AirPods Cyber Monday deals live blog: the best Pro, Max and 3rd gen sales

Hello there - welcome to our latest live blog, where we take you through all the top choices when it comes to getting the best AirPods deals from Apple.

Currently most of the great deals we saw over Black Friday are still mostly live, albeit with slight price rises since the first appeared - that tells us that we could expect something new and improved in the near future.

(Come on Cyber Monday, don't let us down).

Let's kick off with the best Cyber Monday AirPods deal out there right now in the US - the AirPods Max have dropped to their lowest ever price in a fantastic deal from Crutchfield, which reduces the noise-cancelling headphones from $549 to $429.

These over-ear headphones are usually very pricey indeed, though we loved their audio performance when we reviewed them. The AirPods Max also come with noise cancellation to help block out the world around you, and a comfortable (if a little unusual) design that should see you through long listening sessions. 

There's no 3.5mm audio jack, which is a shame - but that's something we can overlook at this new low price. 

Guess what's back in stock? It's only that excellent AirPods best-ever deal that sees them crash down to just $159 for the set.

That's nearly $100 off the RRP of a pretty decent set of true wireless earbuds, and given we've seen this offer flashing in and out, I would suggest you get on the deal pronto.

Oh, hello people that live in the UK and don't spend money in dollars - you can also save on the AirPods Max. In a deal we first saw over Black Friday, Amazon has slashed the price of the wireless headphones from £549 to £426.50, saving you £122.50. 

Not sure about the AirPods Max? Stick around, and we'll take you through some excellent alternatives, from the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy today, to budget wireless headphones that don't skimp on the audio specs - all of which have been discounted in the lead up to Cyber Monday.

Next up, we've got the AirPods (2nd gen). What does that mean? It's the standard, stereotypical launch shape for these little ear-dwellers.

We saw them drop under $100 last year, but they're currently stuck at $109 right now over at Amazon. If we were to place an educated guess, we'd say that these might, might drop to $79 if a retailer was being absolutely bonkers.

It's possible they could go to $99 on Cyber Monday itself, but that's a real roll of the dice. If you want these for Christmas, they're a great choice.

I've been doing some digging and I've changed my mind - I think there will be some decent savings on the AirPods (2nd gen). They fell to $89 on November 11, which makes me think they've got to get to that price again.

We'll see, of course - I'd have expected it to happen on Black Friday, but that never emerged.

If you're in the UK, you're probably looking over with envy at the US prices for the AirPods - but worry not. We've found them over at Amazon UK for just £99 which is the lowest ever - they're the second gen 'standard' AirPods, sure, but they come with a wirelessly-charging case.

I really don't like the original AirPods - they fall out of my ears too easily - but then again, I do really like they way they turn on automatically when you pop them in your ears and just look at an Apple device.

So -you remember before when I said that it wouldn't all be AirPods?

Well, if you want a pair of headphones that are better than the AirPods Max - and substantially less expensive - these Cyber Monday deals on the Sony WH-1000XM4 are well worth picking up. 

In the US, they've been reduced from $349 to $248 at both Best Buy and Amazon, saving you over $100 on the best headphones of 2021.

A similar saving is available in the UK, with Amazon slashing the price of the Sony WH-1000XM4 from £349 to £249. While we've seen prices dip as low as £201, this is the best price for the noise-cancellers in the run up to Cyber Monday. 

If you love espresso-style hot drinks as well as filter coffee, this is the Keurig deal you want to snap up. The K-Duo coffee maker is extremely versatile as it can brew filter coffee in the included 12-cup glass carafe, or make hot drinks using K-Cup pods, and is now down to $79 at Walmart, offering a $20 saving. 

It has a 60 oz reservoir so you won't find yourself constantly topping up the coffee maker every time you want a hot beverage, either.  I love the array of K-Cup pods available covering everything from coffee and tea, to hot chocolate and even chai, but sometimes nothing beats a large cup of joe. 

The hot plate keeps the filter coffee warm, while the handy pause and pour function lets you temporarily stop the brewing process so you can pour a hot drink, before letting the coffee continue to fill to the carafe. 

Whoa - one of our writers has been on an absolute deals spree. Get ready for an AIRPODS DEALS BLAST.

