With Cyber Monday now upon us, the month-long sale event is beginning to draw to a close and many of the deals we've spotted have either sold out or returned to full price already. However, luckily for fans of the Apple AirPods - as we are here at Cyclingnews - most of the AirPods deals we've spotted are still available, but given one of the deals has already sold out, we don't expect the rest will be around for long. 

For the whole weekend, between Amazon and Walmart, we've been treated to some of the best-ever prices on the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 2, and AirPods 3 models, with discounts that range from 13% to 38% off.

Unfortunately for our USA readers, Walmart sold out of the AirPods Pro 2 deal, but at the time of writing, all others remain available. 

Here are the deals in brief: 

AirPods Pro 2 

AirPods (2nd Generation)

AirPods (3rd Generation)

We can't be sure how long these deals will last though. With Cyber Monday marking the official end to the Black Friday weekend and the month-long sale that precedes it, we wouldn't recommend holding on for much longer.

In detail: Cyber Monday Apple AirPods deals

Cyber Monday AirPods Pro 2 deals

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (or 2nd Generation) wireless earbuds come equipped with USB-C charging. What we like about these earbud options is that they offer up to two times more active noise-cancelling, allowing less outside noise in, but also transparency mode, so you can hear what's going on around you. 

We find this feature useful for riding, but also in the gym or on public transport, as it means we can listen to our music without totally tuning out to the world around us.  

We also love the Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness features, which automatically lowers the volume of media or other unwanted noise so you can chat, before continuing on your way.

This isn't the best price we've seen this weekend. Walmart took that crown when it listed them at $169.00 but that price is no longer available. 

$189.99 is still the cheapest price that the Pro 2 headphones have been sold at Amazon, so it's not a bad price, but it's $20 higher than we've seen. 

If you missed the boat, then this is your current best price.

Save 13% - Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds come equipped with USB-C Charging, Up to 2X More Active Noise Cancelling, Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio, and Personalized Spatial Audio. They're far from the cheapest headphones around, but if you're after Apple's latest and greatest, this is the best price we've seen these at, and the first time we've seen them on offer in the UK since their launch. 

It's worth noting that we also covered a handful of Black Friday Shokz deals recently, whose Bone Conduction tech might appeal more to those who are prioritising the Transparency Mode tech. 

Cyber Monday AirPods 2 deals

The AirPods 2nd Gen are far from the latest model. They were replaced by the AirPods 3rd Gen (unsurprisingly) back in 2021, but they're still well renowned among iPhone users. In our experience, they offer a bombproof Bluetooth connection (they literally have never dropped connection in the two years since I bought a pair), and they have a decent battery life too.

They fit nicely (in this writer's ears, at least) without causing pressure and without falling out no matter whether I'm riding, running, or doing hiit work at the gym.

They also have Apply Find My enabled, which has helped me out of a potentially-expensive pickle on more than one occasion. 

Apple AirPods 2nd Gen:$129.99$79.99 at AmazonSave 38% -

Apple AirPods 2nd Gen: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=78475&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FApple-AirPods-Charging-Latest-Model%2Fdp%2FB07PXGQC1Q%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">$129.99 $79.99 at Amazon
Save 38% - The 2nd Gen of the base model AirPods might have a slightly less premium sound quality and come with a slightly shorter feature list compared to the Pro, but if you're after a more affordable option, they're still a great pair. 

Apple AirPods 2nd Gen: £129.00£99.00 at Amazon UKSave 23% -

Save 23% - The UK deal here isn't quite as strong, but at under £100 this is still a deal we'd recommend against the competition. This price also happens to be the cheapest we've seen for this product, albeit with the caveat that it's not the first time we've seen them at this price. 

Cyber Monday AirPods 3 deals

Apple's latest base model headphones offer impressive sound quality, an ergonomic fit and loads of cool features such as spatial audio and head-tracking, which offers surround sound no matter that moves as you do. The only thing to be aware of is the IPX4 water resistance, which is suitable for 'splashes', but might not be gread in consistent downpour or sweaty indoor rides.

Save 17% - The USA deal is the better of the two here, and according to our tools, is the lowest these have been priced since their launch in 2021. 

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen: £169.00£149.00 at Amazon UKSave 12% -

Save 12% - The UK deal here isn't quite as spicy, but it's still a worthwhile look. We've seen these at a few quid cheaper than this before, though, so we'd maybe hold fire until Cyber Monday before you commit.

Pre Owned options

Not everyone wants to spend a fortune on a new set of earbuds, even at a Cyber Monday sale price. If the Apple AirPods Pro 2 brand new options are out of your price point, consider purchasing a used pair for a much more affordable option.
