That's $60 less than buying from Apple directly and ties an all-time low. This is the “best for iOSâ€ pick in our wireless earbuds guide thanks to its suite of helpful Apple-specific features, including hands-free access to Siri, quick pairing with iPhones and device tracking through Apple’s Find My network. Effective (if not class-leading) ANC, a superb transparency mode and a pleasantly warm sound also stand out. That said, the Pro’s six-hour battery life is just average and, as with any set of AirPods, you pretty much have to be a dedicated Apple fan to get the most out of it.</p><p>This deal applies to the <a data-i13n="cpos:19;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:latest iteration;cpos:19;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0" href="https://www.engadget.com/apples-airpods-pro-now-come-with-a-usb-c-charging-case-175348512.html">latest iteration</a> of the earphones, which come with a USB-C charging case.

But if you prefer an open design that doesn’t completely seal off your ear canal or just want the typical AirPods conveniences for as cheap as possible, this is at least a more acceptable price.</p><h2>Apple AirPods Max</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Apple AirPods Max;pid:amazon_B08PZHYWJS;aid:amazon_B08PZHYWJS;itemcost:$549;itmId:$450;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-unavailable;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$450 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B08PZHYWJS&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Apple+AirPods+Max&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B08PZHYWJS&amp;brand=Apple&amp;price=549.0&amp;salePrice=449.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOFBaSFlXSlM_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAVanBUHwKijVxZgFAkOFesFzmohepMHrZ8rLKdivZqh6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/0l.dGu_k8ZqTc8dYJ9sOGg--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/55ffa180-8941-11ee-a7bf-ca213e2a8da0" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Billy Steele / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>Apple's top-of-the-line headphones still aren't cheap, but this Black Friday deal matches the lowest price we've seen over the past year.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Apple AirPods Max;pid:amazon_B08PZHYWJS;aid:amazon_B08PZHYWJS;itemcost:$549;itmId:$450;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-unavailable;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$450 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B08PZHYWJS&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Apple+AirPods+Max&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B08PZHYWJS&amp;brand=Apple&amp;price=549.0&amp;salePrice=449.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOFBaSFlXSlM_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAVanBUHwKijVxZgFAkOFesFzmohepMHrZ8rLKdivZqh6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$450 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:28;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:AirPods Max;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:28;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOFBaSFlXSlM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAV6Vbbq3NtBXFgoY5tFlPLGy4g2JOhL-zfv3VTEO-6bi&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB08PZHYWJS" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">AirPods Max</a>, are discounted to $450 at Amazon and <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:29;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Best Buy;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:29;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=5e0bed65-d2f8-4b34-9b8f-955218c0e37a&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Best+Buy&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2FwcGxlLWFpcnBvZHMtbWF4LXNwYWNlLWdyYXkvNjM3MzQ2MC5wP3NrdUlkPTYzNzM0NjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZ21zM2ak4gYAiDmy_m9chLd--0PXaWRn81vm9zj1xcG&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-airpods-max-space-gray%2F6373460.p%3FskuId%3D6373460" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Best Buy</a>.

As that title suggests, the main reason to consider this pair over the Sony WF-1000XM5 is its ANC performance, which is the strongest we’ve tested from a true wireless model. We also enjoy Bose’s spatial audio tech. But the earpieces are on the larger side, the call quality and battery life (at six-ish hours) are just OK and there’s no support for multi-device pairing.</p><h2>Beats Fit Pro</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Beats Fit Pro;pid:amazon_B09JL41N9C;aid:amazon_B09JL41N9C;itemcost:$200;itmId:$159;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$159 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B09JL41N9C&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Beats+Fit+Pro&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B09JL41N9C&amp;brand=Beats&amp;price=199.95&amp;salePrice=179.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUpMNDFOOUM_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAcWontPTGTRYCuVjrg7tvmNTchk-W7PeK-poP00hEPoM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/6Ij_F5C8sgirfvv8Y0JXqg--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/4053af10-894c-11ee-b7ee-8b6fa48d7f7d" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Billy Steele / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>Our favorite wireless earbuds for working out are a little cheaper than usual for Black Friday.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Beats Fit Pro;pid:amazon_B09JL41N9C;aid:amazon_B09JL41N9C;itemcost:$200;itmId:$159;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$159 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B09JL41N9C&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Beats+Fit+Pro&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B09JL41N9C&amp;brand=Beats&amp;price=199.95&amp;salePrice=179.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUpMNDFOOUM_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAcWontPTGTRYCuVjrg7tvmNTchk-W7PeK-poP00hEPoM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$159 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:44;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Beats Fit Pro;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:44;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUpMNDFOOUM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAfefy67W5NYid8oS6aoySF5f7atB253eAmLEMa9_8Ac0&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09JL41N9C" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Beats Fit Pro</a> is back down to $159, which isn’t an all-time low but is still roughly $20 below its average street price.

