I review headphones: All the best noise-cancelling deals live during the Amazon Spring Sale, starting at $42

Table of Contents

As a headphones reviewer who's also covered the past two years of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, I knew that the seasonally-themed sale could bring some decent tech savings, even if they aren't quite Prime Day-worthy.

That is to say, I didn't expect the noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals to be as good as they are — at least as of day two of the weeklong sale. The only major omission so far has been from Bose (though the QuietComfort earbuds got a brief $40 markdown in the leadup to the sale). Sony's latest flagship releases, our budget-favorite EarFun earbuds, and even the newly announced Apple AirPods Max 2, on the other hand, are all on sale.

Why we like it

Sony's flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones may be on sale for $61.99 off, but if you can't afford to drop $400 on a new pair of headphones, then try these over-ears instead. They still received a positive review in our guide to the best Sony headphones, and they offer active noise cancellation and Sony's advanced audio features at a much more reasonable price.

Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal

Why we like it

While there are plenty of great noise-cancelling earbuds out there, not all of them can claim to offer a performance that beats the AirPods 4 while costing less than $100. With the Sony WF-C710N on sale for $88, that's exactly the case.

While this isn't the absolute lowest price we've caught these earbuds at (that would be $69.99), you'll still save an impressive 32% on them right now. And you'll get a pair of earbuds with solid ANC, a comfortable enough fit for at least a few hours of continuous wear, easy-to-use touch controls, classic, well-rounded Sony sound, and 8.5 hours of battery life per charge.
