Whether you’re a frequent traveler, gym-goer or someone with a long subway commute, it’s worth having a set of headphones with great sound quality to listen to your favorite songs and podcasts. And if you’re looking to score a new set for less, now’s a great time. While the major sales event doesn’t officially start until July 16, we’re already seeing some impressive Prime Day headphone deals, including $80 off the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (our pick for the best headphones overall) and 25% off the Sony WH-100XM5 (our favorite wireless headphones for everyday use).
These are the best Prime Day headphone deals we’ve found so far.
Not only are these excellent discounts, but many of them are on headphones (and earbuds) that Forbes Vetted editors and contributors have personally tested and reviewed. Just keep in mind that because Prime Day doesn’t technically kick off until tomorrow, you may be able to find even better offers if you hold off. That said, once deals go live, they’re unlikely to stick around for long—so it’s not always wise to wait. Ahead, here are the best Prime Day headphone deals (and earbud deals) we’ve spotted so far—both on Amazon and at competing retailers who are matching prices.

Is Prime Day A Good Time To Buy Headphones?
You can find solid deals on headphones throughout the year, and from major brands like Sony and Apple. However, sale events like Prime Day typically bring out the steepest discounts that knock prices down into “new low” territories. So if you find a great discount, we recommend jumping on it ASAP. Tech deals typically move fast during Prime, and you may have to wait until Cyber Week to shop similar offers.
Pro tip: We’ve included a mix of retailers above, but don’t forget to check competitors like Best Buy and Walmart to make sure you’re getting the best price.
How Long Do Prime Day Deals Last?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 officially starts at 3:01 a.m. EDT on July 16 and ends at 3:00 a.m EDT on July 18. Just like last year, the mega e-retailer is offering a full 48 hours to shop thousands of steep discounts. That said, we’re already seeing some great deals ahead of the event’s formal start—and we wouldn’t be surprised if a few deals get extended beyond Prime Day’s end.
