Black Friday is officially here, and if you need Apple AirPods, they are currently discounting a handful of models. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 is currently 38% off, while the Apple AirPods Max is currently 27% off.
Apple AirPods Pro 2
4.6-star average rating from 11,012 reviews on Amazon
Several NBC Select editors say Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 is one of their favorite wireless earbud options. They offer noise-canceling and transparency modes, solid sound quality and have up to six hours of listening time on a full charge. They pair seamlessly with Apple devices, too — making them a go-to for anyone with an iPhone.
Ed’s note: This product slightly increased in price since Black Friday began, but because it’s 38% off and one of our favorite products, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.
