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

For Apple fans, these No. 1 bestsellers are a must-have upgrade. 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. The battery gives you up to six hours of listening time per charge — and up to 30 hours with the charging case. 

While Beats do go on sale from time to time, this is the lowest price they've ever dropped to — nearly 50% off! Here are the highlights: They're wireless, noise-canceling and offer up to 40 hours of battery life. Score them on sale in four colors.

"Very comfortable, long-lasting battery and the sound, OMG — clear, crispy, aaaaamazing, the best I ever experienced so far," said one impressed customer. "The price was excellent and I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to listen to your music or TV with excellent noise cancellation."

Listen up: Our senior tech writer, Rick Broida, has spent the past two decades testing (and testing, and re-testing) hundreds of earbuds. So, when he's surprised by just how good a $40 pair performs, you need to check them out ASAP. When he tested some of the best earbuds on the market, he named this pair the best budget option, praising their sound quality and noise-canceling abilities. And this wallet-friendly option just got even more budget-friendly, currently down to $20 — the lowest we've ever seen them.

Equipped with features like active noise canceling and transparency modes, you'll be able to choose how much of the outside world you'd like to tune out while enjoying playlists and audiobooks. Plus, these babies are sweat- and water-resistant, meaning you can take 'em to the gym, and you'll be treated to up to 24 hours of listening time via the charging case. They typically only dip lower during major sale events. 

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.

If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. This pair features active noise cancellation, and if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to four hours of listening time per charge (and 20 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.

They've only dipped lower once, and not by very much!

If you’re not too fussed about going wireless and don’t want to drop a ton of cash, the JBL Quantum 100 is hands-down the best $20 you’ll spend on gaming headphones. They’re comfy enough to wear through an all-night FortNite raid (thank you, memory foam ear cushions), and the sound is solid enough to catch every footstep sneaking up on you. 

Plus, the detachable mic means you can easily switch from gaming to jamming out, without looking like you’re about to direct air traffic.

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.

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.

Bose is known for its incredibly high standards, and these cans are no different. At a record-low price, the QuietComfort headphones have up to 24 hours of battery life, are available in four different colors and even include an audio cable so you can continue listening if the batteries die. 

One fan put it nicely: "I just can't say enough about the superior noise cancellation and sound quality in addition to the wearability."

If you’re after the absolute best in 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 eleven. 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).

"This $89 deal on Beats is worth checking out if you've been thinking about upgrading your headphones. I have to admit — I'm usually more of an over-the-ear guy but my now-ancient pair of Beats on-ears are the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned, and I've owned a fair few. Be sure to snag these quickly as I'm sure they will sell out."

These AirPods came out in September 2024, and while they look like the original AirPods, they have a few more functions. First of all, they offer personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, so your tunes sound great no matter how you move. They also offer up to 30 hours of battery life with the included charging case. And, of course, they have thousands of five-star ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality and convenient cord-free design that makes them easy to use and connect to any of your other Apple devices.

"I had no idea how much Apple had improved the sound quality on the AirPods. I had my old ones for about four years and decided to upgrade and I'm so happy I did," explained one buyer. "I feel like I just received a brand new set of ears. Absolutely stunning sound and technology. Well worth the price and so easy to set up!"

These stylish Beats Solo headphones are now 50% off — their lowest price yet — so you can snag all the signature Beats features for $100. Expect rich, balanced audio with clear highs and punchy bass that'll make your playlists pop. They pair seamlessly with Apple devices, offer up to 40 hours of battery life, and are as portable as they are comfortable, making them perfect for life on the go.

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.

Plus, they can switch between two devices, so you won't miss a call while vibing to your playlist.

These cans come with 50 hours of power. If you run out, you can charge it for just three minutes to get an extra 1.5 hours. 

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.

These stylish cans combine a wild 60 hours of playback time with active noise-canceling features to create a quiet, focused listening experience that's hard to beat. Right now, they're close to an all-time low price for Prime members — not quite the lowest we've ever seen, but only a few dollars off. 

More than 55,000 people give these headphones a five-star rating. Why? Well, as one fan puts it, "They are as good as my $300 pair from Bose." That's high praise, especially considering the price. 

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 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.

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-canceling 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 7 hours, ensuring they last through your day.
