At certain times of the year, including Prime Day, you can get some truly fantastic earbuds or headphones at a steep discount. But the discounts usually happen for a reason. Sometimes the discounts are on older, but still excellent, models that are about to be replaced by something new, and manufacturers want to make space on their shelves.

The best Prime Day headphone deals include great discounts on high-end wireless earbuds and noise-canceling options, from AirPods to Bose models.
