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.

Best earbuds deal

Why we like it

If you're looking for a pair of earbuds that will hold their quality for a few years through a lot of use, the Apple AirPods are a great bet. They're good for decent audio quality and easy connectivity without breaking the bank. The second-gen AirPods remain a top pick of ours (please, don't waste your money on the 3rd gens). If you want ANC, you'll have to budget a bit more for a different pair, but for standard music and podcast fare, these do the trick.
