Below we’ve handpicked our favourite headphones deals.
AKG K175 Closed-Back Headphones: Was $79, now $39
For a lot of people, if they think headphones, they think AKG. This isn’t all that surprising when you consider that the first set of AKG headphones hit the market in 1949! These sleek foldable headphones offer the same flat frequency response you’d find from a great set of studio monitors but with the K175s you can take them anywhere with you.
AKG K361-BT Closed-back Headphones: Was $129, now $99
Studio quality headphones, added Bluetooth functionality and $30 off, what more do you need? Featuring a large 50mm driver with oxygen-free copper coils and a closed-back design, these headphones really do deliver on sound quality. The dual functionality gives you the best of both worlds: for mixing you can utilize the traditional jack to jack cable and when you are out and about you can sync them directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
Mackie MC-450 Open-back Headphones: Was $299.99, $199.99
Mackie sure knows a thing or two about audio quality having been leaders in the PA world for decades. It should come as no surprise that they apply the same quality and expertise to their headphones. These incredibly comfortable options come loaded with 42mm drivers, giving them a very even and clear response, ideal for mixing. They also come with a very handy carry case.
Blue Mics Ella Premium Planar Headphones: $699.99, $399.99
Beloved by studio engineers across the globe for their highly articulate mics: Blue Microphones apply the same level of detail and craftsmanship to their premium headphones. A 250mW audiophile-quality amplifier gives you unparalleled detail and transparency, while the multi-jointed headband and ergonomic design give you an especially comfortable listening experience. If you are in the market for a rather special set of headphones at a fantastic price, then look no further.

I'm a Senior Deals Writer at MusicRadar, and I'm responsible for writing and maintaining buyer's guides on the site - but that's not all I do. As part of my role, I also scour the internet for the best deals I can find on gear and get hands-on with the products for reviews. My gear reviews have been published in prominent publications, including Total Guitar and Future Music magazine, as well as Guitar World.com. I've also had the privilege of interviewing everyone from Slash to Yungblud, as well as members of Sum 41, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Fever 333 and many more.
I have a massive passion for anything that makes a sound, particularly guitars, pianos, and recording equipment. In a previous life, I worked in music retail, giving advice on all aspects of music creation and selling everything from digital pianos to electric guitars, entire PA systems, and ukuleles. I'm also a fully qualified sound engineer who holds a first-class Bachelor's degree in Creative Sound Production from the University of Abertay and I have plenty of experience working in various venues around Scotland.
