My top Labor Day headphones deal

Anker Soundcore Q30 noise cancelling headphones: $79.99 $55.99 at Amazon
Save 30% for Labor Day! These are incredible-value travel over-ear headphones. Perks include active noise cancellation with multiple modes (including one for transport) plus a solid 40-hour battery life for long-haul flights, and they fold up for easy packing in your hand-luggage with a handy travel case. They're comfortable for long periods of wear and there's an aux-in for connecting to in-flight entertainment systems, as well as Bluetooth 5 for everyday use.
They oh-so-briefly dipped to $4 less than this, in May 2024, but honestly, this is still a top deal on inexpensive ANC headphones.

These budget-friendly headphones offer advanced noise-cancellation technology that promises to filter out up to 95% of low-frequency ambient sound.

You can choose from three different modes for your listening pleasure: Transport mode (which minimizes airplane engine noise), Outdoor mode (to reduce traffic and wind noise), and Indoor mode (to massage away the sound of a busy office with people talking, AC units humming, printers whirring and so on).

With 40 hours of playtime with ANC activated between charges, these headphones will last a long time, too. Without ANC, you get a whopping 60 hours of playtime which is, I think you'll agree, a lot of time to enjoy your music without interruptions.

My advice? If you're looking for a set of grab-and-go inexpensive cans for your next business flight, you can't go wrong with this deal.
