Best Black Friday Headphone Deals

AirPods 2: $100

Save $50

Sarah Tew/CNET

Amazon has the AirPods 2 marked down to just $100, but the extra discount only shows when you add them to your cart. (This is shown on Amazon as "Save $15 at checkout.") This is $60 less than Apple has them available for right now, and is one of the lowest prices we have seen for the AirPods (aside from a brief drop to $90 during an early Walmart Black Friday deal). The AirPods Pro deal has ended at most retailers, so be sure to grab this before the same thing happens.

Best Black Friday Wearable Deals

Apple Watch SE: $220

Save $60

Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET

The Apple Watch SE is seeing its first price-drops ever this Black Friday shopping season. The $220 price is for the 40mm mode, but the 44mm model is $60 off as well (selling for $250). These watches come in lots of cool color combinations, but are selling out quickly (some colors are already gone), so we recommend moving fast on this deal.
