I get it: Amazon's October Prime Day deals are live now (in case you're just arriving, welcome – the event is officially here for 48 hours only, from Tuesday, October 7 to Wednesday, October 8), and you want cheap Earfun earbuds.

Shop Amazon's full sale

If you've found this little list of mine, you want two things: first, earbuds (ideally Earfun or similar – good choice there by the way), and secondly, not to spend much money. I get it; money's tight.

So let's get you some inexpensive earbuds while I still can, shall we? Nothing here is over $89 (or £79) and every option comes either highly rated by my trusted audio crew at TechRadar – with full review attached – or from a trusted name in the game.

Not the piece of kit you're after? That's fine – stick with us at TechRadar, though, because we've listed all the best tech deals in our Amazon Prime Day hub.

The best Amazon Big Deal Days cheap Earfun-adjacent earbuds deals, US

Earfun  Air Pro 4
Save 30% ($24.01)
Earfun Air Pro 4: was $79.99 now $55.98 at Amazon

These earbuds are an update on the class-leading (but older) Earfun Air Pro 3, and honestly, you won't find this kind of higher-resolution Bluetooth codec support elsewhere for this money – to clarify, they support both Sony's proprietary LDAC and Qualcomm's aptX Lossless. This 30% saving on earbuds that only arrived in February (see our full Earfun Air Pro 4 review for everything we loved and one or two things we didn't love) is absolutely worth it, if you need earbuds.

Earfun OpenJump: was $79.99 now $55.99 at Amazon

Want to try something a bit different? These February 2025-launch open earbuds haven't featured in my roundups before, but with open-fit designs up 400% in 2025, I think it's wise to include my pick of the bunch. Our Earfun OpenJump review is the place to get the full scoop, but for this money (and with a long battery life and useful EQ perks), they're a great shout.

Nothing Ear (a)
Save 37% ($40)
Nothing Ear (a): was $109 now $69 at Amazon

In my five-star Nothing Ear (a) review, I lauded these buds for their zealous, expansive sound, brilliant ANC, LDAC support, and highly compact design. It's hard to believe that these are on sale for less than $70 this Prime Day, despite the fact that Nothing's Ear (3) are now here and of course newer. My advice? I love these cheap earbuds.

Apple AirPods 4: was $129 now $89 at Amazon

Yes, it's the real-deal Apple AirPods 4 (the model without ANC) down from $129 to just $89, aka a return to their cheapest ever price, for Big Deal Days. They're sweat and water-resistant, deliver Apple's excellent personalized spatial audio, offer good battery life, automatic switching between your Apple devices, and have Find My support, so they're extremely hard to lose. If you want that Apple look and sound without the high-end Apple price tag, you've found it – our AirPods 4 review can tell you more.

Look, I'm putting them here in case, OK? If you need Apple products and on a tight budget, I get it – and these aren't half bad! Apple's wired headphones are on sale for only $15.99, which is a record-low price. A slim, quality-looking design, clear sound, and comfortable fit are just a few of their qualities. The earbuds also work with all devices that have a Lightning connector (and as someone currently eking out an iPhone 12 Pro, I like that).

Save 26% (£23.45)

In my five-star Nothing Ear (a) review, I genuinely couldn't get enough of the fun, energetic sound of these buds. On top of that, they have great ANC, a compact design, and an eye-catching look. Yes, they've been superseded by the newer Ear (3), but for me the smart money stays here (did I mention there's LDAC support?). Thanks to this October Prime Day deal, you can grab these buds for less than £65 (i.e. the lowest they've ever been), so don't miss out!
