The airpods pro, sony wf-1000xm5, beats studio pro, and other products are currently available

at discounted prices as part of amazon's prime big deal days sale.

Amazon's most recent storewide sale for amazon prime members, prime big deal days, has yielded substantial discounts on numerous headphones, earbuds, and gaming headsets that we highly recommend. the following selection outlines the most exceptional headphone deals available during the october prime day event, encompassing unprecedented price reductions on the airpods pro, sony wf-1000xm5, beats studio pro, amazon echo buds, and more. however, it is important to note that while some of the offers are accessible to all, not all discounts are available unless you subscribe to prime.

Sony WH-1000XM4

The sony wh-1000xm4 is currently priced at $248, a slight increase of $20 from its lowest price point,

yet still approximately $80 below its average market value. despite being sony's previous-generation

wireless noise-canceling headphones, it offers exceptional active noise cancellation, a commendable

battery life of around 30 hours, and a feature-rich experience that is on par with the newer wh-1000xm5

(which is not currently discounted). in addition to its capabilities, the wh-1000xm4 can be conveniently

folded for storage. however, it lacks the xm5's adaptive anc system and its microphone quality is not as

clear. moreover, the xm4 is slightly heavier and has a more pronounced bass response out of the box. nonetheless, considering its price point of less than $250, it still provides excellent value for money. in our 2020 review, we awarded the xm4 a score of 94.

Sony WH-1000XM5

The in-ear sony wf-1000xm5, meanwhile, are currently available for purchase at a discounted price of $278, which is a reduction of $20. this represents the first markdown we have observed for the leading option in our wireless earbuds buying guide. this true wireless pair received a score of 87 from us earlier this year. similar to sony's over-ear models, it offers a range of valuable features, robust noise cancellation, and a warm yet intricate default sound. additionally, the design of these earphones is significantly more appealing than previous sony models.

Apple AirPods Pro

The usb-c version of apple's airpods pro is currently priced at $189, representing a significant $60 discount from apple's original list price. it is also the lowest price offered thus far. the lightning version is also available for the same reduced price. as stated in our buying guide, these airpods pro are the top recommendation for ios users. not only do both models feature strong active noise cancellation (anc), a highly effective transparency mode, and an impressively warm sound, but they also come with various apple-specific functionalities. these include the convenience of hands-free access to siri, the ability to track them using find my, and rapid pairing with other apple devices.

Moreover, a recent update has introduced an "adaptive audio" mode, which intelligently blends the anc and transparency modes based on the user's surroundings. in addition, the new usb-c model offers improved dust resistance along with the new charging port. however, it's worth noting that to fully utilize these features, one should be fully committed to the apple ecosystem. furthermore, the airpods pro have a battery life of approximately six hours, which is decent but not exceptional. in our assessment last year, the airpods pro received a score of 88 out of 100.

Apple AirPods (2nd Gen)

Apple's second-generation airpods are currently priced at $89, representing a $10 discount from their regular street price. while we cannot universally endorse the base airpods due to their one-size-fits-all design, which may not cater to everyone's preferences and with better-sounding alternatives available at the same price point, this particular offer may be more appealing if you are fully invested in the apple ecosystem and value the standard airpods features despite their unsealed design.

Beats Studio Pro

The beats studio pro is currently available for $180, representing a significant $170 discount from its original price. in our review conducted in july, we assigned these wireless over-ear headphones a score of 81. while we cannot endorse them as the top choice in our guide, they do offer a pleasurable and well-balanced sound, along with useful active noise cancellation and the ability to stream high-quality audio through a usb-c connection. as is typical with most beats headphones, they are also compatible with android devices. however, it is worth noting that multi-device pairing does not function with ios,

there is no wear detection feature, and the predominantly plastic design does not exude a highly premium feel. nevertheless, considering the discounted price, the studio pro may be a worthwhile option for those who greatly appreciate the beats aesthetic.

Anker Soundcore Space A40

The anker soundcore space a40 is currently available at a discounted price of $54, which matches its previous lowest price and offers a $25 reduction compared to its usual cost. this model, the space a40, has been selected as the top choice in our comprehensive guide to the best affordable wireless earbuds. despite its affordable price tag, it boasts an impressive array of features including adaptive active noise cancellation (anc), multi-device pairing capability, wireless charging compatibility, a transparency mode for ambient sound awareness, and a remarkable battery life of up to 10 hours. while it is worth noting that the audio quality and anc performance may not be as potent as those found in more expensive options, they are still more than satisfactory considering the price point. unlike many other budget wireless headphones, the space a40 manages to deliver a balanced sound without overpowering the bass frequencies. however, it is important to mention that the call quality is only average and it lacks wear detection, meaning that it will not automatically pause playback when an earbud is removed.

Anker Soundcore Library 4 NC

The anker soundcore liberty 4 nc offers similar advantages to the space a40, featuring a design inspired by apple's airpods with a distinctive "stem" shape. by default, they provide a slightly stronger emphasis on the bass, although this sound profile can be easily adjusted using various eq tools available in anker's dedicated application. moreover, these earbuds also incorporate wear detection technology. in case you favor this particular form factor, the liberty 4 nc is currently priced at $80, representing a $20 discount and reaching its lowest recorded price to date.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3

The sennheiser momentum true wireless 3 is currently priced at $150, which corresponds to its lowest price ever recorded. historically, this particular model has been available for about $180 in recent months. in our wireless earbuds guide, it is ranked as the second-best option. according to billy steele, engadget’s audio expert, it is the finest-sounding true wireless pair he has ever tested. notably, its warm and customizable sound is complemented by a reliable adaptive active noise cancellation (anc) system. however, it should be noted that sennheiser's model is not as effective in this regard as the sony wf-1000xm5, nor does it offer the same extensive range of features.
