Black Friday is less than a week away, and there's a high possibility you or someone you know is in need of a new pair of headphones or earbuds. Many headphones released last year or earlier are expected to see steep discounts, but you can find small discounts on this year's releases, such as the Sony WH-1000XM6, AirPods Pro 3, and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).

I review headphones, and this year, I've seen the lowest prices ever on models like the Sonos Ace, Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and AirPods Max. Other models, like the Apple AirPods Pro 2, Sennheiser Momentum 4, and Beats Studio Pro, are always a shoe-in for $100+ discounts during seasonal sales, so it's a great time to snag them.

I'll be tracking the best headphones and earbuds deals from now until shortly after the holiday sale season. These are the best ones to shop so far.
