As a headphones reviewer who’s also covered the past two years of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, I knew that the seasonally themed sale could bring some decent tech savings, even if they weren’t quite Prime Day-worthy.
Still, I didn’t expect the noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals to be as good as they are. On the final day of the weeklong Amazon sale, a new markdown on the last-gen Sony WH-1000XM5s has joined existing deals on Bose QuietComfort headphones, the Apple AirPods Pro 3, and the JLab JBuds Lux ANC, our favorite budget cans. (Plus, Amazon has revived its preorder discount on the new AirPods Max 2.) If you haven’t added anything to your cart just yet, you still have plenty of options.

That said: The Big Spring Sale ends at 11:59 p.m. PT tonight (March 31), so time is running out. For some buying guidance, I’ve rounded up my absolute favorite noise-cancelling headphone and earbud deals below.

Why we like it
They may not be the flashiest headphones from the brand, but the regular QuietComforts feel like quintessential Bose. They’re comfortable, have sound quality on par with more expensive headphones, and excellent ANC. They lack the spatial audio features or fancier design of their Ultra counterparts, but at $249 on sale, they’re also about $200 less, making them an excellent option if you want something nicer than budget headphones, but don’t want to drop $400 or more. When Mashable’s Sam Mangino tested them for our guide of Bose headphones, she wrote, “I was pleasantly surprised at just how incredible they are.” As a bonus, they have replaceable ear cups, making them great for future proofing.
