October Prime Day: 5 headphones deals worth checking out

Amazon's October Prime Day (otherwise known as Prime Big Deal Days) is back again this year.

Early deals have been cropping up over the last week on everything from MacBooks to robot vacuums. Headphones deals are expected to kick off further as the event gets fully underway, and Amazon has announced 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 eight 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 throughout 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.
