Apple AirPods are the go-to wireless earbuds, and Black Friday has great deals on both classics and pros. Looking to buy AirPods this year, for yourself or as a holiday gift? We’ve picked out some of the best AirPod deals for you or for a gift for someone special this year.
For a limited time and while stocks last, Woot has the AirPods Pro for $ 190, the lowest price ever.
The real headliner, however, is the AirPods Pro drop to $ 169 at Walmart starting November 25. This beats the lowest price we’ve seen of $ 21, and beats the Apple Store price by $ 80. Standard AirPods, meanwhile, had fallen to an all-time high of $ 99 at Amazon, Costco, and Walmart, but they came back to $ 129. It’s still $ 30 less than the total Apple Store price.

The AirPods Pro briefly dropped as low as $ 190 during Prime Day sales at Woot, but they instantly sold out. That deal is back today (Nov. 18), and they’ve also been selling between $ 195 and $ 200 at Amazon and other retailers since mid-October. But savvy shoppers will hold out until November 25, when Walmart sells them for $ 169 (and, hopefully, sets off another price war). Read our AirPods Pro review.
Walmart came in full force at the start of the Black Friday sales game by lowering AirPods to $ 99 – the lowest price ever. This was matched by Amazon and (with membership) Costco and Sam’s Club. The deal has expired for the time being, but we expect it to return later in the season. Read our AirPods review.

Personally, I would either get the cheaper AirPods or the AirPods Pro. But if you’re really a wireless charging fanatic, you should know that you can get the standard AirPods with a wireless charging case for $ 160, which is a savings of $ 39 compared to the Apple Store price.
