Today's best deals2.Headphones deals3.Earbuds dealsBlack Friday is a week away, arriving on November 28, but official Black Friday earbuds and headphones deals have already started. That's not a surprise since Black Friday sales seem to get underway earlier and earlier every year. The good news is that you have more time to consider the deals for a planned headphones upgrade, and I've got you covered there with this comprehensive guide to the best deals from big retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy and Target.That's right, I've done the work to uncover the best Black Friday headphones and earbuds deals. Well, I didn't exactly do it alone – TechRadar's audio team, including Audio Editor Becky Scarrott, and reviewer Harry Padoan provided invaluable help.TechRadar's audio team test approximately 100 pairs of headphones and earbuds annually, and we also have plenty of experience covering Black Friday deals on those products. I personally spent nearly a decade covering audio gear over Black Friday, and well over a decade reviewing it, so I know what makes a good product, and what makes a good deal.The audio team will keep this guide updated throughout the whole Black Friday week with advice and explanations about the headphones world, and of course, we'll keep checking our recommendations to see if the price has changed, or if something else is now a better deal. Oh, and if you want something that's not audio-related, take a look at TechRadar's guide to the best Black Friday deals overall!The best Black Friday headphones sales in the USAmazon:Up to 60% off big-brand audioBest Buy: Earbuds & headphones from $7.49Target:Deals on Beats, Bose, Sony and moreWalmart:AirPods Pro 2 just $139 – cheapest ever!The best Black Friday headphones sales in the UKAmazon:Up to 54% off headphones & speakersArgos:Save on JBL, Marshall & moreCurrys:Deals on Sony, Samsung & JBLJohn Lewis:Save on AirPods, Bose, Bowers & WilkinsVery:Up to £100 off BEats, Sony, JLab & moreMy 6 favorite Black Friday headphones dealsSave 44% ($110)Apple AirPods Pro 2:was $249now $139at WalmartRead moreRead less▼This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the AirPods Pro 2, and it's an astounding value for earbuds this good.

An amazing deal for Apple users.View DealSave $10.571More SonoFlow Pro HQ51:was $70.39now $59.82at AmazonRead moreRead less▼I don't know how we ended up at this very specific price for this set of headphones, but I don't care!

They sound better than you'd think, the block noise as well as headphones four times the price, they have excellent battery life, and they're comfortable. We gave them 4.5 stars in our 1More SonoFlow HQ51 review, and I recently compared them to nearly 20 other headphones when refreshing our best noise-cancelling headphones guide, and they really are phenomenal.View DealSave $50Nothing Ear (a):was $109now $59at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This might be the earbuds bargain of Black Friday. It's the lowest we've ever seen for these earbuds, and it's a good $20 cheaper than the previous lowest price. They are outrageously good for this price – in our Nothing Ear (a) review, we felt they were way better than their original price, and now they're 50% off! Great sound quality, strong active noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, good smart features… what a deal.View DealSave 43% ($150)Bose QuietComfort Headphones:was $349now $199at AmazonRead moreRead less▼The Bose QuietComfort Headphones offer class-leading noise cancellation with Quiet and Aware modes that ensure you can listen to as much or as little of your surroundings as you want. You get all-day battery life of up to 24 hours, while you can also listen via the audio cable if you prefer a wired option. Super comfy and ideal for calls, there’s no need to take them off during the working day either. These briefly fell to $169 a few days ago, but otherwise this is the best price we've seen for them, and they're still a fantastic value. Here's our Bose QuietComfort Headphones review.View DealSave 38% ($50)Apple AirPods 4:was $129.99now $79.99at AmazonRead moreRead less▼It's a new record-low price for Apple's cheapest AirPods! In my AirPods 4 review, I lamented that they were just too expensive compared to the competition – but that's not the case with this deal. You're getting well-balanced sound, auto-switching between Apple devices, excellent head-tracked spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support, and tons of other smart features.Also: AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancelling: was $179 now $109 at AmazonView DealSave 28% ($50)Bose QuietComfort Earbuds:was $179now $129at Best BuyRead moreRead less▼Bose's affordable earbuds offer top-tier active noise cancellation, but without a top-tier price tag. In our 4.5-star Bose QuietComfort Earbuds review, we said they were already "arguably best-in-class value" at full price, so for this price they're especially great. We praised their comfort and sound quality as well as the amazing ANC.View DealThe best Black Friday headphones dealsSave 67% ($40)JBL Tune 520BT:was $59.95now $19.95at AmazonRead moreRead less▼That is one big discount! From the MSRP, at least. Getting a pair of headphones from a reliable name like JBL for this low a price makes these a strong bargain. These have an on-ear fit, offer nearly 60 hours of battery life, fold up for travel, and connect to the JBL app so you can customize the sound if you want.View DealSave $10.571More SonoFlow Pro HQ51:was $70.39now $59.82at AmazonRead moreRead less▼I don't know how we ended up at this very specific price for this set of headphones, but I don't care!

