A good pair of headphones lets you tune out the rush of a morning commute or neighbors who don't understand the concept of thin walls and tune into the sounds you actually want to be listening to. In other words, they're a modern-day essential. Though a quality pair can require some investment, you don't have to pay full price, even with brands like Bose, Sony, or Apple. To make finding the right pair as seamless as possible, each week we'll be bringing you the best deals on headphones and earbuds.

Why we like it

The Bose QuietComfort 45s are our favorite headphones for flying and one of our favorite headphones overall. That's thanks to their impressive comfort, 20-hour battery life, and of course, top-notch active noise cancellation Bose is known to offer. If you're looking to gift mom some peace and quiet for Mother's Day, these headphones are a great way to do it.

Why we like it

Read our full review of the Beats Studio Buds.

In 2019, we declared that the Beats Studio Buds put "entry-level AirPods to shame." Though some time has passed, there's still no denying that these buds deliver on being some of the best bang for your buck, especially when they're marked down to $100. With these earbuds you'll get spatial audio, up to eight hours of battery life on a single charge (yes, that beats that second gen AirPods Pro that came out last fall), active noise cancellation, and your choice between six different colorways.
