Like any other item, headphones and wireless earbuds eventually need to be replaced, and a high-quality pair comes at a cost. With so many options out there, you might overlook name-brand options due to sticker shock, but that’s not always necessary. Apple makes some of the best earbuds and headphones out there, and they are occasionally on sale or might available for less if you don’t mind going for an older model. Apple also owns Beats, and audio gear from these brands can be had for less if you know where to look. We at CNET rounded up come deals on these headphones and earbuds so you can upgrade for less.

What is the best AirPods deal right now?
Though they’re no longer the latest model on the market, the AirPods Pro 2 are still our overall favorite pair of noise-canceling Apple earbuds. And right now, you can snag a pair for just $190 at Amazon. That’s a respectable $59 discount compared to Apple’s price and that’s just the start. Check out our full rundown of the best prices across the entire lineup right here.
Best AirPods deals
Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon has already knocked a couple of bucks off the price of the brand-new AirPods 4. You can save $10 on the basic version without noise cancellation, or $10 on the version with ANC — dropping the price down to $119 and $169, respectively.
The second-gen AirPods Pro are among the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market and are a top pick for Apple users.
This model includes the USB-C and MagSafe charging case, although they are almost identical to the excellent AirPods Pro 2, which come with a Lightning case, except for one key feature. Folks who buy a Vision Pro headset will benefit from lossless audio when connecting these earbuds. That’s probably an edge case, but it’s still worth knowing about, especially if Apple adds the same feature to future iPhones and other hardware.
