Beats Studio Buds: a record low $89.99
Sony WH-CH720: noise-canceling headphones under $100
Sennheiser HD 660S2: save $200 on audiophile headphones
Sony WH-1000XM5: awesome ANC for a record low price

AirPods Pro 2: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FApple-Generation-Cancelling-Transparency-Personalized%2Fdp%2FB0BDHWDR12%2F%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">was ~~$249~~ now $199 at Amazon
This is the joint-lowest price these buds have been since their launch, and they're excellent value here – the sound quality is fantastic, the noise cancellation is up with the best-in-class buds, and they're packed with smart features for iPhone users. We doubt you'll see a lower price over Prime Day. Here's our full <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/airpods-pro-2" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">AirPods Pro 2 review where we rave about them.

Sony WH-CH720: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FSony-WH-CH720N-Canceling-Headphones-Microphone%2Fdp%2FB0BS1QCFHX%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $149.99~~ now $98 at Amazon
This 35% off discount is the cheapest we've seen these Sony over-ears by some margin – their previous lowest-seen price on Amazon was $128 back in April. As we said in our four-star <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wh-ch720n-review" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Sony WH-CH720 review, these mid-range Sony cans pack in a lot of audio finesse and smart features for the price. Unlike Sony's cheaper earbuds, they're not stealing flagship-like performance from the gods, but they're a comfortable, enjoyable listen, and the ANC does a good job of lowering outside noise.

Beats Studio Buds: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB096SRYXMP%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $149.95~~ now $89.99 at Amazon
As our detailed <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/beats-studio-buds-review" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Studio Buds review states, Apple's June 2021 Beats-branded buds are "some of the best Beats buds you can buy", and with this discount they're even more tempting. This discount equals their lowest-ever-seen price, too. Yes, the newer <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/beats-studio-buds-plus-a-clear-wireless-earbuds-upgrade" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Beats Studio Buds Plus have landed, but these are now about half the price, while still delivering fast pairing, active noise cancelation, Find My support, and more.

Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ears: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0C5ZC7FWR%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $399.99~~ now $328 at Amazon
Quite simply the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. If it's the best noise cancelation you want (and you also want excellent sound and smart features), you can't do better, as our full <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wh-1000xm5-wireless-headphones" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Sony WH-1000XM5 review makes clear – especially with this much off! Have we seen them this cheap before? No – we've seen them drop to $349 before, but never this low.

JBL Tune 510BT: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FJBL-Tune-510BT-Ear-Headphones%2Fdp%2FB08WM3LMJF%2F%3Fth%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $49.95~~ now $39.95 at Amazon
JBL does extremely well at delivering bang for your buck, and though we haven't tested these headphones, based on our experience with the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/best-cheap-headphones" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">best cheap headphones from the company, we doubt you'll do any better on sound and comfort from on-ear headphones for under $40.

Skullcandy Crusher Wireless: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FSkullcandy-Crusher-Wireless-Over-Ear-Headphones%2Fdp%2FB01DWH77GC%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $199.99~~ now $109.95 at Amazon
In our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/hi-fi-and-audio/headphones/skullcandy-crusher-1271902/review" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Skullcandy Crusher Wireless review, we said that if you like big bass (and you cannot lie) or tinkering with the sound of your headphones, these are great fun. This isn't the cheapest they've ever been – they hit $80 in 2021 – but it's basically the lowest they've fallen since then. They're older headphones, but are still an interesting choice with this kind of discount.

Sennheiser HD 660S2 headphones: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BRT1ZN7Q%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $599.95~~ <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BRT1ZN7Q%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">now $399.95 at Amazon
This great deal sees some stunning open-backed studio-grade wired over-ears made by Sennheiser drop to significantly less than we've ever seen them. Our<a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sennheiser-hd-660s2-review" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US""> Sennheiser HD 660S2 review is the place to go for details on these gentle giants, but suffice to say if it's detail and finesse in a wired design you're after, take a hard look (or listen) at these.

