Another Amazon Prime Day installment, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, is here. The e-tailer announced last month that the event begins today, October 10, and runs through Wednesday, October 11. And as part of the slate of sales, there are some exciting deals on audio products like wireless headphones and soundbars. So whether you’re looking for a sweet deal on affordable earbuds or a price cut on top-shelf wireless cans, we parsed through hundreds of products to help you find the best headphone deals for your lifestyle and price range that are live before the event starts.
How to Shop Prime Big Deal Days
Navigating through today’s headphones market can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t own a set or haven’t upgraded in a while. If that’s the case, don’t fret about picking a product — every option on this list has been tested and vetted by me, using my 10+ years of experience reviewing headphones. I wouldn’t recommend a product if I didn’t think it deserved a spot in my tech pouch.
To learn more about our recommendations, I recommend you visit our in-depth guides about Bluetooth headphones, wireless earbuds, noise-canceling headphones, and noise-canceling earbuds to learn more about any particular subcategories on your radar.

Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Wireless Earbuds
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro true wireless earbuds are a perfect match for Samsung's excellent Android phones, much like the AirPods Pro to the iPhone.

A welcome Amazon discount brings their price below $200, and we can't think of a better time to order a set.

The WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones by Sony deliver best-in-class sound and noise cancellation, and we've been recommending them since their launch in 2022.

The all-new Beats Studio Buds + are our top wireless earbuds pick for most consumers in their crowded product category. In our Beats review, I noted that the buds' "high-quality audio, comfort, battery life, Apple’s signature ease of use, and great value" make them a great buy. For Prime Day, the earbuds received a significant price cut for several color iterations. The incredible transparent finish pictured here is our favorite.
Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones
On the rare occasions when they go on sale, Bose headphones and earbuds rarely get more than 20-25% off. That’s why seeing the excellent QuietComfort 45 cans at 30% below sticker caught my attention. For $229, you get a timelessly cool design, outstanding noise cancelation, and flawless ergonomics.
FlyBuds C2 Wireless Earbuds
The Tribit FlyBuds C2 true wireless earbuds have been among our favorite low-cost alternatives to the iconic second-generation AirPods for a long time.

Sony’s WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds are our favorite with onboard noise cancellation.

As their name suggests, the JBL Endurance Race true wireless earbuds are tailor-made for workout warriors. The buds have a tough build with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, secure fit, bass-heavy sound, and long battery life, all at a great price that’s lower by a quarter on Amazon.
AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
The AirPods Pro wireless earphones with a Lightning charging case are a no-brainer upgrade for Apple hardware users. Their sound quality, noise cancelation, and seamless connectivity with all Apple devices that use the same iCloud account are worth paying full price for. And with this significant reduction, it’s a no-brainer.
WF-C700N Wireless Earbuds
The WF-C700N true wireless earbuds — one of Sony’s latest audio products — offer a ton of value (even before factoring in this discount) for their comfy fit, quality sound, and solid battery life. Remarkably and shortly after their retail launch, the buds received an Amazon discount that brings their sticker below $100.

These true wireless earbuds by Gravastar combine an attention-commanding design in multiple colors with a matching metal case, strong audio performance with beefy low range, and an IPX7 water-resistant build. An Amazon coupon will reduce their price by over a third, bringing it below $100. Avid mobile gamers, take note.
Live 460NC Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones
The Live 460NC wireless headphones have been among the best in their class thanks to an elegant design, a compact on-ear fit, the brand’s signature sound, reliable noise cancellation, and great battery life. A major discount brings their asking price below $100, making them even more appealing.
WI-C100 Wireless Earbuds
By slashing almost a third off their already low cost, Amazon made these wireless neckband earbuds the best in their pice range by a lot. Despite their understated design, the buds don’t skimp on good sound, long battery life, and other essentials like a comfy fit, a water-resistant build, and convenient controls.
A20i True Wireless Earbuds
Anker’s Soundcore A20i wireless earbuds offer insane value before the price dropped. The compact earbuds will get you good sound for the money, future-proof Bluetooth 5.3, long battery life, and a best-in-class mobile app.

Inzone H7 Wireless Gaming Headset
Sony’s Inzone H7 wireless gaming headphones are (unsurprisingly) a perfect match for the PlayStation 5 console — visually and acoustically. The cans deliver personalized spatial sound during gaming sessions, helping you enjoy your play time to the fullest. Given they’re running almost half off the hefty sticker, I highly recommend the product to any PlayStation 5 user.
