Don't buy AirPods Pro 3 in the Presidents' Day Sales! Buy any of these 4 earbuds deals instead – all recommended by me, an audio expert

Now hear me out: they're not the newest earbuds Technics has released. But they're still currently the only earbuds (along with their newer EAH-AZ100 siblings) to offer multipoint connectivity to three devices – and that's just for starters (see our Technics EAH-AZ80 review for further details). The discount is also as low as I've ever seen; they dropped to $197 during a recent sales event, but I've never seen them go lower – although I hear tell from our price spies that they may have very briefly been $148, during Black Friday last year. Buying a gift for the audiophile in your life? These are still my regular buds and I vouch for the sound and super secure, comfortable fit. Highly recommended.

Again, they're not Nothing's newest earbuds, but I think they're still the best – and this is a return to their lowest ever fee. With support for hi-res audio and 11mm drivers, the Nothing Ear (a) offer everything you need in budget earbuds. The smart ANC is excellent for the money and automatically checks for noise leakage between the earbud and your ear canal, while there’s reduced audio lag for gamers, and you can connect to two devices at once. Battery life is strong, too, with a 10-minute charge giving 10 hours of playback. Ideal for people who regularly forget to charge their tech (read: me).

Bose's reputation for producing audio devices with excellent sound quality is undeniably showcased in its Ultra Open earbuds. Delivering incredible sound, supreme power, and excellent battery life, they're one seriously premium pair of all-around buds and you'll still hear your surroundings to stay safe. You can now get these fantastic four-star buds at a return to their lowest-seen price on Amazon. Hurrah!

On the face of it, a $50 saving isn't the most headline-worthy sale you'll see – and it's true that they have dipped as low as $199 very briefly, before today. But this is Bose. It's also a set of 5-star, 2025-release noise-cancelling earbuds that basically walk all over anything else on the market for noise cancellation (except maybe Apple's AirPods Pro 3 – but if you don't own an iPhone I don't recommend those, however good the deal). A deal on a truly excellent set of new earbuds from Bose? Tempting… 

Apple's newest premium buds feature improved Active Noise Cancellation, outstanding audio, a comfortable in-ear design, and new features such as live translation and the ability to track your heart rate (which is likely to go up a lot this Sunday). These do-it-all buds really are 100% flagship audio and the noise-cancelling quality is outstanding. And seeing them drop under $210 isn't the absolute lowest we've seen (that would be $184, very briefly a few weeks ago) but it's still a tidy $40 saving on the most popular earbuds in the world.
