Prime Day 2 headphone deals

As with many things in life – Dairy Milk bar variants, the Netflix catalogue, Easyjet destinations – there is always too much choice when it comes to Amazon Prime Day headphone deals

While the retailer's October Prime Day event taking place today (until midnight) has fewer pairs on offer than its summer one, not to mention Black Friday, there are still several models on Amazon wearing red sales banners. And no, they aren't all worth your time and money.

But some most certainly are, and we've sorted the wheat from the chaff to pick out six that we can confidently call Bloody Great Deals.

We have reviewed hundreds of headphones available on the market today, so we know which pairs offer the best combination of sound quality, everyday features and long-lasting comfort, and what price is a good price for each based on their original RRP, age and previous discounts, and the current competition. After all, the best deals aren't defined by the biggest savings alone.

The six below are all examples of Prime Day 2 headphone deals that see great products hit great prices.

The cheapest true wireless earbuds we can heartily recommend, these five-star Earfuns do the basics right – and are now down to just £28 for Prime Day 2. A very decent buy if you're looking for cheap earbuds and your budget doesn't stretch to the Sonys just below.

THE BEST BUDGET TRUE WIRELESS EARBUDS
was £169 now £100 at Amazon

Panasonic RZ-S500W ANC wireless earbuds was £169 now £59 at Amazon (save £89)
One of the very best true wireless earbuds you can buy for under £100, second only to the £98 Sony WF-C700N. They offer a combination of features (including active noise cancellation – rare at this price) and sound quality that is fantastic for the money. These really are earbuds bargains.

Sennheiser Momentum 3 ANC wireless earbuds was £230 now £162 at Amazon (save £68)
Six years into the true wireless game, Sennheiser is as competitive as ever in the premium space. The latest noise-cancelling Momentums build on an already winning recipe with an improved feature set, a decent step-up in performance and a much kinder price tag. Very appealing at this Prime Day 2 price for those who can't quite stretch to the £199 Bose QC Earbuds II below. Five stars

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II ANC wireless earbuds was £279 now £200 at Amazon (save £79)
Despite being recently succeeded by the £300 Bose QuietComfort Ultras, Bose’s former flagships boast a fantastic sound and peerless noise-cancelling ability that sees them set the benchmark at this discounted price point.

Do I need to be a Prime member to bag a Prime Day headphone deal?

In a word, yes. Amazon does offer non-Prime members a handful of headphones deals, but only Prime subscribers get exclusive access to the most generous discounts. Only the Panasonic earbuds deal of the six above are available to non-Prime members.

Not a Prime member? Don't worry – you can be, and for free too. Just be sure to take advantage of the 30-day free Prime trial to bag the best prices. And remember to cancel if you don't want a monthly bill when the trial ends.
