The Sony headphones offering the best premium audio are over $80 off
If you’re an audiophile who values the best sound possible even while using ANC, look no further than the Sony WH-1000XM6. I’ve been a loyal customer of the 1000X line for many years and always end up going back to these headphones for most of my listening sessions. They have perhaps the best ANC on the market, and they are very comfortable to wear for hours at a stretch. They’re currently $378 (originally $459.99), their lowest price ever, and I can vouch that they’ll be worth your money. (You can read about them in more detail in my review.)
The best headphones for Apple users are $150 off
The AirPods Max 2 are excellent ANC headphones, and the best option for those in the Apple ecosystem. These are the latest 2026 version of the on-ear headphones, with the H2 chip, Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation, and Voice Isolation. If you’re in Apple-land and want to stay there (and it’s worth the extra money to you), then the AirPods Max 2 are an excellent option that doesn’t usually go on sale for anywhere near this price: You can get them for $399 (originally $549). (Read about the headphones in more detail in PCMag’s review.)
The Space One over-ear headphones are just $66, and they are honestly all you need
Over-ear headphones can get pretty pricey, but luckily, you don’t need to spend your rent money to get a great pair The Anker Soundcore Space One gives you the best bang for your buck with many high-end features, including an impressive ANC quality for its price, the LDAC Hi-Res audio codec that offers better audio quality than most Bluetooth headphones, and a great companion app. You’ll get up to 55 hours of battery life, but if you’re a stickler for button placement and design, you might have some issues with the Space Ones. But for $66 (originally $99.99), who’s complaining? You can read more about it on PCMag’s “excellent” review.
What do you think so far?
The latest premium Bose headphones are $90 off
Bose doubled down on the winning formula from the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones with the second generation, improving their battery life, ANC, audio quality, microphones, and many other features. You can get these premium headphones for $369 (originally $449), their lowest price yet.
The best headphones for travel are $200 off
The Tour One M3s are down to $249.95 (originally $449.95), their lowest price ever. This is a great deal for these headphones, which I deemed my favorite option for travel. Everything from design to the features on the Tour One M3 was made with travel in mind, and the standout feature is their high-quality, low-latency audio transmitter: You can essentially make anything that you can plug an AUX cable, USB, or USB-C port into stream high-quality 24-bit audio wirelessly to the Tour One M3s. It’s fantastic for watching seatback entertainment while on a flight.
