Yahoo Finance The best deals on headphones and earbuds we could find for Prime Day
Some of our favorites are hundreds of dollars off.
A good pair of headphones or earbuds can be hard to find, be it because you have a long list of necessities or because you’re waiting for a great deal. If you fall mostly into the latter category, Amazon Prime Day deals might be able to help you. While there are a slew of headphones and earbuds on sale during the shopping event, only a handful are actually worth your time and money. We’ve picked out the best deals on headphones and earbuds that we could find and we were pleasantly surprised to see that many of our favorite music makers are among them.

NEW Jabra Elite 85h - $179.99

Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones + $25 gift card - $298
Our favorite pair of ANC headphones is on sale for $298, an all-time low since they debuted a few months ago.

We gave the WH-1000XM4 a score of 94 for their excellent active noise-cancellation tech, immersive sound quality and multi-device connectivity.
