APPLE AIRPODS DEALS

If you own an iPhone or multiple Apple products in general, the AirPods Pro are likely the best true wireless earbuds on the market for you. Unlike the base AirPods, the Pro variant has better sound quality and features noise cancellation.

Apple’s flagship Pro wireless earbuds tend to go on sale frequently, and we often see them drop as low as $200. But the best deal right now on a brand-new pair is $190 at Woot. You can also get them at this price at Best Buy, but they will be Geek Squad Certified Refurbished instead of brand-new.

Additionally, the AirPods Pro are currently $200 new at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. You can also get them for $220 at B&H Photo.

Apple’s flagship earbuds improve on the regular AirPods with better sound quality, excellent active noise cancellation, and immersive spatial audio.

Alternatively, you can buy a pair of second-generation AirPods. The entry-level model includes a wired charging case. Usually retailing for $160, you can get them for $120 at Amazon and Walmart or for $125 at Target.

For a few dollars more, you can get a new pair of AirPods with a wireless charging case. At their regular price of $200, they aren’t as good of a value, but you’ll rarely find yourself paying the usual price. At the moment, they are $150 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

SAMSUNG GALAXY BUDS DEALS

Samsung has a few different wireless earbuds to choose from, including its latest flagship wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro. These earbuds include active noise cancellation and the best sound quality yet for Samsung earbuds.

There are no current deals available for the Galaxy Buds Pro, but you can buy a pair for the usual retail price of $200 at several retailers, including Samsung, Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo.

The Galaxy Buds Plus were our top pick last year as the best wireless earbuds overall. A successor to the Galaxy Buds, the Plus model extends the battery life by up to 11 hours and, unlike AirPods, comes in different color options.

Right now, you can get a pair for $110 at Samsung’s direct website in addition to Amazon and Best Buy.

The Galaxy Buds Plus are a successor to the Galaxy Buds. The biggest change from this model is that the battery life is nearly doubled compared to the Galaxy Buds.

The Galaxy Buds Live are some of the more unconventional wireless earbuds on the market right now — but don’t let their bean-shaped design fool you. These are a good option if you want earbuds that produce a powerful sound and include lengthy battery life.

Right now, these bean-shaped buds are $140 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung.

OTHER TRUE WIRELESS EARBUD DEALS

Compared to the competition, Jabra’s wireless earbuds have a rare feature that has yet to become standard in the true wireless earbud market: the ability to connect to two devices concurrently. Ideally, this is great for users who switch between two devices often (like, say, a phone and a laptop).

Last year, Jabra released the Elite 85t wireless earbuds, which are the highest-tier model in Jabra’s lineup. They have more advanced noise cancellation than the 75t. Although no deals are available now, you can buy the Jabra Elite 85t for their normal price of $230 at Jabra, Amazon, and Best Buy.

If a $230 price tag is intimidating but you want a pair of Jabra earbuds, the Elite 75t are also a good option, and they see regular price cuts. The Jabra 75t are our pick for the best true wireless earbuds that are ideal for the multitasker in your life. They’re a solid alternative if you don’t want to buy AirPods.

You can buy a pair in titanium black for only $130 at both Amazon and Best Buy.

A successor to the 65t wireless earbuds, they feature a new design, better battery life, and noticeably improved sound quality.

If you are in the market for a reliable pair of wireless earbuds for your workouts, you can’t go wrong with the Beats Powerbeats Pro. These earbuds have an over-ear hook that keeps them in place during intense exercises. They’re also IPX4 sweat and water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about sweat ruining them should your workout get intense.

There are a few different discounts available for the Powerbeats Pro. The lowest we currently see is at Best Buy for $160 in either red or yellow. The next best deal is at Newegg, which has pair in black for $180.

Amazon has select colors (black, pink, ivory, and navy blue) on sale for $200. Additionally, Apple (Beats’ parent company) has a $50 discount on all colors, bringing the price down to $200.
