TL;DR (Too Long, Deals Right-Here)
The Bose QuietComfort Headphones offer excellent active noise cancellation and a refined audio signature in a comfortable fit. They earned an "Excellent" 4 out of 5 rating from PCMag for rich, crisp audio and a slick companion app, among other features. Get them for 34% off on Prime Day.
Anker’s Soundcore lineup is a favorite among PCMag reviewers. The Space A40 earphones deliver quality active noise cancellation and balanced, detailed audio, earning them an Editors’ Choice award for the under-$100 category. Get them in black, blue, or white. (Their predecessor, the Anker Soundcore Life P3, another Editors’ Choice pick, are also on sale.)
If you’re looking to jump into the Apple ecosystem without breaking the bank, the company’s AirPods are on sale across the board. Our top pick: the AirPods Pro, which earn an “Outstanding” 4.5 out of 5 rating and an Editors’ Choice award thanks to their exceptional noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and USB-C case. (On the high end, you can also save on the over-ear AirPods Max, or go old-school with the wired, USB-C EarPods for just $17, an 11% discount.)
Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones pair top-notch noise cancellation with class-leading audio quality in a comfortable, attractive design. As we noted in our review, "the earcups catch the light in interesting ways with their matte surfaces and sharp edges, and look even better in person than in photos." They earned an "Outstanding" 4.5 out of 5 score from us and an Editors' Choice award for audiophiles.
Marshall's Major IV are comfortable, no-nonsense over-ear headphones with a retro rock amp look and easy-to-use controls. In our tests, we found they deliver deep bass and bright highs in a user-friendly design for a reasonable price. And they're even cheaper for Prime Day at almost 50% off.
