Apple didn’t refresh the AirPods Pro 2 last year, but it did introduce new health-focused features, including a hearing aid function and a hearing test. Alongside these updates, a subtle change through a periodic chime was also added to earbuds. Since Apple didn’t highlight this feature, many users were initially puzzled by the unexpected sound—but not anymore.

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Samsung’s latest wireless earbuds, deliver upgraded sound and ANC capabilities—but they don’t come cheap. Fortunately, Amazon is currently offering a deal, dropping the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to $209, which is 16 percent off the original price.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE have quickly become a favorite among Android users looking for affordable active noise-canceling wireless earbuds. Originally priced at $99, these earbuds are now available for just $59 on Amazon, a massive 40 percent discount. This marks the lowest price yet for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE and beats Best Buy’s current listing by $10.
Although the Christmas sales are behind us, this week still offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone holding out for discounts on Samsung wearables. Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are currently on sale at Amazon, dropping to just $189 from the usual $249—an impressive $60 savings. Notably, this matches the lowest price we’ve seen so far.
Best Buy is running a limited 2-day Christmas sale featuring a variety of Apple products. Among the highlights are the AirPods Max over-ear headphones (Lightning version), now priced at $379 after a generous $170 discount (31% off).
OnePlus Nord Buds 3, okay. But why Pro too? The Nord range from OnePlus includes the manufacturer’s most affordable products. Logically, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro are classic wireless earphones priced at less than $100. But apparently, OnePlus has integrated active noise reduction worthy of very high-end headphones. Hence the name “Pro.” In this comprehensive test of the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro, I’ll tell you whether or not this marketing argument holds water.
It “only” took four generations: Apple finally gave the AirPods ANC in 2024—and promptly charged an extra $50 for it. However, the AirPods 4 should also sound better thanks to the H2 chip, and can recognize gestures based on head movements. Will they leave the competition behind? And for whom are they better suited than the AirPods Pro? I found out for nextpit!
The CMF Buds Pro 2 are affordable wireless headphones priced at just $59, brought to you by Nothing’s sub-brand, CMF. These earbuds boast Hi-Res certification, LDAC codec support, and active noise cancellation. Plus, their case includes a unique and rather special feature. What’s the catch? I’ll break it all down for you in this full review.
Bose headphones are renowned for their exceptional quality, but many of the newer models come with a hefty price tag. If you’ve been holding out for a good deal, now might be the perfect time to dive in. The latest Bose QuietComfort Ultra has dropped to an all-time low of $299 on Amazon, slashing the regular price by $130 (30 percent off).
The Sony LinkBuds Open is quite the unique pair of wireless headphones. They’re “open” because they’re designed that way to let ambient noise pass through. This design is rather special, sporting a little circular appendix containing the speakers and looking like no other headphones on the market. I share my honest opinion in this Sony LinkBuds Open review.
