Want to spend even less on headphones? CMF is Nothing’s sub-brand focused on stylish designs at a lower price point, and this is the best deal I’ve seen on its Headphone Pro over-ear cans. Frankly, $49 is a steal for these headphones, considering they are comfortable, sound surprisingly good, and have noise-canceling and long battery life.
Want the best ANC over-ear headphones? Look no further than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen). They are the benchmark to which I compare other ANC headphones. Plus, they are comfortable, premium, and sound excellent.
My top over-ear headphone pick, the best-in-class Sony WH-1000XM6 is matching the lowest price I’ve seen. These headphones are amazing across the board, with their high comfort, superior sound quality, and great noise-canceling capability.
AirPods Max 2 are excellent over-ear headphones for Apple fans, but the $550 sticker price is frankly absurd. Thankfully, they are almost always a little bit on sale, including now. This is far from the best deal I’ve seen on these headphones, and I do expect the price to dip further during Black Friday sales events, so I would add them to my cart and wait to pull the trigger.
