New to Prime Day? We’ve prepared a comprehensive guide for you, covering everything you need to know . Discount information is current at the time of publication, but prices and availability are subject to change.
Prime Day is in full swing, today is the second day of the massive four-day sale. As a headphone reviewer, I always look for the best deals first. Surprisingly, many of the best headphones of 2026 are not just discounted this Prime Day, but at their lowest prices ever. Below, I’ve rounded up the best options. Check them out—now’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some great headphones.
Sony headphones that deliver the best sound quality are on sale for over $80 off.
If you’re an audiophile who values the highest possible sound quality even with active noise cancellation (ANC), the Sony WH-1000XM6 are the headphones for you. I’ve been a loyal fan of the 1000X series for years and always return to these headphones for most of my listening sessions. They offer arguably the best active noise cancellation on the market, and they’re incredibly comfortable for hours of wear. Currently at $378 (originally $459.99), they’re their lowest price ever, and I can vouch for their value. (You can read more about them in my review .)
The best headphones for Apple users are $150 off.
The AirPods Max 2 are excellent active noise-canceling headphones and the best option for Apple ecosystem users. They’re the latest version of the over-ear headphones for 2026, featuring the H2 chip, adaptive sound, speech recognition, real-time translation, and voice isolation. If you’re an Apple user and want to stay in the ecosystem (and the extra money is worth it), the AirPods Max 2 are a great option that’s not typically available at this price: you can get them for $399 (original price: $549). (Read more about the headphones in PCMag’s review .)
The Space One over-ear headphones cost just $66, and honestly, that’s all you need.
Over-ear headphones can be quite expensive, but fortunately, you don’t have to spend rent to score a great pair. The Anker Soundcore Space One offers the best value thanks to a host of high-quality features, including impressive active noise cancellation for the price, an LDAC Hi-Res audio codec that delivers better sound than most Bluetooth headphones, and an excellent companion app. Battery life is up to 55 hours, but if you’re picky about button placement and design, you might have trouble with the Space One. But at $66 (originally $99.99), who’s complaining? You can read more about it in PCMag’s review, which called them “excellent.”
Bose’s newest premium headphones are on sale for $90 off.
Bose has further developed the successful formula of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones in the second generation, improving battery life, active noise cancellation, sound quality, microphones, and many other features . These premium headphones are available for $369 (originally $449), their lowest price yet.
The best travel headphones are $200 off.
The Tour One M3 headphones are on sale for $249.95 (original price: $449.95), their lowest price ever. This is a great deal for these headphones, which I consider my favorite travel option . Everything from the Tour One M3’s design to its features is designed with travelers in mind, and the highlight is its high-quality, low-latency audio transmitter: you can connect virtually any device with an AUX, USB, or USB-C port to wirelessly stream high-quality 24-bit audio to the Tour One M3. This is perfect for watching seatback entertainment during a flight.
