Best budget headphones deal: $33 Sony WH-CH520s

SAVE $36.99: As of Sept. 2, the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are on sale for only $33 at Amazon. That's 53% off their current list price of $69.99 and their best price on record.

If you don't need all the fancy pants bells and whistles that come with top-of-the-line headphones, you can save a bunch of money by opting for something more basic like the Sony WH-CH520s. They'll still check all the essential boxes like good sound quality, multipoint connection, hands-free calling, decent battery life, and a comfortable and lightweight design, but they won't cost you as much as a car payment.

As of Sept. 2, you can pick up a pair of Sony WH-CH520 headphones (in black) for only $33 at Amazon. That's a savings of 53% or $36.99 and their lowest price ever on record. And considering these babies just got a $10 price hike, raising their list price from $59.99 to $69.99, this discount is even more impressive.

The depth of sound isn't going to match Sony's $450 WH-1000XM6 headphones, but as our reviewer noted, "The audio quality of this Sony pair certainly packed a punch. When running in them (pretty comfortable, all things considered), the sound of traffic and the wind was just barely audible — certainly way less audible than you'd expect from such a minimalistic headphone design."

Other standouts include up to 50 hours of battery life, a three-minute fast-charge feature, multipoint connectivity, customizable EQ, and a lightweight design. You can even create sound profiles in the app to match the genre you're listening to. They have a lot going for them for the price. The only downfall is that while they come in a bunch of fun colors, only the black option is sitting at the record-low $33.
