Apple AirPods

It’s no accident that Apple’s AirPods are by far the most popular true wireless earbuds on the planet. They’re small and convenient, they pair with iPhones in seconds, and they’ve got excellent wireless and call quality. If you’ve been wanting a pair, now’s probably the best time of the year to pick them up. We’ve never seen a

lower price on AirPods

with a charging case than Amazon’s Black Friday deal of $129 — a $31 savings on the regular price. It’s one of many great Black Friday AirPods deals we’ve found.

With five hours of playtime per charge and 24 hours total when you include the charging case, that’s easily enough for a full day. Naturally, iPhone users will benefit the most from the AirPods as they give you super-quick pairing to your phone and hands-free access to Siri thanks to the new Apple H1 wireless chip.

If you love the idea of the AirPods, but want some added convenience, the AirPods with wireless charging case are also a great deal right now on Amazon,

at just $155

— $44 off the regular price of $199. They’ve got all of the benefits of the standard AirPods, plus a charging case that can recharge using any Qi charging mat or the included lightning cable — the choice is yours.

As good as the AirPods are, you will be blown away by the AirPods Pro — we certainly were. With improvements across the board, from sound quality to water-resistance and even an active noise-canceling (ANC) feature that is as good as what you’ll get from the superb Sony WF-1000XM3, the AirPods Pro are one of the best true wireless earbuds available. Normally $50 more than the AirPods with wireless charging case, they’re already a great value, but during Black Friday

they’re just $235 at Amazon

.

If you’re not convinced that the AirPods Pro are right for you, we’ve created several comparisons between them and their current top competitors. See how they compare to: The Sony WF-1000XM3, Jabra’s Elite 75t, and Amazon’s new Echo Buds.

Or let us save you some time: In every comparison, we come to the same conclusion: If you use an iPhone, the AirPods Pro are the buds to get. You may save some money with other earbuds, but you won’t find the same number of convenient features, comfort, and sound quality.

Of course, there are tons of other headphones deals to be had this Black Friday, so shop around. Also, don’t forget that Cyber Monday will have it’s own great headphone deals too.

In a bizarre twist, AirPods Pro are cheaper in Canada … for now
Apple AirPods Pro 2 inside their charging case.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, it's been impossible to escape the headlines around the new tariffs imposed on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese imports to the U.S. (or the many retaliatory tariffs that these countries have imposed on U.S. products). The expectation is that these tariffs will make certain goods more expensive, regardless where you live. But in a bizarre twist of timing, tariffs, and currency exchange rates, one particularly popular Apple product is cheaper in Canada than in the U.S.: the AirPods Pro 2.

Apple sells the AirPods Pro 2 in the U.S. for $249 and $329 ($CAD) in Canada. A quick look at current currency conversion rates shows that despite the higher number in Canada, that's actually the cheaper of the two prices. According to RBC Bank's currency calculator, if you hold U.S. dollars right now, you can buy $329 CAD for just $236 USD -- a $13-dollar savings.

Apple is eyeing AirPods with camera and health sensors as a priority

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently sat for an interview with Wired and dished on Apple’s focus in the foreseeable future. Health and wellness stood out as a recurring element. AirPods, which recently landed a hearing assistance facility, are visibly at the center of those ambitions. Now, Bloomberg reports that the earbuds will soon add cameras and health sensors to their arsenal.

At one point in time, Apple was reportedly working on integrating cameras into the wireless earbuds, but the project was put on ice. It seems that the recent explosion of AI-based workflows across nearly every product category inspired Apple to revive the endeavor.

Here’s how Apple’s AirPods Pro hearing assistance stacks up to professional results
Apple's hearing test in iOS 18.1.

Apple made waves when it announced that its AirPods Pro 2, when combined with iOS 18.1, could fulfill the role of OTC hearing aids. Given that OTC hearing aids can often run as much as $1,500, it seemed too good to be true that the same hearing benefits could be had for just $249 or less. Better yet, given the popularity of Apple's wireless earbuds, there's an excellent chance that those who could benefit already own them (if you live in a country where Apple's hearing aid feature has been approved).

So how good are the AirPods Pro 2 as OTC hearing aids?
