A solid pair of headphones can completely change how you listen to music. Good headphones allow you to hear the music as it was meant to be heard, covering the entire frequency spectrum. These days, good headphones go a step further than that too, offering things like noise cancellation, pairing with multiple devices, and so on. That’s why we’ve put together this guide on the best headphone deals — allowing you to find the perfect pair of headphones for your needs.

Of course, there are tons of things to keep in mind when buying a pair of headphones. For starters, you’ll want to think about whether you want a pair of over-ear, on-ear, or in-ear headphones. If you’re looking for a pair of headphones for travel, for example, you’ll probably want a pair of over-ear headphones. If you want some day-to-day earbuds, then in-ear headphones may be the way to go.

Without further ado, here are the best headphone deals we can find right now.

Best over-ear headphone deals

Over-ear headphones are perfect for travel, to be sure, but many (including me) use them for most day-to-day use too. If you are looking for a pair of headphones that you might use for travel, then you’ll want some that also have noise cancellation too.

Note, we’ll separate gaming headsets into their own category, even though they’re usually over-ear headphones too.

AirPods Max

The AirPods Max are the perfect pair of over-ear headphones for those in Apple’s ecosystem. They boast excellent noise cancellation tech, plus Apple-specific features like Automatic Switching and Spatial Audio. And, they work great with all of your favorite Apple devices, including the Apple TV. They really make great TV headphones.

Bose SoundLink Headphones II

The Bose QuietComfort series are among the best out there — but even Bose’s cheaper headphones still sound great. The Bose SoundLink Headphones II over a comfortable and lightweight design, a decent battery life, and more. They don’t offer noise cancellation, but not everyone needs it — and if that’s you, these are a great choice.
