I'm a wired earbuds enthusiast and these are the three best offers I've seen this Black Friday

It may be hard to believe, but Black Friday is already upon us and we've already found so many phenomenal Black Friday deals. And that applies to the wild world of wired earbuds, with a healthy portion of models available for incredible low prices.

I'll admit it, reader. It was a bit of a slow start this year, with a lot of the best wired earbuds only getting hit with discounts on the big day. But now the Black Friday deals are in full swing, I've collected three of the absolute best offers across both the US and UK. I've also endeavoured to find an option that will suit anyone, whether on a small, medium, or high budget – it's ok, hold your applause, I don't deserve it.

So what models have I selected? Well, if you're on a tight budget you can snap up the Apple EarPods for just $15.96 / £16 today. In my Apple EarPods USB-C review, I heaped praise on these in-ears for their clean audio quality, sleek design and nifty built-in controller. For less than $20 / £20, you really can't go wrong with these.

For those seeking a step-up, but not wanting to spend top dollar, I've chosen the Sennheiser IE 200. These are truly incredible IEMs that offer next-level, hi-res audio and now they can be yours for less than $100 / £100. In my Sennheiser IE 200 review, I championed their fantastically detailed audio output, beautiful design and ultra-lightweight feel, so it's no wonder that we named them the 'best step-up earbuds' in our guide to the best in-ears around.

And finally, for those with a bit more cash to play with, I'm highlighting an awesome deal on the Shure AONIC 3. If you want a wired option that enables you to experience the joys of high-calibre noise cancelling, these are the ideal pick. In my Shure AONIC 3 review, I not only loved these buds for their passive noise cancelling, but also for their expertly balanced sound and discreet looks. My only real hold-up was the price, so now they're $50 / £45 less, it's the right time to snap them up.

Want to weigh these deals up against some wireless alternatives? Then you can check out the options in our guide to the best Black Friday earbuds deals. But that's more than enough yapping, check out all of these incredible deals below before they're gone!
