Apple AirPods deals

If you own an iPhone or multiple Apple products, the AirPods Pro are likely the best true wireless earbuds on the market for you. Unlike the base AirPods, the latest Pros offer better sound quality and feature active noise cancellation, not to mention seamless integration with iOS and a MagSafe-compatible charging case.

While the AirPods Pro carry a lofty, $249.99 price tag, they also go on sale rather frequently. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, for instance, we saw them drop as low as $160. They’re no longer available at that price, but you can still get a pair with the MagSafe charging case for $174.98 at Amazon or for $189.99 at Best Buy.

Alternatively, you can buy a pair of second-generation AirPods — now the entry-level model — with either a wired or wireless charging case. The base AirPods normally retail for $129, but you can currently get the version with the wired charging case for $98.98 at Amazon or Walmart.

If you prefer a little more convenience, you can also get a pair of the second-gen AirPods with a Qi-compatible wireless charging case for a few dollars more. Apple no longer sells the wireless configuration — and they’ve become increasingly difficult to find online — but you can still get them for $159 at B&H Photo.

Last on the AirPods block is the recent third-gen model, the latest addition to the AirPods lineup. The earbuds blend a bit of the AirPods Pro look with the hard, plastic build of the second-gen model, and come with a MagSafe-compatible charging case. They also offer IPX4 water resistance, improved sound quality, and retail for $179.

Despite having launched back in October, you can currently get them for $149.98 at Amazon and Walmart. It may not be $140, the price we saw them going for around Black Friday, but if you like the newer design and MagSafe charging, it’s worth considering.

Similar in appearance to their sleeker sibling, the AirPods Pro, the latest entry-level AirPods boast a new charging case and shorter stems. They’re also water-resistant, unlike the 2019 model, and sport better battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Buds deals

Samsung released the Galaxy Buds 2 — a good-sounding pair of earbuds with active noise cancellation, wireless charging, and a subtle design — in August, and we’ve seen plenty of discounts since then at retailers like Woot and Amazon. Right now, for instance, you can get them at Woot for $99.99, their lowest price to date. While these are in new condition, they only carry a 90-day warranty from Woot. If that gives you pause, you can find the purple model on Amazon for $106.17, and other colorways for $109.99, both of which include a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2

The Galaxy Buds 2 are the new entry-level wireless earbuds from Samsung. Despite this, they’re packed with enough features that people on a budget might be happy choosing these over the pricier Buds Pro.

The Galaxy Buds Plus were our top pick last year for the best wireless earbuds overall, but have since been discontinued with the arrival of the Galaxy Buds 2. A successor to the original Galaxy Buds, the Plus model extends the battery life by up to 11 hours and, unlike AirPods, comes in an assortment of colors.

Right now, you can buy the $149.99 Galaxy Buds Plus in black for just $79 at Walmart, which is the lowest price we’ve seen in the last several months and likely one of the last major discounts we’ll see before the earbuds become unavailable.

The Galaxy Buds Plus are the last-gen successor to the Galaxy Buds. The biggest change from this model is that the battery life is nearly doubled compared to the original Galaxy Buds.

The Galaxy Buds Live are some of the more unconventional wireless earbuds on the market right now, but don’t let their bean-shaped design fool you. The Buds Live are a good option if you want earbuds that produce powerful sound and showcase marathon battery life. Right now, you can purchase a pair of the Galaxy Buds Live in their black colorway at Amazon for $95 instead of $169.99, their lowest price to date. You can also find them at Target and Best Buy for $99.99.

Samsung’s unconventional wireless earbuds are shaped like beans, but they produce a powerful sound and come with lengthy battery life.

Sony earbud deals

If you’re looking for a pair of Sony earbuds that are even more budget-friendly, enter the Sony WF-C500. These affordable earbuds came out at the end of 2021, and they prove their worth with good sound quality, excellent battery life, and very aggressive pricing. You may not get active noise cancellation or wireless charging with these earbuds, but they remain an exceptional value. Currently, these are available at Walmart for $69, a modest discount on their $79 price tag. Read our review.

The Sony WF-C500 are a budget-friendly pair of earbuds that prioritize sound quality and battery life. The small and pocket-friendly charging case carries one additional charge, totaling 20 hours of listening time.

Jabra Elite 75t deals

Compared to the competition, Jabra’s wireless earbuds have a rare feature that has yet to become standard in the true wireless earbud market: the ability to connect to two devices concurrently. Ideally, this is great for users who switch between two devices often (like, say, a phone and a laptop).

Despite their age, the Jabra Elite 75t remain a dependable set of earbuds. In our original review, The Verge’s Chris Welch decried them to be the best AirPods alternative you could buy at the time, with a comfortable fit, dual point Bluetooth connectivity, and deep, bass-heavy sound. We were slightly disappointed by the lack of true active noise cancellation, but we’re happy to report that, thanks to a firmware update, the Jabra Elite 75t now include this feature.

