A vast array of headphones are available in the market, including in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, wired, and wireless ones, but true budget earbuds and headphones can sometimes be a little less than desirable.

Good true wireless earbuds are few and far between, and only a few brands seem to have cracked the code to make the best earbuds with noise cancellation.

You can pick up these earbuds for less than half as much. Amazon Prime Day has dropped their price to just $65, translating into $85 in savings.

Ultimate comfort and noise cancellation at a better price
best true wireless earbuds on the market come with active noise cancellation (ANC), so you can savor every note, even in the most crowded and noisy places.

Our favorite Sony headphones are down to an all-time low for Prime Day
At under $330, some of Sony’s best ANC headphones are worth picking up today
Amazon's annual Prime Day shopping festival is officially underway, and we're already seeing some ridiculous deals on items that usually don't receive this treatment. Audio deals, in particular, are immensely popular on Prime Day, given that some products, like Sony's top-of-the-line WH-1000XM5, aren't always on sale. But that's changing now, with Amazon currently offering these high-end ANC headphones with a $72 discount on the asking price. While we've seen deals on these headphones before, this is the cheapest yet.

Our favorite wireless earbuds are down to $198
It's been more than two years since Sony released the WF-1000XM4 earbuds, and they are still our top pick for the best wireless earbuds in 2023. They offer clear, crisp sound, with plenty of EQ settings to tweak, top-of-the-class noise cancellation, and all the features you'd want or expect from a pair of premium headphones. Our biggest gripe with the product has always been the extraordinarily-high price tag, but today's $80 Prime Day deal knocks the XM4s down into the range as most of their competitors.

Find the best speakers to bring that Chrome-powered computer alive
Even the best Chromebooks don’t do much to inspire in the audio department. Although whatever speakers they employ are good enough while working on the go, when you’re home you want some great speakers to bring the music alive. If you’ve decided to go the Chromebox route, you probably already know that they don’t produce sound at all, so speakers are a must.
The Nothing Ear 2 now come in a sleek black color option
This new version boasts 'a new smoky and matte finish'
While a relatively new tech startup, Nothing proved that it's finally mature enough to keep its devices on a regular update cycle. The company demonstrates this not only with the Nothing Phones but also with the Nothing Ear wireless headsets, which were its first line of products.

The earbuds have now received a fresh coat of paint with the same specs and price.
