Best headphones and ear buds for Prime Day

AirPods, Airpods, and Wireless at Amazon Prime Day: Deals and Hurry-Ups (Update July 16th and 17th)

Update, July 16th: Adjusted pricing and removed expired deals where needed. Also included are the JLab Go Air Pop and theGalaxy Buds 2 Pro.

I don’t know if people wear headphones in the summer. I’m strictly in earbuds mode when the temperatures climb 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.

There are a lot of deals for Prime Day in four years. The two-day event has many of our favorite earbuds and headphones on sale for their lowest prices yet.

Some products (like Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Max) are due for a refresh in the coming months, but there’s nothing wrong with picking up the current version — especially at some of these prices. 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 are much lower than their competitors and are even better at quieting the outside world than anyone else.

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones still offer plenty of bang for the buck with excellent ANC, lively sound, and lengthy battery life. They are not the company’s newest, but they are still 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. You have to be a Prime member to purchase the tan model, but it will be on sale for an all-time low of $35 cheap on July 16th and 17th. If selected, Amazon will email you details on how to complete your purchase, which is how invite-only deals will work throughout the event.

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’ll last up to six hours per charge, too, or 20 hours with the included charging case.

Amazon’s newest Echo Buds lack ANC but feature a semi-open design that should make it easier to remain aware of your surroundings. They have a support for multipoint pairs and integration with Amazon’s smart speaker.

The J Lab Go Air Pop have eight hours of battery life, and come with a charging case. The case has a built-in charging plug so you never have to worry about charging your phone.

The HyperX Cloud III Wireless and the InZone H3 Wireless: Three Amazon Prime Day Best Tech Deals Gadgets For ‘The Dart Blaster’

The dart blaster is powered by a rotating drum feed and fires up to 10 darts. The light-up blaster is a pretty faithful recreation of the Needler, one of the mainstay Covenant weapons from the Halo game franchise, and it comes with a display stand to show it off.

The Ember Mug 2 is a temperature-controlled smart mug that keeps beverages hot. You can use the accompanying apps to dial in a temperature from 120 to 145 degrees.

The AirFly Duo transmitter and receiver has an integrated 3.5mm cord. It can also connect up to two sets of headphones, making it a great choice for listening to in-flight entertainment.

The Western Digital storage expansion cards for the consoles are plug-and-play, and have the same performance as the consoles’ onboard solid state drives. They offer a slightly lower-cost alternative to Seagate’s expansion cards, which were the only game in town for years.

The HyperX Cloud III Wireless is a 2.4GHz wireless headset for PC, PlayStation, and the Nintendo Switch that sports 120 hours of battery life, large 53mm drivers, USB-C charging, and a detachable boom mic with a built-in pop filter. It continues the low weight and excellent comfort of the Cloud.

The wired InZone H3 is one of Sony’s newest headsets and is compatible with both the PS3 and PC. You can make the sound profile of InZone headsets with the InZone companion and Sony’s Spatial Sound Personalizer.

Amazon Prime Day Best Tech Deals Gadgets 2024: What to Expect from the Charge 6 and the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro

The Charge 6 features an improved heart rate and is capable of broadcasting your heart rate on certain gym equipment. Read our review.

The L20 Ultra is a bot that can vacuum floor and clean baseboards with its mops. It has 7,000Pa suction and a bigger base station and fewer advanced cleaning features than the newer X30 and X40 Ultra models, but it’s still an excellent robot vacuum.

When it is on sale, the Q5 Pro is a great affordable option because it features a big bin, 5,500Pa of power and an auto-empty dock. It also mops with a removable mopping pad with a small water tank built in. It has dual rubber brushes, lidar mapping, and keep-out zones, and the app is very good.

The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has high-end features — an oscillating mop, big bin, mapping, keep-out zones — for a low price. Its navigation can be spotty and its suction power is a lowish 3,000Pa, but you can get it for under $200, which is a real bargain. We recommend you read our review.
