Best deal on noise-canceling earbuds ahead of Prime Day

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are not Bose's newest active noise-cancelation (ANC) earbuds (those are the Bose QuietComfort Ultra), but the Comfort Earbuds II are still some of the best ANC earbuds on the market. For $169 (originally $279) you get the same ANC as the QuietComfort Ultra for almost half the price, although there are a couple of caveats. There is no way to turn off the ANC with these earbuds, but you can always turn on Aware mode if you want to be able to hear your surroundings. You also only get between six and seven hours of juice with these earbuds, but the charging case can provide about 18 hours of additional battery life.

Best AirPod deals for early Prime Day

If you're looking for AirPods, consider the Apple AirPods Max, starting at about $449 (originally $549), depending on the color. That's still expensive, of course, but they rarely go on sale at all.

If you're looking to spend less for your AirPods, consider the 2nd Generation Apple AirPods, currently going for $79.99 (originally $129). Yes, they're not the latest AirPods, but for $80, they're still a good deal.

Best over-ear headphone deal for early Prime Day

The best non-Apple over-ear headphones are the Sennheiser Momentum 4, currently $249.95 (originally $379.95). These headphones came out in 2022 and were one of the top ANC headphones for that year, according to PCMag's "excellent" review. If you're looking for excellent audio with strong bass, detailed highs, codec support for your phone, and user-friendly controls, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 for its current price is your best bet. It is less than $10 off its lowest price ever, so you'll be getting a good deal. These headphones have an impressive 60-hour battery life and the option to plug in a stereo 3.5mm cord.
