Best AirPods
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 1, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: AirPods Pro 3 — the newest Pro model, and the one to buy if you want the best of everything: top-rated noise cancelling, the strongest dust/water rating (IP57) and the most praise for sound and mics. Best for iPhone owners who fly, commute or work in noisy rooms.
Who the others suit:
- AirPods 4 with ANC — the open-fit choice: no silicone tips, still real noise cancelling, lighter in the ear.
- AirPods 4 (plain) — same fit and H2 chip, no ANC; fine for quiet offices and calls.
- AirPods Pro 2 — still excellent ANC, a sensible pick if you find the Pro 3 overkill.
- AirPods 5 / AirPods (3rd gen) — cheaper everyday listening if ANC isn't a must.
Skip the older Lightning-case and 2019 models: they're the previous generations.