Its sound is largely pleasant and even-handed, its ANC is strong enough to be useful and it can stream higher-quality audio if you connect over a USB-C cable. It works well with both iOS and Android, too, though it doesn’t support multi-device pairing on the former. There’s no auto-pausing when you remove the headphones, either, and the design is mostly made of plastic.

They’re now down to $35 for Black Friday, a $15 drop that matches an all-time low. The Echo Buds have a semi-open design, so they let in a good amount of outside noise and can’t produce deep bass, but some will find the shape preferable to a pair that sticks in their ear canals. They can sound perfectly decent with a bit of EQ tweaking, while features like multi-device pairing, wear detection and hands-free Alexa are all nice to have. However, there’s no wireless charging, the battery life (five or so hours per charge) is mediocre and the IPX2 sweat-resistance rating is too weak for the gym. Amazon’s companion app is rather bloated too. But those shouldn’t be deal-breakers for $35.

That ties the lowest price we’ve tracked. The Space A40 tops our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds because it delivers most of the features we expect from headphones that cost twice as much. It’s comfortable, its ANC is genuinely capable, its battery lasts up to 10 hours per charge, its tiny case supports wireless charging and it can pair with two devices at once. Its warm sound will be pleasing enough for most by default, but it can also be customized through a clean companion app. The only major downsides are middling mic quality and a lack of auto-pausing when you remove an earbud.</p><h2>Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC;pid:amazon_B0BZV4QFP8;aid:amazon_B0BZV4QFP8;itemcost:$100;itmId:$70;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$70 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0BZV4QFP8&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Anker+Soundcore+Liberty+4+NC&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0BZV4QFP8&amp;brand=Soundcore&amp;price=99.99&amp;salePrice=69.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQlpWNFFGUDg_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAaAYiyqgfH52hkSYtg_w4NJ5xI8467vfl_UdTw_E47SL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/uHImEGZ6KokHFoGmBmzKVw--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/75dcdd40-894d-11ee-b86e-f9873df2c403" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>This is another all-time low for the runner up in our budget wireless earbuds guide.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC;pid:amazon_B0BZV4QFP8;aid:amazon_B0BZV4QFP8;itemcost:$100;itmId:$70;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$70 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0BZV4QFP8&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Anker+Soundcore+Liberty+4+NC&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0BZV4QFP8&amp;brand=Soundcore&amp;price=99.99&amp;salePrice=69.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQlpWNFFGUDg_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAaAYiyqgfH52hkSYtg_w4NJ5xI8467vfl_UdTw_E47SL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$70 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:53;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:53;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQlpWNFFGUDg_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAcOx_0_Przd1Tm1mlzqH8zwYFcKbjeHR97VqfMevFtOR&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BZV4QFP8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC</a> is the runner up in our budget wireless earbuds guide, as it offers a highly similar feature set as the Space A40 but comes in a larger “stemâ€ design reminiscent of Apple’s AirPods.

It has a hugely bass-forward sound out of the box, but some may enjoy that with hip-hop or EDM and the profile is customizable through the EarFun app. The earpieces are comfortable and fully waterproof, the battery lasts around seven hours, and the suite of touch controls work reliably, which isn’t a given in this price range.

