Whether you're looking for a budget pair of headphones to score for less than $100 or you're ready to splurge, there are deals this week for every shopper.

Best noise-canceling headphones deal

Why we like it

This month, Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones have been hanging out on Amazon at their lowest-ever price of $329. While this deal has been active for some time, we don't know how long it's going to continue. So, if you're considering splurging on the premium headphones, we recommend claiming the $80 in savings before it's gone. Along with three different noise-cancellation modes, these headphones tout spatial audio features, a 24-hour battery life, and design features like soft ear cushions and a pressure-evening band that create utmost comfort.

Best budget headphones deal

Why we like it

Don't want to spend that much on a new pair of headphones? No problem. You can grab a budget pair of noise-cancelling headphones for less than $50 this week thanks to Amazon's deal on Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones. At just $49.99, these over-ear headphones are cheap without being cheaply made. They have a 40-60 hour battery life depending on which mode it's in, and feature BassUp technology that identifies lower frequencies and amplifies them. Plus, according to the brand's research, the headphones reduce ambient noise by up to 90%.

Best AirPods deal

Why we like it

When it comes to quality earbuds, Apple AirPods are a timeless staple. This week, you can score a 2nd Generation pair for just $89 at Amazon - saving you $40. They're powered by the Apple H1 chip, which enables them to deliver rich, powerful sound. Plus, with the charging case, they offer 24 hours of playtime. AirPods are an especially great pick for those who have a lot of active devices: after an initial one-tap setup with your devices, AirPods are always connected. This means that sound can seamlessly switch between your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, iPad, and Apple TV depending on what you're using.
