The rumors are true: another Prime Day is here.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event runs through the end of the day on Oct. 7, so there's still plenty of time to shop deals on everything from TVs to outdoor gear to headphones. We've been combing through pages and pages of listings to find the deals that are actually worth grabbing, and to be frank, the headphones deals go pretty hard.

If noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds, in particular, are on your wishlist, many of Mashable's favorites are on sale. That includes the excellent Sony XM6 headphones and earbuds, the Beats Studio Pro and Powerbeats Pro 2, the AirPods Max 2 and Pro 3, and the Bose QuietComfort lineup.

Below, find the very best Prime Day deals on noise-cancelling headphones, with savings from all of the best audio brands. We'll be keeping a watchful eye on discounts as the sale continues, so check back if you don't see the exact headphones or price you're looking for just yet.

Why we like it​


Bose's latest mid-range launch, the second-generation QuietComfort headphones, brings the best parts of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones for less money. They offer comparable comfort and noise cancellation (with the latter being manually adjustable), and are the first non-Ultra headphones to feature immersive audio. The ear cushions are replaceable for future proofing, and the sound quality is warm and well-rounded. Plus, they fold up small and have unique colorways, making them great for taking on the go and adding to your outfits.

Pro tip: If you're looking to save even more money, the past-gen Bose QuietComfort headphones (which we also love) are on sale for Prime members for just $169.

None of the noise-cancelling earbuds deals are wowing us currently, which is why our top recommendation is old reliable: our favorite pair of budget earbuds. The EarFun Air Pro 4 punch above their weight class, offering hours of listening time, excellent manually adjustable ANC, solid sound quality, great multipoint pairing, and a companion app with plenty of options for customizing your listening experience. The touch controls are kind of iffy, but that's one of the only areas where these earbuds show their price point.
