It's a busy week for AirPods Black Friday deals. Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon are all offering excellent sales on Apple's wireless earbuds. As a reminder, prices hit $89 for the base AirPods last week. This price is no longer available, but we suspect at least one retailer will offer AirPods Black Friday deals in that price again in the coming days.

To be fair, you can find AirPods deals any time of the year. However, Black Friday deals offer the lowest prices, with epic discounts that you typically don't see the rest of the time. And with the new AirPods 3 available for purchase, we expect to see more AirPods Black Friday deals than ever. (The new buds are already $5 off via Amazon). Below you'll find the best deals you can shop now.

AirPods Black Friday deals — best early sales

AirPods Black Friday deals — where to find sales

When it comes to AirPods Black Friday deals, we tend to gravitate toward the deals offered by Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Staples has also proved to be a noteworthy contender when it comes to sales. In fact, it was Staples that first dropped the AirPods Pro price to $199 last September. Amazon immediately followed suit. That said, these retailers will lead the charge when it comes to AirPods Black Friday deals this year.

Buy now or wait?

If you're in the market for new AirPods, we recommend buying early — but only if the price is right. For instance, Walmart will offer the AirPods for $89 on November 10. That's $10 cheaper than their Black Friday price last year. Given how in demand this sale will be, we expect them to sell out within minutes. (The good news is other retailers will likely match Walmart).

Likewise, we expect the AirPods Pro to possibly drop to $149 or $159 this year, which would be $10 to $20 cheaper than last year's price low of $169. Meanwhile, the new AirPods 3 could get from $20 to $40 off as retailers fight for your attention (and money). They're already $5 off.