OK, let's start with the AirPods (3rd generation) - yep, the ones that were only just announced. 

They're currently $169 at Amazon, taking $10 off the RRP. Wait, wait... WAIT! Come back! That's not all!

When you add them to the cart, you can get a further $20 discount - taking the all-new AirPods down to just $149.

Bet you're glad you didn't click away now, aren't you?

OK, one down. Next up, about those AirPods (2nd generation) I talked about recently...

So, it turns out that I was slightly wrong with them, and missed the same trick - you can get $15 off the $114.99 price that's currently showing at Amazon.

If you want the (slightly ageing) AirPods, you can apply a $15 discount at the checkout and get them for $99 - just $10 off the cheapest ever.

This is only a good deal if you're on a tighter budget and aren't hugely bothered by sonic performance - they'll suit you down to the ground if that's you (and you've got an iPhone - they're not really any use with Android).

Right, here's the final deal of the DEALS BLAST - and I'm unsure whether I should recommend it.

You can get the same AirPods as above, with the same spec and performance, but for $42 more (coming in at $141.99) if you want the wireless-charging case.

I mean, wireless charging is handy, but it takes longer and I've not really been that bothered about using it, despite having wireless chargers everywhere. I much prefer the confirmation they're charging by using a cable, where you often pick up and put down a phone, which makes wireless charging far smarter.

Hello everyone - Olivia here, TechRadar's Audio & Music Editor, and I'll be taking over this live blog for the foreseeable. I'm sure you'll all agree that Gareth has done a fantastic job, apart from posting a rogue coffee machine deal earlier...

Morale is high as we head into the night and the start of Cyber Monday at TechRadar towers in the UK, where the team is still full of energy thanks to a heady mixture of filter coffee and sugary snacks.

I'll be here for the next few hours to bring you all the best Cyber Monday AirPods deals as we spot them, as well as lots of suggestions for different headphones and earbuds you can buy if any of the AirPods deals we suggest don't take your fancy.

Alert! Sound the alarm! The AirPods Pro have dropped back to their lowest ever price at Amazon.

Right now, you cancan get the AirPods Pro for $159 at Amazon, a reduction of $90 from their $249 RRP.

Don't feel left out if you're in the UK - Amazon has slashed the noise-cancelling earbuds from £239 to £185, saving you £54 and bringing them back down to their lowest price in this region.

I'm a big fan of the AirPods Pro, personally. They sound much better than the original AirPods, and support for Spatial Audio means you can hear your songs in a new, more immersive way.

It's no secret that I love my music... and as such, I've spent a few minutes putting together a lil' Apple Music playlist of some great tracks to try out in Spatial Audio.

If you only have time for one, try out The Doors' Riders on the Storm. You'll notice that, as the band members talk to each other at the start of the track, the spatial audio positioning of their voices makes it feel as though you’re in the room with them.

Pretty cool, if you ask me.

The AirPods Pro aren't the only Apple earbuds to support Spatial Audio. The newly-released AirPods 3 can also handle immersive music formats - and they sound pretty good, too.

They don't have the noise cancellation you get with the AirPods Pro, and the open fit means a lot of sound leaks in when you use them - so we'd still recommend buying the AirPods Pro while they're at their lowest price in the US and the UK.

However, if you do want to try out the AirPods 3 (perhaps you don't like the feeling of wearing silicone eartips like you get with the AirPods Pro), there are some Cyber Monday deals to take advantage of.

In the US, the AirPods (3rd Generation) are on sale at Amazon for $149.99 when you apply the additional $20 coupon at checkout. That's a total savings of $29 and $30 less than the current price of the AirPods Pro.

New Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): $179 $149.99 at Amazon

In the UK? You can also save on the AirPods 3, which have been given their first discount.

Right now, you can get £10 off the all-new AirPods 3, which Amazon reducing the price from £169 to £159. The new wireless earbuds come with Spatial Audio support, a new contoured fit, and a 30-hour battery life.

New Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): £169 £159 at Amazon

As good as I think the AirPods Pro and the AirPods 3 are, they aren't the best true wireless earbuds you can buy today.

That award goes to the Sony WF-1000XM4 - and luckily for you, they're currently discounted in the early Cyber Monday sales.

In a deal that first appeared over Black Friday, the Sony earbuds are currently discounted from $279.99 to $248 at Amazon.

