Best headphone deals for July 2026

Bowers & Wilkins' latest set of cans are the best we've seen so far, as demonstrated in our 5-star Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 headphones review. They've got some of the best sound we've ever heard for the price, and they're also some of the most comfortable headphones you can put on your head. 30 hours of battery makes sure they'll last a long time, and they've got a super sturdy protective case.

I don't need expensive headphones, I just need good sound and good battery life. And these ones tick both those boxes, as they're our new pick for the best headphones you can buy on a budget. In our CMF Headphones Pro review my colleague Nikita Achanta praised their premium sound, excellent set of features and lightweight, stylish design. The only downsides were the weak treble and call quality, but these headphones are amazing for less than $100.

The AirPods Max 2 are Apple's latest flagship over-ears, with hi-res audio playback via USB-C and Bluetooth, seamless Siri integration and smart features like Live Translation, intuitive controls, and a sleek, iconic design. You also get better noise cancelation, but the battery life remains at 20 hours.

The Marshall Monitor III made our list of the best headphones because of their incredible battery life. These retro-looking headphones deliver up to 100 hours of battery life are great for listening on the go. They're also extremely comfy, and we really appreciate their intuitive physical controls.

The Sennheiser HDB 630 are some of the best headphones we've tested. Instead of pursuing active noise canceling, Sennheiser has put everything into the sound of the headphones — including a magical Bluetooth dongle for devices that don't support high-quality connections. 60 hours of battery certainly doesn't harm things either.

The 1More Sonoflow Pro headphones are a budget buyer's best friend — we rank them as the best headphones you can buy for under $100. They sound great and they're super affordable. Right now you can save an extra 20% at checkout.

When it’s time to hit the books, drowning out distractions from the outside world is no easy task. These killer cans offer active noise cancellation to keep you focused, and you can activate Ambient Aware and TalkThru in the JBL Headphones app to interact with fellow humans again. Plus, the foldable design is easy to toss in a bag or backpack.

The Beats Studio Pro headphones have had the price slashed by 51%, and while I wouldn't recommend them at full price, $169 for the Beats sound profile and insanely good ANC is too good pass up.

Bose's second iteration of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones bring some of the best active noise canceling around, and offer 30 hours of battery. They also sound incredible, and they're very comfortable to wear.

The Jlab Jbuds Lux ANC made our list of the best noise-canceling headphones as the best pair for under $100. You get great audio with Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio support, up to 70 hours of battery life and strong active noise canceling capabilities to boot.

The JBL Live 780NC are a great pair of headphones at full price — when discounted, they're amazing. During our tests, our reviewer loved their improved audio with more balanced and immersive sound compared to the previous JBL Live 770NC headphones. You also get up to 80 hours of battery life.

Our AirPods Pro 3 review said these are a big upgrade over the old model, with a new, more secure fit and 2 hours more battery life. The active noise canceling is some of the best around as well, all while being significantly cheaper than the competition.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are a significant upgrade over their predecessors. They boast excellent sound quality, customizable EQ, and great battery life. The noise cancellation excels, offering complete silence even in loud situations. The design is great, despite the slightly larger charging case. These are a highly recommended upgrade for superior quiet and sound control.

Beats’ new workout earbuds are an all-around upgrade from the previous version. In our Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we loved their stylish design, strong bassy sound and stable fit. You also get 10 hours of listening time on a charge, or up to 45 hours with the included charging case. They also have some unique features on board, like handy physical button controls and a heart rate monitor. We rank them as the best wireless earbuds for fitness on the market.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds gen 2 are some seriously impressive earbuds. They've got Bose's incredible noise canceling, sprinkle in some excellent sound and have a comfortable fit thanks to some wicked little fitting wings. They don't have the most battery life around — 6 hours — but they're a great pair of noise canceling earbuds to pick up.

The CMF Buds Pro pack some great features in for a bargain price. The active noise canceling is excellent, the fit is very comfortable, and the 43 hours of battery life is exemplary.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are a major upgrade to the flagship earbud line, combining excellent bassy sound, incredible ANC, and a slew of AI features. We even said they had "AirPods-level sound quality" — and rank them as one of the best wireless earbuds you can buy.

The Final ZE500 earbuds are designed specifically for ASMR, audiobooks, podcasts and spoken word, and they do a fantastic job of creating immersive, three-dimensional soundscapes. The tiny earbuds pack powerful bass, crystal clear vocals and amazing binaural sound. They’re exceptionally comfortable and competitively priced, and they’re good for all types of listeners.

The EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus perform like much pricier earbuds. With an unkillable 45-hour battery life and dual drivers for rich bass and melodic treble, these earbuds are the best option for audiophiles on a serious budget.

These earbuds can do it all: surprisingly excellent sound quality, an impressive IP66 durability rating, 26 hours battery life, and 3 ANC modes. Our JLab Go Pods ANC review said these are truly some of the best cheap wireless earbuds money can buy.

The AirPods 4 boast a new design, which Apple has refined with "50 million data points" to create the most comfortable AirPods yet. 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.

These AirPods 4 have all the same great features as the base AirPods 4, except they also include Active Noise Cancellation. They also feature Adaptive Audio, Transparency mode, and Voice Isolation.

The Beats Studio Buds are a wonderful little pair of buds, with some big improvements over the last model. 9 hours of battery life is exemplary, extended to 36 hours with the charging case, and they're some of the most comfortable wireless in-ears around. In our Beats Studio Buds Plus review, we gave them 4 stars thanks to their great design and sound.

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 saving is a solid discount.

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.

The Beyerdynamic Amiron ZERO open-earbuds are the ones to beat. They have excellent sound quality with impressive detail, and the simple app with customizable EQ settings gives you complete control. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods, and have an IP54 durability rating. The battery life is 20 hours (less than many other models on the market), but this isn’t a deal breaker.

The Shokz OpenDots 2 are go-to headphones for runs and general use. The clip-on design means they're comfortable to wear for hours at a time and allows you to hear your surroundings during runs, and the sound quality is excellent for open buds.

The Bose Ultra Open perfected the open earbud formula. They have a comfortable, non-invasive fit, solid battery life, and they sound better than you might expect from open buds. They got 4 stars in our review, where we loved their simple controls and surprising lack of sound leakage.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are the best earbuds in terms of active noise cancelation performance. New immersive audio technology creates a multi-dimensional soundstage with proprietary digital signal processing software, which leaves a strong impression. In our Bose QuietComfort Ultra review we said that you’d be hard pressed to find a better choice for blocking out the world’s sounds.

The EarFun Air Pro 4 earbuds boast five different effective ANC modes, gorgeous and well-balanced sound across genres, and they support advanced codecs for better audio quality. They’re extremely comfortable too — these are the perfect budget earbuds for audiophiles. We rank them as one of the best wireless earbuds on the market.

The Beats Solo Buds are a great pair of budget buds, with a secret up their clear crimson sleeves. There's 18 hours of battery life in the buds themselves, so you'll be listening non-stop. Sound quality is excellent for something so cheap and small too, and the case is positively tiny. We loved them in our 4-star Beats Solo Buds review, particularly the Spatial Audio support.
