It’s the most wonderful time of the year to buy AirPods. They’re heavily discounted for Black Friday from places like Amazon and Walmart, starting at just $69 for the most basic (but still great) AirPods 4. And, better yet, you can even get a $30 off deal on Apple’s newest model, the AirPods Pro 3. I’m also including wired EarPods because… people like wires again. And they’re on sale.
Here are the deals you should check out.
AirPods 4
Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to the company’s base-model wireless earbuds. The hard, plastic buds feature improved audio over the third-gen model, along with deep iOS integration and spatial audio with head tracking. Read our review.

Apple Earpods (USB-C)
Bluetooth earbuds are all the rage, but you’d be surprised how often a wired pair comes in handy. Apple’s EarPods have a surprisingly good microphone, never need to be charged, and should work with all your USB-C devices. An inline controller on the earbuds’ cable lets you change your volume and pause or skip tracks.
