Bestselling headphone deals on Amazon:

Apple AirPods Pro 2Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear HeadphonesBose QuietComfort Bluetooth HeadphonesBeats Solo 4The Beats Solo 4 are 35% off right now. We love the 50-hour battery life and the fast fuel feature, which gives up to 5 hours of play time for just a 10-minute charge. These headphones come in black, pink, and blue. Price varies by color.

“The sound is super clear, and when I play music it’s loud and crisp,” an Amazon reviewer said. “The Bluetooth connects super quick to my android phone and I never have issues with it cutting out. The best part is definitely the battery life. 50 hours is crazy, I barely ever have to charge them and I use them almost every day. They’re also really comfortable, even when I wear them for a long time. If you want headphones that actually look good, sound good, and last forever without dying, these are such a good pick. I highly recommend them!”

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Overhead HeadphonesWe found another whopping 35% off headphone deal on these Sony cans. I personally own this pair and can speak to their superior noise-canceling abilities. They feature an up to 30-hour battery life and also offer quick charging with a 10 minute charge for 5 hours of playback. Choose from three colors, all are on sale now.

“If you’re looking for the best pair of noise cancelling headphones you can find, these are the ones. I am disabled and have sensory issues, so i was looking for a good pair, no matter the price. These headphones have changed my life,” wrote an Amazon customer.

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth HeadphonesThese Bose headphones come in a bunch of fun colors, but only the black is on sale right now. It has an up to 24-hour battery life, plus quiet and aware modes that let you toggle between full noise cancelling or full awareness of your surroundings for seamless sound control.

“The cushion on these is shockingly luxurious and an added bonus,” shared a reviewer.

“This set of noise-cancelling headphones is a great value. Excellent performance in reducing ambient noise while providing excellent audio quality, really good volume level capability, and comfortable, too! Many color choices, battery life is excellent, and the fast-charge feature is very useful,” wrote another.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear HeadphonesThese popular headphones are slightly marked down ahead of Amazon Big Deal Days. They come in a bunch of pretty colors and offer the most seamless pairing with your other Apple devices. 

“The AirPods Max are absolutely worth it. The sound quality is phenomenal—rich bass, crystal clear mids, and detailed highs. Noise cancellation is top-notch and blocks out distractions better than any headphones I’ve tried. The build feels very premium and comfortable, even for long listening sessions. The seamless connection with Apple devices makes setup effortless, and the spatial audio feature really takes movies and music to another level. Battery life is as expected, the control options on the iPhone make these ultra adjustable, volume is very easy to control, it does an excellent job of noise canceling,” an Amazon reviewer wrote.

Apple AirPods Pro 2The Apple AirPods Pro 2 can block twice as much background noise as other Apple models. We love that it has various transparency modes, including a conversation mode so you never miss a boarding gate announcement or a runner saying “on your left!” They have a six-hour battery life.

“I’m a pro audio engineer who has tried dozens of headphones and earbuds over the years. The airpods pro 2 are the best earbuds I’ve used yet. The sound quality is top tier. Well balanced, neutral in quality. Prefer no spatial settings for music and spatial fixed settings for movie watching to sound like I’m in a room. The microphone quality is better than anything else by a large margin,” an Amazon reviewer wrote. “Check out YouTube comparisons to hear how crystal clear they are compared to any other option. This matters a lot for sounding clear and professional in any setting. The noise cancellation is incredibly clear with multiple options.”

Dyson OnTrac HeadphonesIf you’re looking for a stylish pair of headphones, you’ve found them. The Dyson OnTrac are some of the most attractive over-ear headphones on the market. Plus, these Dyson headphones connect to a Dyson app so you can easily customize your listening experience without having to mess around with any annoying side buttons. You can get them on sale right now!

“Might be the best headphones I’ve ever bought, better than the Airpod Pro Max, love the weight, look and sound the app lets you customize to your liking so it’s perfect, connects to the app fast, worth the money, love the controls on the side of the right earcup,” shared a reviewer.

Apple AirPods 4You’ll save a little on the Apple AirPods 4 when you buy them now ahead of October Prime Day. The latest AirPod iteration has been redesigned for exceptional all-day comfort and greater stability. They offer up to five hours of listening time on one charge.

“I love these Airpods a lot. This is my third pair and I like it better than both the ones I had before this. This is definitely the most comfortable one I’ve had. Compared to the AirPods Pro that also offer noise cancellation, this one is way more comfortable,” a reviewer wrote.

“Comfort is a standout feature; they are exceptionally comfortable and snug, and their aesthetic is undeniably chic. The sound signature is notably balanced, and for closed-back ANC headphones, the soundstage is remarkably impressive – arguably their brightest shining attribute,” explained an Amazon customer.

“The Beats Studio Pro Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones have redefined my audio experience,” shared another. “From the moment I unboxed them, the sleek design and premium build quality were evident. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband provide a comfortable fit, even during extended listening sessions. Sound quality is outstanding. The custom acoustic platform delivers rich, immersive audio with deep bass and clear treble.”
