Bose is officially unveiling its next-generation QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) today. After launching its high-end 2nd Gen Ultra QuietComfort over-ears last September, today it is taking its more affordable noise cancelling headphones into the next-generation. 

Sony has now officially unveiled the new Olive Gray edition of its WH-1000XM6 ANC headphones with a launch deal (also available at Best Buy, but there is no deal there). The brand has been dishing up a series of new colorways for its best headphones since release in mid 2025, but it’s not done quite yet.

If you’re going to be pre-ordering the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, or Galaxy S26 Ultra and also want the new Galaxy Buds 4/Pro, you’ll want to go straight over to Samsung.

As spotted by our cohorts across the virtual hall, Sony appears to have just essentially confirmed its upcoming WF-1000XM6 earbuds with a new teaser trailer on its official YouTube channel. While it hasn’t precisely stated as much, the tech lurking in the shadows here is almost certainly its next-generation earbuds. 

Update: The new Sony LinkBuds Clip Truly Wireless Open Earbuds are now available for purchase at Amazon and directly from Sony.

Today Sony is unveiling its next-generation open buds known as the LinkBuds Clip Truly Wireless Open Earbuds. Sony was among the pioneers in the open earbud space and after getting a chance to test these buds out for myself over the last few days, it looks like it’s delivering some of the better options on the market with its latest LinkBuds. 

Buying budget wireless headphones usually meant living with obvious trade-offs – at least until a few years ago. Even today, plenty of premium models still have their own shortcomings. That being said, there’s no shortage of affordable options out there that are slowly catching up and punch well above their weight class to challenge headphones that cost $300 or more. The Baseus Inspire XH1 I’ve been using over the past few weeks is a great example, delivering effective ANC, surprisingly good sound quality, and excellent battery life. They’ve easily become my favorite budget headphones of the year – and you can read on to find out why.

Burton Goods makes one of the nicer looking leather cases for AirPods Pro 2, and it just released its new AirPods Pro 3 model – 9to5 readers can score one with an exclusive 20% off launch deal using code 9TO520 at checkout too. 

Holiday deals start now at Bose. The lauded audio brand has now launched a fresh new holiday sale, and while we are still awaiting details on its official Black Friday event, today’s holiday sale is delivering prices on par or better than those we tracked for Prime Day this year. These deals are also matching the early Black Friday Doorbuster offers we featured recently. 

Update: The new Desert Gold Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have also surfaced on Amazon today.

We recently had a chance to go hands-on with the brand new QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Earbuds (2nd Gen) and loved very second of it. They debuted with three color options at $299, but a new Desert Gold – Limited Edition treatment seems to have just leaked on Amazon at $279 shipped. 

Bose unveiled its next-gen flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds back in June shortly before we had a chance to test them out for ourselves, but the brand isn’t done yet. Today Bose is ready to reveal its brand-new flagship QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) with a host of immersive audio upgrades, detection tech, and enhancements across the board. 

Today Mophie is unleashing its new premium dual-device charging stand for AirPods Max.

Labor Day is delivering some big time price drops on highly sought-after gear this year. From MacBooks and Android tablets to 2025 Samsung foldables and e-bikes, we are also tracking some particularly solid discounts on AirPods 4 and the amazing new Sony XM6 headphones. Those deals also join offers on Amazon’s latest Kindle readers and some of our favorite Apple gear accessories too.

While there are certainly a number of notable deals live directly from Samsung right now and in the Amazon Labor Day Sale for the long weekend, Woot is landing this morning with a particularly notable price on the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are currently marked down from $250 to $179.99 in the Amazon Labor Day event, and the Galaxy Buds 3 are on sale for $149.99, but Woot has the latter down at $74.99 Prime shipped. 

Bose debuted the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds recently and we have now had a chance to test them out ahead of today’s pre-order launch. Frankly, the now previous models are still a wonderful set of buds that can mostly go toe-to-toe with the best of them – we weren’t even sure if we wanted Bose to change anything. But with some subtle tweaks here and there, enhancements to its already world-class noise cancellation tech, better call quality, and fine tuned audio, one of the best just got even better.

The Beats Solo 4 on-ear headphones are now $100 off at Amazon, including all of the colors it offers. Regularly $200, you’re looking at a straight up 50% price drop here on the brand’s latest on-ear releases in Matte Black, Black/Gold, Cloud Pink, and Slate Blue down at $99.95 shipped. Details below. 

We have already highlighted a number of deals and special bundle offers you can score right now with the more pricey Galaxy Z Fold 7, but what about the Galaxy Z Flip 7?

Head below for details on how to make that happen.

While we still have one more day to go for this year’s massive Prime Day sale, there are already some absolutely amazing headphone and earbud deals up for grabs. While it comes as absolutely no surprise, the headphone and earbud category has been a very busy one this year so we thought we would organize the best options into one handy collection for you. The AirPods Pro 2 are $100 off and at the best price ever, much like the AirPods 4, the new Powerbeats Pro 2 have landed at a new all-time low and we have the very first cash discount on Sony’s brilliant XM6 headphones – if you’re going to buy some headphones this summer, you’ll probably want to do it now.

Today, Bose is unveiling the next-generation of its flagship wireless earbuds with the new QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen). The previous models are widely considered to be among the best options out there, going toe-to-toe with Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 and Sony’s XM5 buds, but now Bose is going to be the first to jump into the next-generation with what could be anywhere from 6 months or (much) more of a head start on the expected upcoming AirPods Pro 3. The new edition brings everything we already know and love about the current version alongside some key improvements in the adaptive noise cancellation, voice pickup, and wireless charging departments. 

Sony has now officially unveiled the new WH-1000XM6 headphones. What might be the most anticipated pair of headphones in the last year has finally arrived as a follow up to some of the most cherished over-ear ANC cans in the business. This time around featuring a new, faster processor, enhanced noise cancellation, even better call quality with upgraded AI noise reduction, and a nicer, more compact design, the question is whether or not all of this and another jump in price will have fans trading out their beloved XM5s (or something from the other brands) for the new XM6.

The looming and rumored upcoming release of the Sony XM6 headphones are easily the most anticipated thing in personal audio thus far in 2025. Leaks, rumors, and datamined details have been surfacing across the web in full force over the last few months (and well before that) but a listing for the new headphones quickly popped up on Amazon Spain over the last several hours, all but conforming an imminent release while also leaking a potential release date and the specs of the beloved next XM series headphones.

Some new details have surfaced pointing at what appears to be an imminent release of the more than long-awaited Sony XM6 headphones. Rumors, FCC filings, and datamined/import details seemingly point at an upcoming new release from Sony’s over-ear department, but a new leak courtesy of Apple’s Made for iPhone/iPad certification program suggest the next-generation of the beloved headphones could be revealed much sooner than not. 

Amazon is now offering various color options of the latest Bose Ultra Open Bluetooth Earbuds, including the sweet Diamond 60th Anniversary Edition set, down at $229 shipped. Regularly $299, this is $70 off, matching the price you’ll pay for a refurbished set right now straight from Bose, and the lowest we can find. This deal is also matched as part of the now live, weeklong Best Buy Spring Sale – details on that await right here. 

We are tracking some seemingly notable price drops on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro right – they are down at $139.99 and $209.99, respectively, on Amazon and you’ll find even lower prices on “International Versions” via Woot right now. Some of these offers are matched directly on the Samsung site as well, down from the regular $180 and $250, but the question is are they actually as good as they might seem at a glance?
