Walmart launched even cheaper prices for AirPods Pro ($159) later in the day — and Amazon has since matched the deal. In October, Apple announced that new versions of AirPods Pro would feature MagSafe capability — meaning the wireless earbuds could be magnetically attached to a MagSafe device for quick easy recharging. Apple rarely offers big discounts (or any discounts) on new gadgets, but the new AirPods Pro — which received only a minor upgrade, to be honest — have been available for most of November for [around $190](https://money.com/airpods-pro-deals-early-black-friday-2021/), or $60 off. As of the morning of Monday, Nov. 22, however, Amazon knocked the [sale price for AirPods Pro](https://money.com/pr/x2d75ec391ad?durl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB09JQMJHXY%3F%26linkCode%3Dll1%26tag%3Dmoney-art-142-20%26linkId%3D5ae3b367eabf221a1a968b1fed14ada0%26language%3Den_US%26ref_%3Das_li_ss_tl&ca_referer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F&ap_referrer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F) down further, to $169.99. That essentially matches the best AirPods Pro deal we've ever seen, since the older version was [on sale for $169](https://money.com/best-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2020/) around Thanksgiving and Black Friday last year. Before you buy anything, however, take note that AirPods Pro prices are even cheaper than that. Walmart has been rolling out [new Black Friday deals](https://money.com/best-black-friday-deals-walmart-2021/) once a week or so since the beginning of November, and AirPods Pros went on sale for [just $159](https://money.com/pr/vd443caff9c9?durl=https%3A%2F%2Fgoto.walmart.com%2Fc%2F137710%2F565706%2F9383%3Fveh%3Daff%26sourceid%3Dimp_000011112222333344%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252FAirPods-Pro%252F975690481&ca_referer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F&ap_referrer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F) later in the day on Monday, Nov. 22. And as of midday on Tuesday, Nov. 23, Amazon has matched the deal — so you can buy [AirPods Pro for $159](https://money.com/pr/x2d75ec391ad?durl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB09JQMJHXY%3F%26linkCode%3Dll1%26tag%3Dmoney-art-142-20%26linkId%3D5ae3b367eabf221a1a968b1fed14ada0%26language%3Den_US%26ref_%3Das_li_ss_tl&ca_referer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F&ap_referrer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F) there too. All shoppers could get that sale price at Walmart's website as of 7 p.m. ET on Monday, while paying members of the Walmart+ subscription program got access to the deal four hours earlier. It's also worth paying attention to Amazon when Walmart's AirPods deal goes live — because Amazon traditionally matches the sale prices of competitors, most notably Walmart. Apple's AirPods Pros have generally been considered the [best earbuds](https://money.com/best-headphones/) you can buy for comfort, sound and overall quality since they launched in 2019. However, depending on your preferences, some say that Sony's WM1000XM4, [Beats Fit Pro](https://money.com/pr/x2d75ec391ad?durl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBeats-Fit-Pro-Cancelling-Built%2Fdp%2FB09JL41N9C%3F%26linkCode%3Dll1%26tag%3Dmoney-art-142-20%26linkId%3D12b056240fb3e3eb858868a81eba89d2%26language%3Den_US%26ref_%3Das_li_ss_tl&ca_referer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F&ap_referrer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F) or [Bose QuietComfort](https://money.com/pr/x2d75ec391ad?durl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBose-QuietComfort-Noise-Cancelling-Earbuds%2Fdp%2FB08C4KWM9T%3F%26linkCode%3Dll1%26tag%3Dmoney-art-142-20%26linkId%3Dc767f8d7a0ffc71ed5a42d0fa60ec322%26language%3Den_US%26ref_%3Das_li_ss_tl&ca_referer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F&ap_referrer=%2Fbest-airpods-pro-deal-black-friday-2021%2F) are truly the top choice when it comes to the best wireless earbuds regardless of price. (And speaking of price, expect to pay a lot for any of these buds, which retail for $200 and up, but should be available for less during [Black Friday sales](https://money.com/amazon-best-black-friday-deals-2021/).) ## Black Friday's best AirPods deals Amazon's AirPods Pro deal is not the only great discount on AirPods this week.
