Add The New York Post on Google Listen up, shoppers! Amazon Prime Day is officially here and we hear there are some pretty incredible Prime Day headphone deals available to shop right now.
Amazon’s annual sales event is back — it started today, June 23, and runs through Friday, June 26.
Are you in the market for a new pair of headphones? From Sony 1000XM4 to Bose QuietComfort to Beats headphones and beyond, if you’re looking for an upgrade, you’ll find some great models — including ones that we’ve tested and loved here at Post Wanted — at some of the lowest prices ever.
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.
You’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop these great deals, but if you aren’t, no problem! A 30-day free trial is available to all new members, so you can take advantage of these great deals before the $14.99/month payments begin.
Here at The Post, we don’t just diligently fact-check to call out fake news — we also relentlessly price-check to get you inflation-beating bargains you can trust. Before we recommend a single Prime Day purchase, our experienced bargain hunters put every “deal” through our price-checking gauntlet:
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. Use the links below to jump to your preferred model, or scroll to check out everything worth shopping.
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.
I recently upgraded my own AirPods after six years with the original AirPods Pro and the difference is absolutely shocking. These are far and away the best headphones Apple has ever offered.
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.
If you prefer your headphones with active noise cancellation, there’s an AirPods 4 deal available for you to shop today.
The same AirPods as mentioned above, but now with two years of AppleCare+, so if you’re clumsy with your headphones, this deal has your back.
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.
Post Wanted’s Deputy Editor, Holly J Coley, could wear these noise-canceling Soundcore by Anker headphones “all darn day and night!” She says, “They offer a thunderous bass and ultra crisp audio that’s allowed me to pick up melodies I’ve completely missed with other headphones. People always compliment me on how they look, too!”
If you’re looking for a pair that balances quality with affordability, this JLab pair is the one for you. This is an affordable pair of over-ear wireless headphones that combine active noise cancellation, customizable sound settings, and long battery life in a comfortable everyday design. They stand up against the best of them and are one of the most comfortable options I’ve tried.
The SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 are premium open-ear sports headphones that combine bone conduction and air conduction technology to deliver clearer highs, deeper bass, and improved situational awareness during workouts. Designed for runners and active users, they feature a lightweight, secure fit, IP55 water resistance, USB-C charging and up to 12 hours of battery life for all-day performance.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 are premium over-ear wireless headphones featuring adaptive sound control, up to 30 hours of battery life, and advanced microphone technology for calls. These deliver an immersive audio experience whether at home, work or while traveling.
With two modes, Quiet and Aware, these are as practical as they are luxurious. The battery life lasts all day and is designed to support your on-the-go lifestyle, with secure and supportive padding to prioritize comfort.
The lightweight design of this Sony model pairs with active noise canceling to keep distractions at bay while being comfortable enough to wear all day.
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Bluetooth Headphones deliver rich, high-resolution sound with adaptive noise cancellation, premium comfort, and elegant design for an immersive wireless listening experience.
The Sony WF-1000XM6 are premium truly wireless earbuds that offer industry-leading noise cancellation, rich high-resolution sound, and intelligent adaptive features in a compact, comfortable design built for all-day listening. They fit comfortably and the sound quality is among the best of all the pairs I’ve tried throughout the years.
This Post Wanted-approved pair of Soundcore earbuds is deeply discounted 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 JBL Soundgear Clips are lightweight open-ear wireless earbuds that clip comfortably onto your ears, delivering clear JBL sound while keeping you aware of your surroundings throughout the day. After testing, they’ve been secure enough to handle anything the day throws at me, and the balance between sound and ambient noises filtering in is exactly what you want out of a pair of headphones like these.
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.
Lightweight and easy to use, this Anker pair makes music, podcasts and calls feel like a smooth soundtrack for your day without getting in the way.
Experience classic Beats sound with Beats Studio Buds+, featuring personalized Active Noise Cancelling, Transparency mode, and spatial audio for both music and calls.
Lightweight and easy to carry, these earbuds are built for listening on the go. They deliver great value and sound for anyone seeking affordable wireless audio.
The JBL Tour Pro 3 are premium true wireless earbuds featuring adaptive noise cancellation, immersive JBL Pro Sound, and a smart charging case with touchscreen controls for a seamless listening experience on the go.
