Add The New York Post on Google The only thing better than Prime Day deals? Early Prime Day deals?
This year, Amazon’s four-day sales extravaganza begins on June 23 and ends on June 26, but Amazon Prime members can start shopping deals right now, including these great deals on headphones.
As a headphone tester, I’ve cycled through more pairs than I can count over the past two years, which means I keep a close eye on when prices actually drop — not just when they’re marketed to. And right now, some of the best models are still lingering at sale-level prices.
These headphone deals range from pairs I’ve personally tested to ones our team swears by. If I’ve used it and it’s still discounted, you’ll find it below — along with my unfiltered take on what’s actually worth your money.
AirPods Pro 3 deliver world-class active noise cancellation, which improves upon the already great feature included with the AirPods Pro 2. It also has smarter features, like live translation using Apple Intelligence, heart rate sensors, and the ability to use the earbuds as a clinical-grade hearing aid. Right now, you can score a pair at its lowest price ever ahead of Prime Day.
The AirPods Pro Max 2 are the latest edition of Apple’s over-ear model to be turning heads. These look great, and the high-fidelity audio and spatial head-tracking genuinely make it sound like you’re sitting in a private movie theater. The memory foam cushions are wildly comfortable, making them perfect for long-haul flights or ignoring the world at your desk.
The Beats Studio Pro headphones deliver exceptional sound quality and adaptive noise cancellation for an immersive Dolby Atmos audio experience. With over a year of headphone testing experience and more than a handful of pairs in my arsenal, this is the one I come back to again and again. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, with great, long-lasting battery life and advanced features for audiophiles.
I’m not the only Beats fan here at Post Wanted. Reporter Miska Salemann also loves these, saying, “I’ve never splurged on headphones before (I used to be an old-fashioned wired-headphones person), but eventually I gave in and got a pair of Beats. The sound is so immersive — so much better than my old, dangly headphones — it feels like I’m hearing the music live.”
These are another tried and tested Post Wanted fave. The Bose QuietComfort Over-Ear Ultra Bluetooth Headphones offer superior noise cancellation, delivering an incredibly immersive listening experience even in the noisiest environments. With plush ear cushions and an adjustable headband, they provide all-day comfort by being one of the more lightweight over-ear options on the market today.
Beats Solo 4 headphones combine premium sound quality with a sleek, stylish design that’s smaller than the Beats Studio Pro, while delivering the same rich bass and clear audio you’d expect from Beats for an enhanced listening experience. I’ve tested these too, and they’re an excellent choice, especially if you have a smaller head.
Just as Sonos perfected home audio with soundbars and subwoofers, they have perfected headphones with Dolby Audio and more built right in. I’ve been using these since the week they hit the market, and they’ve held up so well in the two years. The battery lasts me almost all week and the active noise cancellation is unmatched. Read our full review for more on this pair, which is absolutely worth the splurge.
This Post Wanted-approved pair of Soundcore earbuds is 38% off right now. These are the real deal, offering optimized noise cancellation — that actually works — and highly customizable sound with pre-set and custom EQ settings and 3D surround sound. Don’t believe me? With over 20,000 reviews on Amazon, these headphones have an average 4.4 out of 5 rating, with one satisfied customer proclaiming that they’re the “best discovery on Amazon.”
A slightly unique pair of headphones, these combine the Bose sound you know and love with an open design that allows for outside noises to be filtered in. They’re perfect for walking around NYC, where safety is key but outside noises can still be overwhelming. They’re also loved by Post Wanted editors and Oprah alike.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Headphones offer high-performance audio with adjustable, secure-fit ear hooks and a sweat-resistant design, perfect for intense workouts and all-day wear. With up to nine hours of listening time on one charge, they deliver powerful sound and hands-free convenience.
Experience classic Beats sound with Beats Studio Buds+, featuring personalized Active Noise Cancelling, Transparency mode, and spatial audio for both music and calls. With up to 36 hours of battery life, a sweat-resistant design, and seamless Apple and Android compatibility, these earbuds deliver comfort, clarity, and wireless freedom from the subway to the office to the gym.
The JBL Tune 720BT headphones deliver powerful JBL Pure Bass sound with up to 76 hours of battery life for extended listening on the go. Featuring a lightweight, foldable design and Bluetooth connectivity, they provide a comfortable and convenient wireless audio experience for music, calls and everyday use.
