If you've been eyeing a new pair of AirPods, Cyber Monday is one of the best times to snag one on sale. I rounded up all the best Cyber Monday AirPods deals below so you can jump straight to the good stuff.

Right now, Amazon has the AirPods Pro 3 at $30 off, matching the lowest price we've ever seen for Apple's newest and most advanced buds. The Pro 3 offer fantastic ANC, upgraded sound, and a bunch of clever health features that make them a standout. If you're shopping with a tighter budget, don't skip the AirPods 4, which are on sale for $80 at Walmart. They were even cheaper last week, at just $69, but that's still an excellent discount. The entry-level AirPods 4 lack noise cancellation, but still offer the effortless pairing and iconic design that make AirPods so popular in the first place.

Cyber Monday AirPods FAQs

Is Cyber Monday a good time to buy AirPods?

Absolutely. Cyber Monday reliably offers some of the steepest AirPods discounts of the entire holiday season, often matching the lowest prices we see throughout the year. Apple rarely runs direct sales, so retailers step in with big markdowns, not just on AirPods, but also on iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches. If you're hoping to upgrade your Apple gear without paying full price, Cyber Monday is about as good as it gets. You can find more discounts in our guide to the best Cyber Monday Apple deals.

Which AirPods should you buy?

It depends on how you like your earbuds to fit and what features you care about most, but here's a quick cheat sheet:

AirPods 4 (base model): Great for everyday listening if you prefer that classic, open-earbud feel. They don't seal your ear canal, which some people find more comfortable for long stretches. You skip noise cancellation at this price, but you still get quick pairing, solid sound, and Siri support.

AirPods 4 with ANC: A small price jump adds active noise cancellation and a wireless charging case, making them a nice middle ground between the base AirPods and the Pro line. If you want quieter commutes without going full in-ear, these strike a sweet balance.

AirPods Pro 3: These are the "treat yourself" option — sealed in-ear design, upgraded audio, and some of the best noise cancellation you'll find in earbuds. The latest generation also brings heart-rate tracking and advanced hearing aid features that only Apple offers. If you want the best all-around AirPods experience, this is it.

AirPods Pro 2 (previous gen): Still floating around on sale, and a great value when discounted deeply. They're very close in sound and ANC quality to the Pro 3, just missing some of the newest heart-tracking features and battery improvements.

AirPods Max: Apple's premium over-ear headphones. Big drivers, plush materials, and incredibly powerful ANC make them a favorite for travelers and audio perfectionists. They're often pricey, but Cyber Monday usually brings some rare savings.

What is noise cancellation?

Noise cancellation (often shortened to ANC) is a clever bit of audio tech that fights unwanted background sound. Tiny microphones pick up noise around you — think airplane hum, bus engines, office chatter — and the earbuds generate an opposite sound wave to neutralize it before it hits your ears.

ANC won't give you total silence, especially with sharp or sudden noises, but it can make loud environments sound dramatically quieter.
