Prime Day earbud deals
The AirPods Pro 2 are a fan favorite for good reason. They sport excellent sound quality, with active noise cancellation, an adaptive transparency mode and spatial audio — all powered by Apple’s H2 chip.
These are some of our favorite affordable earbuds and now they are almost 55% off. However, this deal is only for Prime members. Nonmembers can get them for $76, still a decent $24 discount.
These are the earbuds that I wear when I need to block out the toddler upstairs or the weekend crowd noise at the Magic Kingdom. They lead our best wireless earbuds guide for stellar noise-canceling, sound quality, and battery life.
I suggest using some of your savings towards silicone-covered foam ear tips for easier cleaning and a better seal.

Prime Day gaming headphone deals
The HyperX Cloud Alpha wired headset is compatible with both Xbox and PlayStation, as well as PC, and comes equipped with 50mm dual chamber drivers for crisp, distinct audio that lets you hear every shot and step clearly.

We named the 733 Lightspeed one of our favorite wireless gaming headsets because of its light 278g weight and excellent microphones backed by Blue Yeti software customization. Not all colors are down to the same price, but they’re all quite fetching in their own ways.

What is Prime Day?
Amazon began its annual Prime Day sale in 2015. Ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale.
Prime Day has wrapped up, but we’ve still got you covered when it comes to all things Amazon, including what to know about signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals free and using extra Prime perks.
Will tariffs affect this year’s Prime Day deals?
Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans and they could affect this year’s Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid tariffs by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins.
