For a brand known for its top-of-the-line noise-canceling headphones and earbuds, releasing a pair designed to let noise in would always be risky. Bose took a big swing with the Ultra Open earbuds, the brand’s first pair of open ear earbuds — and we think the risk paid off.

As of June 2024, we're in the process of testing more budget-friendly ANC earbuds, and have added the Beats Fit Pro as our recommendation for the best workout earbuds. We're still testing out more exercise-oriented buds and are looking at more affordable options. Should we find them, we'll update this guide accordingly.

Right now, you can snag the Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones for just $159. That's a whopping 55% off their normal price. You can also get the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II for almost $100 off, or $10 off the latest AirPods 4 .

Prime Day sale is next week, but plenty of hot headphone deals are already available from brands like Apple, JBL, Beats, Sennheiser, Bose, and more.

You know what sounds awesome? Amazon is pumping up the volume on its audio deals—we're talking Bluetooth and wireless speakers—even before Prime Big Deal Days officially kicks off.
