Beats, Sony, and Sennheiser offer big discounts on noise-canceling headphones

Noise-canceling headphones are perfect for tuning out the outside world. A combination of design and technology reduces ambient noise, making listening to music a more immersive experience. There’s only one problem though: more often than not, they’re quite expensive — arguably too expensive for many of us. $300 or $400 is a lot to spend on headphones, for sure.

Good news, though: We found great deals on a few noise-canceling headphones from companies with a proven track record of quality. Some of the deals this weekend on Amazon and Walmart include headphones from Sony, Beats, and Sennheiser.

Sony WH-XB900N

While they’re not the arguably market-leading WH-1000XM3’s, the Sony WH-XB900N headphones are still a solid alternative with decent sound at a great price. 30-hour battery life makes them perfect for all-day listening, and there’s the option to use them as wired headphones when you run out of battery power. A foldable, lightweight design makes the WH-XB900N not only ultra-portable but comfortable as well.

Normally $350, the WH-XB900N is currently $250 at Amazon, or $41.66 per month at 0% interest when you use the Amazon Prime Card.

Think $250 is too much to pay for a pair of headphones, but still want quality? Walmart has the Sony WH-CH700N noise-cancelling headphones on sale for just $128. While the noise-canceling here is not as good as some of its higher-end siblings, it’s still surprisingly good for its price.

Beats Studio 3

Beats’ ever-popular Solo3 headphones aren’t the best when it comes to sound quality. But the company has done a good job at improving one of its biggest negatives in the Studio3 and added noise-cancelling to boot. Like the Solo3, they’re comfortable to wear, and the larger over-ear cups aid in eliminating outside ambient noise.

Right now, Walmart has the lowest prices on the Studio3, with select models as cheap as $260. But act fast, many of the cheapest have fewer than 10 sets left.

Sennheiser PXC 550

The Sennheiser PXC 550 headphones have been around for a long time — three years to be exact. But their staying power is a testament to their quality: Both the noise-cancelling and sound quality rival that of the most high-end noise-canceling headphones out there. It comes down to personal preference, but some do appreciate the smaller earcups of the PXC 550s over other competitors.

Normally $350, Amazon is selling these headphones for just $230.

Sony WH-1000XM3 -- $278, was $350

The new and improved WH-1000XM3 is Sony’s premium noise-canceling headphones offering and our choice for the best headphones of 2020. They’ve got a lot going for them. First is how cool they look. Sony got rid of the rugged, leathery finish around the earcups and replaced it with a new plastic chassis, making for a far sleeker silhouette. The change in material made the WH-1000XM3 more lightweight and slender, enhancing wearability. Plus, the swivel design of the earcups guarantees supreme comfort. The cups are ergonomically padded and made even larger for bigger ears, and the material is nicely breathable, so you won’t feel uncomfortably hot even after long wear.

The cheapest option on our list is the Sony WH-XB900N. It’s only one step behind Sony’s premier noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM3, and, coupled with a $70 discount, it costs over a hundred dollars less with more or less the same features. As it says in the name, the WH-XB900N comes with Active Noise Canceling capabilities that automatically filter out all incoming noise so you can focus on your audio and only your audio. The Adaptive Sound Control technology can also adjust its noise filter according to what you’re doing, so you don’t miss out on any announcements or incoming traffic, or get distracted by engine purrs and moving trains.
