Every year, Amazon Prime Day delivers a huge assortment of limited-time deals, including big discounts on headphones across all budgets. Prime Day 2024 will be held on July 16 and 17. We'll be rounding up the best Prime Day headphone deals once the event begins.  

During last year's Prime Day, many popular headphones from Apple, Bose, and Sony went on sale, and we expect similar savings in 2024. But while the biggest discounts won't pop up until Prime Day officially starts, we're already seeing some excellent deals on headphones right now. Apple's entry-level AirPods are down to $90, just $10 more than their all-time low. And the Sennheiser Momentum 4, one of our picks for the best noise-canceling headphones, are on sale for around $100 off.     

Below, you can find all the best early headphone deals ahead of Prime Day. We'll be updating our list with more discounts in the lead-up to Prime Day, so be sure to check back. And for more details, head over to our full Amazon Prime Day guide packed with helpful information. 

Best early Prime Day headphone deals

When is Amazon Prime Day?

This year's Amazon Prime Day will take place on July 16 and 17. The event runs for 48 hours and will kick off at 12:01 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET on July 16.

Are Prime Day headphone deals good?

Prime Day typically offers excellent discounts on headphones. Over-ear models, earbuds, and even gaming headsets sometimes drop to all-time low prices, with deals that often rival those on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

What headphone deals do we expect for Prime Day?

Based on what we've seen during past sales, it's safe to assume that we'll see Prime Day 2024 headphone deals from popular brands like Apple, Sony, Bose, Beats, Sennheiser, Anker, Jabra, JBL, and Samsung.

Last year, top deals included Apple's AirPods (2nd Generation) for 40% off. The second-gen AirPods are our pick for the best AirPods on a budget, so any additional deals make them an even better value. We also saw Bose's highly-rated QuietComfort 45 Headphones drop to only $200.

This year we expect to see many of our best over-ear headphones and best wireless earbuds picks on sale during Prime Day.
