We’re days away from the new year and some of us might be thinking about upgrading our old, beat up tech. This includes headphones. However, good quality ones don’t come cheap, especially if you’re looking for features like active noise cancellation. Luckily, we’ve found the 1More SonoFlow wireless headphones.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
These cans are a top pick on our list of the best ANC headphones under $100 and also earned a spot on our overall list of the best headphones on the market. They typically cost $80, but they’re now only $60 thanks to this discount of 25% at Amazon. This sale won’t last forever, so grab yours now and start the new year with some new audio gear.
In his testing, CNET audio expert David Carnoy found the 1More SonoFlow to offer “very respectable sound quality” for the price, with “good clarity and relatively well-defined bass.” And even though the active noise cancelation doesn’t match up to that of premium Sony or Bose headphones, it still does a decent job of muffling ambient sound and there is a transparency mode, too.
With a battery life of up to 70 hours, you know you’ll be able to rely on these headphones for long trips, commutes and walks. You can use these headphones along with the 1More Music app, which has an equalizer function that lets you customize your sound specs. These headphones offer Bluetooth connectivity but include a wire so you can decide which listening experience you prefer — though it’s worth noting the ANC only works when used wirelessly.
If you’ve been looking for new audio gear and want to check out other options, we have a list of the best headphone deals so you can buy exactly what you need.
Why this deal matters
These headphones are already affordable, especially considering their high quality. And now, they’re back down to a record low price of just $60. This saves you a decent $20. We haven’t seen these headphones on sale since Amazon’s Prime Day sale event in July, so it’s certainly worth taking advantage of. We don’t know if these will stay on sale into the new year, so it’s better to act now.
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
These headphones will arrive before Christmas, according to Amazon. However you have to order them by the end of the day and be a Prime member. Otherwise, they will not arrive in time.
