Apple’s AirPods Pro, which are about to receive significant hearing health features, can be had at a great price, but there are also excellent options from Sony, Bose, Samsung (like the Buds 3 Pro I just reviewed), Sennheiser, and other mainstays in this category. If you want to take out the guesswork, check out our best earbuds buying guide, and you’ll find that many of my favorite picks are available at tempting prices.
Apple / Beats
Apple AirPods Pro (second-gen) with USB-C charging case
$150$24940% off
$150
The second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls. They also now ship with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning.
- The Beats Studio Pro noise-canceling headphones are matching their Black Friday price of $169.99 (a pretty massive $180 off) at both Amazon and Best Buy. If you don’t mind a slightly dated design, they’re a very cost-effective way into some solid ANC headphones that work great on both iOS and Android ecosystems, and they also feature a very good transparency mode.

Beats Fit Pro
$90$20055% off
$90
The Beats Fit Pro earbuds have integrated wing tips that help keep them secure during runs and workouts. They also have excellent noise cancellation, and their sound has just the right amount of bass and kick to keep you motivated.
Beats Solo 4
$98$20051% off
$98
With lossless USB-C audio, 50 hours of battery life, Find My support, spatial audio, and comfy ear cups, the Beats Solo 4 gained significant quality-of-life improvements over their eight-year-old predecessors. They still deliver that bass-rich Beats sound, too. Read our review.
Sony
Sony WF-1000XM5
$228$30024% off
$228
Sony’s flagship WF-1000XM5 noise-canceling earbuds improve upon the previous model with richer sound quality, slightly more powerful ANC, and vastly improved comfort thanks to their reduced size and weight.
Sony WH-1000XM5
$298$39825% off
$298
With improved comfort, refined sound, and even better active noise cancellation, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 offer a compelling mix of features for the price.
Bose

$230
With dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

$279
Bose’s first-gen flagships are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 that offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around.
Samsung

- Amazon is selling Jabra’s semi-open Elite 10 Gen 2 earbuds for a new low of $199.99 ($80 off). Jabra may be exiting the consumer earbud space, but this swan song is one of its most advanced. They pack noise cancellation, physical buttons, and multipoint, but their real selling point is the included LE Audio charging case, which lets you wirelessly transmit audio from an external device.
Sennheiser Momentum Sport
$200$33039% off
$200
Sennheiser’s Momentum Sport earbuds mix good sound quality and noise cancellation with fitness tracking thanks to an integrated heart rate sensor. They can free up your wrists from fitness band duty while exercising, which is especially helpful for those with tattoos that block the optical sensors of a wearable.
