Amazon Prime Day headphones deals have officially ended – but actually lots of great deals are still going, or only change by a small amount. At least, that's true in the US – in the UK the vast majority sales turned back into pumpkins at midnight, despite the Amazon Prime Day deal magic.

But there are great remaining deals in both countries, including AirPods Pro 2's cheapest ever price in the US, and Nothing's five-star Ear (a) buds in the UK. The headphones and earbuds deals in this guide have been chosen based on our hands-on and in-depth reviewing experience, to ensure you're buying something worth the money, and if the deal isn't up to standard, we'll inform you of that as well.

These deals on the best headphones and best earbuds from Apple, Sony, Bose, Samsung and others in many cases reflected a record-low price, and some have continued. There's a lot to sort through, so we've divided them into separate sections for over-ear headphones and earbuds in the US and the UK.

Today's best Prime Day earbuds deals – US

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): $249.99$168.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): was $249.99 now $168.99 at Amazon
The AirPods Pro 2 are the best-selling earbuds on the planet for a reason, and this is a great deal – they're back down to their lowest ever price of $169. You get superb sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, excellent spatial audio, auto-switching between different Apple devices, and an unloseable case.

JLab Go Air Pop: $24.99 $17.39 at Amazon

JLab Go Air Pop: was $24.99 now $17.39 at Amazon
Before we get carried away, the JLab Go Air Pop are not the last word in sonic brilliance. But they also aren't bad at all – in fact they're alarmingly good for their lowly asking fee. If this is truly where your budget maxes out, you'll get reliable Bluetooth connectivity, killer battery life, comfortable and light earpieces, and solid musicality on the go. It would be churlish to expect more. We have seen them for around $12 before briefly, but not within the last month.

Cambridge Audio Melomania M100: $219 $159 at Amazon

Cambridge Audio Melomania M100: was $219 now $159 at Amazon
These glorious earbuds only arrived in March 2024 and this is the first time I've ever seen a discount of any kind – so a whopping 27% saving is unreal. As TR's audio editor, I personally reviewed them (feel free to check out my glowing Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 review) and I can tell you that sonically and for noise cancellation, they're a stone cold bargain at this all-new lowest ever price. 

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II:$299$169.95 at Amazon

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II: was $299 now $169.95 at Amazon
If you want the best noise-blocking power you can get for the price, these deliver it. They also sound superb, and have a ton of useful smart features. But the headline is the noise cancellation, and you can't get better for under $170. Yes, they've been superseded (by the QuietComfort Earbuds Ultra), but we still think as an overall package the QCE II are your best bet, especially at this price. Oh, and this is the cheapest they've ever been – we'd be surprised if they go any lower, even on Prime Day itself. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: $219  $99.72 at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: was $219 now $99.72 at Amazon
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are beautifully compact and the two-way speaker design provides detailed 24-bit audio. The ANC is seriously good too – to prove it, they earned 4.5 stars in our review. Why not the full five? The battery life was the one fly in the ointment, at only five hours from the buds and up to 18 in the case. It's important to note that they're no longer the newest Buds Pro on the block; the decidedly AirPods-esque Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have just arrived. The price has swung around by a few bucks over Prime Day – at under $100, they're a steal, though.

Beats Studio Buds: $149.95 $79 at Amazon

Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $79 at Amazon
These Beats buds are back to their joint lowest price right now. Note that these four-star earbuds are not the newer Beats Studio Buds Plus, released in May 2023 (which also received four stars under intense review), but still, if you're after a set of Beats-branded buds for silly money, this deal is impossible to, er… beat!

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen:$169$119.99 at Amazon

Apple AirPods 3rd Gen: was $169 now $119.99 at Amazon
This is another record-low price for AirPods! If you want the spatial audio tech and short-tipped design of the AirPods Pro, but without the in-ear fit, these will work for you nicely. And of course, they've got fast pairing, Find My support, auto-switching between Apple devices, audio sharing and all the usual AirPods smarts.

Today's best Prime Day headphones deals – US

Bose QuietComfort Headphones:$349 $229 at Amazon

Bose QuietComfort Headphones: was $349 now $229 at Amazon
The Bose QuietComfort Headphones feature noise cancellation that's basically as good as the elite Bose Ultra headphones, but for a much lower price. The sound quality is good, they offer great comfort in a much-loved design, and offer control from the Bose app. This is $30 higher than the cheapest we've seen these headphones to date, but you never know, they may dip back down to $199 before the end of Prime Day.

Beats Studio Pro: $349.95  $169 at Amazon

Beats Studio Pro: was $349.95 now $169 at Amazon
This saving makes Beats' newest over-ears half price compared to their launch price. They're gorgeous looking, easy to use and the sound is good, (read about it in our Beats Studio Pro review) so if the lack of multipoint pairing (they do auto-switch with Apple devices, though) and wearer detection doesn't bother you, this is a very solid deal.

Sony WH-1000XM5: $399$299 at Amazon

Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $299 at Amazon
The newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were class-leading, so it's no surprise that Sony's XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a huge $100 off! They were $1 cheaper on Prime Day, but you can probably live with missing that… They don't fold up like the XM4, but they're still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that block outside sound highly effectively – and at this price, they're excellent value too. 

