Prime Day is finally here, and there are enough deals to make your head spin. I’ve rounded up the best sales on headphones below to help you sort through it all. I also used price-checking tools to only include deals that are good compared to their price history, to avoid those nefarious hidden price hikes.

Best Prime Day deals on over-ear headphones

The Apple AirPods Max are arguably the best headphones any Apple user can get. They rarely goes on sale, but earlier this month they dropped to $398. It was sweet but short-lived. Now, the price has dropped to a new record low of $394.99 (originally $549).


The Beats Studio Pro are the best headphones Beats offers, but they’re not as good as the AirPods Max. However, at $169.99 (originally $349.99), they’re almost half the price and makes for a great alternative for those not looking to spend an arm and a leg for headphones. On the upside, they also have about twice as much battery life as the AirPods Max.


The Beats Solo 4 came out this year and are quite solid. Like all Beats headphones, Apple users will get more out of them with a better codec and sound quality. For $119.99 (originally $199.95), these are the lowest price these headphones have reached since their recent release.


The Sennheiser Momentum 4 hold their own up against the best headphones in the market for sound quality and ANC technology. For $249.95 (originally $379.95), they’re also at the lowest price yet. The companion app isn’t great though, according to PCMag’s review.


As the name implies, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are made with comfort in mind, but they also have some of the best ANC in the market, according to PCMag’s review. For $199 (originally $349), they’re at their lowest price yet.


If you’re looking for ANC headphones on a budget, the Soundcore by Anker Space Q45 is $89.99 (originally $149.99), the lowest price they’ve hit on Amazon to date. They’re one of the best pairs of ANC budget headphones you can get, according to PCMag’s review. They also have an impressive 50-hour battery life and have great in-app features.


These headphones are fun. I don’t particularly see myself as a “bass lover,” but these headphones make me feel like I’m inside a bass-boosted car (in the best way possible). It also has great and convenient controls you can use to control the bass right on the headset itself, rather than within an app. For $134.88 (originally $229.99), the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones are at their lowest price yet.


Best for sound quality and comfort: The Sony WH-1000X series has been around for years, consistently making some of the best-sounding headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4 for $198 ($348) is the fourth generation released in 2020, eclipsed already by the WH-1000XM5, but are still some of the most comfortable headphones with the best sound quality you can get according to PCMag’s review.

Best Prime Day deals on earbuds

The Beats Studio Buds for $79 (originally $149.95) are great in-ear earbuds for people looking for strong bass without sacrificing a balanced sound and ANC, according to PCMag’s review. These came out in 2021 and are already eclipsed by the Beats Studio Buds+, but the lowered price helps.


The Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless came out in 2021 with an “excellent” review from PCMag for their accurate audio performance and solid noise cancelation. Right now, they’re $79.95 (originally $179.95), the lowest price they’ve been.


The JBL Tune 130NC offers a great value, with ANC features for just $39.99 (originally $99.95). They also have good bass and great EQ features in the app, according to PCMag’s review.


Best for sound accuracy and ANC: The Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless came out in 2021 with an “excellent” review from PCMag for its accurate audio performance and solid noise cancelation. Right now, they’re $79.95 (originally $179.95), the lowest price it has sold for.


Android users are best suited to take advantage of the Jabra Elite 4’s codec support for audio quality. For $59.99 (originally $99.99), the Jabra Elite 4 are at their lowest price yet. They have powerful audio, ANC, and adjustable EQ, according to PCMag’s review.


The Anker Soundcore AeroFit Pro for $99.99 (originally $169.99) are great for people who want to wear earphones without entirely blocking out the rest of the world. They also come with an optional neckband for a more secure fit for intense outdoor activities. They offer great battery life with 14 hours of playtime and 32 more from the case, offer customizable EQ, but they do suffer in bass because of the open-ear design.
