Oops: Prime Day 2021’s best headphones deals might’ve just started early

Did someone forget to tell Amazon that Prime Day 2021 doesn’t actually take place until sometime next month? It certainly seems like that might be the case when you take a look at the incredible headphones deals on the retailer’s site right now. Best-selling AirPods Pro and AirPods 2 are among the two most popular options for headphones among our readers. That likely won’t come as much of a surprise though, because they’re among the most popular headphones in the world right now. Another contributing factor is that they’re both currently discounted to the lowest prices of 2021 at Amazon, with AirPods Pro getting an extra tiny discount this morning that drops them to Amazon’s lowest price of 2021. But if you want over-ear headphones, Apple’s only option is the new AirPods Max and they’re far too expensive for many shoppers out there.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re an audiophile or just a regular user looking for a different option for over-ear ANC headphones that don’t cost $550. In either case, Amazon has an incredible sale going right now that you need to know about. Long story short, Prime Day 2021 basically just started early for Sony’s globally beloved headphones, with prices starting at just $98 for the Sony WHCH710N wireless noise cancelling headphones that normally sell for $200!

By now it should definitely go without saying that Sony is king when it comes to mind-blowing wireless noise cancelling headphones. We really don’t see that changing anytime soon. Most reviewers seem to agree that other companies have come close, but Sony is still widely believed to offer the most impressive mix of sound quality and noise cancellation technology.

Right now, Amazon is running a fantastic blowout sale on Sony ANC headphones that you definitely need to check out.

This big pre-Prime Day sales event starts with $200 Sony WHCH710N wireless noise cancelling headphones that are Sony’s entry-level option. It might seem odd to think of $200 headphones as “entry-level,” but they actually provide incredible value compared to Sony’s more expensive models. Anyone who has tried them would likely agree that they’re a bargain at $200, but you won’t pay anywhere near that much right now. Head over to Amazon and you can pick up a pair for just $98. That matches the lowest price ever from Black Friday!

You’ll also find all-time low prices on Sony’s higher-end headphones right now. The $250 Sony WHXB900N wireless noise cancelling headphones pack a number of upgrades compared to the WHCH710N. Examples include touch controls and voice assistant support, and they’re on sale today for $198. The company’s beloved WF1000XM3 ANC earbuds are also down to Black Friday’s price of $178 instead of $230.

And last but absolutely not least, when most people think of Sony ANC headphones, they think of the Sony WH1000XM4 model that’s basically the best pair of noise cancelling headphones on the planet. They retail for $350 but if you head over to Amazon right now, you can score a pair for $278. That matches Amazon’s lowest price ever from Black Friday last year!

We have absolutely no idea how long these deals will stick around, so you should probably get in on the action soon before it’s too late.
