Summer is here, and with it comes warmer weather, barbecues, swimming, and, for lots of us, travel. Whether you're flying cross country or commuting across town, we've got you covered with great audio gear to get you where you're going in comfort, style, and, of course, superb sound quality. We have wireless over-the-ear headphones and earbuds with features you expect like Bluetooth connectivity, active noise canceling, and immersive sound from the top brands–all available now at Best Buy. 

Bose/CNET The ultimate luxury noise-canceling experience

Bose is known for pushing the envelope when it comes to audio gear, and their QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise-Canceling Over-the-Ear Headphones are no exception. They feature Bose's Immersive Audio and world-class noise cancellation, making you feel like you're in the room with your favorite artists. That's why they topped CNET's list of the best travel headphones, earning them the label "the best new noise-canceling headphones of 2024." Noise canceling is essential for air travel, as is the ability to plug into in-flight entertainment systems. Bose's over-the-ear cans come with a compatible audio cable and carrying case. Premium materials provide a comfortable and stylish fit that will make you the envy of your fellow travelers. And a 24-hour battery life will keep you entertained your entire trip.

Sony/CNET Elite sound and style for less

Sony is nearly synonymous with high-quality sound, and their noise-canceling headphones have long been standard-bearers. That's why CNET's review called their WH-1000XM4 headphones "a nearly flawless noise-canceling headphone." Sony's over-the-ear offering has everything you've come to expect: outstanding noise cancellation, crisp and clear calling features, great battery life and, of course, immersive sound. Their lightweight design and cushy earcups provide exceptional comfort for those long trips, and they have the battery life to match—up to thirty hours. Travelers will be sure to appreciate Sony's Speak to Chat feature, which automatically stops the music and lets in outside sounds whenever you start speaking. Then, when the conversation is over, the music returns, and noise-canceling reactivates. This and other smart features like Adaptive Sound Control make Sony's WH-1000XM4 an elegant travel companion.

Best Buy Bring the stage to your ears

Just because your summer travel budget is too tight for a top-of-the-line headphone doesn't mean you have to compromise on sound quality. If high-end offerings from Bose and Sony aren't in your price range, try this one. You've seen the iconic Marshall brand name emblazoned across speakers on concert stages for decades, and now with Marshall's Major V Wireless On-Ear Headphones, you, too, can wear it proudly. The legendary amp maker's headphones bring their signature sound to personal audio with dynamic drivers that reduce distortion for ultra-clear audio. The Major V features a customizable M-Button that gives you the ability to instantly access a custom feature like EQ settings or your voice assistant. Marshall's headphones are designed for life on the road with 100+ hours of playtime, wireless charging, and a rugged design that folds for easy packability. Like your favorite touring band, these stylish on-ear headphones will keep you rocking all summer long.

If you like to stay connected with the world around you rather than silence it, check out Bose's Ultra Open Earbuds. Unlike other earbuds, Bose's Open Earbuds feature an innovative design that cuffs to your ears while leaving them open so you can still hear sounds around you. This, coupled with their Auto Volume feature, which adjusts the volume to match your surroundings, makes them ideal for travel, ensuring that you stay aware of your surroundings wherever you are. Plus, this groundbreaking design brings a new level of comfort, meaning you'll be able to wear the Open Earbuds all day long.

Best Buy Legendary sound on a budget

Want that legendary Sony sound quality on a budget? Look no further than Sony's ULT Wear Noise-Canceling Headphones, which CNET's review called "a welcome addition to the Sony noise-canceling headphones line." These over-the-ear cans boast 30 hours of battery life and outstanding sound quality. And, if you want a bass boost, hit the ULT button and you'll feel the sound kick in. The thermo-foaming ear cushions mold to your ears ensuring a comfortable fit every time. And, special for travelers, the ULT Wear headphones feature a swivel fold design and convenient carrying case that makes  them ultra-portable. 

Best Buy A still-great option for a lower price

While the Major V is the  latest offering in Marshall's distinguished headphones line, the Major IV is not to be overlooked. Boasting that epic Marshall sound quality and super-long battery life, these cans will get you where you're going in style. Like the Major V, the Major IV features a foldable design and wireless charging, but it also packs a few surprises of its own. The Multi-Directional Control Knob puts important features at your fingertips. It does it all—use it to play, pause, or skip tracks; power on and off the headset, and even answer calls. Plus, the Major IV includes a 3.5 mm socket, which allows you to plug in for in-flight audio or share your music with a travel companion.
