Our favorite earbuds for most people are over 25 percent off

Looking to upgrade Your earphone game? Our most popular wireless earbuds, the Nothing Ear(a), have been marked down to just $79 in all three colors — black, white, and yellow — which is a healthy discount from the already affordable price point of $109. They have an excellent, open sound coil, top-notch touch controls, and impressive noise cancellation for such a small pair of earbuds.

In addition to the excellent price, Nothing Ear(a) offers a surprisingly complete package. It has excellent sound for both music and phone calls, with an open midrange ideal for more vocal music. Our reviewer Parker Hall found them particularly great for listening to jazz, where the sparkling high notes and great precision in the low end bring out the best detail in your tones.

They have excellent noise cancellation, with some of our favorite earbuds, and they have a great transparency mode in case you need to stay aware of your surroundings instead. With the noise cancellation feature turned on, you can expect up to 5.5 hours of playtime on a single charge, offering impressive endurance for earbuds at this price point.

Although it works well with both mobile platforms, quick pairing for Android devices is a great benefit. The touch controls are the best in class, with a tappable stem rather than capacitive touch that’s easy to access quickly but won’t trigger by accident when you scratch your ears. Although we found them really comfortable, they are a bit large, so people with smaller ears may want to consider a different option.

While the version we tested was a bright, race-ready yellow, all three colors are marked down on Amazon, at least as I write this. The white pair has a distinctly Airpod-like appearance, with a transparent stem to show off, and the black colorway is marked as well, if you prefer to stay a little more stealthy. While we think the Nothing Ear A is a great choice for most people. We’ve got a roundup of all our favorite wireless earbuds in case you want something a little more traditional.
