Whether you're looking for peaceful summer travel or a little more focus at work, noise-cancelling headphones are a worthwhile investment, and with Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, it's one of the best times of year to pick up a pair.
Though Prime Day doesn't kick off officially until July 16, Amazon is releasing early deals in the lead up to the sale, as it has in year's past. You're most likely to see the best and widest selection of headphone and earbud deals come the actual days of Prime Day, but early deals can help save you plenty of cash (and avoid chaos).
Target and Walmart are also running their competing Prime Day sales a week before Amazon's kicks off, so we'll be adding any notable headphone deals from those retailers to this list.
Note: Deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨. Once we update this post, newly added deals are marked with a ✨.
Our favorite AirPods alternative (and some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones under $200) are the Beats Studio Buds +. You'll get great noise-cancelling, the same battery life as the AirPods Pro, the same easy integration with your Apple products as you would with AirPods. Android users will enjoy Google Fast Pair. This sale price is five cents away from these earbuds lowest price ever — though we wouldn't call this markdown rare, we'd definitely call it worth checking out.
