Amazon’s fall Prime Day event, called Prime Big Deal Days, starts tomorrow. The sale will be held on October 8 and 9, and we expect savings on tons of products, including audio gear like headphones and earbuds. Our deals hunters will compile all of the best Prime Day headphone deals when the sale officially starts, and we’re already seeing some solid price drops ahead of the big event.
Right now, the Sennheiser Momentum 4, one of our picks for the best noise-canceling headphones, are on sale for more than $100 off. That’s just $10 more than the all-time low. And Apple’s brand-new AirPods 4 are already on sale. Though just a small discount, it’s rare to see such new models get deals so quickly.
Below are all the best early Prime Day headphone deals available so far. We’ll update our list with more discounts once the Prime Big Deal Days sale kicks off, so be sure to check back.
The best early Prime Day headphone deals
Apple’s latest generation of AirPods features a new design to optimize comfort for wearers of every kind. It’s powered by the H2 chip and uses a smaller case than ever.
The AirPods Pro 2 are a big upgrade from their predecessors, with improved noise cancellation and battery life. Apple also recently unveiled that they can be used to assess your hearing and as hearing aids. This USB-C model comes with a modern charging port and added dust resistance.
The Sennheiser Momentum 4 offer solid noise-canceling performance and incredible battery life, but their sterling sonic skills are the real prize
Apple’s over-ear AirPods Max boast a convenient selection of Apple-first features, impressive performance, and premium build quality at an equally premium price. This version uses a Lightning connection rather than USB-C charging.
The Technics EAH-AZ80 aren’t cheap, but they reward your investment with good features and sterling sound to match their flashy style.
The Jabra Elite 4 wireless earbuds are sweat- and waterproof, have Active Noise Cancellation, and won’t break the bank.
The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is a high-end gaming headset with multi-platform support, a wireless control hub, active noise cancellation, and leatherette ear cushions.
Prime Day FAQs
When does Amazon’s fall Prime Day sale start?
Amazon’s 2024 Prime Big Deal Days event, its second Prime Day sale of the year, will start on October 8 and run through October 9.
Are Prime Day headphone deals good?
Amazon’s Prime Day sales are known for offering excellent discounts on headphones. During the store’s July Prime Day sale, several popular over-ear models, earbuds, and gaming headsets dropped to all-time low prices.
What headphone deals should you expect on Prime Day?
Many of our top picks for the best AirPods, best over-ear headphones, and best wireless earbuds were on sale during Prime Day in July, and we expect similar discounts during the Prime Big Deal Days event.
In the lead-up to the event, we’re already seeing small discounts on Apple’s brand-new AirPods 4 models, so it’s possible that those earbuds could drop to even lower prices. In the past, we’ve seen the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones drop to an all-time low, so it’s likely that model could also see great savings during the Prime Big Deal Days sale.
Do you need a membership to shop for Prime Day deals?
Yes, deals during Prime Day sales are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. This includes Lightning Deals and invite-only purchase opportunities, which give access to some of the event’s best products and prices on a limited basis. New members can get a 30-day free trial.
