Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Bose is known for some of best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, and the QC 45 is no exception to that. Not only are these really good headphones, Amazon is currently offering the best deal we've ever seen on them. The Bose QuietComfort 45 Over-Ear headphones deal drops the price down to just $199, which is on par with AirPods Pro featured above. If you're in the market for new wireless headphones, this is a hard one to pass up.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones
Although the price isn't as low as the Bose QC 45, this Prime Day deal on the popular Sony WH-1000XM5 is one of the best discounts currently available on Amazon. We liked these headphones so much that we gave them a 9 out of 10 in our review. The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around. They are the best pair of wireless headphones you can buy right now, and with a $70 discount they are a lot more affordable than usual.
Google Pixel Buds Pro
If you're looking for a good alternative to the AirPods Pro, then the Google Pixel Buds Pro are an excellent choice. Google Pixel Buds Pro are high-end earbuds offering premium, immersive sound that can adapt to you. The Pro model features Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal, up to 31 hours of total listening time, transparency mode helps you hear what’s outside, and wireless charging -- similar to the AirPods Pro. With a 34 percent discount, these earbuds drop down to $132.99, making them cheaper than the 3rd-gen AirPods.
Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones
For a cheaper pair of wireless over-ear headphones, the Beats Solo3 deal is worth a look. Beats are popular for a reason. They offer great sound, sleek design, comfort, and 40 hours of battery life. Although they are normally priced at $200, you can currently get them on sale for just $115, which is a massive Prime Day price cut. Although they aren't noise-cancelling, they offer adjustable comfort-cushioned ear cups and Bluetooth connectivity. They also come packing the Apple W1 chip since Beats is now owned by Apple.
How to Choose Headphones on Prime Day
Choosing the right pair of headphones can be difficult. Although price is certainly the main thing you should consider on Prime Day, you also need to decide what kind of sound quality and features your looking for. Most high-quality headphones will have a starting price of atleast $200, with earbuds being a little bit lower in price. So if you're venturing below that price point, you should really worry about comfort and connectivity more than sound quality.
Another thing to consider is whether or not you need noise-cancellation. The most popular wireless headphones tend to include this feature, but if you don't need total noise-cancellation, than you should be able to go lower in price -- especially on Prime Day. For example, the Bose Solo3 overear headphones don't offer this feature and the price reflects that.
Finally, you need to consider what type of activities you'll be using your headphones or earbuds for. If you're planning on excercising while listening to music, for example, you're going to want to make sure whatever headphones you choose are sweat resistant. Whereas if you're just going to use them for work, you're probably ok going without water resistance.
