Amazon Prime Day is happening now through June 26, offering discounts on headphones and earbuds, many of which are exclusive to Prime members. If you’re looking to buy Apple AirPods, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of models, including the Apple AirPods Pro 3 and Apple AirPods 4. I’ll also be tracking Apple Prime Day deals throughout the week.
Best Prime Day AirPods sales
AirPods Pro 3 are my go-to wireless earbuds and the best buds for anyone with an iPhone — trust me, I’ve tested more than 50 pairs. They have some serious upgrades over the previous version, including better noise cancellation, better battery life and improved water- and dust-resistance. They come with five eartip sizes in the box, so you can easily find your ideal fit.
AirPods 4 are a great alternative to AirPods Pro 3 if you hate the feeling of rubber eartips stuffed in your ears. They have a semi-open fit that may feel more comfortable to you, though they let in more outside noise as a result.
Apple’s over ear headphones are at their lowest price ever, so they’re worth considering. The latest AirPods Max 2 still have excellent sound quality and call quality, but even stronger noise cancelling, plus new features like adaptive audio and live translation.

Best Prime Day Beats sales
Like AirPods 4, these Beats Studio Buds + are less than $100 right now, and have noise-cancelling and transparency modes, sync easily with an iPhone and pair to the Apple FindMy network. They are also in four colors, including a striking transparent option.
These over-ear Beats headphones cost significantly less than AirPods Max 2, especially when they’re on sale. They have noise canceling and transparency modes, super long battery life of up to 40 hours, and can connect over Bluetooth or the included USB-C cable.
If you want the most secure-fitting workout headphones, these are the ones to get. They have a large ear hook shape that wraps around your ear and stays firmly in place — when I tested them they didn’t budge, no matter what workouts I did. The earbuds have noise-canceling and transparency modes, plus tiny heart rate sensors built-in. You can learn more in my Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review.
These are my favorite earbuds from Beats: They are small, comfortable, lightweight and just right as workout headphones. They have a small, built-in rubber wingtip that makes them fit snug and secure in your ear, plus they have noise-cancellation, transparency and up to 30 hours of battery life.
These headphones have the longest battery life of all of Apple and Beats’ offerings. They get up to 50 hours on a single full charge and get five hours of juice from just 10 minutes of charge. Like the Beats Studio Pro, they connect wirelessly but can also be plugged in with the included USB-C cable for more detailed audio quality in supported apps. They don’t have automated noise-canceling or transparency modes, though, so they aren’t my top choice for travel or working out.
- Beats accessories: Up to 69% off
- Beats earbuds: Up to 20% off
Other Prime Day headphones and earbud sales
Here are the best Prime Day earbuds, headphones and speaker sales to know about.
This is the best headphone deal of Amazon Prime Day in my expert opinion. The Sony XM5 headphones are some of the best on the market. They have clear, crisp and detailed audio quality that make basically everything sound better. And they have great noise cancellation, call quality and battery life (up to 30 hours with noise canceling).
