Apple may have some of the best headphones currently on the market, but they all come with fairly hefty price tags attached.

So, if you want to pick up a pair without paying full price, Black Friday is the time to buy.

The sales event is already bringing offers on Apple tech – including $61 off the Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) with Charging Case ($158, down from $219) which five-star reviewers on Google praise for being “compact” and offering “simply outsanding” sound quality.

WHERE TO FIND THE BEST BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY APPLE DEALS

The Australian Apple Store doesn’t offer direct Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, making third-party retailers the ones to watch for discounts on AirPods.

With an official Apple Store on its site, Amazon Australia is currently the best place to find deals on Apple tech, especially during major sale events.

Rival online retailer eBay Australia is also likely to drop prices on products like AirPods and iPhones for Black Friday, while retailers like The Good Guys, Vodafone, Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi are all expected to discount select products.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIRPODS MODELS?

Over the years, Apple has expanded its line to include several different AirPods models. Currently, you can choose between the AirPods (2nd Gen) with either a standard or wireless charging case, the AirPods (3rd Gen), the standard AirPods Pro, the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) or the AirPods Max.

The AirPods (2nd Gen) are the standard option from the range and arrive with a universal design, hands-free voice assistance from Siri and around five hours of battery life (or more than 24-hours with either charging case).

The AirPods (3rd Gen) are a nice step up from the (2nd Gen) model, offering a contoured design for a better fit, a wireless charging case and six hours of battery life (or up to 30-hours with the charging case).

The standard AirPods Pro feature shorter stems than the original AirPods, are more discrete in design and come in a shorter, wider charging case that is able to be charged wirelessly. They also arrive with three flexible silicone ear tip sizes, noise cancellation capabilities and up to four and a half hours of battery life (or 24-hours with the charging case).

While there’s little difference between the standard AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) in terms of features and design, the new generation comes with better audio capabilities, double the noise cancellation power, a longer battery life and more ear tips for a better fit.

The AirPods Max are the first over-ear headphones from the AirPods line and are currently some of the best wireless over-ear headphones on the market. Similar to the AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max feature both noise cancelling and a Transparency mode. According to Apple, the pair boast up to 20 hours of listening time off a single charge too, making them a great travel companion

WHICH OTHER DEALS CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THIS BLACK FRIDAY?

With thousands of stores now taking part in the Black Friday sales, you can expect to see discounts on a huge range of fashion, beauty, tech, appliances, games, household items, books, furniture, toys and more. This makes the sales a great time to shop for Christmas, or to invest in pricier items like electronics and whitegoods.
