When it comes to earbuds, there’s not a whole lot of competition for Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro. A solid choice for iPhone users and a reasonable one for Android smartphones, AirPods, more so AirPods Pro, have a solid list of features. Although Apple’s prices can usually alienate users on a budget, Black Friday makes sure there’s accessibility for all with some serious bargains.
The standard pricepoint is warranted when looking AirPod build quality, features, and ease of use. If you’re using an iPhone alongside them, just open them up, and off you go. For Android users, simply download the companion app, and away you go, it’s that simple (just make sure Bluetooth is enabled).
Although you won’t find features such as noise cancellation, spatial/transparent audio, or adaptive EQ with the standard AirPods model, they are still worth every penny thanks to their overall sound quality and build. On the other hand, if you want the extra bells and whistles but you don’t want to pay full price, check out these deals below that are live right now:
