Black Friday headphones deals: Save on Beats, Bose, Jabra, JBL and more - CNET

They also sound decent, have active noise canceling and a compact wireless charging case that can also be charged using the integrated USB cable, a trademark of JLab true wireless earbuds.

Don't expect the noise canceling to be as good as the AirPods Pro, but for $50 these are a very good value.

Both models are among the best true wireless earbuds out there and now can be upgraded with active noise canceling via a software upgrade.

They don't really distinguish themselves from a host of other earbuds in that price range, some of which have extra features like active noise canceling (the Mpow X3, for example).

Both Bose's new QuietComfort Earbuds and Sport Earbuds make good workout headphones, thanks to their StayHear Max tips and secure fit, but the Sport Earbuds are more compact and lighter and also more affordable (the QuietComfort Earbuds do have excellent active noise canceling, however).

Unlike their step-up sibling, they have no active noise canceling and an hour less of battery life -- five hours instead of six -- as well as no wireless charging.

I didn't think they were a good deal at their list price of $80, but they're a decent value at $40 and should fit most people's ears well.

The 450BT noise-canceling headphones list for $200, but usually sell for around $150 so they're really $50 off.

This Adidas RPT-01 is a bit too expensive at its list price of $170, but it's a good deal at $100.

Bose's flagship noise-canceling headphone has been selling for $380 after starting out with a list price of $400, but you can now pick up the white version for $299, while the black or silver versions are going for $339.

They're a solid value at $110 or $40 off their list price.

It's a good set of true wireless sports earbuds that lock in your ears and are fully waterproof.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro (list price $250) remains a top true-wireless sports model with many of the same features as Apple's standard AirPods but in a water-resistant design with better sound.

They're a good sounding set of earbuds that are suitable for sports use with their included sport fins and IPX5 water-resistance rating (they can withstand a sustained spray of water).

Their sound quality doesn't measure up to that of the WF-1000XM3 or WF-SP800N (it lacks some clarity), but if you like bass, they're decent-sounding earbuds.

The Beats Solo Pro are a very good set of on-ear noise-canceling headphones.

Swedish company Urbanista's London true-wireless earbuds are a good alternative to the AirPods at less than half the price.

They look a lot like Apple's AirPods Pro and have noise canceling with a transparency mode, as well as a sensor that detects when you take the earbuds out of your ears and pauses your music.

Battery life is rated at five hours -- the same as the AirPods Pro -- but that's not as good as some of the latest true wireless earbuds with noise cancellation.

If you can't afford Sennheiser's $300 Momentum True Wireless II, its CX 400BT earbuds are a more affordable option that also deliver excellent sound (they are a little bulbous, however).

They're a little expensive at their list price of $200, but I had a feeling they'd see some discounts this holiday season, and now they're $70 off, which is about what they should cost. Read our Sennheiser CX 400BT review.

I don't think they're worth anywhere near $200, their list price.

Bose's Noise Canceling 700 Headphones ($379) are the company's current flagship noise-canceling headphone, but in recent weeks, we've seen the older but arguably more comfortable QuietComfort 35 II, get big discounts.

Note that with Sony discounting its new WH-1000XM4 to $278, we may see the Noise Canceling 700 Headphones also get some nice discounts as we head into the holidays.

The WF-1000XM3 earbuds list for $230 and are now frequently on sale, although $168 is near their low price.

They're still the best-sounding wireless earbuds in this price range and also feature active noise cancellation technology to reduce ambient noise.

It's missing Sony's QN1e processor, but there's still a lot to like about it, including excellent sound, solid noise canceling and good call quality.

Just make sure you get a tight seal from one of the included ear tips or else both the sound and noise canceling will be lackluster. Read our Sony WF-SP800N review.

It's one of the best on-ear headphone values right now, with good sound quality, a sturdy design and comfortable fit (for on-ear headphones, anyway).

The Mpow X3 true-wireless earbuds sound shockingly good for the price.

They have good clarity and powerful bass -- not to mention playing quite loud -- and they even have active noise cancellation that's fairly effective.
