Today's best AirPods and Beats dealsīoth the AirPods Pro and AirPods 3 have very basic, yet elegant designs for wireless earbuds. Beats headphones will certainly be more readily available in this regard, and will probably feature steeper discounts.
We expect AirPods to have smaller discounts over the sales period, but are likely to sell out faster given their closer ties to the Apple ecosystem. Waiting for Black Friday is a great idea, as you're likely to net a 20 - 30% discount on AirPods, and potentially up to 50 - 60% off Beats products, as we've seen in previous years. Most of the aforementioned products are known to be discounted over the sales period, and we're already seeing early deals for both AirPods and Beats products. If these price points are still a bit out of your range, it's worth keeping an eye on the Black Friday deals. On the smaller side we have the Beats wireless earbuds, and the two we'd recommend are the Beats Studio Buds which cost $149.99 / £129.99, and the Beats PowerBeats Pro, which retail at $249 / £219. Still by no means cheap, but very worthwhile alternatives to the AirPods Max. Both are significantly more affordable than the AirPods Max, at $299.95 / £269.95 for the Solo Pro and $349 / £299 for the Studio 3. Immediately, you have two fantastic options in the form of the on-ear Beats Solo Pro and over-ear Beats Studio 3.
If you're on a tighter budget, then, or if you're not happy with the relatively slim amount of options in the AirPods lineup, then a pair of Beats might just be for you.