As we said in our WH-CH720N review, you're getting a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. These mid-range over-ears are comfortable, enjoyable and deliver good ANC too.View DealSave 40% ($100)Sennheiser Accentum Plus Headphones :was $249.95now $149.95at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This superb step-up model in the Accentum range offers fast-charging, angled drivers for superior timing and detail, sound personalization to improve sound further, and aptX higher-res Bluetooth support to make the most of that sound tech. This isn't the absolute rock-bottom cheapest we've ever seen this model (that would be $129.95, ever so briefly), but it makes a model we already praised a lot in our Sennheiser Accentum Plus review even better value.View DealSony WH-1000XM4:was $349.99now $159.99at Best BuyRead moreRead less▼When we tested these headphones at launch, we asked – are these the best headphones ever made? They deserved every one of the five stars we gave them in our Sony WH-1000XM4 review thanks to their stellar sound quality and class-leading noise cancellation – and they're just as good today, especially at this very low price.View DealSave 43% ($150)Bose QuietComfort Headphones:was $349now $199at AmazonRead moreRead less▼The Bose QuietComfort Headphones offer class-leading noise cancellation with Quiet and Aware modes that ensure you can listen to as much or as little of your surroundings as you want.

They treat you to a beautifully detailed and crisp sonic performance and benefit from some strong noise cancelling tech. Plus, with a huge 60 hours of battery life, you'll rarely need to reach for the charger. And the deal applies to all colorways – even the Special Edition set with gold-tone accents! This is the lowest they've ever been, so clicking to 'buy now' never felt so good. Just see our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review if you need further proof. View DealSave 38% ($151.99)Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones:was $399.99now $248at AmazonRead moreRead less▼These headphones may have been superseded by the excellent XM6, but if you've been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but didn't like their fairly high price tag – I've listed their original RRP, although they've been hovering just below $340 several times this year – then today is a good day to buy. These premium headphones have just dropped below $250 and at that price they're an excellent buy – check out our review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 to get all the details. I like these headphones a lot: they deliver fantastic ANC, superior comfort, and Sony sound quality. They'd make a good Christmas present for somebody special, and that somebody could be you.View DealSave 30% ($130)Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones:was $429now $299at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This is the lowest price we've ever seen for these headphones – they've hit this price before, but never lower. The deal is on the black color, plus the much cooler blue and red options. For this price, these are excellent value headphones – their noise cancellation still hasn't been meaningfully beaten, even by the mighty Sony WH-1000XM6, but these are now $100 cheaper than those headphones. Here's our full Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones review, for more on why we like them so much, even now.View DealSave 30% ($120)Sonos Ace:was $399now $279at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This is a nice price for a very impressive pair of headphones. In our Sonos Ace review we said that they were amazing Dolby Atmos headphones for movies with detailed, fun and energetic audio and brilliant integration with the Sonos Arc soundbar. If you're a movie buff we reckon these are the best, most immersive headphones you can get.View DealSave $61.99Sony WH-1000XM6:was $459.99now $398at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Right now, you can grab the incredible Sony WH-1000XM6 for $62 less with this Black Friday deal, meaning they're the cheapest they've ever been. These headphones offer beautifully balanced audio output, top-tier touch controls, ergonomic comfort, and noise-crushing active noise cancellation. They're fantastic headphones all-rounders, as our Sony WH-1000XM6 review digs into.View DealThe best Black Friday earbuds dealsSave 50% ($12.39)JLab Go Air Pop+:was $24.88now $12.49at AmazonRead moreRead less▼JLab is basically the only earbuds manufacturer we actually trust to make something this cheap that's actually good. The original JLab Go Air Pop ranked as our pick for the best cheap earbuds in our buying guides for a long time, and these are the upgraded version of those. This deal is only on the 'Mauve' color, but the other colors are just a few bucks more. If you want a pair of earbuds that cost practically nothing, but actually treat your music right, look no further.View DealSave 31% ($21.99)Sony WF-C510:was $69.99now $48at AmazonRead moreRead less▼These are the earbuds we rate more highly than Apple's current AirPods: in our review of the WF-C510 we said they are among our favorite low-cost earbuds thanks to their punchy, high-quality sound, comfortable fit and ultra-affordable price. We rated them four and a half stars when they were at full price. At this discounted price they're an absolute steal.View DealSave $50Nothing Ear (a):was $109now $59at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This might be the earbuds bargain of Black Friday. It's the lowest we've ever seen for these earbuds, and it's a good $20 cheaper than the previous lowest price.

Great sound quality, strong active noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, good smart features… what a deal.View DealSave 40% ($51.99)Sony WF-C710N:was $129.99now $78at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Sony's newest affordable wireless earbuds for less than $80 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale? You're getting Sony quality for the kind of money you'd expect to pay for a much lesser brand. In our Sony WF-C710N review, we heaped praise on these buds for their bolstered battery life, fantastic sound quality and upgraded ANC. At this price point, recommending them is easy – though we prefer the Nothing Ear (a) overall.View DealSave 38% ($50)Apple AirPods 4:was $129.99now $79.99at AmazonRead moreRead less▼It's a new record-low price for Apple's cheapest AirPods!