Normally $149.99, the Jabra Elite 75t wireless earbuds are currently on sale at Best Buy and Walmart for $79.99. We don’t expect them to be widely available for much longer, however, given Jabra plans to phase out the Elite 75t in favor of more recent models, specifically the Elite 7 Pro, Elite 7 Active, and Elite 3.

Jabra Elite 75t

Jabra’s Elite 75t earbuds offer bass-heavy sound, reliable performance, and can connect to two devices — like a phone and laptop — at the same time.

Jabra Elite 75t Active deals

The Jabra Elite 75t offers a decent amount of resistance to sweat and water, but if you’re looking for a more fitness-oriented set of earbuds, we recommend taking a look at the Jabra Elite Active 75t. These earbuds are largely identical to the Elite 75t but include a rubberized coating to keep them from flying out of your ears and enhanced sweat resistance, allowing you to work out without fear of compromising your new set of earbuds. Typically $179.99, the Elite 75t are available at Best Buy and Walmart right now for $99.99.

Jabra Elite Active 75t

The Active 75t earbuds from Jabra are virtually identical to the standard model but feature an improved fit and enhanced waterproofing.

Jabra Elite 85t deals

In 2020, Jabra released the Elite 85t wireless earbuds, which are the highest-tier model in Jabra’s current lineup. They offer more advanced noise cancellation than the 75t, however, they also feature less bass and an inferior fit. That said, you can currently buy the $229.99 Jabra Elite 85t at Amazon and Best Buy for $149.99, just $10 shy of their best price to date.

Jabra Elite 85t

Jabra’s Elite 85t have noise cancellation and a semi-open design, letting them breathe a bit more than the company’s other models. One of their most impressive features is the ability to handle multiple Bluetooth connections simultaneously.

Jabra Elite 3 deals

The Jabra Elite 3, one of the newer models from Jabra, are also available right now at a sizeable discount. In his review, The Verge’s Chris Welch noted that even though the Jabra Elite 3 shed features like active noise cancellation and multipoint Bluetooth support, they still provide an excellent listening experience at a relatively low price point. Normally $79.99, the earbuds are currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $59.99, matching their best price to date.

Jabra Elite 3

Jabra’s Elite 3 earbuds have a refreshed design that’s more stylish than the company’s past earbuds. While they don’t have many frills or extra features, they fare well in the key areas of sound quality, comfort, and battery life.

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2 deals

Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2 are another pair of excellent noise-canceling earbuds that are currently on sale, at least on Amazon. As noted in our review, the earbuds offer great ANC performance, customizable controls, and sound that can nearly match that of a premium pair of noise-canceling over-ear headphones. Normally $299.95, you can buy them right now at Amazon and Best Buy for $199.95, one of their better prices to date.

Beats Powerbeats Pro deals

If you’re currently in the market for a reliable pair of wireless earbuds for your workouts, it’s hard to go wrong with the predecessor to the Studio Buds, the Beats Powerbeats Pro. These earbuds sport an over-ear hook that keeps them in place while you’re exercising; they also offer IPX4 sweat- and water-resistant, meaning you don’t have to worry about ruining them should your workout get intense.

Currently, there are a few different discounts available on the Powerbeats Pro. The lowest price we’ve found is at Amazon, where you can buy them in select colorways for as low as $169.95. If Amazon doesn’t have the color you’re after, however, you can also pick them up at Best Buy or the official Beats storefront, both of which are selling them in several colors for $179.99. That’s not the lowest price we’ve seen the PowerBeats Pro go for — they were on sale for around $150 throughout most of November and December — but it’s still a hefty discount on what would otherwise be a $250 pair of earbuds.

Beats Powerbeats Pro

The Beats Powerbeats Pro provide up to nine hours of battery life, with 24 hours provided by the case. They’re IPX4 sweat- and water resistant, too, and feature Apple’s H1 chip for easy pairing and hands-free Siri commands.

UE Fits deals

After testing a pair for ourselves, we remarked in our review that the UE Fits were the most comfortable consumer earbuds on the market. That’s because, unlike the other wireless earbuds on this list, the UE Fits are uniquely capable of permanently molding to the shape of your ears in just 60 seconds, making them a great choice for those concerned their earbuds may come loose or fall out. At the same time, however, we also found that they offer good sound quality, as well as lengthy, eight-hour battery life.

Normally $199.99, you can get them right now for just $169 — their typical sale price —from Ultimate Ears.

UE Fits

The UE Fits come with ear tips that permanently mold to the unique shape of your ears in just 60 seconds. This allows for a much better fit that you can comfortably wear for hours.
