The fourth-gen AirPods are out now — with slight audio quality and comfort improvements, plus the option to get them with active noise cancellation and a wireless charging case bearing its own speaker — but the third-gen AirPods are still rock solid for routine music,

It’s that time of year when early Black Friday deals are really heating up. One such example is Walmart's early sale where you can get the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) for $94 (was $169). These were my favorite earphones for a long time until I decided to upgrade to the AirPods Pro 2, but they remain earbuds that are regularly used within my household.

AirPods Pro are some of the most sought-after earbuds on the market, and this sale makes them a lot more attainable. While these beloved 'buds sometimes dip below $170, it's rare. (If Pros are still too rich for your blood, check out our comprehensive review of AirPods Pro alternatives under $100 — there's something for everyone.)