They sound superb, they have high-tier noise cancellation (though not as good as the Bose above), they have an unlose-able case, and they have the newer Live Translation and hearing aid features that also feature on AirPods Pro 3. An amazing deal for Apple users.View DealSave 30% ($60)Shokz OpenDots One:was $199.95now $139.95at AmazonRead moreRead less▼These only recently came out, and we gave them 4.5 out of 5 in our glowing Shokz OpenDots One review – so this discount is fantastic, and is the first I've seen for them. Clip-style open earbuds hook onto your ear, and don't go into the ear canal – they're really comfortable, they leave you able to hear the world around you as well as your music, and they sound superb.View DealSave 20% ($40)Shokz OpenFit 2+:was $199.95now $159.95at AmazonRead moreRead less▼This is the first deal on the model we've just crowned as the best open earbuds – so while it may not be a huge discount, it's a really good one. In our Shokz OpenFit 2+ review we praised the impressive Dolby-powered audio and impeccable fit, and being open earbuds they don't disconnect you from the world.View DealSave 33% ($100)Bose Ultra Open Earbuds:was $299now $199at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Bose is one of the biggest names in the world of headphones, and their reputation for quality is shown in these earbuds. The Ultra Open boast incredible sound, supreme power, and excellent battery life, making them a seriously premium pair of all-around buds. Now at a record-low price (as long as either black, 'sunset iridescent' or 'moonstone blue' finishes work for you), so there's no better time to buy if you want open earbuds with super-rich sound.View DealApple AirPods Pro 3:was $249now $219.99at AmazonRead moreRead less▼No, it's not a massive discount. But it's still a decent one, and it's the first real deal on them, taking 12% off the usual price of Apple's newest and most advanced ANC earbuds. The main difference between the Pro 3 and Pro 2 is the addition of heart rate sensing, although if you have an Apple Watch you've got that covered already. And the ANC is improved – although the ANC in the AirPods Pro 2 is still superb. View DealSave 26% ($77.99)Technics EAH-AZ100:was $299.99now $222at AmazonRead moreRead less▼Released in January 2025, these little beauties are still the only earbuds to offer multipoint to three devices simultaneously, plus excellent 'sidetone' tech for hearing your own voice in calls. They also deliver some of the most neutral and detailed audio possible, in a small, premium-feel design – our Technics EAH-AZ100 review raves about all the details. They've never dropped this low in price until now. Highly recommended.View DealSave 20% ($50)Beats Powerbeats Pro 2:was $249.99now $199.99at Best BuyRead moreRead less▼Beats' latest sports earbuds get a nice discount, making it even more tempting to take advantage of their built-in heart-rate sensors, so you can track your runs with minimal other tech on you. In our Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we also liked the head-tracked spatial audio, good stamina, huge range of features, and comfortable and lightweight fit – the latter is obviously super-important for sports headphones, and these deliver.View DealLIVE: Latest UpdatesRefresh تازہ کاریوں کے بارے میں مطلع کریں 2025-11-21T15:33:53.288ZThe cheapest headphones pick I've included here is the JBL Tune 520BT, which cost just $19. They originally hit this price at Best Buy, but the price went back up there. Thankfully, Amazon had stepped in and reduced the price to $19 there. That seems to be holding for now, but it's just a reminder that these early deals don't always last!2025-11-21T15:09:22.758Z(Image credit: Future)Light the beacons! Gondor calls for an unmissable deal! The venerable, and still excellent, Sony WH-1000XM4 have dropped to a beautifully low price. $159 is a bargain for these headphones, which have been easy to find for around $189 or $199 during sales. They might be old, but for this price, they absolutely still have it – again, I re-tested them recently for my big rewrite of our best noise-cancelling headphones guide.The one thing to note is that they have been cheaper than this, for about one (1) day, back in October. They fell to a ridiculous $129 then. I'm not sure we'll ever see that again, but I'd understand holding out hope. But if you're looking for a great pair for light, travel-friendly, comfortable, good-sounding headphones with strong noise cancellation, $169 is a great price!Sony WH-1000XM4: Now $169 at Best Buy2025-11-21T14:34:21.198Z(Image credit: Future)I have another cheap noise-cancelling headphones recommendation, for those interested! While I would generally recommend people get the 1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51 headphones I mentioned just above, if your budget doesn't stretch that far, the best really cheap pair I've tested are the Amazon Basics Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones.I compared them to options from the likes of Anker Soundcore, and these were my favorite for under $50. At the moment, they're $37.99, and in the past they've fallen to $32. If they hit $30 over Black Friday, then they're a really good purchase. At the current price, I really would urge you to splash the extra $20 for the 1More.Amazon Basics Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones: Now $37.99 at Amazon2025-11-21T14:02:16.846Z(Image credit: Sennheiser)I was just walking through my city, and really noticed the increase in people using wired headphones – and models clearly chosen for their sound quality, not just a pair of Skullcandy cheap buds or Apple USB-C earbuds (not that we have any beef with either of those).If you're keen to jump into the high-quality world of wired music, check out our guides to the best wired headphones and best wired earbuds.2025-11-21T13:26:10.623ZAnd since I'm talking about AirPods anyway right now, just a remind that AirPods Pro 2 are down to a ridiculous low price of just $139 at Walmart, which is by far the cheapest they've ever been.AirPods Pro 3 