Like the AirPods Pro, the Sony WF-1000XM4 offer excellent noise cancellation, as well as a superior audio performance. However, they are currently more expensive, so there will be no judgement from me if you opt for the Apple buds instead.

Sony WF-1000XM4 wireless earbuds: $279.99 $248 at Amazon

You can also save on the Sony WF-1000XM4 if you're in the UK (what are you doing up? Don't you know it's a school night?!)

Amazon has the buds on sale for £199, a saving of £51 compared to their £250 RRP. Black Friday was the first time we saw a significant discount on the Sony WF-1000XM4, and they're an excellent purchase if you're looking for the best combination of audio performance, design, noise cancellation, and battery life.

PS - it's gone midnight in the UK, and that means it's officially Cyber Monday here.

Sony WF-1000XM4 wireless earbuds: £250 £199 at Amazon

Now that Cyber Monday has officially reached the UK and we're edging closer in the US, let's see how prices for the 2019 AirPods are doing...

There's no change, actually. They're still available to buy for $99 in the US, and £99 in the UK. Don't get us wrong, these are great prices when you consider they cost $129 / £119 usually - but there are lots of better true wireless earbuds out there for similar (or lower) prices.

And don't worry, we'll take you through some of our top picks shortly. In the meantime, I wonder if anyone listened to my Spatial Audio playlist on Apple Music?

US: AirPods with wired charging case: $159 $99.99 at Amazon
UK: Apple AirPods (2019): £119 £99 at Amazon

For the same price as the AirPods (2019), you can get the new Beats Studio Buds. They still come with all the Apple-friendly connectivity you want, but they're also suitable for Android users. 

Plus, they come with active noise cancellation, support for Spatial Audio, and an IPX4 rating, making them sweat-resistant but not waterproof. 

Beats Studio Buds: $149 $99 at Best Buy

Another good alternative to the 2019 AirPods are the Sony WF-C500. No, these aren't the very best Sony earbuds, but they are better than the AirPods. How, you ask? Oh, let me count the ways...

For starters, the audio performance is much more convincing. They also come with a more subtle design.

Best of all? They're currently on sale for $78 at Amazon, reduced from $99.99.

Sony WF-C500 wireless earbuds: $99.99 $78 at Amazon 

AirPods Pro prices are fluctuating at the moment - they've gone back up to $169 at Amazon, $10 more than their all-time-low price. 

I reckon Amazon will drop them back down to $159 for Cyber Monday, perhaps when the clock strikes midnight... then again, we could just see prices yo-yo for the next few hours. 

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $169 at Amazon

It looks like stock is running low for the AirPods Max deal at Crutchfield that we posted earlier. 

Never fear! Amazon has them at the same price, reducing them from $549 to $429 (that's a saving of $120). 

As the AirPods Max were so pricey when they launched, any deal is very welcome - so we'd recommend snapping them up at this price while you still can.

I have mixed feelings about the AirPods Max. On the one hand, they sound incredible - way better than I expected them to. On the other hand, they're so expensive, and they don't even come with a 3.5mm audio jack for wired listening. 

And, they don't have any support for hi-res audio, which is a shame when the audio quality is good. If you're someone that likes to eke out every last bit from your music streams, these aren't the headphones for you. 

But, if you have an iPhone, their connectivity is unbeatable, and they definitely have a design that will stand out from the crowd. 

If you don't want to spend upwards of $400 on a pair of headphones, I don't blame you. So, let's take a look at some alternative Cyber Monday headphones deals that are available now. 

If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Sony WH-CH710N over-ear wireless headphones, which have been reduced from $179.99 to $78 at Amazon.

This is the best price we've seen on Amazon for this great pair of over-ear headphones. Featuring excellent sound and adaptive noise cancelling tech, you're getting an immersive listening experience at a bargain price.

Sony WH-CH710N over-ear wireless headphones: $179.99 $78 at Amazon

If you like the unusual design provided by the AirPods Max, you might like the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless. 

They certainly stand out from the headphones crowd, with sleek, minimalist housings and pearl-blasted stainless steel sliders - and right now, they're reduced from $399.95 to $217 at Amazon.

Like the AirPods Max, they come with active noise cancellation and an immersive sound that I really liked when I tested them a couple of years ago.

