Did you grab your share of Black Friday headphones savings? If not, you missed out on some solid deals! This year's event brought impressive discounts on headphones from top brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, Beats by Dre, Sony, JBL, Jabra, Sennheiser, and many more.

Apple shoppers snagged a sweet $100 discount on the AirPods Pro 2, while Samsung enthusiasts scored big with a 47% price cut on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro! And the deals didn't stop there – premium picks like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Beats Studio Pro also saw hefty markdowns, slashing $100 and $190 off their prices, respectively.

Black Friday deals on Apple AirPods

Apple's earbuds are known for their seamless integration with iDevices, but they often come with a hefty price tag. However, Black Friday brought some solid discounts across different AirPods models.

While the latest AirPods 4 didn't see a huge price drop, it was still available for 10% off. The AirPods Max, on the other hand, saw a significant price cut with a 27% discount! The AirPods Pro 2 scored an even better deal, with a generous 38% off – a solid offer that we don't see often.

Black Friday deals on Samsung Galaxy Buds

Samsung's earbuds definitely outshone Apple's in terms of discounts this Black Friday. The newly launched Galaxy Buds 3 series, including the standard Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, saw up to 25% off. The FE model, in particular, had an incredible 42% discount on the final day of the event.

For those who preferred the classic style of the Galaxy Buds 2, there were even bigger savings to be had. The Galaxy Buds Pro 2 was one of the standout deals, with a hefty 45% off!

Black Friday deals on Pixel Buds

The Pixel Buds were a must-have this Black Friday for anyone looking to enhance their Pixel experience. The latest Pro model saw a solid $50 off, while the previous generation offered an even better deal with a 27% discount.

For those on a tighter budget, the Pixel Buds A-Series was the perfect option, with a huge 51% off, making them more affordable than ever.

Black Friday deals on Bose, Beats, Sennheiser, JBL and others

Black Friday proved that there's a whole world of wireless headphones beyond just AirPods and Galaxy Buds, and this year, other options came with some serious discounts. With amazing deals across multiple brands, it was the perfect time to grab the headphones you wanted before the event ended!

Bose, a major name in the headphones game, especially for noise-canceling options, had its QuietComfort models marked down by around $100, a deal too good to miss.

Sennheiser also brought massive savings, with $150 off their top-tier wireless headphones. And Beats didn't disappoint either – shoppers could snag the premium Beats Studio Pro for $190 less than usual!

Black Friday deals on Sony headphones

Black Friday brought discounts of up to 45% across various Sony headphone models. The Sony WH-1000XM5, for instance, was going for a solid 25% off. With so many Sony headphones on sale, there was a deal for everyone, no matter what kind of headphones you were after.

Which wireless headphones to buy on Black Friday?

You can absolutely strike deals on Apple's AirPods or Samsung's Galaxy Buds – both brands are excellent, but it all depends on which ecosystem you are in. iDevice users will get the most out of the AirPods, as they seamlessly switch through your various devices that are logged into the same iCloud account. Galaxy Buds will very easily connect to a Galaxy phone (but work well with any other mobile, really).

Sony's buds and headphones offer their own 360 Reality Audio, which functions and sounds like Apple Spatial Audio. Furthermore, Sony earphones are praised for fantastic noise-cancelation and pass-through options.

The Sennheiser offers are amazing for those that demand quality from a company with a long history in making audio products.

Are Black Friday headphone deals worth it?

Absolutely – we saw some pricey models drop by half, which is quite a lot when the MSRP of the headset is around the $400 mark. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, for example, also fell well below $115, which makes them an insta-buy in our minds. A disciplined trigger finger is sure to net you a good deal during the Black Friday events, especially on headphones!

Where to find the best headphone deals on Black Friday?

Major retailers are your best bet – they have lots of stock and huge drawing power, thus they are capable of reducing prices the most. In fact, they kind of have to in order to compete with the other big sellers.

So, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart are go-to options. Then, Target, Newegg, B&H Photo and Video – these probably won't have an exclusive deal, but they will almost match the discounts from the big players. If you are shopping for something from one specific store, you might as well fill up your cart and only pay for (and deal with) shipping once.
