As November gets underway, we draw ever closer to Black Friday. There are already loads of great deals out there on a range of different products, but I'm most interested in the sales you can find on the best wireless earbuds.

I've spent a great deal of time tracking earbuds prices, so I know what they've been, what they are, and I can make educated guesses as to what they might be. I know what earbuds will suit a range of different use cases — so if you're looking for a new pair of buds, you're in the right place.

There are some great deals out there at the moment. There's $50 off the AirPods Pro 2 at Amazon, for example. That's not quite the lowest price, but it's still a great saving. There's also $40 off the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3 at Amazon for Samsung fans and Galaxy users.

These are the best earbuds deals before Black Friday has even begun.

The best early Black Friday earbuds deals

Soundcore P20i: was $39 now $24 @ Amazon

Soundcore P20i: was $39 now $24 @ Amazon
These might not be the shiniest pair of earbuds on the list, but they're a great way to get some wireless buds in your pocket without spending loads of money. They're tiny too so they'll fit almost anywhere.

Beats Flex Wireless earbuds: was $69 now $49 @ Amazon

Beats Flex Wireless earbuds: was $69 now $49 @ Amazon

While they aren't technically true wireless, on account of the wire that connects the buds, the Flex are a great pair of fitness earbuds. They're super comfortable thanks to their lightweight, and this $20 saving is a solid discount.

Samsung Galaxy Buds FE: was $99 now $79 @ Best Buy

Samsung Galaxy Buds FE: was $99 now $79 @ Best Buy
Samsung's budget noise-canceling buds are a solid pair for the price, with a truly tiny case and some pretty good noise canceling. They're not quite as special as Samsungs more expensive buds Pro, but they're less than half the price. $20 off is a decent discount too.

Beats Studio Buds: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon

Beats Studio Buds: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon
The Beats Studio Buds might not be the current version of Beats noise-canceling buds, but they’re still a great option. I particularly like the color options of the Studio Buds, but they also sound pretty good as well. Noise canceling isn’t anything to write home about, but it's more than good enough for a sub-$100 pair of earbuds — which this deal makes them.

AirPods 4: was $129 now $119 @ Amazon

AirPods 4: was $129 now $119 @ Amazon
The AirPods 4 are the newest buds in the AirPods family. This is the non-ANC version, so you don't get find my or noise canceling. You do get a more comfortable fit, and improved sound quality, however. This price might not seem like a massive discount, but they've only been on sale for about a month.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2: was $199 now $109 @ Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2: was $199 now $109 @ Amazon
Samsung’s previous generation of wireless earbuds also have a massive discount going on at the moment, which makes them a must-buy for Galaxy smartphone owners. They’re a very comfortable pair of earbuds, and while some of their features are Galaxy device only, they’re a solid earbud pick. This is the lowest price they’ve ever been, so you should be quick if you want to pick a pair up.

Sennheiser Momentum 3: was $279 now $137 @ Amazon

Sennheiser Momentum 3: was $279 now $137 @ Amazon
Sennheiser's in-ears are a great pair of buds. They sound pretty spectacular thanks to Sennheisers mountains of audio experience, and they have a very comfortable fit. The case is a little large, but you get 28 hours of battery to make up for it. This is close to the lowest price they've ever been.

Sony LinkBuds S: was $199 now $158 @ Walmart

Sony LinkBuds S: was $199 now $158 @ Walmart
Bringing some of the best XM5 features to a lower price point, the tiny LinkBuds S are a very comfortable pair of earbuds. The noise canceling isn’t quite as good as the more expensive options (as you might expect), but they have great sound quality and a relatively comfortable fit. Battery life is reasonable as well at 6 hours. This isn’t the lowest price ever, but it’s still a respectable discount.

Beats Powerbeats Pro: was $199 now $159 @ Best Buy

Beats Powerbeats Pro: was $199 now $159 @ Best Buy
With the same chip as the AirPods Pro, the Beats Powerbeats Pro are a securely fitting pair of buds with some good noise canceling. They sound pretty good too, although some might not like their bassier sound. This isn't the lowest price we've seen them, but it's a good deal nonetheless.

JBL Tour Pro 2: was $249 now $179 @ Amazon

JBL Tour Pro 2: was $249 now $179 @ Amazon
Screens on earbuds charging cases are becoming more and more common, although JBL was the first company to make them available. The screen tells you the battery level, lets you choose ANC modes, and check other settings without having to pull your phone out of your pocket. They also sound really good, and they fit really nicely in the ear. This deal is only on the black colorway, so double-check before you add them to your basket.

AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon

AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
I still love my AirPods Pro 2, and while they’re not quite as good at ANC as Bose or sound as good as Sony, they’re still the best jack of all trades. They block plenty of noise, and the sound profile is nice and neutral. I think the best bit is the force-sensitive panels on the stalks, which avoid annoying mispresses and accidental track skipping. This isn’t their lowest price, but it’s still a good deal on one of my favorite pairs of earbuds.

Sennheiser ACCENTUM: was $199 now $129 @ Amazon

Sennheiser ACCENTUM: was $199 now $129 @ Amazon
While not quite as impressive as the top of the line Momentum 3, the Accentum buds bring some great features to a slightly lower price. They have the classic, detailed, Sennheiser sound, and the case gives you 28 hours of battery life for improved staying power. This is the lowest price we've ever seen on these buds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: was $249 now $219 @ Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: was $249 now $219 @ Amazon
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro haven’t been out all that long and they’ve already got a solid discount. This is actually their lowest price ever. They’re built around Samsung’s AI tech, which makes Bixby and other features even smarter. There are some features that are only available on Galaxy devices, but there’s plenty to enjoy for everyone else as well.

Sony WF-1000XM5: was $279 now $221 @ Walmart

Sony WF-1000XM5: was $279 now $221 @ Walmart
The Sony WF-1000XM5 are still the best pair of earbuds that money can buy under $300. Their noise canceling is almost completely unbeatable, and the sound is amongst the very best in a pair of earbuds. This deal might not bring them to their lowest price ever, but it’s the best price you’ll find right now.
