Its active noise cancellation (ANC) is among the better options we’ve tested, its design is comfortable to wear over extended periods and its battery lasts a solid 30 or so hours per charge. The sound goes heavy on the bass by default, which should please fans of hip-hop and pop music, but you can customize the EQ curve through Sony’s app. Like many Sony headphones, it also comes with a number of useful bonus features; “Speak-to-Chat,” for instance, automatically pauses your music when you start speaking.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><h2>Sony WF-1000XM5</h2> <p><core-commerce id="ba865250870b4dc7859bcc69a9cc250a" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>For an in-ear pair, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQzMzWFhTNTY_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAUFKKXkkFd9d9bSWZfM9HsrJzT-ti90WyAOhGKxdmj5l&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0C33XXS56" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C33XXS56">Sony WF-1000XM5[/url] is also on sale for $248 at Amazon, <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:B&H Photo;elmt:;cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=95276f3c-7b79-4c1e-803f-981cd9f7a968&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=B%26H+Photo&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaHBob3RvdmlkZW8uY29tL2MvcHJvZHVjdC8xNzc4NjcxLVJFRy9zb255X3dmMTAwMHhtNV9iX3dmXzEwMDB4bTRfbm9pc2VfY2FuY2VsaW5nX3RydWVfd2lyZWxlc3MuaHRtbCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&signature=AQAAAYYkg6faawKH6VsEiWvtl334rqhF-x3rqdYk5k0IZz0T&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fc%2Fproduct%2F1778671-REG%2Fsony_wf1000xm5_b_wf_1000xm4_noise_canceling_true_wireless.html" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1778671-REG/sony_wf1000xm5_b_wf_1000xm4_noise_canceling_true_wireless.html">B&H[/url] and others. (Yes, Sony’s headphone naming scheme is bad.) That matches the lowest price we’ve seen and comes in $52 below Sony’s usual list price.

Like the over-ear XM5 above, it offers a host of useful features, a warm yet customizable sound, powerful ANC and a comfortably snug fit that naturally isolates a good chunk of outside noise on its own. Battery life should sit around seven to eight hours with average use.</p> <h2>Sony WH-1000XM4</h2> <p><core-commerce id="7c1c2ccb81004cadaf4de87a6b44a8c9" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>If you don’t want to pay up for Sony’s highest-end noise-canceling headphones, <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwODYzVFhHTTM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAARHGMjIB_rQv8M0RTjWyKA7y7VY17B3XkJ-p-dvJhPoe&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0863TXGM3" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0863TXGM3?th=1">Amazon[/url], <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Adorama;elmt:;cpos:12;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=0eee6f60-6f21-4ba6-b70e-cc15b39bf860&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Adorama&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hZG9yYW1hLmNvbS9zb3doMTAwMHhtNGIuaHRtbCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&signature=AQAAAXrcGbzEOSSe2Ms4ZU1tdKEqKvquo0kKE1V1MLKLYmZA&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fsowh1000xm4b.html" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.adorama.com/sowh1000xm4b.html">Adorama[/url] and <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:B&H Photo;elmt:;cpos:13;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=95276f3c-7b79-4c1e-803f-981cd9f7a968&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=B%26H+Photo&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaHBob3RvdmlkZW8uY29tL2MvcHJvZHVjdC8xNTgyNTQ5LVJFRy9zb255X3doMTAwMHhtNF9iX3doXzEwMDB4bTRfd2lyZWxlc3Nfbm9pc2VfY2FuY2VsaW5nX292ZXJfZWFyLmh0bWwiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&signature=AQAAARDi8Tt1EVu0kniKO-5Z06HRI6hgAPP2wmyXaaLLgaKZ&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bhphotovideo.com%2Fc%2Fproduct%2F1582549-REG%2Fsony_wh1000xm4_b_wh_1000xm4_wireless_noise_canceling_over_ear.html" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1582549-REG/sony_wh1000xm4_b_wh_1000xm4_wireless_noise_canceling_over_ear.html">B&H[/url] have the older Sony WH-1000XM4 down to $248 as well. While that isn’t an all-time low, it’s $100 off Sony’s list price and a little lower than the usual sale price we’ve seen over the course of the year. The XM4 delivers similar ANC and battery performance as its successor and has nearly the same feature set. Unlike the XM5, it can also fold up for easier storage. However, its mics aren’t as clear for calls, it’s a little bulkier (though it’s still comfy) and it sounds a bit boomier out of the box. But at this price, it’s still a strong value.

