Amazon Prime Day is a great place to find earbuds and headphones

A Day in the Life: Updating Your Sound System and Hearing-Technical Gear with Prime Day: Updated Pricing and Updated Deals

Update, July 16th: Adjusted pricing and removed expired deals where needed. There were also new deals, including the JLab Go Air Pop.

I don’t know how people wear headphones in the summer heat. I only use my earbuds when the temperature climbs to this high. But no matter your preference, Amazon Prime Day is a great opportunity to upgrade your aging gear (and declining battery life) with the latest and greatest from Bose, Samsung, Sony, and plenty of other brands.

Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale is here through July 17th, offering you a chance to save big on all kinds of gadgets and endless amounts of other junk you probably don’t need. And we’re here to help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

There is nothing wrong with getting the current version of the product because there will be a refresh in the coming months. You’ll want to check back often, as we’ll be adding the best deals as they come up.

If you want the absolute best noise cancellation in the game, Bose’s latest QuietComfort Ultra products should be your pick. They beat out all competitors when it came to quieting the outside world, and both are now discounted at some of the lowest prices we have seen yet.

Sony’s noise-canceling headphones still offer plenty of bang for your buck with excellent ANC, lively sound, and lengthy battery life. They’re not the company’s latest, but they remain an excellent buy.

Amazon’s invite-only deal on the Sony WH-CH520 is a great opportunity to get in some early Prime Day practice. The tan model will be on sale for an all-time low of $35.99 ($44 off) on July 16th and 17th; however, you have to be a Prime member and request an invitation to purchase them. Amazon will email you details on how to complete your purchase if you’re selected, which is how invite-only deals will work.

Amazon’s entry-level Echo Buds are also on sale for Prime members at Amazon for an all-time low of $24.99 ($25 off). The wireless earbuds lack more premium features like noise cancellation and aren’t particularly attractive, but there aren’t many earbuds with seamless Alexa support, water resistance, and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity in this price range. They may last up to six hours per charge, or 20 hours with the included charging case.

The semi-open design of the newEcho Buds will make it easier to remain aware of your surroundings, even though they lack ANC. They also support multipoint pairs.

The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds have an eight-hour battery life and a charging case, which you can attach to the earbuds. The case also houses a built-in USB-A charging plug so you’re never without a charging cable.
