My faithful couple AirPods Pro is probably the most used technology in my life – and that means a lot to a technology editor!

Because they have a fantastic combination of features, including active noise cancellation, an effective transparency mode, rich and detailed sound quality, hands-free access to Siri, and a comfortable all-day fit, they go with me almost everywhere.

They’re among the most popular headphones around for good reason: their sound is crisp and clear, and they offer the best noise cancellation and transparency of any wireless headphones you can buy. It’s unusual to see Apple deals during Black Friday, so I’m surprised they’ve dropped back to their lowest price ever for Black Friday 2024, shortly after they were last seen during Amazon’s Prime event in October were on offer. They’re currently down to £179, a 22% price cut over Apple’s flagship headphones.

I’d buy them while supplies last – they’re unlikely to come back at such a low price until the next time there’s a big sales extravaganza!