That’s a good way from their all-time low — they very briefly fell to $105 last year — but it’s still $30 or so less than their average selling price in recent months. While the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro aren’t a top pick in any of our guides, they’re worth a look if you use a Galaxy phone, as they can quickly pair with and swap between other Samsung devices (including TVs) and support a higher-quality audio codec on the company’s handsets. More generally, this is one of the better sounding pairs of wireless earphones we’ve tested, with impressive clarity and well-controlled bass, and the buds themselves are both comfortable and waterproof. You can’t connect to two devices at once, however, and the five-hour battery life is poor.

We highlight the Go Air Pop as an honorable mention in our budget wireless earbuds guide. Its IPX4-rated design is light and generally comfortable, its battery lasts around eight or nine hours per charge and, unlike many cheap earphones, its touch controls actually work. Its boomy sound profile won’t win any awards, predictably, but it’s well beyond serviceable for less than $20. JLab even bakes three different EQ presets directly into the earphones. If you’re looking for a cheap backup to your main wireless earphones, this is a great value.</p><h2>Google Pixel Buds Pro</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Google Pixel Buds Pro;pid:manual_4b673b50-007f-4004-b3a6-3e80138a47f5_1700668806180;aid:manual_4b673b50-007f-4004-b3a6-3e80138a47f5_1700668806180;itemcost:$200;itmId:$115;sellerN:Wellbots;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$115 at Wellbots;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Google+Pixel+Buds+Pro&amp;merchantName=Wellbots&amp;brand=Google&amp;price=199.99&amp;salePrice=115.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53ZWxsYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZ29vZ2xlLXBpeGVsLWJ1ZHMtcHJvLWhlYWRwaG9uZXM_dmFyaWFudD00MDM0NjAxNDk0MTIzMiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&amp;signature=AQAAAelpVx_PWQ-IokBDgq4-b7aXZThaUOXTonhr4TRnUQS2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/Tt8XCBD.yVFdg3OuJgXUKg--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/1db7ae30-8950-11ee-96bf-72e2f27978a3" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Billy Steele / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The "best for Android users" pick in our wireless earbuds guide is down to a new low for Black Friday.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Google Pixel Buds Pro;pid:manual_4b673b50-007f-4004-b3a6-3e80138a47f5_1700668806180;aid:manual_4b673b50-007f-4004-b3a6-3e80138a47f5_1700668806180;itemcost:$200;itmId:$115;sellerN:Wellbots;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$115 at Wellbots;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Google+Pixel+Buds+Pro&amp;merchantName=Wellbots&amp;brand=Google&amp;price=199.99&amp;salePrice=115.0&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53ZWxsYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZ29vZ2xlLXBpeGVsLWJ1ZHMtcHJvLWhlYWRwaG9uZXM_dmFyaWFudD00MDM0NjAxNDk0MTIzMiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&amp;signature=AQAAAelpVx_PWQ-IokBDgq4-b7aXZThaUOXTonhr4TRnUQS2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$115 at Wellbots</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Wellbots;elmt:;cpos:67;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Google Pixel Buds Pro;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Wellbots;elmt:;cpos:67;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=f14f6b23-c078-4e53-8011-5b872f886d6b&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Wellbots&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53ZWxsYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZ29vZ2xlLXBpeGVsLWJ1ZHMtcHJvLWhlYWRwaG9uZXM_dmFyaWFudD00MDM0NjAxNDk0MTIzMiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&amp;signature=AQAAAelpVx_PWQ-IokBDgq4-b7aXZThaUOXTonhr4TRnUQS2&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellbots.com%2Fproducts%2Fgoogle-pixel-buds-pro-headphones%3Fvariant%3D40346014941232" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Google Pixel Buds Pro</a> are available for a new low of $115 at Wellbots, which is about $50 off their average street price.

