Owning a great pair of noise-canceling in-ear headphones makes a huge difference to your daily life. Whether you’re at work and want to block out the sounds around you, or you’re exercising and want to hear your favorite songs in the best way, they’re a worthwhile investment. Right now, you can buy the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless noise-canceling in-ear headphones for $50 off the usual price, or the Apple AirPods Pro for $30 off the usual price. Here’s everything you need to know.

Sony WF-1000XM3 — $180, was $230

Ordinarily priced at $230, Best Buy has reduced the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless noise-canceling in-ear headphones to only $180. You even get 3 months of Tidal thrown in for free too.

These noise-canceling earbuds are well regarded in the field thanks to their advanced HD noise-canceling processor ensuring that all distracting background noise is blocked out so you can focus on your work or studies. On a full charge, you can enjoy 6 hours of power with the charging case offering a further three charges before you need to find a power source. That’s 24 hours of enjoying your music with minimal hassle!

When you do run low on power, a 10-minute quick charge in the charging case will provide you with up to 90 minutes of playtime so you can get back to enjoying your favorite tracks fast. Google Assistant support is also included making the whole experience all the more convenient.

Apple AirPods Pro — $250, was $220

While the Woot! deal that meant you could grab Apple AirPods Pro for only $210 has ended, you can still get them at Verizon for $220. With a $30 savings, it’s one of the best AirPods deals out there at the moment.

Apple AirPods Pro are Apple’s best headphones yet. They offer active noise cancellation along with adaptive EQ so that the music is automatically tuned to the shape of your ears for a superior listening experience. Active noise cancellation means you can enjoy the experience whether you’re at home or on your daily commute, canceling out all unwanted noises as you enjoy.

Battery life is a little lower than some wireless earphones with 4.5 hours of listening possible but the charging case bumps that up to 24 hours overall until you need to find a power source. Siri support means you can easily control what you’re listening to without having to touch a thing.

Apple AirPods Max are $50 off in Amazon’s Prime Day in October sale

Discounts on Apple products aren't too common. Retailers know that the demand for devices like AirPods will always be high. Fortunately, they all relax a little bit when events like Prime Day come around. For instance, Amazon has dropped the price of the Apple AirPods Max to $499 from their usual $549. Don't hesitate to grab them because Prime Day deals are only lost until Wednesday night.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
There's a lot to say about the Apple AirPods Max, the least of which is that they have excellent audio thanks to Apple's H1 audio chip, which each cup has. Having so many chips on there means you get some fancy features, such as spatial audio and industry-leading ANC. As for audio fidelity, it's very clear, although not as punchy as something like the Sony WH-1000XM4, which isn't to say it isn't as deep; it has excellent bass but doesn't have the same mid-range boost as the XM4. As for the treble range, it's similarly clear and sparkly without being too tinny sounding, which makes it easier when listening to brass instruments, so it's great if you're into jazz or classical music. One thing to note is that you might get different listening experiences depending on whether ANC is on or off, but that seems to vary significantly by person.
