The best deals on the best headphones
Who needs headphones? The answer to that question, of course, is everyone, whether it’s for enjoying music, blocking out noise during a commute, or listening to podcasts at the gym. Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day brings countless deals on the best headphones and best earbuds, and many are worth scooping up.
Among the Amazon Prime Day headphones deals are several models that received a five-star score in our reviews. Needless to say, these are the deals that we’d like to steer you toward, as you’ll be getting a big discount on headphones we can enthusiastically endorse.
From high-end noise-canceling over-ears like the Sony WH-1000XM5 was $399, now $298, to cheap and cheerful earbuds like the JLab Go Air Pop, was $24.99, now $17.39, with a bunch of great deals between, here are our 7 five-star headphones picks in the Prime Day sales:Today’s best deals
Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $298 at Amazon
The newest and best in Sony’s class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were class-leading, so it’s no surprise that Sony’s XM5 is also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a massive $101 off! For clarity, it’s one whole dollar cheaper than they’ve ever been to date. They don’t fold up like the XM4, but they’re still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that block outside sound highly effectively – and at this price, they’re excellent value too.
Nothing Ear (a): was $109 now $79 at Amazon
They’ve only been around since April 2024, so we haven’t seen a saving—until now. A cool 28% off (or $30) is a huge deal, especially when they got five sweet stars under intense test conditions—just see our Nothing Ear (a) review for reference. My favorite yellow pair, in addition to the white and black options, is heavily discounted. This is my top Prime Day steal.
