Deals: On the Road Again with Travel Headphones

Travelers and frequent commuters should take note: you can do better than a stock pair of headphones. I know it's hard to believe. The white pair of buds that comes with most Apple products, for example, are decent but you can do better if you want improved audio quality, more comfort, and maybe a sleeker design.

Whether you want some in-ear buds to take up less space or a bulky pair of over-ear cans that offer the best in sound quality, you can find what you are looking for without breaking the bank. Here are six deals we've found across the web that should suit your needs.

Logitech Ultimate Ears 600vi Noise-Isolating Headset

A good option for you if you commute or travel often is a headset with a microphone, allowing you to answer and make phone calls when connected to your smartphone. The Logitech Ultimate Ears 600vi earbuds also have on-cord controls for changing audio tracks and adjust volume without much movement. Public transportation doesn't allow for much movement, so having all of your options in one place is very handy. This deal through Macmall takes $53 off the list price.

Klipsch Image S4i Headset

Sure many smartphones and media players come with stock headsets that might suit you just fine, but if you want to upgrade from them, you can get the Klipsch Image S4i earbuds on sale for $44 at Amazon with free shipping. While we found them to be fragile in our review, we also discovered that the audio quality was actually quite good for the price with even frequencies and low distortion. If you're worried about them fitting in your ears, they also come with three additional sleeve sizes.

SOL REPUBLIC Master Tracks Over-Ear Headphones

However, not all of us are fans of in-ear buds. Maybe you'll want over-hear headphones so you don't run the risk of losing your music to sweaty ears or accidentally buying some that don't fit. We recently reviewed these SOL Republic Master Tracks cans and found that while they weren't an audiophile's dream, they were better than entry-level models with strong bass and good noise isolation. You can now get the Master Tracks on sale at Amazon for $139 (down from $199) with free shipping.

Able Planet True Fidelity Headphones

If you don't have the money for the Master Tracks, you can still get over ear headphones for less money. For example, the Able Planet True Fidelity cans are on sale at BuyDig for $59 with free shipping after applying the coupon code "FESTIVAL." We haven't yet reviewed them so we can't attest to their quality, but the product description states that you get noise cancellation, an adjustable padded headband, and in-line volume control. A purchase also comes with a hard shell case that'll keep them safe while traveling.

Puresounds Foldable Wireless Headphones

The over-ear models listed above are all wired, so if you want something a little easier to manage you might want to look into the Puresounds wireless headphones on sale at Amazon for $34 with free shipping. This deal makes these cans the most inexpensive over-ear models on our list. It uses bluetooth technology to connect to any enabled device—with a range up to 32 feet—and it has a built-in microphone so you can make calls.

Beats Studio by Dre Studio Headphones

You see these everywhere. While they're the most expensive deal on our list, they're also for the professional or audiophile (or so the product description says). We haven't yet reviewed them so we can't vouch for this claim, but the customer reviews are mostly positive. Amazon is taking $50 off the list price on this pair, which comes in 10 colors and includes free shipping.
