Navigating the world of headphones, especially those equipped with Active Noise Cancellation, can be tricky: they’re so numerous options from brands like Bose and Sonos, it’s easy to feel lost. However, when it comes to premium audio experiences, Apple remains a standout choice. If you’re looking to indulge yourself, now is the perfect time.

It's true that if you're shopping straight from the Apple Store, you won't see any special deals ahead of Nov. 29. On Black Friday proper, Apple is giving out gift cards up to $200 on eligible purchases of iPhones, MacBooks, AirPods, and more.

These are among Apple's most recent releases (launched in September 2024) and are also some of the most affordable AirPods you'll find. At under $120, these earbuds boast personalized audio settings, are sweat- and water-resistant and last up to 30 hours on a single charge. Did we mention they're just $1 shy of their all-time low price?
