The best Prime Day deals on headphones — major savings on Apple, Beats, Sony, Bose and more

For Apple fans, these No. 1 bestsellers are a must-have upgrade. They're dust, sweat and water resistant, so no worries about getting caught in a downpour during your morning run. Seamless connection with all your Apple devices makes switching between your iPhone, iPad and Mac a breeze. The battery gives you up to six hours of listening time per charge — and up to 30 hours with the charging case. 

Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they're usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there. Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone that I just started testing — but so far, so good. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than I expected.

To get an extra 15% off the already-discounted all-time-low price, apply promo code MLA98FI2 at checkout (or just click the Redeem button on the product page).

These stylish Beats Solo headphones are now 50% off, so you can snag all the signature Beats features for just $100. Expect rich, balanced audio with clear highs and punchy bass that’ll make your playlists pop. They pair seamlessly with Apple devices, offer up to 40 hours of battery life, and are as portable as they are comfortable, making them perfect for life on the go.

If you have the extra coin to spend on these over the Solo 4, do it, especially now that they're almost down to the lowest price they've ever been. Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode let you control how much of the world you hear, whether you're on a plane or at the gym. Plus, with up to 24 hours of battery life, they're built to keep up with your day. 

Whether you'd like to drown out the sound of your neighbor's bagpipe lessons or the roar of the garbage truck as it comes down your block, these noise-cancelling earbuds have you covered. Boasting up to 24 hours of listening time, they offer a top-tier listening experience and even offer an IPX4 waterproof rating, in case your workouts get extra sweaty. 

Unlike the model above, these AirPods feature active noise cancellation to block out nearly all ambient sound and background chatter. It's a remarkable sensation. The first time I put them in my ears and turned on ANC, I was amazed at how well it worked.

Just like the model above, these are currently at the lowest price they've ever been.

These AirPods came out in September 2024, and while they look like the original AirPods, they have a few more functions. First of all, they offer personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, so your tunes sound great no matter how you move. They also offer up to 30 hours of battery life with the included charging case. And, of course, they have thousands of five-star ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality and convenient cord-free design that makes them easy to use and connect to any of your other Apple devices.

"I had no idea how much Apple had improved the sound quality on the AirPods. I had my old ones for about four years and decided to upgrade and I'm so happy I did," explained one buyer. "I feel like I just received a brand new set of ears. Absolutely stunning sound and technology. Well worth the price and so easy to set up!"

These cans come with 50 hours of power. If you run out, you can charge it for just three minutes to get an extra 1.5 hours. 

These earbuds have been my go-to for everything from trail running in the mountains to gym sessions and catching up on my latest podcasts while doing dishes. With adaptive noise cancellation that cuts out up to 98% of background noise, they're perfect for staying in the zone wherever I am. The battery life is incredible — up to 10 hours on a single charge and a whopping 50 hours with the case. They deliver high-quality sound that keeps me motivated, and the comfortable fit means they stay put through any activity.

My favorite feature? The fast-charging. A quick 10-minute charge gives me four hours of listening time, so I never have to worry about forgetting to plug them in overnight.

These headphones deliver high-quality audio in a lightweight, over-ear design that feels as good as it sounds. With powerful 30mm drivers and Bluetooth 5.3, you can expect crisp mids, punchy bass and an impressive range on all your favorite tracks. The intuitive touch controls and long-lasting battery make these ideal for all-day wear, whether you’re at the office, hitting the gym or lounging on the couch at home.

Equipped with 360 Spatial Sound and top-notch noise cancellation, these headphones are all about immersion, whether you’re dodging fire or simply exploring an open world. With 32 hours of battery and a clear boom mic, you’re set for any marathon gaming session.

These open earbuds bring a fresh twist to wireless audio with an open-ear design that keeps you connected to your surroundings — ideal for runners and outdoor enthusiasts. Despite the no-tip design, they deliver rich sound, while the comfortable fit makes them perfect for all-day wear. They’re built to withstand sweat and rain, so workouts and unexpected weather are no problem. Plus, the battery life is a solid 7 hours, ensuring they last through your day. If you’re looking for earbuds that deliver quality sound without shutting out the world, these are the ones for you.

Built with dual processors and eight microphones, they create a near-silent bubble so you can fully immerse yourself in your tunes, podcasts, audiobooks or TV shows. With a lightweight, ergonomic design, these headphones offer plush comfort and a whopping 30 hours of battery life. Plus, with Adaptive Sound Control and Sony's signature DSEE Extreme, you'll get sound tailored to your environment and audio that's richer than ever.

A few years back, I got what I thought was a screamin' deal on some earbuds. An avid runner, I threw them in my ears and hit the trails, but once I started sweating, the earbuds, which had fit great in an office setting, started slipping and I spent the next 10 miles pushing them back in my ears, a frustrating endeavor. That's when I got earbuds specifically made for being active like these Beats Fit Pro. They feature wings to keep them secure in your ear, no matter how hard you're running, lifting or sweating. Add to that a six-hour run time (plus 18 hours more with the case), active noise cancellation and seamless integration with your Apple products (assuming you have others) and you have a great pair of earbuds for the now discounted price.

