During Amazon Prime Day, the price of these earbuds has been slashed from $249 down to just $169. How's that for music to your ears?
Apple AirPods (3rd Generation): $120 (29% off)
During this year's Amazon Prime Day sale, we saw the least expensive Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) earbuds -- which are the "entry level" wireless earbuds from Apple -- actually sell out on Amazon.
However, during these final hours of Amazon Prime Day 2024, if you're a Prime member, you can still snag the Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) which are on sale for 29% off. This brings their price down to a mere $120.
These 3rd generation earbuds are more feature-packed than the AirPods (2nd Generation), but don't offer the same performance or sound quality as the premium AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) earbuds.
Confused? Check out our 2024 Apple AirPods buyer's guide to help you better understand the difference between these three earbud models.
The AirPods (3rd Generation) do not offer noise cancellation, but they do provide impressive spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support and are sweat and water resistant. They also come with a charging case with a Lightning port (not a USB Type-C port). During each charge, you get up to six hours of listening time, but with multiple charges in their case, you can extend this to up to 30 hours before needing an external power source.
Apple AirPods Max: $395 (28% off)
Looking to splurge on new AirPods this Prime Day? The third-generation AirPods Max are an excellent choice. They're certainly the best of Apple's entire lineup, and status symbols, to say the least.
Hardly understated, the Apple AirPods Max are all about big, booming sound, cushioned earcups, active noise-cancelation technology, and a special transparency mode so you can hear what you need to when you need to. All that, and they still manage to pack in 15 hours of listening, and they even come in a variety of different colors.
The AirPods Max usually go for $549, but they're on sale for $395 right now at Amazon with a Prime membership. That's a discount of 28%, so it's a good time to go ahead and get yours now.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: $145 (37% off)
Just as Apple AirPods are perfect for Apple users, if you're a proud user of a Samsung Galaxy device, including any of the company's latest smartphones, tablets, smartwatches or smart TVs, these Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro wireless earbuds are reliable audio companions. You can expect a long battery life and the ability to enjoy high-quality audio, regardless of what you're listening to.
These earbuds also work seamlessly with any Android mobile device and are compatible with Bluetooth devices that are able to stream audio. Noteworthy features include excellent noise cancelation, the ability to playback Hi-Fi audio, 360-degree audio support and IPX7 sweat/water resistance.
Choose between graphite, purple or white. Right now, these earbuds are on sale from Amazon for just $145 -- that's 37% off their usual $230 price.
Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling overhead headphones: $198 (43% off)

Sony's WH-1000XM wireless headphones are among the best out there for the average consumer, but they typically come at a premium price. The current model WH-1000XM5 headphones are normally $400, but during Amazon Prime Day, they're on sale for $298 (which is 25% off).

You also get touch-sensitive controls on the ear cups and a handy speak-to-chat feature that reduces the volume of what you're listening to when you need to communicate with people around you.
When you just want to focus on the audio you're listening to, Sony's noise cancelation technology is top-notch. And we love the audio quality these headphones offer during hands-free calls, even when you're in a noisy environment. One of the best features these headphones offer is DSEE Extreme, which automatically upscales compressed digitally music files in real-time, so streaming audio will sound even more robust and clear.
Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones: $298 (25% off)
As you just read, the previous version of Sony's WH-1000XM headphones are on sale for $198, but if you want the absolute best consumer headphones that Sony has to offer (as well as their latest model), we recommend spending $100 more to purchase these Sony XM-1000XM5 headphones. They're on sale for 25% off, so you'll pay just $298 for them during the final few hours of Amazon Prime Day 2024.
These headphones use two audio processors, eight microphones and Sony's proprietary Processor V1 to deliver cutting-edge noise cancelation, combined with enhanced audio quality and better overall performance. These are the headphones you want when listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, or the audio from TV shows and movies. Yes, they work seamlessly with iOS and Android mobile devices, Windows and MacOS computers, as well as with Sony smart TVs.

Bose is a world leader when it comes to high-end audio and noise cancellation technology. Inside the QuietComfort Ultra headphones, the company has bundled all of its latest technologies, so not only will you enjoy all-day comfort from these premium headphones, you also get superior noise cancelation and amazingly clear and robust audio -- whether you're listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, audio from games or participating in a hands-free phone call.
And for the first time, Bose has added the latest spatial audio technology into these headphones, so when you're listening to compatible music or audio from a movie, for example, it'll sound like audio is coming from different directions around your head. Spatial audio creates a far more immersive listening experience.
We love these headphones because they offer really impressive sound quality combined with up to a 24-hour battery life. They're great for blocking out noise on an airplane or train. However, they're also perfect for when working in a busy (and loud) office, since they do a great job making hands-free calls sound crystal-clear.
In our coverage of the five best headphones with spatial audio, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones were our number one pick. Since these headphones are now on sale for 19% off, which brings their price down to just $349, we highly recommend them for the value and premium quality they offer.

Amazon Echo Buds (2023 edition): $25 (50% off)
Wireless earbuds are the perfect audio playback companion for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and other gear that supports Bluetooth audio streaming. We're fans of these Amazon Echo Buds earbuds because they work nicely with iOS, Android, ChromeOS, Windows and MacOS devices. Plus, they're extremely affordable.

At this price, however, you need to forfeit some often-sought-after features, like noise cancelation and spatial audio support. But if you're looking for entry-level wireless earbuds that are affordable, the Amazon Echo Buds are worth considering.

The earbuds are available in black, white or blue.

So, without having to tinker with the controls, whatever you're listening to will remain at a consistent volume even if you travel between a loud environment and a quiet one. This applies to hands-free calls, too.
Whether you're listening to streaming audio, participating in a hands-free call or gaming, these earbuds offer clear and consistent sound quality for a fraction of what you'd pay for competing earbuds with similar features.
