25 best earbuds deals ahead of Black Friday

Table of Contents

Black Friday proper is still a week away, but Black Friday sales are officially kicking off in earnest if earbuds deals are anything to go by.

While we saw some earbuds go on sale earlier this week, a much bigger selection dropped in price as of Nov. 20. It's no coincidence, considering it's the day Amazon's Black Friday sale started. The mega-retailer has the bulk of earbuds deals available by far, but it's not the only one with excellent deals: Walmart has the Apple AirPods 4 down to just $79.99 and AirPods Pro 2 down to $139, and is price-matching some of Amazon's best earbuds deals.

Below, you'll find 25 of the best deals we've spotted so far, on everything from noise-cancelling to sleep earbuds. We'll continue updating this post in the lead-up and through Black Friday, so check back often.

Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal

Why we like it

While there are plenty of excellent noise-cancelling earbuds on sale, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 buds don't often get price markdowns. Granted, they are geared toward working out, but as workout earbuds, they're excellent, earning a Mashable Choice Award from our team. The ANC, built-in heart rate monitor, and in-ear bud with an ear hook all work in tandem to create an environment where you can truly lock into your exercise, without sacrificing sound quality. The gamut of features is reflected in the $250 price point, which makes this deal extra appealing.

Best open earbuds deal

Why we like it

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale, making them the perfect Black Friday purchase. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

Best sleep earbuds deal

Why we like it

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds out there, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. The main difference between them and their newer A20 counterpart is ANC and some white noise features. While these are nice add-ons for the Sleep A30 buds, it doesn't necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisier neighbors, street noise, and AC units, especially if you plan on streaming audio.