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless: $399.95 $217 at Amazon

You know, waiting around for AirPods prices to change can get a little... tedious. Browsing through Amazon, I spotted some little cases to keep your AirPods case safe...

This one's my favorite so far. It works for the 2019 AirPods (or even the original AirPods if you still have a pair), and comes with a caribiner clip, so you can hook it to your bag.

AirPods 1&2 Charging Case Cover: $6.99 $3.99 at Amazon

Ooh, this one gets really meta. It's a case for your headphones that resembles a cat wearing headphones. 

REENET Compatible with AirPods Case: $6.99 $4.98 at Amazon

I've just taken a little break to watch the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK - so let's take a look at how the Cyber Monday AirPods deals are doing in the US. 

First up: the 2019 AirPods. The price is still sitting at $99.99 at Amazon, which is a discount of $59 compared to the original retail price. 

To see the full discount, you'll need to add them to your cart first - so don't be put off when you head to Amazon and see the price at $114. 

This is a great deal on the second generation AirPods, though we have seen them fall as low as $89 in the past. It's entirely possible that the all-time-low price will return when Cyber Monday officially kicks off, so if you're not in a hurry, we'd recommend hanging on for a few hours. 

AirPods with wired charging case: $159 $99.99 at Amazon

I should mention - that $99.99 price tag is for the AirPods (2019) with the regular wired charging case. 

If wireless charging is a priority, the best deal we've found is at Best Buy, which has slashed the price of the AirPods with Wireless Charging Case from $199.99 to $141.99 - a saving of $58. 

That's a respectable discount on the second-gen Apple earbuds, but we'd recommend opting for the newer AirPods 3 over the older buds - they sound better, come with Spatial Audio, and have a wireless charging case as standard. 

Apple AirPods (2019) with wireless charging case: $199 $141.99 at Best Buy

Luckily, the newer AirPods 3 aren't that much more expensive than the AirPods 2 with the wireless charging case. 

Right now, you can get them for $149.99 at Amazon - that's a saving of $29.01. Again, you'll need to add them to your cart to see the full discount. 

That's the lowest price we've seen for the third-gen AirPods, and it's only a few dollars more expensive than their predecessors - for me, buying the newer AirPods is a no-brainer with this Cyber Monday deal. 

New Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): $179 $149.99 at Amazon

As predicted, AirPods Pro prices are fluctuating all the time - they've just bounced back up to $179 at Amazon, having hit a previous low price of $159. 

We think that low price will return during Cyber Monday - but if you need to buy the AirPods Pro right away, this is still a great deal from Amazon. 

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $169 at Amazon

Finally, let's take a look at AirPods Max prices. They've actually stayed pretty stable over the past few days, having hit their all-time-low price over Black Friday. 

Right now, you can still buy the AirPods Max for $429 at Crutchfield. That's a saving of $120 compared to their original $549 RRP - and a bit of a bargain, if you ask me.

Saying that, the AirPods Max are still very expensive, even with this deal - and there are lots of other options to choose from this Cyber Monday. If you're looking for alternatives to the AirPods Max, check out our Cyber Monday headphones deals guide.

Now, in a change to our normal programming, here's a crossover episode - sorry, I mean post. 

If you're buying a pair of AirPods for working out - not that we'd count them among the best running headphones, mind - you might want to check out our Cyber Monday Fitbit, Garmin, and smartwatch deals live blog for all the latest discounts on fitness trackers. 

Not interested in tracking your workouts? Don't worry, there are plenty of regular smartwatch deals out there, too. 

If you're looking for a good alternative to the AirPods Pro, this excellent Cyber Monday deal on the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds is well worth considering. 

At $199, they're pricier than the AirPods Pro are right now, but that's a discount of $80 compared to their original $279 RRP. 

As the best noise-cancelling earbuds we've ever tested, any discount is a bit of a bonus - and they don't make any sacrifices when it comes to sound quality or comfort, either. 

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: $279 $199 at Amazon

Cyber Monday is officially here, and the AirPods Pro have dropped by another $10 at Amazon. 

That brings the price down from $249 to $169 - just $10 more than their all-time-low price. 

