UPDATE: Nov. 29, 2021, 8:10 p.m. EST This story has been updated to include the latest pricing and deals from Apple, Beats, Bose, and more. Check out our top picks of the best deals.

BEST DEAL AT AMAZON: Apple AirPods Max are some premium wireless headphones with noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and spatial audio; they’ve never been this cheap before — $479 ~~$549~~ (save $70)
BEST DEAL AT WALMART: Bose QuietComfort 45 Noise-Canceling Headphones, the latest model in the Bose headphone universe — $279 ~~$329~~ (save $50)
BEST DEAL AT BEST BUY: Google Pixel Buds A-Series offer equally great sound and a comparatively comfortable fit as last year’s Pixel Buds (but for a fraction of the price) — $79.99 ~~$99.99~~ (save 20%) + 3 months of YouTube Premium for free
BEST DEAL AT TARGET: Sony MDR-ZX110 Wired On-Ear Headphones — $10 headphones. What more can we say? — $9.99 ~~$24.99~~ (save $15)

From $59 Samsung Galaxy Buds+ to $429 AirPods Max, deep discounts on headphones and earbuds were some of the stars of this year’s early holiday sales.

For Cyber Monday, retailers across the board have been dropping prices on audio gear from big-name brands like Apple, Beats, Bose, Samsung, and Sennheiser.

It’s not just older models, either: Even the new AirPods 3, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Google Pixel Buds A-Series, and Bose QuietComfort 45s have seen notable price drops for the shopping season.

You’ll notice that most major retailers are matching each other’s prices (with very few exceptions), which is great; if something sells out on Amazon, for example, you’ll usually be able to find it at Best Buy or Walmart.

Please note: All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨. Anything with a ~~strikeout~~ was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price as of this writing, but check back often — we’re updating this page constantly.

Our pick: Apple AirPods Max

$479 on Amazon (save $70)

Why we like them

We really like these headphones — they’ve got best-in-class noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and spatial audio — but we also really like the fact that they’re on sale. Amazon previously had the sky blue and space gray ones on sale for just $429 (or $120 off), which was their lowest price to date, but they have either gone out of stock or up in price (at least at the time of writing this).

Best headphones deals at Walmart

Our pick: Bose QuietComfort 45 Noise-Canceling Headphones

$279 at Walmart (save $50)

Why we like them

Bose’s latest addition to the QuietComfort headphone universe is a worthy upgrade from the old version. It features “Quiet” and “Aware” modes, so you can select how much outside noise you want to hear, and has a longer battery life than the predecessor (24 hours on a single charge versus 20).

Our pick: Google Pixel Buds A-Series

$79.99 at Best Buy (save $20) + 3 months of YouTube Premium for free

Why we like them

“There’s no reason to get last year’s [$180] Pixel Buds anymore,” says Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry — the new Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds offer the same “very good audio and comfortable form factor,” but retail for just $100. They’re now even cheaper than usual thanks to Best Buy’s 20% Black Friday discount, which it tops off with a free three-month trial of YouTube Premium just for kicks.
