Why we like it

Apple's premium AirPods Max over-the-ear headphones are a great buy if you're wanting some of the best audio you can get from the retailer's great lineup. Great for audiophiles and casual listeners, they boast excellent sound, lengthy battery life, simple controls, and come in multiple colors to satisfy that itch for customization. Plus, their noise-cancelling options are top-notch. If AirPods don't do it for you, and you've been looking for something over-the-ear instead, these headphones are what you're going to want to go with, especially now that you can get them for a discount ahead of Labor Day.

Why we like it

If you still haven't invested in a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, now's a great time to do so. These excellent noise-cancelling headphones feel premium in every sense of the word. They offer three different noise-cancellation modes, comfortable, plush ear cups for long listening sessions, and spatial audio support. With their 24-hour battery life, you can take them on long trips or car rides without worrying about them missing a beat. Plus, they're stylish, which does matter, believe it or not. And if you haven't already guessed, yes, they sound fantastic. Be sure and get a pair while they're still discounted ahead of Labor Day.

Why we like it

Don't want to spend hundreds on a new pair of headphones? You don't have to, and you don't have to skimp on quality, either. The Beats Solo3 use an Apple W1 chip to power their excellent audio, providing you with rich sound and great acoustics, so you get an immersive surround sound effect without having to shell out the big bucks. Though they lack some of the features their more expensive brethren have, their on-device controls make it easy to take calls and enjoy music or podcasts with when you're out and about. They also have adjustable ear cups, so lengthy listening sessions are no problem, either.