We're hoping that the AirPods Pro will hit $159 again during the course of Cyber Monday - but if you can't wait, this is still a good deal on the noise-cancelling earbuds.

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $169 at Amazon

Early birds in the UK can still get the AirPods Pro at their lowest price - Amazon still has them on sale for £185, down from £239. 

Will that price drop further during Cyber Monday? It's hard to tell, but any further discounts probably won't be huge - think an extra £10 or so off the current price. 

Apple AirPods Pro: £239 £185 at Amazon

So Amazon's first wave of 'official' Cyber Monday deals have landed in the UK too, but... so far at least... we've not seen any massive movement on Apple AirPods deals at the retailer. We'll keep our eyes peeled for new sales, but as it stands, the best from Amazon has already been revealed.

AirPods Max are still on sale it seems, but you're going to need to hurry up if you want to make a saving. In the last few hours over at Amazon we've seen the price creep up from £426.50 to the new current price of £429. That's still significantly more affordable than the £549 RRP, but if you ever needed an example of Amazon's pricing algorithm at work in action, that's what just a few hours can do the company's on-site price tags.

If you have bought yourself a set of AirPods Max headphones, you'll want to keep your new pricey cans well protected. Here's quite a stylish looking carry case for the headphones, priced at £24 on Amazon UK . Apply the 5% off voucher and you can make a modest £1.20 saving, bringing the price down to £22.79.

AirPods are great and everything, but for the premium pricing Apple puts onto its earbuds, you can often find better alternatives – especially when it comes to audio quality.

If you're after a dark-horse pair that offer truly, truly exemplary audio quality at a budget price, try the Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0 True Wireless Earbuds, currently 30% off at checkout with Amazon when you hit the coupon button on page.

That brings them down from their already-affordable $89 price tag to just $62.30 – a saving of $26.70.

Thought they're not a household brand, we've been living with these earbuds for months now, and they're still very much worthy of the 5-star rating we gave them, thanks not only to their crystal clear audio, but 80 hour (10 in buds, 70 in case) battery life and IPX7 waterproofing. They. Are. EXCELLENT. Give them a go.

Sorry, AirPods Pro fans – the Cyber Monday Amazon AirPods Pro deal seems sold out, at least for now. The moment it comes back, we'll let you know here.

But if you're on the hunt for more premium true wireless earbuds with noise cancelling a la the AirPods Pro, the Amazon Cyber Monday deals include an $80 discount on the Bose QuietComfort earbuds. We've recommended them before, but for those just checking in, we still think they're great alternatives from a trusted brand.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: $279  $199 at Amazon

A note on that AirPods Pro deal at Amazon - while they are sold out, you can still order a pair fr $179.

Amazon says they'll be 'in stock soon', and the fastest delivery date we can see is for January 7 - so, if you were hoping to buy them as a gift for Christmas, you're out of luck. 

That price brings them to within $20 of their all-time-low price, so it's still a good deal if you want to buy Apple's noise-cancelling earbuds at a discount. Just be aware that you'll have to wait a while to actually get your hands on them.

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $179 at Amazon

If you're in the UK, the AirPods Pro are still available at £185, which is the lowest price we've seen for the true wireless earbuds.

This excellent deal first appeared on Black Friday, and it's stuck around for Cyber Monday. We don't know how long stocks will last, so we'd recommend snapping it up quickly if you want to buy the AirPods Pro at this price. 

And, if you're not a fan of Amazon, you can also get the AirPods Pro for £185 at Very.

Apple AirPods Pro: £239 £185 at Amazon

Love the idea of the AirPods Pro but hate the prices? Even with these excellent deals, the AirPods Pro don't come cheap - but there is a great alternative out there that gives you all the Apple connectivity you need as well as active noise cancellation and a decent audio performance. 

We're talking about the Beats Studio Buds. Right now, Amazon has reduced them from $149.95 to $99.95, saving you $50 on the true wireless earbuds. 

And, you can get $10 in credit when you buy the Studio Buds from Amazon. You need to enter the code BYZPPJADUODB at checkout, and you'll receive your extra credit once shipping is completed - though this does expire on Jan 31.

Beats Studio Buds: $149.95 $99.95 at Amazon

The Beats Studio Buds are also discounted in the UK, costing £99 at Amazon (was £129.99). This deal expires at midnight, so you'll need to act fast. 

