Why we like it

When it comes to headphone deals, you'll have plenty of options this Black Friday, especially when it comes to Bose headphones. There's the new QuietComfort Ultra headphones getting their first markdown, the Bose 700 headphones at a record low for anyone looking for 10 customizable levels of ANC, and the latest standard headphones in the QuietComfort line also on sale for the first time. But there is only one pair of Bose over-ear headphones you can grab for just under $200, and that's the QuietComfort 45s. Down to a new record low of $199, you'll get top-of-the-line ANC, 20 hours of battery life, and comfort that allows for all-day wear for less than half the price of a pair of AirPods Max.

Why we like it

Read our full review on the second-generation AirPods Pro.

A day ahead of Black Friday, the AirPods Pro fell to the absolute lowest price we've ever seen them. Between these earbuds and the newer USB-C Pros, the main difference is the charging port. Other than that, you'll get the same impressive active noise cancellation, 30 total hours of battery life, and an ultra-comfortable pair of earbuds. Plus, they're $20 cheaper than the USB-C buds are on sale.
