October Prime Day: 5 early headphones deals worth checking out

Amazon's October Prime Day (otherwise known as Prime Big Deal Days) is back again this year, with an official start date of Oct. 7.

Though there's still a week and change to the sale's start date, early deals are already cropping up on everything from MacBooks to robot vacuums. Headphones deals haven't kicked off in earnest yet, though Amazon did announce that Bose headphones will be on sale for up to 45% off. Based on fall Prime Days of years' past, we also expect to see savings on Beats, AirPods, and Sony headphones.

So far, we've tracked down five headphones deals worth checking out, including a markdowns on our favorite pair of budget headphones and headphones with the best battery life. We'll be updating this list as more deals go live in the lead up to Prime Day.

Why we like it

How do noise-cancelling headphones under $50 sound? Well, if they're the JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones — pretty good! Though these headphones won't deliver the same robust profile as a pair of Bose QuietComforts, they do have excellent battery life, well-balanced sound quality, decent ANC, and the option to customize the on-ear controls. For less than $50, these are a great budget option.
