From Beats to Bose and Sennheiser to Sony, we’ve rounded up all the best headphone deals you can shop today — and because retailers like Amazon and Best Buy started their Black Friday deals earlier than ever, most of the products we’ve featured also at their lowest-ever prices in time for the holiday season. A word to the wise, though: There’s a global microchip shortage at the moment and manufacturers aren’t able to keep up with demand for must-have items like headphones, so the best Black Friday headphone deals won’t sit around for long, so if there’s something you have your eye on shop now to avoid disappointment.

How to choose headphones
The secret to scoring a fantastic deal on pair of headphones is patience and preparation. Decide on the type of headphones you’re after and any must-have features (a set of wireless headphones with noise canceling technology, for example) before starting your search. Better yet, tunnel in on the specific cans you want. This will dramatically increase your chances of taking them home.
Of course, that’s a lot easier said than done. If you’re shopping on a budget, chances are you’re going to go with the first set within reach. As long as you know whether you’re after noise-canceling, wired, wireless, or true wireless, this won’t be an issue — because we’ve vetted all of the products featured above, so you can find comfort in knowing they’re the crème de la crème.
Just keep in mind that when it comes to headphones you get what you pay for. A $50 set of cans from a budget manufacturer like Anker or JBL aren’t going to sound the same as a $350 high-end pair from an audio titan like Sony, nor will they have the same noise-canceling chops. But that’s to be expected: Not everyone wants the best in the business. It’s all relative to the user.
These rules don’t just apply to big seasonal sales, either. They’re the fundamentals of bagging a bargain on any pair of headphones. Luckily, we’ve done all the hard work for you. By shopping through Digital Trends, though, you can rest assured you’re seeing the best headphones at each price point. All of the headphone deals above have been vetted by our team of product experts.
Should you buy headphones now or wait until Black Friday?
It’s a known fact that Black Friday deals bring some steep discounts on headphones. With a little more than a month to go until the annual shopping bonanza, we’d recommend holding out for the slew of Black Friday headphone deals we’re inevitably going to see on must-have models like the Bose 700 and the Sony WH-1000XM4.
We strive to help our readers find the best deals on quality products and services, and we choose what we cover carefully and independently.
