Prime Day was so nice Amazon decided to have it twice, dubbing the Autumnal version the “Prime Early Access Sale”. While you can save a ton on items from any category (keep it locked to PopSci GOODS on Twitter for real-time updates on the latest deals) we found its discounts on earbuds to be particularly delicious. This style of headphone is ultra portable, and advancements in battery life and active noise cancellation help them compete with over-ear and on-ear pairs. Remember, you need to have an active Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of the best deals, so sign up for a free 30-day trial if you haven’t already.
Here are some of the stand-out earbud deals you can get during the “Prime Early Access Sale.” Keep in mind some of these might be Lightning Deals, which means you’ll only have a couple of hours to snag the earbuds at their lowest price — or until stock runs out.
The AirPods Pro have everything an iPhone owner needs in a pair of true wireless earbuds: good active noise cancellation, solid audio quality, and a comfortable fit. The earbuds will automatically pair with your iPhone, and be added to your AppleID, so all of your Apple devices will be aware of it. You’ll also be able to use the Find Me app to locate them on a map if they get lost. Android and Windows fans can still use them as a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, too. Apple gear never goes on sale, so this deal probably won’t last very long.
Industry-leading active noise cancellation are what set Sony’s WF-1000XM4s apart, and makes them so good for frequent travelers or commuters. A custom-designed processor and outward-facing microphones make this feature possible, and you’ll be shocked the first time you turn it on. You’ll be equally impressed by the earbuds’ eight-hour battery life, wireless charging case, and overall look and feel.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Live are hands-down the best true wireless earbuds under $100 during the Prime Early Access sale. The company partnered with AKG to develop the drivers for these earbuds, and worked with Google and Amazon to bring their smart assistants to the Buds live so you can operate them hands-free.
