Headed on a trip? Maybe you need a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to drown out kids in the airplane seat behind you. Or perhaps you just want to listen to a podcast without getting interrupted. You'll find all the favorite brands in here — Apple, Beats, Samsung, Sony, Bose, and more.
Scroll to see which Prime Day headphone and earbud sales are crushing it.
Cut through the hubbub with unbeatable noise cancellation from the Apple AirPods Pro. These powerful little buds mute the outside world exactly as much as you want — and Transparency Mode lets some sounds in, just in case you'd like to interact with the world around you.
"If you've never experienced top-notch noise cancellation it will change your world," shared one audiophile. "I get that 'Oh so THIS is what a carefully engineered, well-thought-out set of headphones is like.'"
Charge in minutes, listen all day and enjoy your sound how you like it. Take digital noise cancelling to the next level with deep, euphoric and world-silencing sound. Now you can truly shut out everything around you and enjoy your own party for one with just your music for company.
"I bought these to wear at work when I need to focus. I'm in a cube and it's hard to concentrate when I can hear everything going on around me," shared one reviewer. "When I turn the noise cancelling feature on I can't hear any of it, the difference is really amazing. The ambient sound setting is nice too if I want to be able to hear anyone but not have to take the headphones off."
They're also ideal for sweating it out in the gym, thanks to their IPX8 Waterproof Nano-coating that efficiently protects the earbuds and charging case from water damage.
"These headphones are literally fantastic. I am a professional musician, and these have an incredibly clear sound quality and really high-end parts," shared a satisfied music lover. "The connection is fast and easy, it charges while in the case, which is a great feature...Really high-end headphones for an amazingly good price..."
Bose brought us the first noise-cancelling headphones, so you know these babies are going to be top-notch when it comes to cutting through the chaos around you. World-class quiet, lightweight materials, and proprietary technology for deep, clear sound and adjustable EQ means you can enjoy your audio exactly how you want to.
Audiophiles love them: "I’ve been using these everyday for work and working out for about 5 months now and they’ve held up fantastically and always work as expected," noted a happy five-star fan. "The noise canceling function works spectacularly and is great for whatever noise you may have to cancel out. I used it on a plane recently and it was so effective at cancelling out the loud engine sounds...Absolutely amazing headphones."
With up to 24 hours of total battery life and a complete yet simple set of controls, Sesh Evo is the easiest way to go truly wireless. You can adjust volume, skip tracks, take calls, activate an assistant and even select different EQ modes all with a single finger, and without ever touching your phone — perfect for working out or on-the-go.
"I'm very picky when it comes to headphones. I like them to fit snug and have the rubber pieces, not the hard ones like Apple products. These are just what I wanted. The sound quality is loud and the mic catches all conversations without having to yell. I've already bought 3," raved one Amazon reviewer.
This deal is absolutely amazing — Beats rarely go on sale for 50 percent off (!), so snap them up while you can! Whether you're raking leaves or basking in "you" time, the Solo3 is the perfect everyday headphone. Take phone calls (on both iOS and Android devices), control your music, and activate Siri with the multifunction on-ear controls while enjoying the excellent sound quality you expect from Beats.
"I love these headphones," raved one Amazon reviewer. "The sound is great and they are comfortable. My daughter and I have both bought these and love them."
If you want to save big while savoring quality sound, Tozo is the way to go — and at this price, they're absolutely worth a try.
One five-star fan called these a "hidden gem", saying "Bravo Tozo for delivering quality sound along with incredible features such as the battery life of 6 hours at a price I can brag about while impressing my audiophile friends by owning earbuds without having had to sacrifice six months of Starbucks to afford these hidden gems ?."