Jabra Elite 5 earbuds: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BHJF9WYN%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">~~was $149.99~~ now $99.99 at Amazon
These were $10 cheaper over Prime Day, but are still a good deal today. While these earbuds have not been given a full TechRadar review, our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/jabras-elite-5-earbuds-boast-premium-anc-and-6-mic-call-tech-for-under-dollar150" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">initial reaction to the September 2022 issue earbuds was resoundingly positive thanks to their upgraded mic setup for super-clear call handling. Their best-ever asking price before this Prime Day discount was $101.

Amazon Prime Day headphones deals: UK

Sony WH-1000XM4: the best headphones under £200
Sony WH-CH520: the best headphones under £50

Sony WH-1000XM4: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FSony-WH-1000XM4-Cancelling-Wireless-Headphones-Black%2Fdp%2FB08C7KG5LP%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">was ~~£350~~ now £199 at Amazon
This is a record-low price for the model we rate as the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/audio/portable-audio/best-headphones-1280340" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">best headphones in the world for most people. For this price, nothing gives you such rich sound, great noise cancellation, and smart features – all in a lightweight and comfortable package, as our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wh-1000xm4-wireless-headphones" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">Sony WH-1000XM4 review tells you. Do not miss this offer if you want quality ANC headphones.

Sony LinkBuds S earbuds: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB09Y2HHL3R%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">~~was £180~~ now £125.99 at Amazon
Exceptionally small, light, comfortable earpieces with a great control app plus a slew of well-implemented on-ear control options. They're not the most dynamic or zealous listen we've ever heard, but for this money the sound is still up there with the best in show. Although we briefly (very briefly) saw them dip to one penny below £100 in October last year, at this price they're a solid bet from a trusted name in audio – particularly <a href="https://www.techradar.com/features/i-think-ive-finally-found-the-best-fitting-earbuds-for-small-ears-thank-you-sony" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">if you have smaller ears.

Sony WF-C500: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FSony-WF-C500-Wireless-Headphones-Built-Black%2Fdp%2FB09FKGJ1CB%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">was ~~£90~~ now £56.49 at Amazon
These are excellent buds for the price – lightweight, comfortable, and they sound impressive. Being from Sony, there's a great balance to the audio, and they're lively and expressive, as our full <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wf-c500" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">Sony WF-C500 review explains. The under £60 earbuds category has become hot recently, with big names and upstarts all competing – but you can't go wrong with Sony.

Sony WH-CH520: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FSony-WH-CH520-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones-Black%2Fdp%2FB0BTJD6LCL%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">was ~~£60~~ now £47.97 at Amazon
We only recently posted our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-wh-ch520" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">Sony WH-CH520 review, and it was a rave – we said you basically can't get better sound for the price. And already the price has fallen by 20%, so if you want some great budget on-ear headphones, look no further.

JBL Tune 760NC: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB096FYLJ6M%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">~~was £119~~ now £59.99 at Amazon
Looking for headphones with solid noise cancellation and fun sound, and good comfort for long wearing sessions? The mid-range JBL Tune headphones are ideal – especially at this more budget price. These dropped to cheaper than this over Black Friday last year – as low as £50. But if you like the price and what's on offer, we think they're a good deal right now anyway.

When did Amazon Prime Day headphone deals end?

Amazon's 2023 Prime Day sale officially took place from Tuesday, July 11, to Wednesday, July 12. So most of the deals ended at midnight on Wednesday – but as you can see on this page, lots of the best stuff is still available!

Do you need Amazon Prime to buy Prime Day headphone deals?

An Amazon Prime membership was required to take full advantage of this year's Prime Day headphone deals, but anything left now will be available to all. While there are often listings open to everybody on Prime Day, the best deals are usually reserved for prime members only. If you're not a member, don't worry - you can still sign up for a free 30-day trial in the lead-up. That will give you access to all the offers – and you can cancel the trial at any time within 30 days.

We also saw plenty of other retailers offering competing Prime Day headphone deals last year. In the US, Best Buy and Walmart were price matching some of the record low prices we saw on big-ticket items, and in the UK, Currys was honoring price matches from Amazon as well.
