If you’re looking for wireless noise-cancelling headphones, Sony’s last-gen. but still potent WH-1000XM4 ($228, regularly $349) is a good pickup, as is the premium, sound- and software-rich Shure AONIC 50 ($249, usually $299). If you want the convenience of Bluetooth but don’t need ANC, the Edifier STAX Spirit S3 Wireless Planar Magnetic Headphones, on sale for $319 (regularly $399), feature driver technology from industry innovator Audeze that delivers a rich, rounded, ultra-wide 10Hz – 40kHz response, particularly on Android devices with an aptX HD/Adaptive connection. If you take an old-school approach to audio purity, or just want to dabble in audiophile, both the Meze Audio 99 Classics closed-back headphones ($229, regularly $309) and Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX open-back headphones ($179, regularly $279) will get you wired and manage to both be affordable and deliver excellent, non-fatiguing imaging. (You can even upgrade the Meze Audio experience for less, with silver-plated copper balanced cables available for $60-$90, regularly $129.99. Or just go all-in on the flagship Meze Audio Empyrean open-back Isodynamic hybrid planar magnetic headphones at $2,399, down from $2,999.) In terms of earbuds, our choice for the best overall noise-cancelling earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, are at a record low of $249 (regularly $299) after only a few months on the market. While Bose is the king of background noise suppression tech, the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Earbuds, available for $199.95 (regularly $249.95), pairs ANC with a musicality that just makes you forget the rest of the world exists. Those are just a few highlights that had us perking up our ears. We’ve collected dozens more below—including both headphones and earphones that go for under $100 to several thousand—and we’ll continue to update this list whenever we find gear that’s going for a song. But remember, Black Friday deals can’t be put on repeat, so if you see something that slaps quickly snap it up! [Looking for picks with more kick? Our Black Friday speaker deals have you covered.]