We call the Pixel Buds Pro the best option for Android users in our wireless earbuds buying guide due to their tight integration with the OS (and Google’s Pixel phones in particular).

That’s only $20 off their usual going rate, but we haven’t seen many larger discounts over the past few months. The DT 900 Pro X is a wired pair of open-back headphones designed for critical listening at home. It’s currently the top pick in our guide to the best headphones for gaming, as its wonderfully spacious sound does well to envelop you in the fine details of any given game. Like most open-back cans, it can’t produce truly deep sub-bass, but it delivers enough low-end to give in-game explosions a powerful sense of impact. A set of soft velour earpads keep the whole thing comfortable, though it can’t fold up, and the open design means it won’t block much external noise when you’re outside of the house.</p><h2>Sennheiser HD 560S</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Sennheiser HD 560S;pid:amazon_B08J9MVB6W;aid:amazon_B08J9MVB6W;itemcost:$229;itmId:$150;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$150 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B08J9MVB6W&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Sennheiser+HD+560S&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B08J9MVB6W&amp;brand=Sennheiser+Consumer+Audio&amp;price=229.25&amp;salePrice=149.95&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2dwL3Byb2R1Y3QvQjA4SjlNVkI2Vy9yZWY9b3hfc2NfYWN0X3RpdGxlXzE_c21pZD1BVFZQREtJS1gwREVSJnBzYz0xJnRhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTUyZi0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&amp;signature=AQAAARzokV1zPXGUVzJVVOZxUG3gSh4TPpawj3eKVeKej2Gh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/ae7O2ERXCnD5AOYPK9whJA--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/12855bb0-8951-11ee-a5fd-c1745c107bb3" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>The HD560S is a wired open-back pair we like for gaming and critical listening at home.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Sennheiser HD 560S;pid:amazon_B08J9MVB6W;aid:amazon_B08J9MVB6W;itemcost:$229;itmId:$150;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$150 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B08J9MVB6W&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Sennheiser+HD+560S&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B08J9MVB6W&amp;brand=Sennheiser+Consumer+Audio&amp;price=229.25&amp;salePrice=149.95&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2dwL3Byb2R1Y3QvQjA4SjlNVkI2Vy9yZWY9b3hfc2NfYWN0X3RpdGxlXzE_c21pZD1BVFZQREtJS1gwREVSJnBzYz0xJnRhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTUyZi0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&amp;signature=AQAAARzokV1zPXGUVzJVVOZxUG3gSh4TPpawj3eKVeKej2Gh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$150 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:73;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Sennheiser HD 560S;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:73;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2dwL3Byb2R1Y3QvQjA4SjlNVkI2Vy9yZWY9b3hfc2NfYWN0X3RpdGxlXzE_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAZ05PP4RIpfYu3c5KF28-U3MtY5dJUR0Fo9ZsaeDWoUj&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB08J9MVB6W%2Fref%3Dox_sc_act_title_1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sennheiser HD 560S</a> is another open-back pair of wired headphones we highlight in our gaming headset guide.

It can sometimes sound a little piercing in the treble, it’s not as sturdily built as the DT 900 Pro X and, again, it’ll leak and let in lots of noise.

