You can find impressive discounts from brands like Apple, Sony, and Beats earbuds and over-ear headphones with prices starting at just $15.99. As TechRadar's deals editor who's been shopping Amazon's early sale for weeks, I've listed the only seven headphone deals worth buying below.

A few of my favorite offers include a $30 Amazon gift card with the all-new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, Apple's wired EarPods for only $15.99, and the Beats Studio Buds on sale for $99.95.

Keep in mind that, unlike Amazon Prime Day, today's early headphone deals are for everyone - no Prime membership required. If you aren't already a member and want to shop the July sale, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will take you through to the official four-day Prime Day event.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Amazon's early Prime Day sale has a $50 discount on the best-selling AirPods Pro 2. The earbuds sound excellent; the noise cancellation is top-tier, Dolby Atmos spatial audio is amazing for movies, and they even have an unlosable case, thanks to technology that points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). They're also very small and light, which is great for comfort.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones

Although the Sony WH-1000MX4 are now older, they're still rated as our best headphones for most people. These wireless Sony cans package together top-notch audio, excellent comfort, and effective noise cancellation all at a reasonable price point that's about $100 less than the newer Sony XM5, which are only a minor upgrade. Today's early Prime Day deal brings the price down to $279.99.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise Canceling Headphones
