Early Black Friday kitchen deals from Ninja, DeLonghi, and Viking are already live

Black Friday approaches on November 27, but headphones deals, including AirPods, are already making their way ahead of the holiday. While no official sale dates have been confirmed yet, Black Friday-premiered deals are already in the works: AirPods Max 2 are discounted by $100, while AirPods 4 and Pro 3 have price reductions as well. To navigate your AirPods shopping during the holiday season, here are the best deals currently available:

1. The AirPods Max 2 can be purchased for $449 at Amazon, down from $549, offering a $100 savings. Despite not being Mashable's favorite headphones, they boast an attractive design, are ideal for Apple users, and provide solid sound quality and noise cancellation. With weeks left until Black Friday, this deal is particularly impressive, though it is currently only available for the blue and purple AirPods.

2. Apple AirPods 4 are discounted from $129 to $99, saving $30. Additionally, the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation can be yours for $119.97, down from $129, with savings of $59.04.

3. Apple AirPods Pro 3 carry a price reduction from $249 to $199, marking a $50 discount.

However, there are still some AirPods deals worth waiting for:

1. The anticipated AirPods 5 haven't gone on sale yet. While the cheaper model saw a slight price drop in September, the $149 wireless charging variant has yet to experience any price reduction. Given that these are Apple's most affordable earbuds at full price, we hope to see a more substantial price drop as Black Friday nears.

2. Regarding the AirPods Pro 3, they are indeed on sale, but at $199, they may not be the best price point available. Earlier this year, they were as low as $169, so it's possible that $199 could be improved.