One of the main benefits of buying the Beats Studio Buds over the AirPods Pro is the fact that they come in a range of colors - and their smaller build means their more compact that Apple's flagship buds. 

They also work just as well for Android as they do for iOS devices; with the AirPods Pro, Android users miss out on a lot of the extra features that make them special. 

Saying that, we don't think the Studio Buds sound quite as good as the AirPods Pro, and the active noise cancellation isn't as effective. But hey, they're much cheaper. 

Beats Studio Buds: £129 £99 at Amazon

If you need the AirPods Pro right away and you're in the US, you do have another option - Best Buy currently has them on sale for $189.99, a saving of $60 compared to their $249 RRP. 

That's not the lowest price we've seen, but shipping times are far quicker than they are at Amazon right now. And, you get six months of Apple Music thrown in at no extra cost, which means you can take advantage of the streaming service's Spatial Audio playlists. 

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $189.99 at Best Buy

If you do buy a pair of AirPods this Cyber Monday and they come with the new MagSafe-compatible charging case, you might be on the hunt for a MagSafe charger. 

Right now, you can get the Apple MagSafe Charger with a $9 discount at Amazon, with the retailer slashing the price from $39 to $29.99 this Cyber Monday.

The MagSafe Charger maintains compatibility with Qi charging, so it can be used to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or later, as well as AirPods models with a wireless charging case, as you would with any Qi-certified charger. Just pop your device on the pad, and you're good to go.

Apple MagSafe Charger: $39 $29.99 at Amazon

We've seen AirPods prices fluctuate throughout the day - in particular the AirPods Max have been bouncing around the $430 mark. 

Right now, they're available for $439.99 at Amazon - that's just $10 more than the all-time-low price we saw from Crutchfield earlier today. 

Bear in mind though, that price only applies to the Space Gray version of the AirPods Max. If you want any of the other colors, you'll need to pay more. 

Apple AirPods Max: $549 $439.99 at Amazon

If you're looking for an alternative pair of noise-cancelling headphones to buy this Cyber Monday, check out this great deal on the new Bose QuietComfort 45. 

Usually $329, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest Bose cans to $279, saving you $50.  For your money, you're getting a pair of wireless headphones with intuitive controls, excellent noise cancellation, and a comfortable design.

Bose QuietComfort 45: $329 $279 at Amazon

If you're after something really budget friendly, there's a great deal on a pair of Sony noise-cancelling headphones that's been hanging around since Black Friday.

Amazon has reduced the Sony WH-CH710N over-ear wireless headphones from $179.99 to $78, saving you over $100. This is the best price we've seen on Amazon for this great pair of over-ear headphones. Featuring excellent sound and adaptive noise cancelling tech, you're getting an immersive listening experience at a bargain price.

No, they don't sound as good as the AirPods Max - but they're also a fifth of the price...

Sony WH-CH710N over-ear wireless headphones: $179.99 $78 at Amazon

Drum roll please... the Walmart AirPods Pro deal is back, bringing them back down to $159. 

That's a saving of $90 compared to their original $249 RRP, and a return to the lowest price we've seen on the noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds. 

This price has been going in and out of stock all weekend, so you should definitely act fast if you're keen. 

All-new Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $159 at Walmart

As the newer AirPods 3 are just $10 more expensive than the AirPods Pro, you may be wondering which Apple earbuds to buy on Cyber Monday. 

Our pick is the AirPods Pro. They come with all the same features as the AirPods 3, but add active noise cancellation, as well as a better fit thanks to interchangeable silicone eartips. 

New Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): $179 $149.99 at Amazon

If, even with this great AirPods Pro deal, the noise-cancelling earbuds are a bit too pricey for you, don't sleep on this excellent Sony WF-1000XM3 deal from Amazon. 

Usually costing $199.99, Amazon has reduced the Sony buds to $128 - a big saving of $70 on the earbuds that we considered the very best you could buy for two years running. 

They were only fairly recently usurped by the Sony WF-1000XM4, but we still the the WF-1000XM3 are well worth buying - in fact, they're much better than the AirPods Pro if you're an Android user, as many of the features that make the AirPods special are restricted to iPhone users.

For those still shopping for Cyber Monday deals in the UK, you can get the Sony WF-1000XM3 with a big discount, too.

