As streaming content - from shows, music, and audiobooks, on the go has become the norm, headphones and earbuds have arguably gone from accessory to necessity. Personally, I remember to grab my earbuds more often than my keys before leaving the house, as they're my constant concentration companion for work, or movement motivator for working out.

More of the latest headphone and earbud Cyber Monday deals

Based on price monitoring and testing experience, here are more headphone and in-ear bud deals we found today.

Best Cyber Monday AirPods deals

Arguably, AirPods have made constantly wearing wireless headphones mainstream. Both the in-ear buds' cut-off stem style and the over-ear mesh-band of the Max have become iconic street or office wear. Of course, they also sound great. While this luxury in style and sound usually comes with the 'Apple tax,' right now they're on sale for some great prices this Cyber Monday, so stock up while you still can.

Apple AirPods Pro 2
Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation (USB-C)
$190 $249 Save $59

Boasting the universal USB-C charging port like the new iPhone 15 series, 2nd-Gen AirPods Pro 2 carry both great sound quality and convenience. In our review, we particularly noted the same great ANC the predecessor delivered as well as the clear quality and full bass-y tone. Easily fitting into your pocket or purse, these are a great portable gift for any Apple or iPhone lover this holiday season, so grab them while they're on sale.

Airpods Pro 2nd Gen USB-C
Apple AirPods Pro 2
$190 $250 Save $60

The first iteration of the AirPods Pro 2 (confusing, I know) delivers excellent noise-cancellation and transparency mode, which impressed us loads in our review, but still features the Lightning port (rather than USB-C) that Apple is slowly but surely moving away from.

Apple Airpods Max
Apple AirPods Max
$450 $549 Save $99

With a mesh headband and metal build, the AirPods Max are sturdy, durable, and arguably fashionable. Like the in-ear buds, we found that Apple's over-ear offering delivers solid ANC, surround-sound Spatial Audio, and comfortable fit. In fact, as I write this deal, I'm listening to mine right now and missed hearing the doorbell with a Black Friday package here already.

While these buds aren't the newest Apple in-ear offering on the market, the 2nd-Gen AirPods are still a solid option - earning a 4 out of 5 in our 2019 review. Fitting snugly within your ears, they deliver clear audio, up to 24 hours of listening time, and Apple's capable H1 chip. Now, they're down to $80 on Amazon, which is even less than they dipped for Black Friday.

Best Cyber Monday Beats deals

Beats by Dr. Dre features Apple's technology, but typically not the hefty prices - and now even less-so thanks to these deals.

Beats Studio Pro-2
Beats Studio Pro
$170 $350 Save $180

Succeeding the Beats Studio Wireless 3, the Studio Pro bring some great updates, including 40 hour battery life, Apple's Spatial Audio, and Dynamic Head Tracking for a more surround-sound experience. Additionally, they feature what we found to be great ANC, crisp sound quality, and a folding headband very conducive for traveling.

Beats Studio 3

$169 $350 Save $181

The Beats Studio 3 might be 2017's flagship Beats over-ears, but with Apple's W1 chip, it doesn't mean they're no longer capable. In fact, when we reviewed the headphones, we were especially impressed with their "ultra-long battery life and comfortable design." So if you're looking for a solid, reliable pair of over-ear cans you can wear for hours on end, we recommend taking advantage of this deal.
