Earbud Deals
If you’re willing to live without active noise-cancellation, these Soundcore by Anker P20i buds are fantastic value for money. Offering 10mm drivers for impressive “big” bass, along with Bluetooth 5.3, 30-hour battery life, water-resistance, 22 preset EQs and in-app customisation, which is great for this price.
Flex Wireless: was $69 now $45
While they aren’t technicallytrue wireless, on account of the wire that connects the buds, the Flex are a great pair of fitness earbuds. They’re super comfortable thanks to their lightweight, and this $24 saving is a solid discount.View Deal
The AirPods 4 are about as barebones as AirPods come, but they’re still packed with features. Spatial Audio is on board for example, something you’d have to pay more for on the old model. 5 hours of battery isn’t the very best, but they’re a great on boarding place for the AirPods line.View Deal
The Beats Studio Buds are a wonderful little pair of buds, with some big improvements over the last model. 9 hours of battery life is exemplary, extended to 36 hours with the charging case, and they’re some of the most comfortable wireless in-ears around. In our Beats Studio Buds Plus review, we gave them 4 stars thanks to their great design and sound.View Deal
The AirPods Pro 3 bring the heat with 10 hours of battery life, improved sound, and superior active noise canceling. In our AirPods Pro 3 review we said the Editor’s Choice buds deliver the upgrade iPhone users have been waiting for with improved battery life, stronger noise cancellation, and smart new features like Live Translation, which delivers real-time translations to your ears. View Deal
The Powerbeats Pro are a solid pair of Apple wireless fitness earbuds. They have a seamless setup, just like AirPods, and good battery life. The earbuds themselves can play music for 9 hours, and the charging case adds an additional 18 hours. If you have an iPhone and need earbuds for your workout, these are a great pick — not that they aren’t great for Android, too.View Deal
Ultra Open Earbuds: was $299 now $216
The Bose Ultra Open perfected the open earbud formula. They have a comfortable, non-invasive fit, solid battery life, and they sound better than you might expect from open buds. They got 4 stars in our review, where we loved their simple controls and surprising lack of sound leakage. View Deal
WF-1000XM5: was $329 now $248
These are some of the best buds that you can buy right now. They sound excellent, with some wickedly detailed sound with plenty of low-end grunt, and feature a very comfortable fit. We gave them 4.5 stars in our review because of their great ANC, which manages to block out almost any noise you could throw at them. This isn’t quite their lowest price ever, but it’s very close.View Deal
Headphone Deals
Our Sony WH-CH520 headphones review said these headphones “deliver on battery life and performance.” They’re 360 Reality Audio compatible for more 3D sound and you can customize EQ in the Sony Headphones app. Although there’s no active noise cancelling function, they have built-in mics for hands-free voice and video calls and noise suppression processing to keep your voice sounding clear in noisy environments. They’re also rated for up to 50 hours of battery life.View Deal
Tune 720BT: was $89 now $59
These budget cans pack in more features, although you’ll miss out on the ANC you’ll get with some of the other options on this list. Still, these headphones have a massive 76 hour battery, so they’ll last you for a long, long time. Thick cushioning provides a comfortable fit for long periods of wear.View Deal
The Beats Solo 4 might not feature noise canceling, but they make up for it by sounding pretty good. They’re comfortable as well thanks to Beats new foam, and they fold up super small so that they can fit into any bag. There’s also loads of battery life — 50 hours, to be exact.View Deal
The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There’s also Spatial Audio support and Beats’ signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers. Originally priced at $349, they’ve now on sale for over half off.View Deal
WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $248
The XM5s are Sony’s premium noise-canceling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancelation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off.View Deal
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones get you epic ANC, super sound, and the most comfortable fit this side of wrapping your head in a snood that plays music. 24 hours of battery life isn’t the best, but they make up for it with just about everything else.View Deal
The AirPods Max 2 are Apple’s latest flagship over-ears, with hi-res audio playbacktures like Live Translation, intuitive controls, and a sleek, iconic design.View Deal