are also discounted for the first time right now, and are $219 at Amazon instead of $249, which is very good value for some cutting-edge earbuds.But as someone who's swapped between them both over the last few months? I think I'd save the $80 – unless you feel strongly about having longer battery life, the best noise cancelling, or heart-rate tracking.2025-11-21T13:00:40.596ZOh, and if you want the slightly better version of AirPods 4, with that have active noise cancellation and wireless charging built-in, they're also a record-low price, for just $109. There aren't many open earbuds (ie, without an in-ear seal) that have good active noise cancellation, so they're not far off being unique for a price that low!AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation: Now $109 at Amazon2025-11-21T11:59:35.368ZAirPods 4 record-low price(Image credit: Future)AirPods 4 have fallen to $79, which is way down from their official price of $129, and is $10 cheaper than the lowest I've seen before. I think they're going to be incredibly popular at this price – you'll get the super-slick and reliable connectivity of AirPods, all the smart features, and good sound quality, at a very low price.I thought that Apple had missed the mark at full price for these, but for $79, I have few complaints!AirPods 4: Now $79 at Amazon2025-11-21T11:26:52.279Z(Image credit: Future)Let's talk about the 1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51! I just compared these to a huge range headphones – both cheaper and more expensive – and I think these are the best headphones on the planet for sheer value for money right now, if you want active noise cancellation. You can read about my comparative testing in-depth in our best noise-cancelling headphones guide, or read our full 1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51 review to focus just on these headphones.But the TL;DR is that they sound better than they should, the noise cancellation is at a similar level to headphones that cost three or four times the price, they're very comfortable, they look pretty good, and the battery life is top tier. They're just a stone-cold bargain, and this is the lowest price they've ever been.1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51: Now $59.82 at Amazon2025-11-21T11:03:53.112ZI've just updated this article with some juicy new offers on affordable options – particularly the 1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51 and AirPods 4, both of which have hit lower prices than we've ever seen before!2025-11-21T09:52:58.154ZWelcome to day two of the Black Friday deals. Yes, there's still a week to go until Black Friday, but might see any number of interesting new discounts in the meantime. As ever, I'll update this page with the best stuff!2025-11-20T21:47:05.022Z(Image credit: Apple)One thing that sometimes doesn't get covered very often with earbuds is the microphone quality. Our best wireless earbuds guide actually has recordings of the buds we recommend, because while there's no way for us to demonstrate over the internet how their sound quality is, we can tell you how well the mics work.We rate the AirPods Pro 2 (following a recent update that improved mic clarity) and, oddly, the budget Sony WF-C510 as having the best quality – but you can hear for yourself in our comparison.2025-11-20T21:05:13.948ZWhat’s the best music streaming service?(Image credit: Tidal)Spotify is the world’s most popular music streaming service, and it’s one that we recommend as the best for most people in our best music streaming services guide. But there’s another service that beats Spotify when it comes to audio quality, and that’s Tidal.Tidal offers uncompressed and high-res versions of music tracks and albums, including some in spatial audio. We selected it as the best option for audiophiles in our music streaming service guide, and also praised its broad library and fantastic interface.There’s a world of music streaming options out there beyond Spotify. Check out our Tidal review to see exactly why we like it.2025-11-20T20:36:11.291Z(Image credit: Future/Lance Ulanoff)Size and comfort is something that people usually think about with earbuds (we have a whole guide to the best earbuds for small ears), but what sometimes gets missed when buying earbuds is the size of the case – and it really matters.A big part of the convenience of the best wireless earbuds is just slipping them into your pocket, or a pocket in your bag, to carry with you everywhere. But if they have a really bulky case, then they can get in the way, feel uncomfortable, or look lumpy. It can just end up being annoying. Not everyone cares about this, but this quality-of-life stuff can make all the difference.So here are some tips on buds with good slimline cases: The JLab Go Pop ANC (or the older JLab Go Air Pop) if you want something super-cheap; the Nothing Ear (a) for a great-value mid-range option; the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 for Apple fans; and perhaps surprisingly, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. The latter are fairly bulky buds, but Bose has designed the case to be slim (just quite tall).2025-11-20T20:04:43.103Z(Image credit: Future)The Bowers & Wilkins Pi6 Wireless Earbuds are getting a very good Black Friday deal at Amazon. These high-end buds are normally $249, but Amazon’s deal takes that down to $149, a 40% discount.Bowers & Wilkins make some of the world’s best speakers, including the ones used for recording and mastering at London’s Abbey Road studios. You’d think they’d also make great headphones, and you’d be right about that. We gave them a 4-star overall rating in our Bowers & Wilkins Pi6 Wireless Earbuds review, and 4.5 stars in the sound quality category.There’s one catch with this deal: it only applies to the Storm Grey color option. But Storm Grey, in my opinion, looks the best, as I’m sure you’ll agree when you click on that link below.Bowers & Wilkins Pi6 Wireless Earbuds (Storm Grey): Now $149 at Amazon2025-11-20T19:36:08.021Z(Image credit: Future)So, you're going to buy AirPods this Black Friday?

