Sony's WF-C510 are our favourite budget earbuds, and you can snag a pair for a new Aussie low of AU$61 – if you're quick
Plus, there's loads of other great headphone deals in Amazon's October Prime sale

As our pick for the best cheap wireless earbuds without ANC, we think the Sony WF-C510 earbuds are perfect for anyone shopping on a budget and a solid buy even at their AU$109.95 launch price.
But now, thanks to Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, you can grab them for just AU$60.47 in black. Considering they were discounted to AU$78 yesterday, this is a great deal, and the extra 22% off brings them down to the lowest price we've seen.
By comparison, they are also discounted at retailers like JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and Myer right now, but this Amazon deal beats the next best price by over AU$15.
So if you need an inexpensive daily pair or a reliable spare set of earbuds, the Sony WF-C510s are light, fit comfortably and deliver clear sound, making this deal an easy recommendation.

We gave these earbuds 4.5 stars in our Sony WF-C510 review and were so impressed that we'd actually pick them over the Apple AirPods 4. We do wish they had ANC, and while we didn’t love that the case only adds 11 hours of runtime, the earbuds themselves last an impressive 11 hours between charges and overall offer a great mix of sound quality, comfort and battery life.
We loved these earbuds at the original price, but there are a couple of caveats. As mentioned, there is no active noise cancellation. You do get passive isolation, though, and with several ear tip sizes included, it should be easy to find a snug, secure fit that keeps out plenty of noise.
Given the strong all-round performance at a very affordable price, this minor drawback is not really a big concern.
Still, if you are looking for earbuds with active noise cancellation but also need to stick to a tight budget, then it's well worth taking a look at our guide to the best noise-cancelling earbuds.
Out of these top-rated ANC models, our affordable favourites are the EarFun Air Pro 3s – currently just AU$66.96 on Amazon and at an equal all-time low price. They earned 4.5 stars in our EarFun Air Pro 3 review thanks to great experiences with their fit, sound, noise cancelling and battery.
