Apple AirPods Pro deals

If you own an iPhone or multiple Apple products, the AirPods Pro are likely the best true wireless earbuds on the market for you. Unlike the base AirPods, the latest Pros offer better sound quality and feature active noise cancellation, not to mention seamless integration with iOS and a MagSafe-compatible charging case.

While the AirPods Pro carry a lofty $249.99 price tag, they also go on sale rather frequently. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, for instance, we saw them drop as low as $160. They’re no longer available at that price, but you can get a pair with the MagSafe charging case for $179.99 from Verizon or $199.98 at Amazon and Walmart. Frankly, those prices aren’t exactly something to write home about, but considering how often the Pros are on sale, you should try not to spend more than that on them.

Apple AirPods (second-gen) deals

Alternatively, you can buy a pair of entry-level second-generation AirPods with a wired charging case. The base AirPods normally retail for $129, but you can currently get them for $119.98 at Amazon, Walmart, or Target. We see them dip to $99 with some frequency, and they’ve even gone as low as $89 around the holidays. They may be a little dated now, with sound quality that’s mostly in the “okay” category, but they’re as cheap as you can get for Apple’s own line of wireless earbuds — complete with easy connectivity to iPhones, iPads, and Macs thanks to the built-in H1 chip.

The second-gen AirPods with an included wireless charging case are all but gone now unless you’re shopping used or refurbished. Though, if you prefer that added convenience, it’s probably best to shop for a deal on the newer third-gen AirPods.

Last on the AirPods block is the recent third-gen model, the latest addition to the AirPods lineup. The earbuds blend a bit of the AirPods Pro look with the hard plastic build of the second-gen model and come with a MagSafe-compatible charging case. They also offer IPX4 water resistance, improved sound quality, and retail for $179.

We’ve seen the third-gen AirPods on sale for as low as $140, but they are currently available for a much more modest price of $169 at Verizon and about $170 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart. That’s around $10 off their regular retail price. Though it may not be much, it’s still worth considering over the aging second-gen version if you like the newer design and MagSafe charging.

Similar in appearance to their sleeker sibling, the AirPods Pro, the latest entry-level AirPods boast a new charging case and shorter stems. They’re also water resistant, unlike the 2019 model, and sport better battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro deals

Samsung has a few different wireless earbuds to choose from, including its latest flagship wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro. These earbuds include active noise cancellation and some of the best sound quality of any Samsung earbuds to date.

During Black Friday, the Galaxy Buds Pro were more than $50 off, bringing the price down to around $150 — nearly an all-time low — in select colorways. Amazon is currently matching that exceptional price of $149.99 for the Buds Pro in silver. As for other retailers and other color options, Best Buy, Samsung, and Target have them for $179.99 ($20 off).

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro have a blend of tech found in the Buds Plus and Buds Live, with the best sound quality the company has achieved yet in a pair of earbuds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 deals

Samsung released the Galaxy Buds 2 — a good-sounding pair of earbuds with active noise cancellation, wireless charging, and a subtle design — in August of 2021, and we’ve seen plenty of discounts since then at retailers like Woot and Amazon. Right now, the best price around is $129 at Amazon, Target, or Best Buy. It’s just about a $20 discount on Samsung’s entry-level buds, but they do hit above their weight class a bit with noise cancellation and good audio quality. If past deals tell us anything, it will not be long before you can scoop up these earbuds for a better price.

The Galaxy Buds 2 are the new entry-level wireless earbuds from Samsung. Despite this, they’re packed with enough features that people on a budget might be happy choosing these over the pricier Buds Pro.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live deals

The Galaxy Buds Live are some of the more unconventional wireless earbuds on the market right now, but don’t let their bean-shaped design fool you. The Buds Live are a good option if you want earbuds that produce powerful sound and showcase marathon battery life. Right now, you can purchase a pair of the Galaxy Buds Live in red from Amazon for $129.95 ($40 off). For more color options, Best Buy and Samsung have a variety of the bean-like earbuds on sale for $149.99. That $30 off may be a far cry from their biggest discounts, but at least you get some options.

Samsung’s unconventional wireless earbuds are shaped like beans, but they produce a powerful sound and come with lengthy battery life.

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2 deals

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2 are another pair of excellent noise-canceling earbuds that are currently on sale. As noted in our review, the earbuds offer great ANC performance, customizable controls, and sound that can nearly match that of a premium pair of noise-canceling over-ear headphones. This does come at a fairly steep regular price of $299.95, and, now, there’s a new model that delivers more features for $249.95. So it’s possible we’ll see the Momentum True Wireless 2 get phased out soon.

In the meantime, the Momentum True Wireless 2 hasn’t hit fire sale pricing just yet, but you can get them right now for $199.98 ($100 off) direct from Sennheiser as well as Best Buy. We’ve seen them dip slightly lower in the past, so perhaps they may go cheaper if retailers have enough leftover stock.

Beats Powerbeats Pro deals

If you’re currently in the market for a reliable pair of wireless earbuds for your workouts, it’s hard to go wrong with the predecessor to the Studio Buds, the Beats Powerbeats Pro. These earbuds from 2019 sport an over-ear hook that keeps them in place while you’re exercising; they also offer IPX4 sweat- and water-resistant, meaning you don’t have to worry about ruining them should your workout get intense.

Typically $249.95, the Beats Powerbeats Pro are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and the official Beats storefront, all of which are selling them in several colors for around $200. We’ve seen them sell for lower prices before — they were on sale for around $150 throughout November and December — but it’s still a decent discount on what would otherwise be a $250 pair of earbuds.

Beats Powerbeats Pro

The Beats Powerbeats Pro provide up to nine hours of battery life, with 24 hours provided by the case. They’re IPX4 sweat- and water resistant, too, and feature Apple’s H1 chip for easy pairing and hands-free Siri commands.

UE Fits deals

After testing a pair for ourselves, we remarked in our review that the UE Fits were the most comfortable consumer earbuds on the market. That’s because, unlike the other wireless earbuds on this list, the UE Fits are uniquely capable of permanently molding to the shape of your ears in just 60 seconds, making them a great choice for those concerned their earbuds may come loose or fall out. We also found that they offer good sound quality, as well as lengthy, eight-hour battery life. Normally $199.99, you can get them right now for just $169 direct from Ultimate Ears in gray, midnight blue, and the limited edition hot pink.

The UE Fits come with ear tips that permanently mold to the unique shape of your ears in just 60 seconds. This allows for a much better fit that you can comfortably wear for hours.