If you're after the absolute best listening experience, these are the Bose headphones for you. Take everything you love about the Bose QuietComfort — industry-leading noise cancellation, ergonomic design and incredible sound quality — and turn it up to 11. Your music won't just sound like it's coming from the headphones; it'll feel like it's all around you, fully enveloping you wherever you are, whether on a plane, train or in your very own listening room (I've always wanted a listening room).

If you're all in on Apple but earbuds aren't your thing, the AirPods Max deliver in a big way. These over-ear headphones pack a serious punch with spatial audio, giving listeners a fully immersive sound that feels like they're right in the middle of the action. 

Active noise cancellation keeps out distractions, but when you need to stay aware, just switch to Transparency mode. With up to 20 hours of battery life and plush memory foam ear cushions, these are built for comfort and long listening sessions, buyers say. And, just like with the AirPods Pro 2, switching between devices is smooth and seamless.

The current price is $20 to $50 above its all-time Prime Day low, but still saves you $100 versus the Apple Store. 

These headphones pack some serious perks into a sleek, comfortable design. With Bose’s industry-leading noise-canceling tech, they're perfect for shutting out distractions — ideal for everything from a long flight to some peace and quiet at home. Bose is known for its balanced, rich sound, delivering deep bass and clear highs that make any playlist shine. Plus, they're built for both durability and comfort, with plush ear cushions and a fit that's easy on the ears, even during long listening sessions. You'll get up to 24 hours of battery life, with quick charging for when you're in a pinch. Add in Bluetooth connectivity and intuitive touch controls and these headphones are a top choice.

We almost couldn't believe our ears when we heard how cheap these killer Sony cans were. For headphones that have never dropped below $128, we had to immediately add these to our cart. These are both budget-friendly and higher-end and provide all the audio quality and comfort that this storied brand is known for. These also have up to 35 hours of battery life, with a three-minute quick charge for a single hour of playback time. 

It says a lot about the Sony XM4 that although it has been succeeded by the XM5 and, just recently, XM6, it's still selling and still super-popular. That's because Sony had already set the bar really high; the XM4 is just a great premium headphone, one that you can now get for a not-so-premium price.

In fact, $198 is just a few dollars above the lowest price on record. And in case you're wondering, this originally sold for $350. (Also worth noting: the new XM6 is $450.)

So why is a four-year-old product still so popular (and desirable)? Simple: great sound, comfy fit, superb noise-cancelling. Like I said: Sony set a high bar. If you've been looking for splurge-worthy 'phones without the outrageous price, this is a deal worth considering.

If you're more of an earbud person, these are a great pickup, especially if you need a set that'll stay firmly in your ears during exercise. This is the lowest price we've seen on these so far in 2025, beating the previous low by $10, so you may want to snag a pair before Prime Day ends tonight. For your money, you'll get up to 45 hours of battery life, active noise cancellation and even heart-rate monitoring.

Just like the Solo 4, these are the earbuds to go with if you just want a solid set without all of the high-end features found in the Studio Buds+ and PowerBeats Pro. At its Prime Day price of $50, these are $30 cheaper than their usual price and match the lowest price we've seen so far this year — we don't expect the discounted price to stick around after tonight. You get up to 18 hours of battery life, and a five-minute charge can give you up to one hour of play time. Just note you'll have to pick up a power adapter and USB-C charging cable separately (thanks for that one, Apple).

Is 5% off really a great deal? Hear me out. These are Sony's crown jewel of noise-cancelling headphones and they haven't even been out for 2 months. If you want the latest and greatest from a company that knows a thing or two about how to make headphones, these are it, and you might as well get a couple bucks off while you're at it. If a $400+ price tag is too much (I'm right there with you, it hurts my wallet just thinking about it) then check out the XM4s, which are still a really great headphone, for under 200 bucks.

Want improved noise-cancelling and a better microphone than the Studio Buds for just a few bucks more? I don't blame you. These upgraded earbuds have everything the Studio Buds have and more, and thanks to this deal, they're just $10 more. 

These Bose earbuds are like having your own personal soundstage, no matter where you are. With Bose's top-notch noise-cancelling tech, these earbuds let you tune out distractions and focus on your playlist, podcast or phone call. 

They offer customizable sound settings so you can personalize your listening experience, up to six hours of battery life and a case that provides quick recharges on the go.

These inexpensive JBL over-the-ears may not have active noise cancellation, but they do get 76 hours of playback from only two hours of charging time, which means you'll be able to listen for days without worrying about them cutting out. Taking them on a plane? Plug 'em right into the in-flight screen, thanks to their 3.9-foot audio cable.
