Best wireless earbuds deals 2023: Bose, Sony, Apple and more

Apple AirPods 2 (2019): was $159 now $99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
The second-gen AirPods are at just about the lowest price we've seen. If you aren't bothered about spatial audio and those slightly longer stems, these veterans still offer unbeatable usability and decent sound quality for Apple users for a much lower price. Four stars

Sony WF-1000XM4: was $280 now $228 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Put simply, the Sonys are the complete package – fantastic all-rounders that look great, sound great, and do everything you could ask of them. Battery life is eight hours per charge, they're nice to use and their noise-cancelling is one of the best in the business. Five Stars

Melomania 1 Plus $140 $60 at Amazon (save $80) (opens in new tab)
The Melomania 1 Plus sound dynamic while offering up excellent quality; plus, these buds come with slick app support, too. If you don't need noise-cancelation, these earbuds are both a great choice and a great deal.

Sennheiser CX 400BT $199 $122 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
While slightly compromised in the features department (battery life is 20 hours), the CX 400BT are sonic marvels – and, at this price, hugely appealing.

Apple AirPods Pro $250 $209 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
We described the AirPods Pro as "exceptionally comfortable" and praised their "strong noise-canceling and balanced, easy-going sound". They're a great option if you've bought into Apple's ecosystem.

Panasonic RZ-S500W $180 $98 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Panasonic's noise-canceling true wireless earbuds are the best you can buy at this new permanent price drop, offering features and sound quality that are very rare at this price. Five stars, What Hi-Fi? Award winner

Beats Powerbeats Pro $250 $200 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Build quality of the Powerbeats Pros is excellent, as is their fit and list of useful features. These true wireless earbuds come into their own for exercise, so this new low price shouldn't be sniffed at. Discount applies to black, navy and ivory finishes.

Bose SoundSport $149 $129 at Walmart (save $20) (opens in new tab)
There's $20 off these wireless earbuds for active types, which will provide you with up to six hours of juice from a 2-hour charge. They're comfortable, too, with a fun, engaging sound and strong wireless performance.

Shure SE215 wired earbuds $200 $99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
A too-good-a-deal to ignore; despite their wired nature, these in-ears use the same monitor technology road-tested by musicians and cram it into a package small enough to fit in your ears. Expect a bassy flavor and rich, detailed sound.
