The six best headphone deals you’ll find, all 50 to 75% off right now

The term cordcutting refers to TV viewers who have increasingly dumped expensive cable packages in favor of cheaper online streaming options.

But if we actually get super-literal for a second, shouldn’t cordcutting probably be synonymous with getting rid of all those horrendous headphone wires we’ve had to deal with for decades?

Among recent personal tech advancements, few have felt as liberating as the first time we slipped on Bluetooth-enabled earbuds or headphones. No obnoxious dangling cord slapping against our face. No untangling hopelessly snarled wires. And if we never again accidentally snag those cords and practically rip buds out of our heads in the process...well, it’ll be too soon.

Now, to paraphrase “Pinocchio,” there are no strings on you. From tiny workout buds to full power over-ear headphones, check out this host of totally wireless, totally high quality listening options at totally awesome 50 to 75% discounts off their regular prices.
