Explained simply
Headphones vary in price according to their sound quality, comfort and features. Active noise cancellation uses microphones and processing to reduce background noise, while battery life matters for people who use headphones away from a charger.
Sony, Bose and Beats are major audio brands, and each sells models at different prices. Some newer, more expensive headphones add features such as lossless audio support or stronger noise isolation; less costly models may still cover everyday listening needs.
Retail discounts can make older or mid-range models more affordable, though prices and availability can change. Amazon Prime may offer extra savings or faster delivery on selected products, but those benefits depend on the item and membership.
