Beats headphone deals are the kinds of sales we stay extra-watchful for. As an Apple sub-brand, Beats headphones and earbuds deliver exceptional sound quality and powerful noise cancelling for fairly reasonable prices. But right now, you’ll be able to grab the Beats Studio Buds for $80. They’re normally $150, and this is just one of many Best Buy deals we discovered this week!

Why you should buy the Beats Studio Buds

Noise cancelling earbuds are made by just about every noteworthy audio company these days, but Apple seems to have a way of cancelling those unwanted frequencies that other brands struggle to match. Such is the case with the Beats Studio Buds. Not only will you be able to block out the decibels you don’t want pounding around in your ears, but a fast switchover to Transparency mode immediately amplifies the sounds around you; allowing you to have conversations without removing your earbuds.

Comfort wise, you may even forget you’re wearing the Studio Buds! The compact form factor gives the buds a nice, tight seal while they’re in your ears, while the three pairs of silicone ear tips provide padding and extra stability. The earbuds are also IPX4 rated: Use them to your heart’s content at the gym or on a jog.

As far as sound quality goes, Beats are big on bass, and always have been. The Studio Buds don’t lag behind when it comes to treble or midrange either though. We’re also pleased to report that you should get up to 8 hours of bud playback on a full charge. The included charging case stores an extra 16 hours of battery life, and you’ll be able to recharge the case fast with the USB-C port.

Ideally, the Studio Buds are best paired to an iPhone or iPad to be able to take advantage of hands-free Siri functions. But as long as you don’t mind manual Bluetooth pairing, you’ll be able to connect them to Android devices too. 

True wireless earbuds deals are promos we’re always on the lookout for. And again, for a limited time, you’ll be able to score the Beats Studio Buds for just $80!

Noise-canceling earbuds and headphones are designed to give you the best sound quality possible by eliminating pesky background noise. These are the ambient sounds you hear as you walk down a city street, fire up an air conditioner, or sit idly on a plane, train, or bus. Our team of audio experts has reviewed all kinds of earbuds over the years, but today we’re going to bring the spotlight back to a classic, the Technics EAH-AZ80 TWS Earbuds.

Why, you may be asking? Because now that you can preorder the Technics EAH-AZ100 (just revealed at CES 2025), the Z80 Series is $100 off! We tested these earbuds close to two years ago, and reviewer Simon Cohen said the EAH-AZ80 delivered “great sound and comfort for hours of hi-fi listening.”

The Apple AirPods Max have a $150 discount — don’t miss this chance!
The Apple AirPods Max on a surface, viewed from the side.

If you've had your sights set on the Apple AirPods Max for a while now, but you've been waiting for a chance to get them with a huge discount, today's the day: Best Buy is selling the wireless headphones for $400, for savings of $150 on their original price of $550. They don't always appear on headphone deals, so we're pretty sure that a lot of shoppers will try to take advantage of this offer. Before the stocks that are up for sale run out, secure your own by pushing through with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
The Apple AirPods Max on sale are the original release with the Lightning port, not the Apple AirPods Max update with the USB-C port, but that's not likely going to be a problem for Apple fans who still have some devices using the brand's proprietary connector. You're still getting a device that appears in our roundups of the best headphones as our pick for iPhone owners and best noise-canceling headphones as our recommend choice for Apple users. It all begins with the amazing active noise cancellation of the Apple AirPods Max, their fantastic transparency mode when you want to hear what's going on around you without having to take them off, and support for spatial audio for an immersive listening experience.
