The new Fitbit Flyer headphones allow you to jam out without a smartphone

Leading global wearable brand Fitbit is stepping into the world of audio, announcing the launch of the Fitbit Flyer, the company’s first wireless headphones. The new in-ear device coincides with the announcement of the Fitbit Ionic smartwatch, which allows on-wrist storage of music, with the two new devices combining to allow you to listen to your favorite music during strenuous workouts without a smartphone in tow.

The new headphones feature a sweatproof design and customizable fit, via a series of interchangeable tips and sport fins. They also offer two sound profiles for a personalized listening experience — one with boosted bass called Power Boost, and a flatter profile called Signature. Beyond music playback, the Flyer will offer audio coaching via the Fitbit Coach app, helping listeners increase endurance, speed, and stamina without looking at a screen.

“As we launch our first smartwatch with on-device music, providing quality wireless headphones to better help users reach their goals is a natural extension of our product offerings,” Fitbit co-founder and CEO James Park said in a press release about the new headphones.

“Coupled with research that shows 64 percent of fitness tracker owners are interested in purchasing wireless headphones, it makes sense for us to bring our unparalleled health and fitness expertise to this space to deliver what our consumers are looking for most: Great fit they can count on all day and for any workout, along with high-quality sound to keep them motivated.”

Fans of the wearable brand will likely jump at the opportunity to integrate their entire workout experience under one brand, especially given the built-in compatibility between the new Ionic smartwatch and the new wireless in-ear headphones.

The Flyer feature six hours of playback time, with a 15-minute quick-charge feature that provides an hour of juice in a jiffy. They also offer multidevice connectivity, which means you can connect the new headphones to your watch and phone at the same time. In addition, a two microphone setup helps phone calls come through with increased clarity.

The Fitbit Flyer is currently available for pre-order on Fitbit’s website, and will hit retail stores for the first time this October. They will retail for $130.

Sonos Ace with a Sonos Arc.

One of the best things about wearing noise-canceling headphones is the great deal of comfort they bring when in loud, chaotic environments. However, they need to really fit around your head to get that seal, which can lead to some comfort issues. If you're the type that wants to float away into your music or studies, then the Sonos Ace are your absolute best bet, and they are the headphones we consider to be the overall best noise-canceling headphones for comfort. Unfortunately, they're usually $449, the same price as the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6. Now, however, in a deal you can find at any major retailer, they're discounted by $120, making them just $329. Tap the appropriate button below to make your purchase or keep reading to see just how comfortable the Sonos Ace are, and learn about the special link they have with the best soundbar Sonos makes.

Our favorite budget ANC headphones just got even more affordable
Side view of the 1More SonoFlow.

Whether you're wanting to start studying a language, determine if now is the right time to start that business, or just want to finish the chapter in whatever book your eReader is holding, silence is power. ANC, or Active Noise Cancelation, can help you get it. Even without music pumping into your ears the headphones pick up the surrounding sounds in your area and feed you the opposite waves, canceling out the noise.

But the best noise-canceling headphones are typically quite expensive, with premium pairs easily costing $250 or more. If you need some bonus focus but don't have that kind of money lying around for headphones, you'll need to browse through budget headphones instead. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram that cross budget and quality ANC is incredibly narrow, leaving you few choices. One of choices, and our favorite among budget picks, is even more of a clear pick today — it's on sale. Tap the button below to see the 1More SonoFlow at a price of just $60, which is $15 down from their usual $75, or keep reading to see why we think they're the budget ANC headphones for you.
