Between all of our testers and reviewers at Mashable, we’ve put in a lot of time testing the best headphones and earbuds. From noise-cancelling to budget options, we want to know the best of the best.
So naturally, when sales like Amazon’s Prime Day roll around, we make sure to track all the deals on which models we’ve tried (and those that are in our testing pipeline). With Amazon’s sale officially live, the headphones deals are showing out strong.
So far, if you’re looking for over-ear headphones, you’ll have your pick of $100-plus discounts from Apple and Sony. If you’re looking at earbuds, you’ll also be able to grab great deals on AirPods, Beats, and more. The only category that hasn’t picked up a ton of steam yet is open earbuds, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for any deals that crop up. Below, find all the best deals on headphones and earbuds live ahead of Prime Day.

Why we like it
The new Sony XM6 headphones were just released on May 15, but they’re already on sale for around $20 off, putting them at $428 at Amazon. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that a $20 price drop doesn’t exactly put these flagship cans in the bargain price range. But since this Prime Day deal is the first-ever discount on XM6 headphones, I had to share the news.

The AirPods Pro go on sale year-round more regularly than you’d think, but not $100 off. At $149, these earbuds are at their record-low price. There is some risk of them selling out. If you want to grab them before the chaos of the sale, this is an excellent price point for our favorite pair of AirPods.
