Despite Black Friday being a few days away, the holiday’s deals are already in full swing — particularly if you’re in the market for noise-canceling headphones.
Right now, all the biggest names in noise-canceling headphones — Sony, Bose, Apple and Sonos — all have their flagship models discounted. But they’re not just discounted a little bit. They’re all at their lowest-ever prices.
Sony’s, Bose’s and Sonos’s flagship noise-canceling cans are all $100 off — the latter two have never been discounted this much before. And Apple’s just-released AirPods Max, which now charge via USB-C, are discounted for the first time.
Yes, it’s officially the best time of year to buy noise-canceling headphones.