But there’s another reason why you might want to jump on this Bose earbuds deal: surround sound. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds can be used to convey surround sound information in movie soundtracks when used with the Bose Smart Soundbar (another Bose product that’s getting a great Black Friday deal).So, if you’re a fitness nut, a home theater nut, or both, this Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black Friday deal is for you.Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: Now $199 at Amazon2025-11-20T18:34:21.379Z(Image credit: Apple)The Apple AirPods Max is getting a nice (for Apple) 22% Black Friday discount at Amazon. But, there’s a catch: The discount only applies to the Purple color option, which in my opinion is one of the cooler-looking Max colors (certainly better than Orange).Apple’s AirPods draw loads of attention, particularly the new AirPods Pro 3, which is Apple’s best-selling model. The AirPods Max isn’t nearly as popular, but these over-ear headphones have great sound – we characterized it as “outstanding” in our Apple AirPods Max review – and Spatial Audio support.The other AirPods Max color options are also getting Black Friday discounts at Amazon, but none as deep as Purple. Ritchie Blackmore would approve.Apple AirPods Max (Purple): Now $429 at Amazon2025-11-20T18:00:36.222Z(Image credit: Future)Public Service Announcement: to keep your earbuds running for a long time, please remember to clean them every so often, so remove any build-ups of ear wax, or other bits than might find their way in.We have a guide to cleaning your earbuds safely, to help make sure that whatever you buy over Black Friday will last you for years.2025-11-20T17:29:42.307ZA super-rare deal on the Sonos Roam 2(Image credit: Sonos)Time to shift gears a bit here with a Bluetooth speaker deal. The Sonos Roam 2 is getting a 22% discount at Best Buy, knocking the price down from $179 to $139.Sonos speakers rarely get discounts outside of Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, so if you’ve had your eye on the Roam 2, now is the time to roam on over to Best Buy’s deal.As you can read in our Sonos Roam 2 review, what makes this wireless speaker special is its support for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth – the latter a useful feature when you roam away from home with the Roam 2. It also sounds “terrific,” has rugged build quality and comes in Black, White, Olive, Sunset, or Wave color options.Sonos Roam 2: Now $139 at Best Buy2025-11-20T17:01:27.235Z(Image credit: FiiO)While 99% of people will use wireless earbuds to listen to their phone, there is a growing movement of people who want to go back to have dedicated music players – perhaps as part of trying to avoid getting sucked into doomscrolling when you're just trying to put on some beats to work to.If that's you, check out our dedicated list of the best MP3 players, which is mostly focused on higher-quality players for hi-res music, but also has some more affordable models.2025-11-20T16:37:32.316Z(Image credit: Shutterstock)While I'm here, a quick reminder: people selling stuff on TikTok is neither new nor a Black Friday-only phenomenon, but it is ramping up during this potentially stressful and often rushed buying season. And I don't want you to fall foul of clicking through to something you shouldn't when looking to buy a nice new set of earbuds.Even TechRadar's Editor at Large isn't immune. Lance Ulanoff almost got scammed by one such too-good-to-be-true deal – and he has some advice for you.For Lance, it was the coming together of two issues: wanting to buy a coat quickly (owing to a recent cold snap) and the faked 'closing-down sale' of a 'family run' business. It led him down a path of almost buying an item that not only didn't exist, but could have opened up a trap door into which he’d drop his money, his identity and buyer satisfaction. All that stopped him was his wife, a savvy shopper who didn't like the look of what she saw online.If you take nothing else from this missive, know that TechRadar will only share deals from trusted, verified household-name retailers. We will also only direct you to brand new products we rate highly – we never share any 'refurbished' item information. If you stray into the realms of auction sites and social media sellers this Black Friday, take a moment. Look closely and think carefully before you click 'buy'.2025-11-20T16:08:49.121Z(Image credit: Future)One of the great features of AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3 that we mention a lot is its 'unloseable' case. What do we actually mean by that? Well, there are three different features in the latest AirPods Pro models that combine to make them, by far, the best set of earbuds for locating the damn things when you don't know where they are. (Other AirPods have some of these features, but only the Pro 2 and 3 have the UWB support.)1) UWB support. UWB is a kind of wireless tech that can detect the direction of the connection, and it means that your iPhone can literally put an arrow on the screen pointing you towards your AirPods' case. You need to be in fairly close range, and it only points in two dimensions, so you'll have to figure out if the AirPods are on another floor of your home. This tech is only found on AirPods Pro 2 and 3 in the AirPods range (and isn't on many other buds, actually).2) A speaker. UWB got you close, but you still can't see them? You can use your iPhone to trigger the case to make a noise using its built-in speaker.3) Lost Mode. If you've lost your AirPods somewhere, you can put them in Lost Mode. This will mean that if they have charge, they can connect to other people's iPhones, and piggyback their internet to tell you where they are. They can also display your contact info if someone finds them2025-11-20T15:30:05.137ZShokz awesome