Black Friday AirPods deals 2024: AirPods Pro 2 hit amazing new low price, plus great AirPods Max price

This is $5 cheaper than AirPods Pro 2 have ever been before, and is $15 cheaper than other retailers. They sound excellent, the noise cancellation is top tier, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is amazing for movies, and they even have an unloseable case, thanks to tech that literally points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, so are great for comfort.

This is basically the cheapest AirPods Max have ever been (they may have been literally a couple of bucks cheaper, but not enough to make a real difference). This deal is on the older Lightning version rather than the newer USB-C one (though the charging port is the only change). You'll get their natural and highly detailed sound, excellent spatial audio, and smart Apple-friendly features for a very strong price.

I suspect Apple's all-new AirPods 4 will be a hot item at this year's Black Friday sale, and you can already grab a first-time discount at Amazon. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort, and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports Personalized Spatial Audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and supports USB-C for wireless charging. These are the version without active noise cancellation (and some other extra features).

If you want Apple's open-ear fit (without the in-ear tip) but with active noise cancellation to make it easier to hear your music, these are the buds for you. They also have spatial audio, Find My in the case (including a speaker), and wireless charging. They sound very fun, too, with a full sound. This is the first discount we've seen on them, basically. We'd suggest most people should pay the little extra for the AirPods Pro, but if you don't like that kind of in-ear fit, these will work nicely.

This is a return to the lowest price we've ever seen AirPods Pro 2 for in the UK. These are the best-selling earbuds on the planet, thanks to their superb sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, excellent spatial audio, auto-switching between different Apple devices, gesture control and more. This is available at lots of retailers, but John Lewis is throwing in 3 months of Apple Music for free, so I'd recommend getting that extra bonus.

Also at: Amazon for £179

This is the cheapest these have been in quite some time – they fell to £399 a couple of years ago, so £429 for Apple's highest-quality headphones is not bad at all. You get super-detailed and balanced sound, Personalized Spatial Audio, excellent noise cancellation, auto-switching between Apple devices, and all the other AirPods features you expect. This deal is on the Lightning model, not the newer USB-C one (but there's no difference in other features), and there are only a few colors left… but they include green, which is The Best One.

These are very new, so any discount on them is good – though I'm hoping we'll see another £10 dropped from the price later in Black Friday. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort, and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports Personalized Spatial Audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and supports USB-C for wireless charging. This version doesn't include noise cancellation, wireless charging or the Find My speaker in the case.

If you want Apple's open-ear design that doesn't go right into your ear canals, but you still want active noise cancellation to make it easier to hear your music, these are the buds for you. They also have spatial audio, Find My in the case (including a speaker), and wireless charging. They sound very fun, too, with a full sound. At £10 off, I'd still advice most people to wait for AirPods Pro 2 to fall to £180 again, and pay the little amount more for even better sound and features – but if you want this kind of ear fit, this is the best price for these so far.

Save AU$110

This JB Hi-Fi deal brings Apple's newest AirPod Pros down to a very respectable AU$289 – that's about as low as they get when buying from a big retailer. (They've occasionally been a bit cheaper with eBay Plus coupon stacking, but nothing similar is on offer at present.) These second-generation AirPods Pro remain an excellent pair of noise-cancelling in-ears, especially for iPhone owners, capable of drowning out virtually all external sounds. This latest model comes with a charging case that uses USB-C cable.

There's a modest AU$21 discount on Apple's new AirPods 4 at Big W for Black Friday. Note that these are the cheaper version of the AirPods 4 and therefore don't include active noise cancelling, though they do still pack spatial audio and voice isolation thanks to Apple's new H2 chip. The redesigned charge case provides another 30 hours of battery and charges via USB-C.

Available in the grey, green and pink colourways, DigiDirect currently has the best Black Friday price for Apple's over-ear AirPods, undercutting the next-best offer from Amazon (where they're AU$784.50) by a significant margin. We've occasionally seen these going for under AU$700, so while not an all-time low this is still a fair price if you've been holding out for a good deal.
