UPDATE: May. 30, 2023, 11:50 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest headphone deals from Amazon, Best Buy, and more.
A good pair of headphones lets you tune out the rush of a morning commute or neighbors who don't understand the concept of thin walls, and tune into the sounds you actually want to be listening to. In other words, they're a modern-day essential. Though a quality pair can require some investment, you don't have to pay full price, even with brands like Bose, Sony, or Apple. To make finding the right pair as seamless as possible, each week we'll be bringing you the best deals on headphones and earbuds.
Best noise-canceling headphones deal
Why we like it
There's a 90% chance you've seen over-the-ear Sony headphones around. The WH-1000XM5 is a popular pick (as well as a Mashable Choice pick) thanks to their sound quality, comfortable wear, and 30-hour battery life. Post-Memorial Day Weekend markdowns, you can still snag the midnight blue colorway of these headphones on sale, though you'll want to act quickly — the other two colorways have already gone back up to full price.
Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

Best earbuds deal
Why we like it
Amazon surprise-dropped several new Echo devices on Wednesday, May 17, including a new pair of pared-down Echo Buds with a basic semi-in-ear design, multi-device pairing, and a five-hour battery life. (The Echo Buds from 2021, which start at $119.99 with a wired charging case, are now called "Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation.") You can pre-order a pair for the introductory price of $39.99 ahead of their June 7 release, which takes 20% off their planned MSRP.
