2023’s Black Friday earbuds deals have turned out to be particularly juicy and we're expecting to see a lot of these continue to be in the best Cyber Monday deals. There’s never been more choice in the budget arena – many options we’ve reviewed like the JLab Go Air Pop ranked among the best Black Friday deals – and at the premium end things are looking great too. The AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 have seen major discounts.

When did the Black Friday earbuds deals start in 2023 and when is Cyber Monday?

Although Black Friday was on November 24 2023, stores have continued vying for your precious cash after that, well past Cyber Monday and into the gift-buying season. Also, based on previous years, we expect that deals will quite likely remain well into December. 

Where are the best Black Friday earbuds deals?

Short answer: you can find the most worthwhile ones from retailers across every corner of the internet right here! We’ll curate our favorite deals in this article, based on our experience with the buds and our knowledge of the best prices, the second we spot a good deal.

But if you mean more broadly, then in the US we suggest keeping your eyes peeled for our Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart coverage. This won’t exactly come as a revelation, but in our experience, these retailers are delivering the lowest prices on big brand products. In the UK, it’s the same for Amazon, Currys and AO.

Don’t expect to see big discounts if you go direct to the stores of companies such as Apple and Bose, though. Apple resolutely sold things at full price on Black Friday, so be sure to check our best AirPods Black Friday deals list for any still available.

What Black Friday earbuds deals have we seen in 2023?

Let’s start with Black Friday AirPods deals, since these are so popular. We saw some really juicy deals on AirPods Pro 2, at $20 cheaper than we've ever seen them, because the older Lightning-connected model is now been superseded by the new USB-C model. 

But the audio specification of the two is the same, it's a stone-cold bargain. We've also seen some record lows on the AirPods 3, which are in line to be replaced next year with a USB-C version too. 

AirPods Max is an interesting one – again, we suspect a new version will come next year, so record-matching discounts of up to $200 felt likely – but we’ve been surprised by how shallow discounts on AirPods Max have been so far… 

Sony is a big player this Black Friday, no question. This year, the company introduced the Sony WH-CH520 and Sony WH-CH720N affordable headphones, plus the wallet-friendly Sony WF-C700N earbuds, and all are great – and have seen excellent discounts. And the same is true for the Sony WH-1000XM4, which hit record-low prices this Black Friday, having had big permanent price cuts since the arrival of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

Bose is a tough one. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are a perennial sales favorite, but we've seen few discounts. However, the Bose QuietComfort 45 and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have seen their prices slashed following the introduction of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

Now, Beats: Beats Studio Buds Plus and the new Beats Studio Pro got some choice Black Friday discounts to keep them competitive, and Beats Fit Pro had brief flash deals.

At the more affordable end of things, JBL always has a big Black Friday presence, and the Live Pro 2 saw a whopping 50% off discount in the US. And for super-cheap earbuds, the Earfun Air Pro 3 and JLab Go Air Pop saw record low prices, with the former dropping to just $9.88 at Walmart. No really!