That's $60 less than buying from Apple directly and ties an all-time low. This is the “best for iOS” pick in our wireless earbuds guide thanks to its suite of helpful Apple-specific features, including hands-free access to Siri, quick pairing with iPhones and device tracking through Apple’s Find My network. Effective (if not class-leading) ANC, a superb transparency mode and a pleasantly warm sound also stand out.

These are Apple’s entry-level wireless earbuds, having launched way back in 2019. They’re a bit tougher to recommend these days, as their one-size-fits-all design won’t fit everyone and you can get better sound quality even at this discounted rate. But if you prefer an open design that doesn’t completely seal off your ear canal or just want the typical AirPods conveniences for as cheap as possible, this is at least a more acceptable price.</p> <h2>Apple AirPods Max</h2> <p><core-commerce id="e9772b9179524ed28ad4e40ce828764e" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones, the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:28;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOFBaSFlXSlM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAV6Vbbq3NtBXFgoY5tFlPLGy4g2JOhL-zfv3VTEO-6bi&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB08PZHYWJS" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PZHYWJS?th=1">AirPods Max[/url], are discounted to $450 at Amazon and <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Best Buy;elmt:;cpos:29;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=5e0bed65-d2f8-4b34-9b8f-955218c0e37a&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Best+Buy&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZXN0YnV5LmNvbS9zaXRlL2FwcGxlLWFpcnBvZHMtbWF4LXNwYWNlLWdyYXkvNjM3MzQ2MC5wP3NrdUlkPTYzNzM0NjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjRiNjczYjUwLTAwN2YtNDAwNC1iM2E2LTNlODAxMzhhNDdmNSJ9&signature=AQAAAZ21zM2ak4gYAiDmy_m9chLd--0PXaWRn81vm9zj1xcG&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-airpods-max-space-gray%2F6373460.p%3FskuId%3D6373460" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-airpods-max-space-gray/6373460.p?skuId=6373460">Best Buy[/url].

As that title suggests, the main reason to consider this pair over the Sony WF-1000XM5 is its ANC performance, which is the strongest we’ve tested from a true wireless model. We also enjoy Bose’s spatial audio tech. But the earpieces are on the larger side, the call quality and battery life (at six-ish hours) are just OK and there’s no support for multi-device pairing.</p> <h2>Beats Fit Pro</h2> <p><core-commerce id="30ea2b7016f24071b7ddd152269f1c80" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:44;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUpMNDFOOUM_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAfefy67W5NYid8oS6aoySF5f7atB253eAmLEMa9_8Ac0&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09JL41N9C" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL41N9C">Beats Fit Pro[/url] is back down to $159, which isn’t an all-time low but is still roughly $20 below its average street price. This is the “best for workouts” pick in our wireless earbuds buying guide, as it packs many of the iOS-friendly conveniences of Apple’s AirPods in a sportier and more stable design. It also uses physical control buttons instead of touch panels, and its punchy sound plays well with most popular music. But it can’t connect to multiple devices at once, it doesn’t support wireless charging and its ANC, while fine, isn’t as capable as the AirPods Pro’s.

Its sound is largely pleasant and even-handed, its ANC is strong enough to be useful and it can stream higher-quality audio if you connect over a USB-C cable. It works well with both iOS and Android, too, though it doesn’t support multi-device pairing on the former. There’s no auto-pausing when you remove the headphones, either, and the design is mostly made of plastic. But if you like the Beats style, those flaws should be a little easier to accept at this price.</p> <h2>Amazon Echo Buds (2023)</h2> <p><core-commerce id="7d7bbb83475446b48c8ac9be6f7a5175" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>We recommend the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:50;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUpWRzNUV1g_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAWjLG8L98h728w9MYUVySInXn1P02MQz9aw46YqH5krv&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09JVG3TWX" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JVG3TWX">Amazon Echo Buds[/url] in our budget wireless earbuds guide to those who hate the feeling of traditional in-ear headphones. They’re now down to $35 for Black Friday, a $15 drop that matches an all-time low. The Echo Buds have a semi-open design, so they let in a good amount of outside noise and can’t produce deep bass, but some will find the shape preferable to a pair that sticks in their ear canals. They can sound perfectly decent with a bit of EQ tweaking, while features like multi-device pairing, wear detection and hands-free Alexa are all nice to have. However, there’s no wireless charging, the battery life (five or so hours per charge) is mediocre and the IPX2 sweat-resistance rating is too weak for the gym. Amazon’s companion app is rather bloated too. But those shouldn’t be deal-breakers for $35.

