If spring is the season of cleaning and rebirth, why can't that include your old, half-functioning noise-cancelling headphones barely hanging on to half their original battery life?

While Black Friday and Prime Day are generally great times of year to pick up a new pair of headphones, that doesn't mean you're left high and dry in the spring, especially thanks to Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

The sitewide sale starts for its third year running on March 25 and goes all the way through March 31. Prime and non-Prime members alike can enjoy savings, and while this sale is more focused on season-appropriate savings like outdoor and cleaning supplies, historically we've also seen great deals on tech like noise-cancelling headphones.

SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale kicks off on March 25 this year. Here's how we're prepping for it.

Early shoppers also have more of an edge. Because the Spring Sale isn't necessarily Black Friday-level, some early deals are just as good as what you'll see live during the sale. With that in mind, we gathered up 16 of the best noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deal live ahead of the sale:

Why we like it

As nearly three year old headphones not from Bose or Sony, the Beats Studio Pro may seem unassuming. Yet in his testing, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti called them the better option for folks looking into buying the Apple AirPods Max, saying that Beats had a similar noise cancelling performance, and are better optimized for sound quality. Add in that they're basically just as compatible with Apple devices (with Beats being Apple-owned,) offer 24 hours of battery life to the Max's 20, and at this sale price are still about $280 cheaper than the Max's on sale — well, the choice seems clear to us.

Why we like it

The AirPods Pro 3 are not only the best earbuds Apple has ever made, but one of the best value earbuds available on the market. They have excellent noise cancellation, a great neutral sound profile (though we do miss the presence of a custom equalizer), five different eartips for finding the best fit, eight hours of battery life per charge, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation features. Whether you use them for work, working out, or simply for leisure, at full price they're more accessible than Bose and Sony's flagship offerings. On sale for $199.99, they're just over $15 away from their record low price, and still a far cry cheaper than their competition.
