'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

These days, active noise-canceling earbuds like AirPods Pro can feel like a necessary productivity tool, with other earbuds on the market as fierce contenders too (see the Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro). While Apple's AirPods models are usually pricey, retailers throw in small deals throughout the year. We've scoured the net to find the deals still available so you don't have to.

The best AirPods are the ones that are best suited to your needs. For example, the AirPods Pro first and second-generation earbuds are the only earbuds by Apple that are equipped with active noise-cancellation. If you are someone who needs to keep the distractions out while you work, they are 100% worth the investment.

We went looking for these deals as if we were shopping for ourselves. By using discount codes and extensions and looking through retailers' websites, we picked these as the best AirPods deals we could find for products we would all enjoy.
