I'm calling it now: April is officially upgrade season. I mean, what else could it be, considering we've got some of the best headphone deals I've seen in months?

Earbuds, on-ear, over ear… You name it, it's on sale somewhere right now. As an audiophile, I couldn't be more thrilled; as a person who already owns one pair too many (okay, a few pairs too many), I think I need an intervention.

But hey, let's leave my headphone addiction out of this for a moment and circle back to that "upgrade season" idea. Spring is when that whole "out with the old, in with the new" mantra really kicks in. And honestly, it really just makes sense that if you're unhappy with your current pair (or simply want to experience something even better, like one of this year's best noise-cancelling headphones), you'd be looking for headphone deals.

If that's where you're at, good news: There are lots of options to choose from right now. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are now just $199, down from $249, and they're a steal at that price. Prefer Android? No worries. Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro were previously $249, but now, they're just $209. Meanwhile, the Beats Studio Buds Plus have dropped to $99, making them cheaper than ever.

Earbuds are great, but for full immersion and that sweet, sweet active noise cancellation (ANC), over-ear headphones are where it’s at. I was so happy to find that the Bose QuietComfort are now on sale and dropped from $349 to $279. I own these and use them practically every day, so if there's one thing I can recommend, it's those headphones.

It's entirely possible to get yourself a decent pair of headphones under $50, though. These Soundcore by Anker Q20i headphones are $49, down from $69, and they still have a surprisingly long list of features for a budget pair.

This is just the beginning. These headphone deals are surprisingly abundant this spring, so there's a lot to dig into.

Join me as I walk you through the best headphone deals in April 2025, and please, please, please, try to talk me out of buying another pair.