clip-style earbuds are already a bargain(Image credit: Future)Clip-style open earbuds are the hot thing right now, and the Shokz OpenDots One are best new release in this area – and they have a great deal, taking them down from $199 to $139.They only recently came out, and we gave them 4.5 out of 5 in our glowing Shokz OpenDots One review – so this discount is fantastic, and is the first we've seen for them.Clip-style open earbuds hook onto your ear, and don't go into the ear canal – they're really comfortable, they leave you able to hear the world around you as well as your music, and they sound superb.Shokz OpenDots One: Now $139 at Amazon2025-11-20T14:58:30.688Z(Image credit: Future)You're going to see lots of tempting deals on budget earbuds over this Black Friday, including on lots of brands you may not be so familiar with. So which are the companies you can trust?We rate JLab headphones generally highly, and both Earfun and Anker Soundcore produce high-quality headphones for the price. 1More is also a generally very reliable brand. It's also worth noting that Sony makes some very budget earbuds, and they're all excellent value.2025-11-20T14:32:41.782Z(Image credit: Future)What are the best bang-for-buck earbuds that you can buy right now? That's got to be the Nothing Ear (a), which scored five stars in our review at their full price of $109, but are regularly available for much less – and they're just $59 right now.You can read our full Nothing Ear (a) review for all the details, but the short version is: the sound is better than anything else at this price, the noise cancellation is very effective, they're comfortable, they look cool, and they have good battery life. The total budget package.Nothing Ear (a): Now $59 at Amazon2025-11-20T14:00:55.505Z(Image credit: Future)What's a good battery life to expect from wireless earbuds these days? We consider eight hours to be the average for anything with active noise cancellation turned on – anything below that disappoints us, and above that gets approval. Without ANC turned on, we hope for around eight hours from earbuds – but it might depend on the size (we don't look too harshly very tiny and cheap earbuds for offering eight hours with no ANC, for example).But that's from the buds themselves – then there's the case. Usually, you get two or three charges from the case, so the total amount of life matters too, and makes the whole thing more nuanced.For example, Sony's WF-C710N earbuds last well above average for the charge in the buds, but only have one charge in the case, so the total is a bit low. AirPods Pro 2 have a very average in-bud battery, but have one of the longest lives when you include the case. And the Beats Solo Buds have a gigantic 18-hour battery life… and no charge from the case at all.2025-11-20T13:40:23.780Z(Image credit: Future)One of the great marvels of the modern age of earbuds is how affordable active noise cancellation has become. This technology uses microphones on the outside of your earbuds to listen to the ambient sounds where you are (such as traffic, or people talking), analyzes the frequencies of those sounds, and then adds the opposite frequencies into your music, 'cancelling' out the noises from around you, so you can hear music or podcasts so much more cleary. We have a whole guide on what active noise cancellation is, if you want all the nuance.The important thing is that you can now get impactful noise cancellation in earbuds as cheap as $30 (the JLab Go Pop ANC), and they really will help make your music come through stronger. Meanwhile the best noise cancelling earbuds on the planet (the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen) cost many times that, but offer an incredible level of isolation from the world's chaos.2025-11-20T13:21:56.496Z(Image credit: Sony)You may have seen IP waterproof ratings on earbuds, often for earbuds that say they're suitable for exercise – but what do they actually mean? Let's break it does, because it might be useful when you're looking at what to buy.An IP rating is expressed as IP and then two numbers, or an X and then a number. The first number (or the X) refers to dustproofing. This can be useful, but we're not getting into it here – an X means it isn't rated for it. The second number refers to waterproofing.IPX4 is what you'll most commonly see, and it means that the buds can withstand splashes of water (such as light rain), and should resist sweat, for limited periods of time. I wouldn't recommend them for marathon running, and the buds may not last as well over time if you're using them in the gym daily and getting sweaty. But this should good for most people.IPX5 can withstand small "jets" of water, so you could take them out for a long run in a downpour, theoretically.IPX6 can withstand stronger jets of water. You could generally hope for these to be even more reliable in wet outdoor conditions.IPX8 means fully waterproof for long period. You can get totally dunked, or maybe even take these in the pool, if they fit securely enough.2025-11-20T13:00:50.781ZA record-low price on the best earbuds of 2025!