They're available for just £99 at Amazon. Though that £30 discount may not seem like much, it's excellent compared to their £220 RRP. For your money you're getting ANC, a stellar audio performance, and a stylish design - and we actually think they're better than the AirPods Pro. 

Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds: £129 £99 at Amazon

Good morning to all our readers in the US and the UK - Olivia here, and I'm signing in for another blast of AirPods deals as the Cyber Monday sales begin to wrap up. 

Cyber Monday may be over, but that doesn't mean that all the deals have disappeared (though some haven't stuck around unfortunately). 

In just a few moments (when I've had a much-needed coffee) I'll be taking you through all the Cyber Monday AirPods deals that are still available to buy today.

Let's start with the cheapest AirPods you can buy today. Right now, you can get the 2019 AirPods with a wired charging case at Walmart for $99, which is just $10 more than their all-time-low price. 

The Apple AirPods are among the most popular true wireless earbuds on the planet – and while we'd recommend opting for the AirPods Pro or the AirPods 3 if you have a little more cash to spare, these are the cheapest AirPods on the market today. So, for those on a budget, this discount is worth snapping up before prices inevitably rise as retailers end their Cyber Monday sales.

That excellent deal is still available in the UK too, where you can get the 2019 AirPods for £99 at Amazon... and Argos... and John Lewis. 

A £20 discount may not sound hugely exciting but it's brilliant compared to the original RRP of £159. The wireless earbuds provide up to 24 hours of battery life and can be conveniently charged using a Qi-compatible mat or a Lightning connector.

If you want the AirPods 2 with a wireless charging case, there are still some late Cyber Monday deals available. 

Best Buy has them on sale for $159.99, down from $199.99 - this isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen, but we'll never scoff at a $40 discount. 

The AirPods (2019) are decent enough - but I'd recommend going for the newer AirPods 3, which are just $10 more expensive at the moment. They come with a wireless charging case as standard, as well as support for Spatial Audio, and improved fit, and better sound quality. 

They're currently reduced from $179 to $169.99 at Amazon - not a huge discount, but still good when you consider the AirPods 3 were only just released.

New Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): $179 $169.99 at Amazon

In the UK, the AirPods (3rd Generation) are available for £159, down from £169. Again, a £10 discount may not seem like much, but any price reduction is impressive when these true wireless earbuds only launched at the beginning of this month.

The Apple AirPods Pro deals were probably the most exciting over Black Friday and Cyber Monday - although that might just be because I spent my time constantly writing and rewriting these blog posts as the prices jumped up and down. 

Unfortunately, the all-time-low price of $159 has now gone - but you can still get the AirPods Pro for $179 at Amazon, which is still a fantastic deal on the noise-cancelling earbuds. 

It's better news for UK readers - the AirPods Pro are still at their lowest ever price, remaining at £185 throughout the Cyber Monday sales and beyond.

Wherever you are, you should act fast if you want the AirPods Pro at these prices - there's no telling how long these deals will stick around now that Cyber Monday's over.

Apple AirPods Pro: £239 £185 at Amazon

The AirPods Cyber Monday deals just keep on coming... and the AirPods Max have returned to their lowest ever price in the US. 

You can get the AirPods Max for $429 at Amazon, with the retailer reducing the price by $120 in the late Cyber Monday sales. 

Apple's over-ear headphones are among the the best-sounding cans we've ever tested, and they're particularly good for iPhone users thanks to a host of Apple-centric features.

This discount only applies to the Space Gray variant, mind. All the other colors are more expensive.

Apple AirPods Max: $549 $429 at Amazon

There's still a good Cyber Monday deal on the AirPods Max in the UK, too. They're currently available for £439 at Amazon - that's £30 more than the all-time-low price, but a £110 discount is still very good. 

This deal only applies to the green version of the AirPods Max - it's a lovely color in my opinion, but if it doesn't appeal, there are lots of other colors available (you'll just have to pay more for them).

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the AirPods Max, this excellent deal on the new Bose QuietComfort 45 is worth a look. 

The Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-cancelling headphones may have only just launched, but Amazon already has already discounted them in an excellent late Cyber Monday headphones deal, bringing them down from $329 to $279 and saving you $50.
