by UPDATE: November 18, 2022, 4:00 pm EST This story has been updated to include Amazon’s latest headphone and earphone deals ahead of Black Friday 2022.
Black Friday is usually a slam dunk season for those looking for deals on headphones and earphones, and this year is shaping up to be an exception. The deals on Amazon are just starting to heat up, but we expect things to get even hotter as we get closer to the big day.
There are already some standout deals, like an all-time low price on Bose SoundLink II headphones.(opens in a new tab) and the first decent discount on the second generation AirPods Pro(opens in a new tab) – but overall, headphone and earphone deals are just getting started. We’re expecting bigger savings on AirPods, Beats, Bose and more in the coming week, so keep checking back if there’s a certain pair you have in mind (Command-F is your friend).
Whether due to supply chain shortages or employee layoffs, Amazon’s free two-day shipping seems to be getting harder to come by these days. Be sure to pay attention to the estimated shipping time before checking out, so there are no surprises later.
Here’s a running list of all the headphone and earphone deals on Amazon worth checking out before Black Friday; we will update it regularly.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a cross out they were out of stock or no longer available at their asking price last time we looked. Anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.
The best Apple deals
why we like them
We really like the AirPods Max — they have best-in-class noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and spatial audio — but we like them better at a slightly less jaw-dropping price. How about a $100 discount? While it’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, Amazon had the space gray, sky blue, and silver ones on sale for just $449 at the time of writing.

The best Beats deals
(Yes, Beats has technically been a part of Apple for many years, but we’ve split them up to keep things organized.)
why we like them
With powerful bass, spatial audio, and all-day battery life, these June 2021 wireless noise-canceling headphones “put Apple’s basic AirPods to shame,” according to Alex Perry, a technology reporter for Mashable. Amazon has them listed for $99.95 at the time of writing, which is $10 less than their lowest price.

Best Bose deals
why we like them
Lightweight, comfortable, and durable (up to 15 hours on a single charge), the Bose SoundLink II headphones are a great companion for everything from commuting to exercising to working from home. The microphone system is designed to block out wind and noise, so taking a work call in a busy lunch spot shouldn’t be a problem, at least noise-wise. If you forget to charge before traveling or exercising, all is well. The quick charge feature gives you an extra two hours of listening with a 15-minute plug. At $149, these babies are already sitting at their lowest price on Amazon.
More Bose deals
The best Samsung deals
why we like them
Not to completely hoard AirPods, but Samsung’s newest Galaxy Buds are what’s more much better than Apple’s earbuds, Perry said. “Between an attractive egg-like design, excellent noise cancellation, and relatively robust app-based customization (on Android devices),” he wrote, these pups “very much deliver the goods” at an extremely reasonable price. At $99.99, they’re about $12 below their lowest price they’ve ever been, but they’re still a whopping $50 off (sorry).
