Best earbuds deals ahead of October Prime Day
We’re just one week away from Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days — aka October Prime Day — and earbuds deals are starting to roll in.
While the deals aren’t nearly as extensive as we expect them to be come Oct. 7 and 8 — the official days of the sale — there are a few notable deals worth checking out, both for noise-cancelling and open earbuds options.
As expected, Amazon’s marked down its noise-cancelling Echo Buds an impressive 71% ahead of the sale, but you do need a Prime membership to take advantage of the deal. Less expected was a first-time markdown on the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, which just hit the market on Sept. 10.
You’ll find these deals, plus more of the best we’ve seen so far, below. Plus, we’ll be updating this list in the lead-up to October Prime Day.
Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal
Why we like it
The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds don’t exactly reinvent the wheel from their previous gen, but they’re still some of the best noise-cancelling earbuds money can buy. Their asking price is high, though, so this small discount is a welcome one, especially considering they just became available to consumers a few weeks ago. If you’re looking for top-of-the-line noise cancellation and comfort that makes earbuds wearable all day long, you’re not likely to be disappointed with these buds.

Best open earbuds deal
Why we like it
Shokz bone conducting earbuds are a popular pick for many runners, thanks to their secure fit, solid battery life, and durability. While we prefer the second generation of the OpenRun Pro, they are harder to grab on sale. So, if you’re looking to pick up a pair of open earbuds ASAP, the first-generation OpenRun Pro are still a solid option, with 10 hours of battery life, a titanium frame, and solid sound quality for open earbuds.
