Another Amazon Prime Day installment, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, is almost here. The e-tailer announced last month that the event will kick off Tuesday, October 10, and run through Wednesday, October 11. But you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to save money; some exciting deals are already live on audio products like wireless headphones and soundbars. So whether you’re looking for a sweet deal on affordable earbuds or a price cut on top-shelf wireless cans, we parsed through hundreds of products to help you find the best headphone deals for your lifestyle and price range that are live before the event starts.

How to Shop Prime Big Deal Days

Navigating through today’s headphones market can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t own a set or haven’t upgraded in a while. If that’s the case, don’t fret about picking a product — every option on this list has been tested and vetted by me, using my 10+ years of experience reviewing headphones. I wouldn’t recommend a product if I didn’t think it deserved a spot in my tech pouch.

The all-new Beats Studio Buds + are our top wireless earbuds pick for most consumers in their crowded product category. In our Beats review, I noted that the buds' "high-quality audio, comfort, battery life, Apple’s signature ease of use, and great value" make them a great buy. For Prime Day, the earbuds received a significant price cut for several color iterations. The incredible transparent finish pictured here is our favorite.

QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones

On the rare occasions when they go on sale, Bose headphones and earbuds rarely get more than 20-25% off. That’s why seeing the excellent QuietComfort 45 cans at 40% below sticker caught my attention. For less than $200, you get a timelessly cool design, outstanding noise cancelation, and flawless ergonomics.

The Tribit FlyBuds C2 true wireless earbuds have been among our favorite low-cost alternatives to the iconic second-generation AirPods for a long time.

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

The AirPods Pro wireless earphones with a Lightning charging case are a no-brainer upgrade for Apple hardware users.

WF-C700N Wireless Earbuds

The WF-C700N true wireless earbuds — one of Sony’s latest audio products — offer a ton of value (even before factoring in this discount) for their comfy fit, quality sound, and solid battery life. Remarkably and shortly after their retail launch, the buds received an Amazon discount that brings their sticker below $100.

Given they’re running almost half off the hefty sticker, I highly recommend the product to any PlayStation 5 user.
