When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?

Amazon Prime Day begins on July 8, 2025, and ends on July 11, 2025.

Are headphones really cheaper on Prime Day?

Yes, you can find headphones at discounted prices during Prime Day. I spend a lot of time testing headphones and tracking their retail and discounted prices. All of the headphones, earbuds, and Bluetooth speakers included in this list are discounted from their original sale price.

The only headphones with an MSRP increase ahead of Prime Day are the Bose QuietComfort over-ear headphones. At their fall 2023 launch, they were $349, and now they are $359.

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

We only included headphones, earbuds, and Bluetooth speakers that we've tested and used in our Prime Day recommendations. We use these products beyond our initial testing period to see how well they hold up during long-term testing.

We also include deals from popular brands, helping our readers know when the most in-demand products are on sale. Some products have deeper discounts than others, but we try to include products with at least a 20% discount.
