A bunch of headphones and earbuds are on sale leading up to Memorial Day weekend. While there aren’t quite as many discounts as we might expect from something like Prime Day, a few of the items I found are at or very close to the lowest price they’ve ever been, after looking at price-checking tools.

Bone conduction headphones are great for runs since you can still hear your surroundings with nothing actually plugged into your ears. They are also great for swimming and listening to music underwater (or in the shower). The Shokz OpenRun Pro are the best bone conduction headphones you can buy, and they’re currently $139.94 (originally $179.95) after a 22% discount.

Over-ear headphones can feel more comfortable and offer a more immersive listening experience than earbuds. They’re also harder to misplace, given their size, but you won’t see many people using them to go on runs, for obvious reasons. Here are some of the best over-ear headphone sales I’ve found leading up to Memorial Day.

If you’re a sucker for bass: The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 are my favorite over-ear headphones when I’m in the mood for some serious bass. They’re on sale for $129.99 (originally $229.99).

If you’re looking for the best discount: The Skullcandy Crusher Evo have the best discount after a 55% price drop. They’re similar to the Crusher ANC 2 except there is no noise-canceling. They’re on sale for $89.99 (originally $199).

If you are a stickler for audio: The Sony WH-1000XM4 is one of the best over-ear headphones for quality audio after the newer Sony WH-1000XM5. They’re on sale for $248 (originally $349.99).

If you’re an Apple/iPhone loyalist: There’s not much to say about the Apple AirPods Max that most people already don’t know. They’re the best high-end headphones for Apple users (they’re also compatible with Android). They’re on sale for $449.99 (originally $549).
