A good pair of earbuds combines noise cancellation, a comfortable fit and a multi-hour battery life. But these earbuds can easily cost you around $200, which can be a big investment for some. That’s where earbud deals come in, making it easier to shop top options at better prices.

I’ve owned a pair of these earbuds for over a year and can safely say they have some of the best noise cancellation on the market — they’re also a Select favorite. Switch between active noise canceling and transparency modes, depending on how much background noise you want to let through, and customize your fit with the four available ear tips. There’s also spatial audio available, which makes your music sound like it’s coming from all around you for a fuller surround-sound experience.
