I review headphones for a living and combed through Amazon's headphones catalog, uncovering sizable discounts on the best headphones, many of which we've tested and recommended, like the Apple AirPods Max, Sony WF-1000XM5, and Beats Studio Pro. Some selections were released as recently as this year, while others are a few years old but are still worth their purchase prices -- especially on sale.
