Major discounts are always available on the AirPods around the holiday season, and this Black Friday is no different. We're tracking all-time low prices on AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro 2, and more below.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

Of course, there is a chance that we could see better deals on AirPods arrive as Black Friday gets closer. This is a risk anyone has to take while shopping during the holidays, so with that in mind, many of the deals shared below are currently their best prices ever seen. More information on these sales can be found in our Black Friday Roundup.

We originally tracked the AirPods 2 for $69.00 at Amazon in early November, but that sale quickly expired. Amazon now has this model for $79.99, down from $129.00. This version of the AirPods is perfect for anyone on your holiday shopping list who may be asking for a simple and reliable pair of wireless earbuds, particularly at this insanely low price tag.



airpods-3-red.jpg

Amazon has the AirPods 3 with Lightning Charging Case for $139.99, down from $169.00. These are upgraded in a few ways from the AirPods 2, with spatial audio, Adaptive EQ, force sensor controls, sweat and water resistance, and more.



airpods-pro-2-red-2.jpg

Moving to the Pro lineup, Amazon has the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C/MagSafe Charging Case for $189.99, which is a match of the all-time low price on this model.



airpods-max-red.jpg

Lastly, the high-end AirPods Max are available for $449.99 on Amazon, down from $549.00. Discounts on the AirPods Max have been rare over the past few months, so this one is a second-best price on the over-ear headphones.



We've begun tracking all of the season's best deals in our dedicated Black Friday Roundup, so be sure to bookmark the page and visit it throughout the season as you do your online shopping. Our roundup mainly focuses on Apple products and related tech accessories.

The 3rd generation with wireless charging case are $149 on Apple's Refurb store. I bought these after trying the Pro 2nd generations and just not liking how they hurt my ears. :-/

Are these late Black Friday deals… or just late ones from 2022 🤔

Black Friday is a permanent fixture around the year these days.

At least it is, indeed a Friday, today.

Yeah I’m currently testing out the pro 2 after being used to my AirPods 3 which I really like. I have some discomfort in one ear…. So annoying.

I've had the 3rd generation since they came out and they've been hugely disappointing for me. They don't stay in my ears firmly enough to produce decent sound quality (a problem the 1st and 2nd gen didn't have) and after two years the bass response died on them. The 2nd Gen Pros were a huge improvement out of the box.

I recommend trying some different tips. Apple's aren't as comfortable as some of the memory foam options out there, especially if your ears are in between Apple's sizes.

I have baby-sized ears. I'm sure they're fine for most other people.

Costco is price matching Amazon on the USB-C APP2. However, that price won't go live until 11/24.

I'm just curious how you know if you're getting genuine Apple products, or knock offs, if you buy from somewhere from Amazon? Or from any store apart from the Apple Store to be perfectly honest.

This goes for pretty much all electronics these days. The knock offs these days are impossible to tell apart.

AirPods Max were $450 (all colors) at Amazon just a few days ago (you had to click on the “coupon”). If you are thinking about getting them but aren’t in a rush I’d watch & wait a bit.

I figure the knock offs won’t have the Apple chip that allows you to pair the device just by bringing it near another Apple device.

They may be able to knock off the look to a tee but it’s a lot harder to create something that functions the same way beyond how it looks.

Good to see AirPods 2 at $99. A future new model at that price point will be good.

On Amazon.de I don't see any discount on Airpods for 2. 262 euros..I guess those discounts don't apply for Europe.

I see why you’d intuitively think that (must be something something Apple security between devices), but there are lots of AirPod knockoffs that have that functionality. Someone has cracked whatever authentication is happening there. Also interesting that there are regularly reports of the audio functionality in knockoffs being great. It’s kind of mind boggling.
