At their normal price of $350, these headphones have some serious competition from the Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones and the newer Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones, both of which are hailed as some of the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy. Now that they're on sale and in the sub-$250 price range, however, there aren't many other comparable headphones that can compete with Sennheiser's PXC 550s.

These wireless headphones are great for noise cancellation. They're built for a comfortable over-ear fit, too, making them perfect for long-distance travel and commuting. On top of that, you'll get a 30-hour battery life and excellent sound quality. Sennheiser headphones are known for their detailed and clear frequency response, which makes for an awesome listening experience.

The headphones pair to your listening device with Bluetooth 4.2 and they have NFC pairing, too, which makes for a quick and easy pairing process. There are three microphones built in, so you'll have good vocal clarity when you're answering phone calls, too.

We don't know how long these headphones will stay on sale, so if you want a great pair of noise-cancelling, wireless headphones, you'll want to act fast.
