If you’re stumped for what great gift to leave in your loved one’s stocking this Christmas, a surefire smile-maker is a pair of wireless earbuds. And while you’ll be able to score a set from just about every audio company known to man, we found two great deals for Google and Sony in-ears:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, you’ll only pay $200. The second offer is for the Sony LinkBuds Fit, which are marked down to $180.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 — $199, $229 13% off

Our audio expert, Simon Cohen, had the following to say about the Pixel Buds Pro 2: “You’ll be surprised how much of an upgrade gets packed into a smaller package.”

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are Google’s latest flagship in-ears, and they sound utterly fantastic. The onboard Tensor chip uses Google AI to hone in on the frequencies you want to hear while cancelling out environmental noises via advanced ANC technology. You’ll get up to 30 hours of playback (with a fully charged case), a light and comfortable fit, and seamless audio switching between all your Google Pixel devices.

Sony LinkBuds Fit — $200 $180 10% off

Our resident earbud expert Simon Cohen had this to say about the LinkBuds Fit: “The LinkBuds Fit are Sony’s most comfortable earbuds yet.”

The main idea behind the LinkBuds Fit is comfortable earbuds you’ll be able to wear for long periods of time. We loved how well they fit when we reviewed them, but we were also taken by the superb sound quality and excellent transparency mode. As the latter might indicate, these are ANC earbuds as well, so you’ll be able to cancel out sounds you don’t want to hear.

We’re not sure how long these markdowns are going to stick around, but we’ve been seeing a lot of earbud promos and headphone deals over the last few weeks, which means more folks are going to be shopping. That said, today could be the best day to save up to $30 on an awesome pair of ANC buds.

If you're an Android user and you want top-quality wireless earbuds, you should be on the lookout for Google Pixel Buds deals and Samsung Galaxy Buds deals.

Staples, a reliable source of discounts on wireless earbuds, has slashed the prices of the Google Pixel Buds 2 and Samsung Galaxy Buds+.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live get a $30 price cut for Black Friday

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live in their charging case.

True wireless earbuds typically come in one of two designs: Silicone-tipped in-ear models like the Jabra Elite 75t and those that simply hover just outside the ear canal like the AirPods. That's what makes the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live so intriguing -- they use a hybrid shape that fills the outer ear but doesn't close off the ear canal itself. And during Black Friday deals, they're even more affordable, at just $140.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are the answer to the question: Can I get active noise cancellation (ANC) in a set of true wireless earbuds without needing a silicone ear tip wedged firmly inside my ear canal? The answer is yes. Thanks to the Buds Live's bean shape, they block outside sound much more effectively than Apple's AirPods, while their active noise-canceling circuitry deals with most of the sound that still manages to get through.
