Cyber Monday is over but Apple, Sony and Bose headphone deals are still live

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. With Bose’s industry-leading noise-canceling tech, they’re perfect for shutting out distractions — ideal for everything from a long flight to some peace and quiet at home. Bose is known for its balanced, rich sound, delivering deep bass and clear highs that make any playlist shine. Plus, they’re built for both durability and comfort, with plush ear cushions and a fit that’s easy on the ears, even during long listening sessions. You’ll get up to 24 hours of battery life, with quick charging for when you’re in a pinch. Add in Bluetooth connectivity and intuitive touch controls and these headphones are a top choice.

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. Take everything you love about the Bose QuietComfort — industry-leading noise cancellation, ergonomic design and incredible sound quality — and turn it up to 11. Your music won’t just sound like it’s coming from the headphones; it’ll feel like it’s all around you, fully enveloping you wherever you are, whether on a plane, train or in your very own listening room (I’ve always wanted a listening room).

These over-the-ears feature 22 hours of playback with ANC on and a whopping 40 hours of playback with it off. Forget to charge them? No problem. With the Fast Fuel feature, a 10-minute charge gives you 3 hours of playback.

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.

Rain or sweat, these water-resistant earbuds will keep your favorite playlist or podcast going strong during your next run or workout. Even better? They’re just $20 this Cyber Monday — easy on your ears and your wallet.

Love bass that hits like you’re front row at a concert? These bring that punchy JBL Pure Bass sound straight to your ears, minus the wires — all for just $25. With 40 hours of battery life (and a quick five-minute charge for two extra hours), these are perfect for all-day jams. Plus, they can switch between two devices, so you won’t miss a call while vibing to your playlist.

These cans come with a whopping 50 hours of battery life that will keep you rocking out over a long weekend. There’s a built-in mic for clear call quality, and you can choose from four colors — white, black, blue and Cappuccino. This current Cyber Monday price matches their all-time low.

As one fan put it, “The first thing I love about the headphones is the comfort. … Second, they charge crazy fast! … Thirdly, the sound quality is amazing.” Talk about a triple threat!

These inexpensive JBL over-the-ears may not have active noise cancellation, but they do get 76 hours of playback from only two hours of charging time, which means you’ll be able to listen for days without worrying about them cutting out. Taking them on a plane? Plus right into the in-flight screen, thanks to a 3.9-foot audio cable.

Hybrid active noise cancelling and up to 60 hours of playback, all for under $40? That’s hard to beat (Beats?).

These earbuds have been my go-to for everything from trail running in the mountains to gym sessions and catching up on my latest podcasts while doing dishes. With adaptive noise cancellation that cuts out up to 98% of background noise, they’re perfect for staying in the zone wherever I am. The battery life is incredible — up to 10 hours on a single charge and a whopping 50 hours with the case. They deliver high-quality sound that keeps me motivated, and the comfortable fit means they stay put through any activity.

My favorite feature? The lighting fast charging — a quick 10-minute charge gives me four hours of listening time, so I never have to worry about forgetting to plug them in overnight.

Wired headphones? In 2024? Yes. If you want to edit videos, podcasts or music, these Sony monitors are hard to beat. I’ve had mine for over a decade and while some of the plastic on the foam has flaked off in that time, They have far and away been the best headphones for editing audio I’ve ever had.

These headphones deliver high-quality audio in a lightweight, over-ear design that feels as good as it sounds. With powerful 30mm drivers and Bluetooth 5.3, you can expect crisp mids, punchy bass and an impressive range on all your favorite tracks. The intuitive touch controls and long-lasting battery make these ideal for all-day wear, whether you’re at the office, hitting the gym or lounging on the couch at home.

These Sony headphones aren’t just any old pair of cans — they’re the No. 1 bestselling over-ear headphones on Amazon. With top-tier noise-cancelling tech, they let you block out the world and dive into your music, podcasts or calls with clarity.

They boast a solid 30 hours of battery life as well as quick charging (a 10-minute charge will get you five hours of playback), so you won’t be hunting for an outlet mid-listen. And with touch-sensor controls, adjusting volume or skipping tracks is as easy as a tap.

Equipped with 360 Spatial Sound and top-notch noise cancellation, these headphones are all about immersion, whether you’re dodging fire or simply exploring an open world. With 32 hours of battery and a clear boom mic, you’re set for any marathon gaming session.

These open earbuds bring a fresh twist to wireless audio with an open-ear design that keeps you connected to your surroundings — ideal for runners and outdoor enthusiasts. Despite the no-tip design, they deliver rich sound, while the comfortable fit makes them perfect for all-day wear. They’re built to withstand sweat and rain, so workouts and unexpected weather are no problem. Plus, the battery life is a solid seven hours, ensuring they last through your day. If you’re looking for earbuds that deliver quality sound without shutting out the world, these are the ones for you.

These are Sony’s crown jewel of noise-cancelling headphones. Built with dual processors and eight microphones, they create a near-silent bubble so you can fully immerse yourself in your tunes, podcasts, audiobooks or TV shows. With a lightweight, ergonomic design, these headphones offer plush comfort and a whopping 30 hours of battery life. Plus, with Adaptive Sound Control and Sony’s signature DSEE Extreme, you’ll get sound tailored to your environment and audio that’s richer than ever.
