Finding a pair of headphones or earbuds that precisely meet your needs—whether you’re using them at the gym, while working from home, or even when showering—doesn’t have to mean shelling out a ton of money. The best of them can be really expensive, yes, but if you're a patient shopper, you can usually find a good deal on just about any pair of headphones.
With that said, here are the best deals, discounts, and sales you can find on earbuds and headphones right now. I'll be regularly updating this list as offers come and go, so check back in as needed—but given these prices can change at any time, I would advise you not to wait if you spot a pair that fits your needs and budget.
Right now, you can grab a "grade A" refurbished pair of Beats Studio Pro over-ear headphones for $139.99 from Woot. That's $220 off the original $349.99 price and $20 less than you'll pay for a renewed pair on Amazon. These durable, comfortable headphones are a great choice if you're an Apple user, as Apple owns Beats, but they work well with Android devices too.
The Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) earbuds aren’t the newest exercise earbuds on the market (or even on the Beats line; that would be the Powerbeats Pro 2), but they’re a classic option with ANC and a comfortable fit, making them a sportier version of AirPods Pro, with a slight edge when it comes to battery life. You can get a pair in white or pink for $124.99 (originally $199.95), the lowest price ever.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 came out in 2025 and are the best over-ear headphones I tested last year (or ever, really). These headphones go with a companion app that's packed with a lot more features that you can nerd out on. The audio quality is second to none, with the fully customizable EQ giving you plenty of options to get the sound how you like it. Right now, you can get the WH-1000XM6 headphones for $398 (originally $459.99), $20 off their lowest price ever.
The earbuds version of the WF-1000XM6 are also discounted for the first time. They're $298 (originally $329.99), the lowest price since the recent release. Whenever Sony releases a new version of its flagship earbuds, you can generally trust that they will be the best your money can buy until the next iteration rolls around, and these are no exception.
If you don't need the latest XM6 headphones and are good with the older XM5 version, which are still incredible headphones, a refurbished pair is $159.99 on Amazon. A new pair will run you $248, which is still a pretty good deal compared to the $399.99 launch price.
Nothing is an upstart tech brand from the UK that makes tech products with unique features and designs, and the prices are very competitive. Right now, Nothing's latest budget over-ear headphones, which were released in October, the CMF Headphone Pros, are just $69 (originally $99), the product's lowest price ever. This is a great option for anyone looking to get budget over-the-ear headphones with 100 hours of battery life that punch above their weight.
If you prefer premium over-ear headphones, you can get the Nothing Headphones (1) for $219 (originally $299), the lowest price yet. Yes, they're considerably more expensive, but they offer all of the same features plus 35 hours with ANC on, up to 80 without, 3.5mm AUX connectivity, a multi-function volume scroll wheel (they call it the Roller) that works for track navigation and other features, and spatial audio.
Nothing keeps impressing with its value. The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds come with a companion app that lets you customize the sound with presets or adjust the bass, mids, and highs individually. It supports AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs, Bluetooth 5.3, plus multipoint for two devices at once, ANC, and a 9.5-hour battery life. If you have a Nothing phone, you can use a pinch-to-speak ChatGPT feature. Get them for $59 (originally $109).
I've tried many headphones with strong bass, but none have taken it to the rumbling lows of the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2, with convenient hands-on controls and active noise-canceling (ANC) features. The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 is $149.99 (originally $239.99). What makes them stand out is the "Crusher" feature. It is a bass enhancer that boosts the bass to make a unique sound signature that makes me feel like I'm experiencing the music live. The headphones also have a convenient wheel that you can turn to increase or decrease the bass.
Google's "a" series is their budget versions of the "Pro" series, but as our review explains, they are “almost pro-level specs but for much less.” These Pixel Buds 2a are $99 (originally $129), the latest version with ANC, offering great value for the price, especially if you're in the Google ecosystem.
