Prime Day Headphone Deals: All-Time Lows on Top Models

9to5Google lists the best Prime Day headphone deals, with record-low prices on Sony, Bose, Nothing, and more.

Prime Day has brought some of the best headphone prices we've seen this year. 9to5Google rounded up the deals that are actually worth your money, with several hitting all-time lows. Here's the breakdown, with our verdict on each.

Nothing Headphone (1) at $189 is a Buy. It's the lowest price ever for these over-ear cans, and they sound great for the money. The Nothing Ear (3) earbuds at $99 are also a Buy, far below their previous $129 low.

Sony's lineup is heavily discounted. The WH-1000XM5 headphones at $198 match their all-time low. The newer WH-1000XM6 at $378 are also a record, $20 less than June's Prime Day. Both are buys. The XM5s are the better value if you don't need the latest model. The WF-1000XM6 earbuds at $258 are also a Buy. 9to5Google says Sony's direct store has the same prices if you prefer that.

Bose's last-gen QuietComfort Headphones are $169, a Buy for budget-conscious shoppers. The QC Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) at $369 match their lowest ever, and they sound better, so spend the extra if you can.

Google fans: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are $179. That's not the $169 Black Friday price, so we say Wait unless you need earbuds now.

Apple's AirPods Pro 3 at $179 are a Buy. The AirPods Max 2 at $429 are still expensive, so we say Wait for a bigger discount.

All deals require an Amazon Prime membership.
