Here Are the Best Headphones That Are Currently on Sale As Part of the Prime Day Sale in October.
You might not have to wait until the October Prime Day sale next month to snag headphones, as many major brands are already slashing prices on their flagship models to record lows. I’ve rounded up the best deals from major brands available on Amazon right now. If you find the right model, these deals are a great option.
Bose open-back headphones are on sale for $83.
The Ultra Open Earbuds are Bose’s attempt to capitalize on the growing popularity of open-back headphones that let you hear your surroundings rather than drowning them out, and they’re a pretty good option, earning an 8/10 rating from my colleagues at CNET . And at the current price of $199.99 (originally $299.99), they’re a great value, too.
The Sony WH-CH720N headphones cost only $98.
Not everyone needs or can afford to spend nearly $500 on the latest Sony headphones. If you’re looking for a great deal on a budget, the more affordable Sony WH-CH720N might be the perfect choice. While not as premium, they’re significantly cheaper and offer good enough quality for most people. They’re currently available on Amazon for $103.99 (original price: $179.99).
Older and refurbished Sony 1000XM5 headphones are only $160.
If you don’t need the latest XM6 headphones and are happy with the older XM5s—which are still incredible headphones— a refurbished pair will set you back $159.99 on Amazon. A new pair will cost $298, which is still a significant discount compared to the launch price of $399.99.
Beats Fit Pro headphones are on sale for $70.
The Beats Fit Pro (1st generation) aren’t the newest sports headphones on the market (nor are they the newest in the Beats line—the Powerbeats Pro 2 are), but they’re a classic option with active noise cancellation and a comfortable fit, making them a sportier version of the AirPods Pro with a slight advantage in battery life. You can get a pair in white or pink for $124.95 (original price: $199.95)—their lowest price ever.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd generation) headphones are $50 off.
If you value comfort, ease of use, and the best noise-canceling for your money, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd generation) are your best option. And right now, they’re $50 off, bringing the price down to $249 (original price: $299). I’ve had my Bose headphones for over a year now , and they remain my go-to for everyday listening. As much as I love the ability to fine-tune every detail of the sound, something keeps drawing me back to the simplicity and ease of use of these headphones, despite the many other options available to me as a tech reviewer.
