It makes a lot of sense to start paying attention to the price of headphones at this time of year. It all makes sense to know if there is a new version of a certain pair of headphones coming out this year. The previous model discounts frequently in that instance.

Once you’ve narrowed it down to the pair that you want, you can check to see if it’s going to be discounted on the manufacturer’s website or whether you need to look at some stores. Places like Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy have some of the best headphone deals in November.

Last year’s Black Friday headphone deals

Last year, we saw AirPods Pro on sale, and this year could be the same given the fact that the second-generation AirPods Pro earbuds are available. They were under $200 at that time for the first time. People who didn’t already have them snatched them up like crazy. But that wasn’t the only pair of earbuds available during the 2020 holiday season. Apple AirPods 3 are out and you can get them now.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 are some of the best noise-cancelling headphones out there. They were marked down to just $248 a year ago at this time. Beats Solo Pro on-ear headphones are also noise-cancelling and top-notch. They were down to $169.99 last year and are at that price again right now.