(Image credit: Technics)Hello, hello. A new lowest-ever price on the earbuds we rate as being the best you can buy right now? The ones better than AirPods, better than Sony, better than Bose? Yes please!Released in January 2025, the Technics EAH-AZ100 are still the only earbuds to offer multipoint to three devices simultaneously, plus excellent sidetone tech for hearing your own voice in calls more naturally, as well as some of the most neutral and detailed audio in an even smaller, even more premium-feel design. We cannot recommend then enough.Technics EAH-AZ100: Now $224 at Amazon2025-11-20T12:45:21.275Z(Image credit: Future/Lance Ulanoff)Size and comfort is something that people usually think about with earbuds (we have a whole guide to the best earbuds for small ears), but what sometimes gets missed when buying earbuds is the size of the case – and it really matters.A big part of the convenience of the best wireless earbuds is just slipping them into your pocket, or a pocket in your bag, to carry with you everywhere. But if they have a really bulky case, then they can get in the way, feel uncomfortable, or look lumpy. It can just end up being annoying. Not everyone cares about this, but this quality-of-life stuff can make all the difference.So here are some tips on buds with good slimline cases: The JLab Go Pop ANC (or the older JLab Go Air Pop) if you want something super-cheap; the Nothing Ear (a) for a great-value mid-range option; the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods Pro 3 for Apple fans; and perhaps surprisingly, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. The latter are fairly bulky buds, but Bose has designed the case to be slim (just quite tall).2025-11-20T12:35:11.273ZSony's super-cheap earbuds are still a great deal(Image credit: Future)The Sony WH-C510 are earbuds we rate more highly than Apples AirPods 4, despite being half the price: in our review of the WF-C510 we said they are among our favorite low-cost earbuds thanks to their punchy, high-quality sound, comfortable fit and ultra-affordable price.We rated them four and a half stars when they were at full price. At this discounted price they're an absolute steal, as long as you're happy without active noise cancellation.Sony WF-C510: now $48 at Amazon2025-11-20T12:23:58.357ZThird in my list of ones to avoid is the Earfun Tune Pro. What's so bad about these? It's a simple answer: the Earfun Wave Life are simply a much better proposition! We love those headphones, and if you see a great deal on them, don't hesitate! But do hesitate to get their weaker sibling pair.2025-11-20T12:16:29.725ZNext up, the Sony ULT Wear. These have some big Black Friday discounts already, so you might easily find yourself tempted… but there are so many Sony over-ear headphones I recommend wholeheartedly, that buying a Sony set only worthy of a four-star review after going 12 rounds in our intensive testing process – see our Sony ULT Wear review if you don't believe me – would be a misstep, even if they're heavily discounted. The Sony WH-1000XM4 are barely any more expensive right now! Get those!2025-11-20T12:06:32.245ZI've recommended a load of deals I think you'll like here, but let's mention a few products I think probably won't make good Black Friday buys, even if they get strong discounts.First up is the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active. Here's the thing: they're made for using while exercising, but I don't think they're a great fit for sports use. The bass slider is a fun addition to help you crush those workouts, true, but the insecure fit undermines it all – even in relatively slow and strong workouts.Our 3.5-star Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active review will explain all of this further, of course, but if it has to be Skullcandy, take a look at our Skullcandy Method 360 earbuds review; slightly chunky case, but Bose helped tailor the audio, and wow, has it helped.2025-11-20T12:01:31.579ZLooking at all these deals, you're probably wondering just how many have really hit their lowest price or will drop further in a week, and how many other deals might appear on Black Friday itself. Unfortunately, we really don't know – but there are two things to consider.First, if you see a product you like and it's the price you want to pay, then buy it, and don't worry if it becomes $10 cheaper later. It's about getting the product you want within your budget. Obviously, we don't want you to buy a poor deal – we won't tell you about those. But just don't agonize over whether you should hold on or not; this stuff shouldn't be stressful.Second, I have one tip to bear in mind. If you're looking at a product that you know has had deals in the past, and it's full price (or really close to it) in the build-up to Black Friday, then it's probably getting a Black Friday deal that's coming later.2025-11-20T11:56:11.660ZWhen it comes to spatial audio for movies, the Sonos Ace and Apple's AirPods Max and AirPods Pro model really stand apart. There are other models that have great spatial audio with music (including several Sony models, and Bose's Ultra range), but for movie fans who want immersion on the go, the Ace and AirPods are the way to go.2025-11-20T11:51:43.640ZSonos' headphones – down to the right price?(Image credit: Future)The Sonos Ace have a nice Black Friday discount, bringing them down to $279. Their noise cancellation punches above that price, and the sound quality is very good for the price too – but as we said in our original Sonos Ace review, the real trick here is how good they are with movies.The Dolby Atmos sound is just fantastic, and the spatial audio with head-tracking really feels like you're sitting among a set of home theater speakers. It works over Bluetooth, or with Sonos' soundbars, which is a trick few other headphones can manage.2025-11-20T11:48:15.786ZThe best-value noise cancelling headphones, no question(Image credit: Future)Here's an interesting one – the Bose QuietComfort Headphones are technically a bargain right now at $199. Except that a few days ago, they briefly dropped to $169. Maybe they'll do so again, or maybe not. The thing is, if you want noise-cancelling headphones, you should probably just ignore the $169 price and get them anyway.We just recently re-tested all the best noise-cancelling headphones, and rated the Bose QuietComfort Headphones as the best option under $250, because they offer class-leading noise cancellation that's basically as good as the models that cost nearly twice as much. We did direct comparisons against all the biggest competitors, in real-world environments, and these punch so far above their weight.They're better at blocking sound than the Sony WH-1000XM5 right now, and are notably cheaper. Maybe it's worth waiting to see if you can save an extra $30, but if you're feeling impatient, you'll still find these to be an amazingly good value.Bose QuietComfort Headphones: now $1992025-11-20T11:42:01.446ZBTW, it's no coincidence that I've shared a few pairs of earbuds that come in funky finishes. The pink Bose are called "Sonic Sangria", and the blue translucent Sony buds remind me of the iMac and the Game Boy Advance. I love when there are fun options! Why do so many companies only do boring colors? And by "so many companies" I mean, you, Apple.2025-11-20T11:35:28.953ZSuper-cheap Sony alert!