If you’re going to upgrade your earbud game, might as well get some coin to do it. These Galaxy Buds 3 Pro feature everything from noise-cancellation to real-time interpreter, something I only imagined I’d see in a Mission Impossible film, never in a pair of under-$200 earbuds. With this deal you also get a $20 Amazon gift card to either throw in a loved ones stocking or spend on yourself.
If you love all things Apple, these are the earbuds you want. The AirPods Pro 2 take everything great about the originals and add improved sound quality, active noise cancellation and a more comfortable fit. They’re perfect for staying immersed in music or taking calls on the go, with a battery that gives you up to six hours of listening time per charge — and up to 30 hours with the charging case.
Plus, they’re dust, sweat and water resistant, so no worries about getting caught in a downpour during your morning run. Seamless connection with all your Apple devices makes switching between your iPhone, iPad and Mac a breeze. For Apple fans, they’re a must-have upgrade.

These updated earbuds are a solid choice at $129, especially if you’re after stellar noise cancellation and longer battery life — plus, they throw in wireless charging, which the pricier QC Earbuds II skip.
While the QC II earbuds are smaller and pack a few extra adaptive features, the 2024 version holds its own, delivering premium Bose sound without the premium price tag. If you’re cool with a slightly bigger design, these might be the smarter buy.

These Bose earbuds are like having your own personal soundstage, no matter where you are. With Bose’s top-notch noise-cancelling tech, these earbuds let you tune out distractions and focus on your playlist, podcast or phone call.
They offer customizable sound settings so you can personalize your listening experience, up to six hours of battery life and a case that provides quick recharges on the go.
These headphones pack some serious perks into a sleek, comfortable design.

For $15, these Baseus earbuds deliver excellent noise cancellation — perfect for keeping you focused, whether you’re on a plane or at the office. They’re small and lightweight, making them comfortable for extended use. Plus, with up to 140 hours of total battery life (with the case) — and quick charging that gives you an hour of playtime from just a three-minute charge — these earbuds are a steal right now.
There’s a reason our own tech guru Rick Broida named them the best budget wireless earbuds out there. They’re just that good.
If you’re after the absolute best listening experience, these are the Bose headphones for you.

Want the newest AirPods out there without the high price tag of the ANC version? These are the buds for you. While you’re going without the noise-cancellation and Transparency Mode features, they’re no slouch, these ultra-comfortable, lightweight earbuds feature up to 5 hours of listening time on a single charge, with the charging case adding up to 25 additional hours of total listening time.
Do you prefer a more open-ear design without silicone earbuds but still want ANC? These AirPods 4 are for you. Personally, I find the open-ear design more comfortable, though you do sacrifice a bit in the noise-cancellation department compared to the AirPods Pro 2, which have silicone tips to fully isolate you from your surroundings. That said, the AirPods 4 allow you to remain aware of your surroundings during runs, walks or your commute.
Broida describes the ANC as “surprisingly effective,” saying it’s “at least 80% as good as it is on the AirPods Pros.” AirPods 4 with ANC also share the Pros’ H2 chip, spatial audio, Personalized Volume, Conversation Awareness, Head Gestures and wireless charging case with speaker, to name just a few features.
If you’re all in on Apple and want something better than the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods Max deliver in a big way. These over-ear headphones pack a serious punch with spatial audio, giving listeners a fully immersive sound that feels like they’re right in the middle of the action.
Active noise cancellation keeps out distractions, but when you need to stay aware, just switch to Transparency mode. With up to 20 hours of battery life and plush memory foam ear cushions, these are built for comfort and long listening sessions, buyers say. And, just like with the AirPods Pro 2, switching between devices is smooth and seamless.
This isn’t a pair of headphones, but for those of us who love our wireless lifestyle as much as we love to travel, this Bluetooth transmitter is a game-changer. Instead of lugging around a second pair of wired headphones just to plug into the in-flight entertainment system, you can pack lighter and enjoy your trusty AirPods Pro to drown out the engine noise.
Want to share an in-flight movie with your travel partner? This transmitter works with up to two headphones, so you’ll have no issues there.
