AirPods Max deals from Apple
If you’re looking for the best sound quality you can get in noise canceling headphones, we recommend the AirPods Max. The headphones pair seamlessly with other Apple devices and they sound great, especially when paired with Apple’s Spatial Audio feature, which makes for a more immersive experience when listening to or viewing compatible content. They also have the best transparency mode of any of the headphones on our list, and they have incredible build quality thanks to a deluxe design that opts for aluminum, steel, and fabric over plastic.
With an MSRP of $549, the AirPods Max can be quite expensive, but they often retail for much less. For example, right now the headphones are down to $479.99 Amazon, Best BuyAnd Costco (members only). Do you live near one Microcenter, you can also buy them for $469.99 in select colors. Read our review.
Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 deals
If you plan to regularly use your headset for voice calls, Bose noise canceling headphones 700 are the best option on this list to do this. They boast excellent call quality, meaning everyone in your Zoom call can hear you loud and clear, and they offer great noise cancellation with satisfying sound. Like the QC45, the over-ears can be connected to two devices at the same time, but they don’t fold and only offer 20 hours of battery life, which is also less than other headphones on this list.
We’ve seen several discounts on the 700 over the past year, but right now the best deal is only available at walmartwhere you can buy them for $329 instead of $379. Best Buy also offers the same price to TotalTech subscribers, i.e. those who subscribe to the retailer’s premium membership. Read our review.
Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4 deals
If you’re looking for noise canceling headphones with great battery life, Sennheiser’s Momentum Wireless 4 are your best option. These headphones last up to 60 hours on a single charge. They also sound great, offer multipoint Bluetooth connectivity and match the comfort of the Sony WH-1000XM5 – our favorite noise canceling headphones. They may not have physical controls or the classy, ​​retro-inspired design that their predecessor had, but they do offer improved noise cancellation (even if it’s not quite on par with Sony or Bose).
The Momentum Wireless 4 usually retails for $349.99, but now you can buy them in black at Amazon for $294 ($86 off). Read our review.
Marshall Monitor II ANC Deals
For those looking for stylish noise canceling headphones, you are sure to turn heads with the Marshall Monitor II ANC. The Monitor IIs stand out for their unique look and come with a gold joystick that makes it easy to control your headphones. They provide a warm, textured sound and adequately dampen ambient noise. While they may not match some of the other headphones on this list in terms of noise canceling effectiveness or sound quality, they can last up to 45 hours with the noise canceling turned off. If insisted, they will still last up to 30 hours and beat many of their rivals.
Right now you can buy the Marshall Monitor II ANC for $299.99 instead of $319.99 from Best Buy. That’s a modest discount and a far cry from their all-time low, but still a rare drop in price.

Beats Studio 3 Wireless Deals
While we can’t recommend these to anyone outside of the Apple ecosystem, the Beats Studio 3 wireless could be a good alternative if you want over-ear headphones for an Apple device but find the AirPods Max too expensive. The Beats Studio 3 is comfortable to wear, folds in for easy storage and features Apple’s latest generation W1 wireless chip, which still allows you to quickly connect and switch between Apple devices. Keep in mind, though, that unlike those built with Apple’s newer H1 chip, the headphones don’t have hands-free Siri support. They also charge via a Micro USB port instead of a Lightning port or USB-C.
