Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Studio³ Wireless Headphones
In our guide to the best stylish headphones, the Beats Studio³ Headphones were our pick for the best option for iPhone users due to their easy pairing thanks to the W1 chip from Apple. The chip also gives the headphones a longer battery life - up to 22 hours of listening on a single charge.
This model sports impressive sound quality and adds a fashionable touch to your appearance. The Studio³ also helps you block out your surroundings when you want to focus with its active noise cancelling (ANC) that works in any environment. Several top sites are offering deals on these headphones, but we found Best Buy has the deepest discount.

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Headphones appear on a couple of our guides to the top headphones. We ranked them as best for comfort in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones and best for noise cancelling in our guide to the best stylish headphones.
The QuietComfort 35 II headphones offer an impressive balance of comfort, sound, and noise cancellation. The batter life is about 20 hours with noise-canceling, and if it dies, you can revert to wired mode. Another cool feature is a dedicated Google Assistant button for easy access. There's a newer version of these headphones, the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, but they are much more expensive and are not on sale today.

The case holds up to four charges, and the headphones run for five hours per charge. We're fans of this model because of the pleasant sound quality, affordable price tag, and lightweight, comfortable feel.

The Beats Solo3 headphones have an outstanding 40-hour battery runtime, and if you run out of battery before you're done listening, 5 minutes of charging will give you another 3 hours of playtime. The on-ear controls feature Siri activation for easier multitasking.
Business Insider's Dave Smith reviewed the Solo3 headphones and found they live up to the hype. The controls were intuitive, the sound quality was outstanding, pairing with an iPhone was effortless, and he liked the color selection.