(Image credit: Future)Let's stick with cheap Sonys for a moment – here's a pair of Sony cans for under $40. That's not a mistake: this deal takes a cool 46% off the list price. These were already impressively cheap headphones, and as we said in our WH-CH520 review they are "simply superb value". They sound good, they run for 50 hours between charges and they're comfortable too. What's not to like?Sony WH-CH520: now $38 at Amazon2025-11-20T11:30:18.931ZSony's best earbuds, in our humble opinion(Image credit: Future)Sony's newest affordable wireless earbuds for less than $80 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale? Yup: the Sony WF-C710N are a real bargain.For this money, you're getting Sony quality for the kind of money you'd expect to pay for a much lesser brand. In our Sony WF-C710N review, we heaped praise on these buds for their bolstered battery life, fantastic sound quality and upgraded ANC. At this price point, my recommending them is a no-brainer.We think these are the best Sony earbuds to buy right now, when it comes to balancing price and performance. The Sony WF-1000XM5 might be higher-end, but they're not as impressive as they should be for three times the price of these excellent buds. Sony WF-C710N: now $79 at Amazon2025-11-20T11:24:15.277ZGood noise-cancelling headphones under $50(Image credit: Future)Here's one for bargain hunters: the JLab JBuds Lux ANC might have sound that's a little bass-heavy – but could be ideal for those who like that kind of presentation – but for under $50 the audio is much better than it's any right to be.Also, the build feels far more premium than even the MSRP suggests and the battery life, at up to 70 hours, or 44 with ANC deployed, is unheard of for the level. Read our full JLab JBuds Lux ANC review for more, but know this: JLab is a trusted name in affordable head-fi and these over-ear headphones won't disappoint for a good budget option.JLab JBuds Lux ANC: now $49.99 at Amazon2025-11-20T11:17:12.534ZThe best noise-cancelling earbuds on the planet?(Image credit: Future)You can get the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen for $299 right now. On the face of it, a $50 saving isn't the most headline-worthy sale you'll see on Black Friday, but this is Bose.It's also the first ever saving I've seen on this set of 5-star, 2025-release noise-cancelling earbuds that basically walk all over anything else on the market for noise cancellation (except maybe Apple's AirPods Pro 3 – but if you don't own an iPhone I don't recommend those, however good the deal).A lowest-seen fee on a truly excellent set of new earbuds from Bose? Yes please.Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen: Now $299 at Amazon2025-11-20T11:12:02.539ZSony's previous flagship hit their lowest price – but is it low enough?(Image credit: Future)These headphones have been superseded by the excellent Sony WH-1000XM6, but if you've been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but didn't like their fairly high price tag then today is a good day to buy. These premium headphones have just dropped below $250, which is as low as they've ever been – check out our review of the Sony WH-1000XM5 to get all the details on them.They're very good, but the question is whether this is going to be a low enough price to tempt people. Newer headphones from Bose, Nothing and Cambridge Audio are in this price zone, and there are cheaper headphones that very tempting too.The XM5 are still excellent headphones, though – if you've been considering them, this is as cheap as they've ever been!Sony WH-1000XM5: now $248 at Amazon2025-11-20T11:07:50.333ZAirPods Pro 2 hit lowest-ever price(Image credit: Future)$139 is a true steal for earbuds this good! It doesn't matter that AirPods Pro 3 have come out since then – they cost over $100 more than this! Yes, they have better noise cancellation and longer battery life, but their other improvements aren't so huge, and this model still sounds excellent, has really good active noise cancellation, and are packed with smart features.For this price, there's no better earbuds option for Apple users, and I bet most people would be happier keeping $110 in their wallet and buying these than getting the new model.AirPods Pro 2: now $139 at Walmart2025-11-20T11:03:57.398ZPlus, let's face it, there are some of you out there who are really hoping to buy a pair of the best noise-cancelling headphones or noise-cancelling earbudsbefore the family arrives for Thanksgiving…2025-11-18T15:04:39.473ZIt begins!Welcome to our live coverage of this year's Black Friday deals across headphones and earbuds! Yes, there's nearly a week before Black Friday itself, but the big deals are starting now, and there's tons of really low prices that mean it's not really worth waiting.LATEST ARTICLES1What is Google AI Mode – and should you use it? 2US FCC repeals cybersecurity rules aimed at preventing Salt Typhoon-esque attacks3NYT Connections hints and answers for Saturday, November 22 (game #895)4Quordle hints and answers for Saturday, November 22 (game #1398)5NYT Strands hints and answers for Saturday, November 22 (game #629)