That’s a $30 discount. This deal bundles the headset with Astro’s MixAmp M80, an optional amp that connects to Xbox controllers and provides various audio controls. Even without the accessory, we like the open-back A40 for providing a wider soundstage than most gaming headsets. It’s not as open or detailed as the Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X or Sennheiser HD 560S, and it misses more detail in the treble range, but it’s immersive, with a slight bass boost gives in-game effects a little extra boom. The headset as a whole looks “gamer-y,â€ but it’s comfortable. And while its built-in mic isn’t the clearest we’ve tested, it’s at least serviceable for basic chat.</p><h2>HyperX Cloud Stinger 2</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:HyperX Cloud Stinger 2;pid:amazon_B0B8PGDMWK;aid:amazon_B0B8PGDMWK;itemcost:$50;itmId:$35;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$35 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0B8PGDMWK&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+2&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0B8PGDMWK&amp;brand=HyperX&amp;price=49.99&amp;salePrice=39.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQjhQR0RNV0s_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZuY1gHRKaa2JNJYez_zDIB5W1xwVL7zkkHNpOtjmvd9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/L7UWzz6srYs_tJQu_UK2aQ--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/88ab5470-8951-11ee-be77-3e6c5ca03cfe" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Jeff Dunn / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>Don't expect incredible sound quality, but the Cloud Stinger 2's high comfort and solid mic performance make it a worthy gaming headset for those on a budget.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:HyperX Cloud Stinger 2;pid:amazon_B0B8PGDMWK;aid:amazon_B0B8PGDMWK;itemcost:$50;itmId:$35;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$35 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B0B8PGDMWK&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+2&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B0B8PGDMWK&amp;brand=HyperX&amp;price=49.99&amp;salePrice=39.99&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQjhQR0RNV0s_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZuY1gHRKaa2JNJYez_zDIB5W1xwVL7zkkHNpOtjmvd9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$35 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>If all you want is a decent gaming headset for as little as possible, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:80;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:HyperX Cloud Stinger 2;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:80;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQjhQR0RNV0s_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAYysrXXy5TCb0l3URDh-1ycomMKdbIF6BFzkFlpvzU83&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0B8PGDMWK" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HyperX Cloud Stinger 2</a> is worth considering at $35.

Its battery life clocks in at 30 to 35 hours per charge, which is decent but not great.</p><h2>Shokz OpenRun Pro</h2><div><div><div><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Shokz OpenRun Pro ;pid:amazon_B09BVXT8TJ;aid:amazon_B09BVXT8TJ;itemcost:$180;itmId:$125;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$125 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B09BVXT8TJ&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Shokz+OpenRun+Pro+&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B09BVXT8TJ&amp;brand=SHOKZ&amp;price=179.95&amp;salePrice=179.95&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUJWWFQ4VEo_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZaCVVY2xlIralBQzaZL-Czs4SU4HMDw34SQNBFa9G7A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img data-src="https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/EICIH8ygA8ZTRwJst2KHMA--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-11/4ba210e0-8952-11ee-93d9-7fd7d7018520" height="720" width="1280"></img></a></p><p>Photo by Jon Turi / Engadget</p></div></div><div><p>If you want a pair of headphones that <em>don't </em>totally shut you out from the outside world, the bone-conducting Shokz OpenRun Pro are worth a look.</p><p><a data-ylk="sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;pdid:Shokz OpenRun Pro ;pid:amazon_B09BVXT8TJ;aid:amazon_B09BVXT8TJ;itemcost:$180;itmId:$125;sellerN:Amazon;cpos:1;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;slk:$125 at Amazon;pkgt:horizontal-cta;pos:4" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;itemId=amazon_B09BVXT8TJ&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;featureId=product-url&amp;itemName=Shokz+OpenRun+Pro+&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;itemSourceId=B09BVXT8TJ&amp;brand=SHOKZ&amp;price=179.95&amp;salePrice=179.95&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUJWWFQ4VEo_dGg9MSZ0YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby01MmYtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZaCVVY2xlIralBQzaZL-Czs4SU4HMDw34SQNBFa9G7A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$125 at Amazon</a></p></div></div><p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:84;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Shokz OpenRun Pro;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:84;pos:1;itc:0" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUJWWFQ4VEo_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAR8ekgoiWe_XdWk4JPQGrExP42Aji2KEHTwjW7sXMOrX&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09BVXT8TJ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Shokz OpenRun Pro</a> is back down to $125 for Black Friday, which is $25 more than its all-time low but $55 less than its usual street price. These are bone conduction headphones, which means they go around the side of your head and deliver sound via vibrations to your skull. If you want to listen to music and podcasts without totally blocking the outside world, they might make sense. The flipsides are that they’re harder to use in noisier areas and, generally speaking, not as full-sounding as traditional in-ear headphones.
