Considering a speaker instead – or even a set of earbuds? I've got a best Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deals page and a best Black Friday earbuds deals roundup. If, however, you want a great set of 'don't talk to me' cans to take you through into 2025, I'd strongly advise a pair of the ones I've listed below.

Yahoo Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida describes the ANC as "surprisingly effective," saying it's "at least 80% as good as it is on the AirPods Pros." AirPods 4 with ANC also share the Pros' H2 chip, spatial audio, Personalized Volume, Conversation Awareness, Head Gestures and wireless charging case with speaker, to name just a few features.

These are the best wireless earbuds for athletes, full stop. And ahead of Black Friday, they dropped back to their lowest-ever price. For heavy sweaters who rely on high-quality audio and ANC to get in the zone, these earbuds won't let you down.