That ties the lowest price we’ve tracked. The Space A40 tops our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds because it delivers most of the features we expect from headphones that cost twice as much. It’s comfortable, its ANC is genuinely capable, its battery lasts up to 10 hours per charge, its tiny case supports wireless charging and it can pair with two devices at once. Its warm sound will be pleasing enough for most by default, but it can also be customized through a clean companion app. The only major downsides are middling mic quality and a lack of auto-pausing when you remove an earbud.</p> <h2>Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC</h2> <p><core-commerce id="08253064e91046dab688f331d2d5e928" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:53;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQlpWNFFGUDg_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAcOx_0_Przd1Tm1mlzqH8zwYFcKbjeHR97VqfMevFtOR&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BZV4QFP8" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZV4QFP8?th=1">Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC[/url] is the runner up in our budget wireless earbuds guide, as it offers a highly similar feature set as the Space A40 but comes in a larger “stem” design reminiscent of Apple’s AirPods.

The M20 is the budget pick in our wireless headphones guide thanks to its comfortable fit, 60-hour battery life, multi-device connectivity and relatively detailed audio quality. It lacks ANC and doesn’t have the sturdiest design, but it should do the job if you just need a no-frills wireless headphone for cheap.</p> <h2>EarFun Free 2S</h2> <p><core-commerce id="03315f9a6d644f53909faf9eb843dcd1" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:61;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQlJWNVZOWU0_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAfq9NChkwIvdaKeJX5DbCALT3mxwfGZeH2gpqsxNwR5f&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BRV5VNYM" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRV5VNYM?th=1">EarFun Free 2S[/url] is down to $24.59 at Amazon with a Prime-only discount and the checkout code <strong>FREE2SPD1</strong>.

It has a hugely bass-forward sound out of the box, but some may enjoy that with hip-hop or EDM and the profile is customizable through the EarFun app. The earpieces are comfortable and fully waterproof, the battery lasts around seven hours, and the suite of touch controls work reliably, which isn’t a given in this price range. There’s no ANC, multi-device connectivity or wear detection, however, and the built-in mic will pick up wind noise if you’re on a call outside.</p> <h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro + $10 Amazon gift card</strong></h2> <p><core-commerce id="63edd04f49984c39b350f998e0563ce8" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:62;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0tSWjdINk4_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tNTNyLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI0YjY3M2I1MC0wMDdmLTQwMDQtYjNhNi0zZTgwMTM4YTQ3ZjUifQ&signature=AQAAAe95Dm6_cdnyq05oud2hOcsnvDykxhYnvnzT1-DBs73k&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CKRZ7H6N" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRZ7H6N?th=1">Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro[/url] are on sale for $160 for Black Friday, and you can get them with a $10 Amazon gift card for no extra cost. That’s a good way from their all-time low — they very briefly fell to $105 last year — but it’s still $30 or so less than their average selling price in recent months. While the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro aren’t a top pick in any of our guides, they’re worth a look if you use a Galaxy phone, as they can quickly pair with and swap between other Samsung devices (including TVs) and support a higher-quality audio codec on the company’s handsets. More generally, this is one of the better sounding pairs of wireless earphones we’ve tested, with impressive clarity and well-controlled bass, and the buds themselves are both comfortable and waterproof. You can’t connect to two devices at once, however, and the five-hour battery life is poor.

We highlight the Go Air Pop as an honorable mention in our budget wireless earbuds guide. Its IPX4-rated design is light and generally comfortable, its battery lasts around eight or nine hours per charge and, unlike many cheap earphones, its touch controls actually work. Its boomy sound profile won’t win any awards, predictably, but it’s well beyond serviceable for less than $20. JLab even bakes three different EQ presets directly into the earphones. If you’re looking for a cheap backup to your main wireless earphones, this is a great value.</p> <h2>Google Pixel Buds Pro</h2> <p><core-commerce id="7b05a1a1760e4404be1c5d3672b4eab4" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p>The <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Wellbots;elmt:;cpos:67;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=f14f6b23-c078-4e53-8011-5b872f886d6b&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Wellbots&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53ZWxsYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZ29vZ2xlLXBpeGVsLWJ1ZHMtcHJvLWhlYWRwaG9uZXM_dmFyaWFudD00MDM0NjAxNDk0MTIzMiIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiNGI2NzNiNTAtMDA3Zi00MDA0LWIzYTYtM2U4MDEzOGE0N2Y1In0&signature=AQAAAelpVx_PWQ-IokBDgq4-b7aXZThaUOXTonhr4TRnUQS2&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellbots.com%2Fproducts%2Fgoogle-pixel-buds-pro-headphones%3Fvariant%3D40346014941232" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.wellbots.com/products/google-pixel-buds-pro-headphones?variant=40346014941232">Google Pixel Buds Pro[/url] are available for a new low of $115 at Wellbots, which is about $50 off their average street price.
