Just like that, fall is here and so is the holiday shopping season.
We're kicking things off with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, otherwise known as October Prime Day. The sitewide sale runs from Oct. 6 to 7, and deals on headphones are popping off.
Standouts include the first-ever price cut on the new Bose QuietComfort headphones (some of the best I've tested this year) and a $65 price cut on the Technics EAH-AZ100, our favorite premium earbuds for sound quality. Other deals have had some fluctuation in the lead-up — the AirPods Pro dropped to $199 only to go up to $234, and now they're down to $179 — but we'll be keeping this list updated.
Below, check out the best headphones and earbuds deals live on October Prime Day, according to someone who tests them.
Deals marked with a ✅ are Mashable editor favorites and award winners. Deals marked with a strikethrough are no longer available.
This year, Bose released the second rendition of QuietComfort headphones. While they're a standout — and also on sale — the first generation of QC headphones are down to their lowest price ever.
Now $169, you can save $190 on the Bose QuietComfort headphones during Prime Big Deal Days. That saves you 53% on the stellar headphones that deliver all-day comfort and excellent noise cancellation. If you don't want to miss out on spatial audio and can stretch your budget, the second-generation Bose QuietComfort headphones are a standout release of 2026.
