Best wireless earbud deals

Anker Soundcore P20i
Anker Soundcore P20i: was $39 now $19 at Amazon

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.

Beats Flex Wireless
Beats Flex Wireless: was $69 now $49 at Amazon

While they aren't technically true 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 $20 saving is a solid discount.

Sony WF-C700N
Sony WF-C700N: was $119 now $78 at Amazon

The Sony WF-C700N rank as one of the best wireless earbuds we’ve tested. In our Sony WF-C700N review, we praised their excellent sound, strong noise cancellation and great call quality. They’re also lightweight and last for 7.5 hours of listening time with ANC on.

Sony WF-C710N
Sony WF-C710N: was $119 now $89 at Amazon

The Sony WF-C710N are our new choice for the best wireless earbuds under $150. They excelled in pretty much every category in our Sony WF-C710N review, delivering impressive sound, strong active noise canceling and amazing bass. Plus, their battery life lasts up to 33.5 hours with ANC off or up to 30 hours with ANC on. And their Glass Blue colorway looks amazing.

Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds: was $149 now $99 at Amazon

Amazon has slashed the price of the Beats Studio Buds. You get active noise canceling, sweat resistance and up to eight hours of listening time, or 24 hours when combined with the pocket-sized charging case. Our Beats Studio Buds review called these "a small but feature-stuffed set of wireless earbuds."

Apple AirPods 4
Apple AirPods 4: was $129 now $119 at Amazon

The AirPods 4 boast a new design, which Apple has refined with "50 million data points" to create the most comfortable AirPods ever. They also feature Apple's H2 chip, which delivers clearer calls with Voice Isolation, and a new, hands-free way to interact with Siri. The AirPods 4 also have USB-C charging and include up to 30 hours of listening time. In our AirPods 4 review, we said the Editor's Choice earbuds bring Apple's wireless earbuds lineup into the modern day with Pro-level features for less.

Beats Powerbeats Pro
Beats Powerbeats Pro: was $249 now $154 at Amazon

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.

Apple AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation)
Apple AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation): was $179 now $168 at Amazon

Our AirPods 4 review found a pair of earbuds with surprisingly effective ANC, solid sound and a comfortable open fit. Though four hours of battery life with ANC on isn't the best, these pack a more open fit than Apple's last earbuds with ANC, the AirPods Pro 2, and transparency mode is a nice extra touch.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was $279 now $249 at Amazon

If you're not a fan of over-ear designs, the QuietComfort Earbuds II bring Bose's elite-level noise cancellation tech to in-ear 'buds instead. They can withstand sweaty workouts, have head-tracking tech supporting a new Immersive Audio feature, and last up to 6 hours on a single charge. Plus, a 20-minute top-up gives you an extra 2 hours of playback.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4: was $299 now $249 at Amazon

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 Earbuds give the competition a serious run for their money. In our Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 review, we said they have well-balanced audiophile sound, class-leading aptX Lossless audio support, and effective ANC. In our best wireless earbuds rankings, they take the spot for the best mid-prices earbuds we've reviewed.

Best wireless headphone deals

JBL Tune 510BT
JBL Tune 510BT: was $49 now $31 at Amazon

A budget friendly option, these wireless headphones offer playback for up to 40 hours, and recharge in as little as 2 hours. They also have JBL Pure Bass sound. Although we haven't tested this model, they receive 4.6 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers for sound quality and value for money.

Sony WH-CH520 Headphones
Sony WH-CH520 Headphones: was $59 now $38 at Amazon

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.

Anker Soundcore Life Q20
Anker Soundcore Life Q20: was $59 now $39 at Amazon

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 aren't top-of-the-line headphones and don't pretend to be. They're just a nice pair of over-the-ear headphones that won't cost you too much money. With the 40mm dynamic drivers, they still pump out powerful sound, so don't think just because they're cheaper, they won't sound great.

Beats Studio Pro
Beats Studio Pro: was $349 now $199 at Amazon

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.

Sony WH-1000XM4
Sony WH-1000XM4: was $348 now $228 at Amazon

Although now superseded by the WH-1000XM5, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are still a solid buy. They offer effective ANC, superior comfort, excellent sound quality, and an epic battery life that runs up to 38 hours. In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we said they're one of the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $229 at Amazon

As we noted in our Bose QuietComfort Headphones review, these are "excellent always-on noise-cancelers with enhanced sound and battery life." They come with enhanced sound, more features, and the same celebrated noise cancelation as their QC45 predecessor.

Sennheiser Momentum 4
Sennheiser Momentum 4: was $379 now $277 at Amazon

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 have some of the best battery life of any active noise canceling headphones we've tested. They last up to 60 hours of playtime with ANC enabled, which is incredible. They also offer excellent sound quality, effective noise canceling performance and a robust design.

Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $298 at Amazon

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.

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Over-Ear Headphones
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Over-Ear Headphones: was $399 now $299 at Amazon

The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e are incredible sounding and feeling noise cancelling headphones. They're made out of super luxurious materials, including foam earpads with a fabric finish and metal detailing. And their sound wraps you up in comforting, warm audio. You also get 30 hours of battery life.

Bowers & Wilkins Px8
Bowers & Wilkins Px8: was $699 now $499 at Amazon

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 made our list of the best headphones as the best luxury pair of 'phones you can get. Their sophisticated sound, top-notch sound and up to 30 hour battery life make them a winner. Now that they're on sale, you can get that premium feel for an even better price.

Apple AirPods Max
Apple AirPods Max: was $549 now $479 at Amazon

The AirPods Max are Apple's premium, retro-style headphones. They feature large ear cushions, a digital crown, active noise cancellation, and Spatial Audio. The latter feature uses head tracking to offer a surround sound experience. In our AirPods Max review, we said the 'phones offer exceptional noise-cancelling, a luxurious design, and sophisticated soundstage.
