Best Black Friday Audio (Earbuds & Headphones) Deals 2025
We can't speak for everyone, but around these parts we're all gonna be packing on a few extra pounds after feasting on Thanksgiving, followed by more holiday meals to close out 2025. Factor in leftovers and, well, our waistlines don't stand a chance. That's okay, in part because we'll work it off while jamming to our playlists. You can too, if you want, with a new set of earbuds or headphones. And to that end, Black Friday is one of the best times to buy because there are a bunch of great deals on tap.
Before we jump straight into the best ones, be sure to check out and bookmark our Black Friday week deals roundup, which we'll continue to update through the weekend and into Cyber Monday. We'll trust that you've done that, so let's get to it!
Top Earbuds Deal - Apple AirPods 2 For A Low $139
- Why We Picked It: Shown above, the AirPods Pro 2 is Apple's previous generation flagship AirPods and being a last-gen model is precisely why this is such a good deal. Yes, the AirPods Pro 3 are newer and fancier with some enticing upgrades, like better ANC and a purportedly improved fit. But the AirPods Pro 2 are still excellent and aggressively discounted. Whereas the AirPods Pro 3 have a $249 MSRP (currently on sale for $219.99 at Amazon), the AirPods Pro 2 are more than $100 less expensive.
- Sale Price: $139
- Regular Price: $239

Best Budget Priced AirPods - AirPods 4 Hit All-Time Low At $69
- Why We Picked It: Not everyone needs and/or wants to pay a premium for active noise cancellation. If that describes you, the AirPods 4 are calling your name. These earbuds are based on the same H2 chip as found in the AirPods Pro 3, they sound great, and they're not lacking in features with personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking and more.
That said, Apple DOES actually offer a version of the AirPods 4 with ANC and it's on sale as well. - Sale Price: $69 w/o ANC ($99 w/ ANC)
- Regular Price: $129 w/o ANC ($179 w/ ANC)

Affordable Earbuds - Soundcore By Anker P20i For $18.99
- Why We Picked It: Affordable earbuds are a dime a dozen but the Soundcore by Anker P20i carry a brand name we trust (Anker is our go-to for cables but it also dabbles in other product categories). With the Black Friday in play, these wireless earbuds are under $20 while offering water resistance, dual mics for clear calls, 22 preset EQs, and up to 30 hours of listening time.

Over-Ear Headphones Deal With Long Battery Life - Sony WH-1000MX5 Starting At $239.99

Just the opposite, it's available for a deep discount for Black Friday, starting at $239.99 (Black). Other colors are priced at $248 (Midnight Blue and Smokey Pink) and $243.04 (Silver). Color preference aside, the WH-1000MX5 is one of the most lauded headsets for its comfortable fit, excellent ANC, sound quality, and up to 30 hours of battery life.
