Amazon Prime Day headphone deals 2024: what to expect in the upcoming sale

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. 

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. 

Amazon Prime: 30-day free trial

You can cancel at any time during the trial to avoid paying the regular fee, which is $14.99 / £8.99 per month.

AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $199 at Amazon
This is the joint-lowest price these buds have been since their launch, and they're excellent value here – the sound quality is fantastic, the noise cancellation is up with the best-in-class buds, and they're packed with smart features for iPhone users. We doubt you'll see a lower price over Prime Day. Here's our full AirPods Pro 2 review where we rave about them.

Sony WF-1000XM4: was $279.99 now $198 at Amazon
Prime Day offers like this one are good – but they can be beaten if we wait… perhaps. The thing is, we have seen the excellent XM4 earbuds briefly drop to $178 before now, during Black Friday last year. The deal was over in a flash, (leaving some of the TechRadar team disappointed) so if you need them now, we'll leave this still-significant saving here. Sony's immersive LDAC, excellent noise cancelation, eight hours of battery life from just the earbuds, and stunning sound quality? Yes please – check out our detailed review for more info.

Sony WH-CH720: was $149.99 now $98 at Amazon
This 35% off discount is the cheapest we've seen these Sony over-ears by some margin – their previous lowest-seen price on Amazon was $128 back in April. 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.

Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $89.99 at Amazon
As our detailed Studio Buds review states, Apple's June 2021 Beats-branded buds are "some of the best Beats buds you can buy", and with this discount they're even more tempting. This discount equals their lowest-ever-seen price, too. Yes, the newer Beats Studio Buds Plus have landed, but these are now about half the price, while still delivering fast pairing, active noise cancelation, Find My support, and more.

Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399.99 now $328 at Amazon
Quite simply the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. If it's the best noise cancelation you want (and you also want excellent sound and smart features), you can't do better, as our full Sony WH-1000XM5 review makes clear – especially with this much off! Have we seen them this cheap before? No – we've seen them drop to $349 before, but never this low.

Sony WH-1000XM4: was £350 now £199 at Amazon
This is a record-low price for the model we rate as the best headphones in the world for most people. For this price, nothing gives you such rich sound, great noise cancellation, and smart features – all in a lightweight and comfortable package, as our Sony WH-1000XM4 review tells you. Do not miss this offer if you want quality ANC headphones.

Sony WF-1000XM4: was £250 now £149 at Amazon
These have dominated our list of the best wireless earbuds for most people since their launch – and this is their lowest ever price. Nothing else matches the quality of the audio and strength of the noise cancellation for this price. You can read more about this in our full Sony WF-1000XM4 review, but the short version is that you're getting flagship quality buds for a mid-range price here.

AirPods Pro 2: was £249 now £209 at Amazon
This is the lowest price that Apple's latest generation of AirPods Pro have been sold at, making it a perfect deal to scoop up on Prime Day. If you've read our AirPods Pro 2 review, it's easy to understand why we're so excited when you see all the premium features that you get such as great noise cancellation, impressive sound quality, and spatial audio with head-tracking.   

Sony LinkBuds S: was £180 now £125.99 at Amazon
Exceptionally small, light, comfortable earpieces with a great control app plus a slew of well-implemented on-ear control options. They're not the most dynamic or zealous listen we've ever heard, but for this money the sound is still up there with the best in show. Although we briefly (very briefly) saw them dip to one penny below £100 in October last year, at this price they're a solid bet from a trusted name in audio – particularly if you have smaller ears.

Sony WF-C500: was £90 now £56.49 at Amazon
These are excellent buds for the price – lightweight, comfortable, and they sound impressive. Being from Sony, there's a great balance to the audio, and they're lively and expressive, as our full Sony WF-C500 review explains. The under £60 earbuds category has become hot recently, with big names and upstarts all competing – but you can't go wrong with Sony.

JBL Tune 760NC: was £119.99 now £59.99 at Amazon
Looking for headphones with solid noise cancellation and fun sound, and good comfort for long wearing sessions? The mid-range JBL Tune headphones are ideal – especially at this more budget price. These dropped to cheaper than this over Black Friday last year – as low as £50. But if you like the price and what's on offer, we think they're a good deal right now anyway.
