right? Not here. If you're thinking that one bud will cease to pair after a week, or the case lid will snap off within a day, or a glancing blow from a wet jacket sleeve will kill them, or a speck of dust will put paid to the case registering anything inside it worth charging… well, you're wrong."
What you need to know when considering JLab (whose raison d'etre is affordable earbuds – even its flagship options are great value) is that the JLab Go Air Pop belie their lowly price-point and are emphatically unbeatable for this money. Yes, try to see past the name; there are no audible pops here.
Okay, it's important to note that there's little out there to challenge reputable-brand earbuds at this price, bu tlet me reassure you: you will find a reliable product here.
They are not junk. They sound far better than is reasonable. And wouldn’t life be better if more of us could afford portable wireless music, rather than no music at all?
