It gets even better: We scoured the early Black Friday offerings and rounded up the best deals on headphones and earbuds from all major brands: Beats, Apple, Bose, Sony, Samsung and more.

Earbud shoppers are looking for excellent audio, first and foremost. These Samsung Galaxy Buds+ — which are on sale for just $100 ($50 off!) for pre-Black Friday — offer crisp sound and punchy bass for up to an impressive 11 hours per charge (plus get an additional 11 hours with the included wireless charging case). That's nearly a full day of use! No time for a full charge? You can actually get an hour of playback with a three-minute quick boost. This comes in handy when you're about to go for a run and your buds are at zero.

Calls sound crystal-clear thanks to three microphones (two outer and one inner) that reduce ambient noise even in a busy location. "The new buds offer an additional mic and unreal battery life...." shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. "The ambient mode is greatly improved and one of the best I’ve tried with in-ear buds. Sound is still tight and crisp...."
