The best headphone and earbud deals for Amazon Prime Day 2024

I don’t know how people wear headphones in the summer heat. I’m strictly in earbuds mode when the temperatures climb this high. But no matter your preference, Amazon Prime Day is a great opportunity to upgrade your aging gear (and declining battery life) with the latest and greatest from Bose, Samsung, Sony, and plenty of other brands.

For Prime Day 2024, expect plenty of deals that’ll have you considering an impulse purchase. Many of our favorite earbud and headphone picks are on sale at some of their lowest prices yet during the two-day event.

Some products (like Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Max) are due for a refresh in the coming months, but there’s nothing wrong with picking up the current version — especially at some of these prices. You’ll want to check back often, as we’ll be adding the best deals as they come up.

If you want the absolute best noise cancellation in the game, Bose’s latest QuietComfort Ultra products should be your pick. They outperform all competitors when it comes to quieting the outside world, and both are significantly discounted for Prime Day 2024 at some of the lowest prices we’ve seen yet.

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones are down to $198 at Amazon for Prime Day. You’re not missing out on much by choosing these instead of the newer 1000XM5. The M4 offer powerful noise cancellation, LDAC codec support, and more.

Amazon’s invite-only deal on the Sony WH-CH520 is a great opportunity to get in some early Prime Day practice. The tan model will be on sale for an all-time low of $35.99 ($44 off) on July 16th and 17th; however, you have to be a Prime member and request an invitation to purchase them. If selected, Amazon will email you details on how to complete your purchase, which is how invite-only deals will work throughout the event.

Prime members can pick up a pair of the Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation with a wired charging case for $34.99 ($85 off) or a wireless charging case for $44.99 ($95 off). Amazon’s wireless earbuds feature hands-free Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri with noise cancellation and ambient passthrough. They also last up to five hours per charge or 15 hours with the included case. Sure, none of the features are going to measure up to some of the more premium options from Apple or Sony, but Amazon’s proprietary earbuds offer a lot of value for the price.

Amazon’s entry-level Echo Buds are also on sale for Prime members at Amazon for an all-time low of $24.99 ($25 off). The wireless earbuds lack more premium features like noise cancellation and aren’t particularly attractive, but there aren’t many earbuds with seamless Alexa support, water resistance, and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity in this price range. They’ll last up to six hours per charge, too, or 20 hours with the included charging case.

Update, July 16th: Adjusted pricing and added several new deals, including those for Google’s Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds. Antonio G. Di Benedetto also contributed to this post.
