Best Cyber Monday AirPods deals

If you're looking at entry-level AirPods, then you've got a couple of options. There's the AirPods second-gen, which will save you some money. They're not the prettiest or the best sounding on the block, but they are the cheapest. The AirPods 3 will set you back a little more, but they'll sound better, and feature Spatial Audio and a MagSafe charging case. Both see discounts throughout the year, and Cyber Monday is likely to bring some of the best deals.

Best Cyber Monday AirPods Pro deals

If you're after AirPods with active noise-cancellation, the AirPods Pro line are the way to go. The first model was released in 2019, and featured more sealing in the ear with silicon buds, as well as ANC (that's the active noise cancellation) and transparency modes (so that you can hear what's going on when you don't want the ANC). 

Now, there's the AirPods Pro 2, the latest in the AirPods family. They're equipped with even better noise-canceling, improved transparency modes and more battery life.

Best Cyber Monday AirPods Max deals

The AirPods Max are Apple's costliest audio device and enter into the overhead headphone space. There's premium sound quality and Spatial audio on board as well as ANC and transparency mode. Just make sure you grab one of the best AirPods Max cases to go with your new headphones — the one in the box is shocking.

Where can I find the best Cyber Monday AirPods deals

AirPods are a hot ticket item throughout the year and retailers often offer deals to lure in buyers. With the holiday shopping season upon us, we're seeing the best Cyber Monday AirPods deals of the year. We'll be keeping tabs on the best offers on this page but the below retailers are a good place to start if you want to scope out some deals for yourself.

  • Amazon: expect all-time low AirPods prices
  • Best Buy: Apple deals with bundled extras like cases and Apple Music
  • B&H: usually competitive on price plus tax savings with Payboo credit card

When does Cyber Monday start?

Cyber Monday begins on Monday, November 28, so if you're reading this it's already here and this is your last chance to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals.

How long will the Cyber Monday AirPods deals last?

Well, it's very easy to say that they'll end on Black Friday. After that, they become Cyber Monday deals. After that, however, things get a little murky. Some of the better ones finish and go back to full price, but some stick around ready for the later Christmas rush. Better to be safe than sorry, though — if you spot a deal, grab it while it's hot.

Which are the AirPods for me?

There are a number of reasons you might choose any one pair of AirPods, but some are very simple. If you want the cheapest AirPods, then you'll want a pair of AirPods 2. They may not be the most special or new AirPods, but they are solid in-ear wireless buds that work perfectly with iPhone.

Want noise canceling? Then the AirPods Pro are the way to go. They seal better in the ear and actively cancel noise too. They cost more, but they are some quality headphones.

Need the biggest and the best? Grab some AirPods Max. You'll pay loads and get a rubbish carry case, but you'll know that you've got the top-of-the-range AirPods.

Which AirPods are the best?

The AirPods Pro 2 are Apple's best earphones and have an MSRP of $249 while the AirPods Max (MSRP $549) are the best (and only) over-ear headphones Apple makes. 

Also available are the cheaper 2nd and 3rd generation AirPods (MSRP $129 and $179 respectively).

What's the difference between the AirPods Pro and the normal AirPods?

The key difference between the AirPods Pro and the normal AirPods earphones is that the Pros include active noise cancelling and adaptive transparency, whereas the non-Pro AirPods do not. Active noise cancelling means the AirPod Pros can block out external noises far more effectively than the non-Pro models and is a must if you listen in a noisy environment. 

Adaptive transparency on the other hand actually amplifies external noise a little, meaning you can clearly hear even with the rubber-tipped AirPods Pro sealing your ear canal. 

Are AirPods water resistant?

The AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd generation and the AirPods 3 (3rd generation) are water and sweat resistant to a small degree. That means they can withstand a little water but should not be used for swimming or showering. The AirPods 2 and AirPods Max are not water resistant to any degree. 

None of the charging cases are water resistant.
