21 best October Prime Day headphones deals: Save on Sony, Apple, Bose

Amazon's October Prime Day (otherwise known as Prime Big Deal Days) is live. As expected, the two-day sale (running Oct. 7-8) has delivered a huge wave of discounts on some of the best headphones and earbuds from top brands like Bose, Sony, and Apple. The savings are plentiful. Bose has marked down their QuietComfort headphones by $160, while the Sony WH-1000XM4's reached $188, their lowest price ever.

Considering that new flagship headphones now cost $450 minimum, shopping events like Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday are your best chance to grab the latest headphones at a good price.

To help you narrow your search, we're rounding up only the best October Prime Day headphone deals. We’ll be updating this list throughout the entire 48-hour event as new deals drop and old ones sell out.

Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 denote an all-time low price.

Why we like it

The Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are a Mashable Choice award winner (with a near-perfect 4.7 out of 5 score) for a reason. They offer an incredible 30 hours of battery life, a quick-charge feature that gets you three hours of playback in just three minutes, and some of the best noise cancellation on the market. In fact, Mashable Deputy Editor Miller Kern found the noise cancellation so good, she ditched her AirPods Pro for them. "As someone who primarily listens to music through AirPods Pro, the noise cancellation on the Sony headphones is a game-changer," she said. "I found myself reaching for these headphones over my AirPods."
