Best Earbud Offers Ahead of October Prime Day

We are just a week away from Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days — known as October Prime Day — and the earbuds offers are starting to appear.

Although the offers are not as plentiful as we anticipate they will be on Oct. 7 and 8 — the official sale dates — there are several noteworthy offers to consider, for both noise-cancelling and open-earbud alternatives.

As predicted, Amazon has reduced the price of its noise-cancelling Echo Buds by an impressive 71% prior to the sale, but a Prime membership is necessary to benefit from the deal. Less anticipated was a first-ever price drop on the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, which became available to consumers on Sept. 10.

You will find these deals, along with more of the best we’ve encountered thus far, below. Additionally, we will be refreshing this list leading up to October Prime Day.

Top Noise-Cancelling Earbuds Offer

Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) — $257.36 at Amazon (Save $41.64)

Why we appreciate it: The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds don’t radically change from their earlier version, but they remain among the best noise-cancelling earbuds available. Their price point is quite high, so this slight discount is a welcome surprise, especially considering they just became accessible to consumers a few weeks ago. If you’re in the market for superior noise cancellation and comfort that allows for all-day wear, these earbuds are unlikely to disappoint.

Check out our comprehensive review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd gen) earbuds.

Additional Noise-Cancelling Earbuds Offers

– Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (wired charging case) — $34.99 (Save $85)
– Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (wireless charging case) — $44.99 (Save $95)

Top Open Earbuds Offer

Shokz OpenRun Pro — $124.95 at Amazon (Save $55)

Why we appreciate it: Shokz bone-conducting earbuds are a favored choice for many runners due to their secure fit, excellent battery life, and durability. While we prefer the second generation of the OpenRun Pro, they can be more difficult to find on sale. Therefore, if you’re eager to acquire a pair of open earbuds quickly, the first-generation OpenRun Pro are still an excellent choice, featuring 10 hours of battery life, a titanium frame, and reliable sound quality for open earbuds.

Additional Open Earbuds Offers

– EarFun Clip — $53.18 (Save $16.81)
– Anker Soundcore AeroFit 2 — $99.98 (Save $30.01)