JBL Tune 770NC

JBL Tune 770NC: was $129.95 now $99.95 at Amazon
These high-comfort ANC headphones are now available for 23% less, which is incredible given that they were already excellent value. The JBL Tune 770NC deliver very good audio out of the box, but they also have adjustable EQ so you can find the perfect sound for you. They also supply strong bass and impressive power, so they're perfect for high-volume listening. So, if you want access to solid ANC and sound quality rolled into one, these are an amazing-value option. 

Sony ULT Wear: $199 $159 at Amazon

Sony ULT Wear: was $199 now $159 at Amazon
These reassuringly big April 2024 over-ears arrived to bridge the gap between Sony's flagship XM-suffixed over-ears and its budget, entry-level WH-CH propositions – and they do a rather good job at that, as our Sony ULT Wear review details. Also, their lowest-seen price before Prime Day was $178, or $21 off, so this $40 saving is much improved! 

Sony WH-CH720N: $149.99 $89 at Amazon

Sony WH-CH720N: was $149.99 now $89 at Amazon
This is another record-low price for Sony headphones – as long as the white colorway suits. As we said in our four-star Sony WH-CH720 review, these mid-range Sony cans pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony's cheaper earbuds, they're not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods, but they're a comfortable, enjoyable listen, and the ANC does a good job of lowering outside noise.

Today's best Prime Day earbuds deals – UK

Nothing Ear (a): £99  £77.02 at Amazon

Nothing Ear (a): was £99 now £77.02 at Amazon
They've only been around since April 2024, so we haven't seen a saving – until now. They did drop to £69 on the first day of Prime, but considering their youth and the fact that they just got five sweet stars under intense test conditions (just see our Nothing Ear (a) review for reference) any saving is a win.

Cambridge Audio Melomania M100: £169 £139 at Amazon

Cambridge Audio Melomania M100: was £169 now £139 at Amazon
In the UK, these March 2024 talented earbuds are now £30 off, which means 18% of the RRP stays with you. I need to impress upon you that a) this is the first ever discount we've seen on new 2024 earbuds and b) as TR's audio editor, I personally reviewed them – feel free to check out my glowing Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 review – and for sound and noise cancellation, they're a stone cold bargain at this all-new lowest ever price. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: £219  £96.40 at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: was £219 now £96.40 at Amazon
OK, so the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have been available for around the £110 price for a few weeks, but this extra Prime Day price shaving is worth yelling about! They're beautifully compact and the two-way speaker design provides detailed 24-bit audio. The ANC is seriously good too – to prove it, they earned 4.5 stars in our review. The battery life was really the only issue under intense review, at only five hours from the buds and up to 18 in the case. Do note that they're no longer the newest Buds Pro on the block either; the decidedly AirPods-esque Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have just arrived. That said, this saving is unreal, if you just need a second pair…

Anker Soundcore Q20: £49.99£38.42 at Amazon

Anker Soundcore Q20: was £49.99 now £38.42 at Amazon
Here's a nice low price for an impressive pair of cheap noise-cancelling headphones. We awarded them four stars in our Anker Soundcore Q20 review for their excellent battery life, comfortable fit and solid sound quality. Of course, the noise-cancellation can't compete with the high-end options from the likes of Sony and Bose, but considering these are literally hundreds of pounds cheaper, the value for money is undeniable. Need some basic headphones to get the job done? Here they are. 

Sony WH-CH720: £99.99 £74.99 at Amazon

Sony WH-CH720: was £99.99 now £74.99 at Amazon
These dropped to £70 over Prime Day, but even this price with an extra £5 added back on is cheaper than we'd ever seen them until this week. As we said in our four-star Sony WH-CH720 review, these chepaer Sony cans pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony's cheaper earbuds, they're not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods, but they're a comfortable, enjoyable listen, and the ANC does a good job of lowering outside noise.

Sony ULT Wear: £179 £129 at Amazon

Sony ULT Wear: was £179 now £129 at Amazon
These April 2024 issue over-ears were launched to bridge the monetary gap between Sony's flagship XM-suffixed offering and its budget, entry-level WH-CH options – and they do a good job at that, as our Sony ULT Wear review describes. Oh, and their lowest-seen price before this was £149, so this is a tidy new £20 discount on top of that. Nice!

When does Prime Day End? 

Amazon Prime Day is live now and ends on Wednesday, July 17 at 11:59PM wherever you are, so you've got until the to shop all the Prime day headphones deals on offer that we've listed above. Time is of the essence! 

What are the official dates of Amazon Prime Day 2024?

The dates for this year's Prime Day are July 16 – 17. The sale started at midnight on Tuesday and runs for 48 hours through to 23:59 on Wednesday.

Most deals went live right at the start of the sale, with a handful of limited-time lightning deals popping up throughout. Given we've seen some Prime Day headphone deals be extremely popular in the past – especially the cheaper or budget-friendly ones – we'd suggest buying right away if the cans you want are on sale.

Do you need Amazon Prime to buy Prime Day headphone deals?

An Amazon Prime membership was required to take full advantage of this year's Prime Day headphone deals, but anything left now will be available to all. While there are often listings open to everybody on Prime Day, the best deals are usually reserved for prime members only. If you're not a member, don't worry - you can still sign up for a free 30-day trial in the lead-up. That will give you access to all the offers – and you can cancel the trial at any time within 30 days.

We also saw plenty of other retailers offering competing Prime Day headphone deals last year. In the US, Best Buy and Walmart were price matching some of the record low prices we saw on big-ticket items, and in the UK, Currys was honoring price matches from Amazon as well.
