The AirPods Pro are Apple’s most advanced pair of wireless earbuds to date, and one of, if not the most, popular pair on the market right now. Named one of our favorite wireless earbuds of the year, they have active noise cancellation, which the AirPods 3 do not, as well as adaptive EQ and Siri compatibility. Prices on the AirPods Pro shift pretty regularly, but $174 is one of the lowest we’ve seen in a while.

The Sony WH-XB910N over-ear headphones are a slight step down from the WH-1000XM4 pair that made our list of the best headphones for the year, but they also cost nearly $200 less. They’re one of our favorite pairs of Sony headphones on the market right now and come packed full of features that make them a bargain at $178. They’re an “Extra Bass” model, so they support deep, rich low-end frequencies, and are equipped with a digital sound enhancement engine for upscaled high-quality audio. They also have impressive noise-canceling capabilities with dual mics on both ear cups, and a battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge.

Even on sale, the AirPods Max are pretty pricey, but they do have the build quality to back it up.

They also feature some of the absolute best noise-canceling capabilities on the market right now.
