Welcome to the house of Earfun
Earfun is a name you'd be forgiven for not being familiar with. But the little-known company has made a good habit of making good quality, affordable wireless earbuds. They also sport huge batteries, so they'll last a long time between charges, even though some of the models also support active noise-cancelling for blocking outside noise.
If it’s inexpensive, good-sounding waterproof buds that you seek, the Earfun Air are tough to beat and are now available for just £25.
For extra features, including noise-cancelling, the EarFun Air Pro also received a five-star review and they're now on sale for £45, down from £60.
Audiophiles assemble!
Our in-house team of expert reviewers have tested audiophile headphones in their hundreds and handpicked the best performers across a wide range of budgets. And they are not necessarily prohibitively expensive – great-value sound quality worthy of the 'audiophile' label does exist.
But what about discounts?
Well, the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X, our no.2 pick, are currently reduced from their original price of £299 to £219, which is a tidy £80 saving. We will keep our eyes peeled for more discounts on hi-fi headphones once the Amazon sale gets started in earnest.
If you're an iPhone user, Apple's AirPods are the logical choice. Although discounts are rarely huge, there are usually deals to be had on most models. And with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days imminent, we have spotted some savings on the AirPods 3 and the AirPods Max.
You can save 13% on the AirPods 3 earbuds, which are now down to £139, while the AirPods Max have a 14% saving, which brings their price down to £429.
We'll be keeping an eye out for lower prices on Tuesday and Wednesday during the Big Deal Days sale.
The best of the best – and they're on sale
If you're in the market for a pair of wireless earbuds and don't know where to start, then we would humbly suggest you take a look at this list of the very best wireless earbuds that we've tested.
We review hundreds of pairs of headphones and earbuds every year and only the top pairs make the cut. We test them in isolation but also against their competition, and we always review all of the key features. We have dedicated test rooms so we can hear the headphones at their best but will also ensure we test them in real world situations to, from taking the train to making calls or listening to music in noisy places.
The Sony WF-1000XM5 are our current no.1 and, happily, you can find these on sale for £189 right now on Amazon, a saving of 27% on their original £259 RRP.

What is Amazon Big Deal Days?
Amazon Big Deal Day is Amazon's autumn sale, essentially another Prime Day but in October rather than July.
Prime Day began in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon's 20th anniversary. While other online retailers get involved in the Black Friday bargain bun fight, Prime Day is all about Amazon, though you will see other retailers lowering prices to stay competitive.
And it's not just about headphones, of course.
Amazon will be cutting 1000s of prices on everything from air fryers to smart watches, DIY tools to video games.
Prime Big Deal Days officially starts on Tuesday 8th October and runs until 9th October 2024 but if we know Amazon - and we've covered every single Prime Day sale to date - then expect the deals to start sooner and go on longer... And sure enough, some of the deals are now live on Monday, like this 62% saving on the Fire TV Stick.
