I don't know about you, but listening to music is a constant in my life, even when out and about, so having a good pair of headphones or earbuds is essential to make this work. If that's your situation as well, then you'll have to decide whether you want one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds out there, some awesome wireless headphones, or perhaps some of the best affordable earbuds out there. Whatever model you're looking for, we know that budget is always important, so we went looking for some of the best Labor Day deals on headphones and earbuds so you don't have to.

Apple's AirPods Max are easily some of our favorite headphones, especially as we gave them an "Excellent" rating. Our expert appreciated the excellent audio performance of these headphones, the top-notch noise cancellation, as well as the many useful features, including easy access to Siri. "There’s also hands-free Siri support (which can be disabled), and we had no problem communicating clearly with Apple's voice assistant for playing music (you can simply say, “Hey Siri, play Chappell Roan on Apple Music”) or getting an accurate weather report," the review reads.

In our review of the Bose QuietComfort, we note the headphones offer excellent active noise cancellation and a "refined audio signature," offering this model an "Excellent" rating. Our expert also found the headphones live up to their name as they are extremely comfortable to wear for long hours. Both the headband and the earpads use a blend of memory foam cushioning and vegan leather lining, which results in a product you won't have any issues wearing throughout the day.

If you're looking for headphones that will take advantage of every bit of bass it can pull out of a song, then the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 are definitely a solid choice, especially now that they're on sale. "The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones don't cancel noise as well as the competition, but that’s not really their purpose. The reason to get these is their over-the-top bass response," our expert notes in our review of the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones. We also appreciated just how comfortable they are for long wear, as well as their versatility, given the compatibility with multiple voice assistants.

Earbud Deals

For those who'd rather wear earbuds, these JBLs are a nice choice. In our review of the JBL Tune Buds, we gave these an "Excellent" rating and appreciated their affordability and the quality of the noise-cancelation feature built into earbuds in this price range. We also enjoyed the many customization features included with the JBL Tune Buds, as well as the fact that it delivers quick and easy access to Alexa and everything the personal assistant has to offer.

A more budget-friendly choice in terms of earbuds this Labor Day is the Anker Soundcore P20i. With some 30 hours of combined playtime, these gorgeous buds enable you to listen to music for your entire workday and then allow you to vent about your day to whatever friend you want to call while you commute. The case even comes with a lanyard, so you never misplace them or have to dig for them at the bottom of your bag. Make sure to check out some of the best earbuds we reviewed for comparison.

When it comes to earbuds, there are few that excel in the way the Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen do. In our review of the AirPods Pro 2nd gen, we gave them an "Outstanding" rating and our Editors' Choice award thanks to the exceptional noise cancellation and the excellent sound quality. "In my tests, the AirPods Pro dramatically lowered powerful low-frequency rumble (like you hear on an airplane) after an initial adjustment period. In some of our deep rumble tests, the AirPods even matched the performance of the QuietComfort Earbuds, which is impressive," the review reads.

For those looking for a more affordable way to listen to music these days, the Sony WF-C700N earbuds are on sale for Labor Day. We reviewed the Sony WF-C700N and found they deliver deep lows, bright highs, and overall clear audio. It's also pretty cool that the companion app allows users to customize EQ settings.

Bose is known for making some of the best high-end headphones and earbuds on the market. We reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds and gave them an "Outstanding" rating and our Editors' Choice award, declaring they're easily the best in-ear noise cancellation you can buy. Not only that, but the earbuds come with Active Aware, a feature that helps blend noise cancellation and transparency modes for when you're out and about. "Aware—Bose’s transparency mode—is excellent. It creates a lifelike reproduction of your environment and makes it easy to hear and converse with other people without removing the earpieces," our expert explains.

In our review of these Sony earbuds, we gave them an "Outstanding" rating and our Editors' Choice award, appreciating the superb sound quality and the excellent noise cancellation. The customizable sound is something that makes these earbuds stand out, given the sound quality, while the mic clarity is top-tier. You'll even get hands-free access to Alexa and Google Assistant, which is always a good thing to have.
