UPDATE: Jun. 22, 2026, 11:04 a.m. EDT This post has been updated to reflect the latest pricing, stock availability, and new alternative deals ahead of Prime Day.
Amazon Prime Day isn’t until tomorrow, but deals on the best earbuds are already Prime Day-worthy.
The actual start date feels like a bit of a formality after the AirPods Pro 3 hit record low prices twice this week. They even dropped to $169 at Walmart on June 18, knocking $80 off the normal $249 price.
Other notable buds, like the Sony XM6 earbuds, second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, and Nothing earbuds, are all on sale. Though many of these early deals are available to anyone, Prime member or not, some savings (like on the Nothing buds) are Prime exclusive.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best early Prime Day earbud deals you can grab right now.
Best noise-cancelling earbuds deal
Why we like it
Note: While I was writing this story, the $169 price sold out at Walmart. I’m keeping them as a top pick for now because you can still grab them for $179.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, but my alternative pick for the best noise-cancelling earbuds deal is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen).
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 dropped down to a record low price of $179 ahead of Prime Day, but then the price dropped even lower before the sale’s official start. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, the Pro 3 buds got down to $169 at Amazon, but at the time of writing, that specific deal is gone. You can still find them for $179.99 and in stock at both Amazon and Best Buy, so if you want to pick them up before Prime Day, you won’t want to wait too long.

Best open earbuds deal
Why we like it
The Sony LinkBuds Clip give the ultra-popular Bose Ultra Open earbuds a run for their money. In my head-to-head testing of the two pairs of earbuds, I found that while the Bose buds generally lean louder, the Sony earbuds have a more detailed sound profile, making for an overall superior listening experience. They also have a longer battery life, delivering nine hours per charge, where the Bose earbuds deliver seven. With both earbuds on sale, there’s only a 99 cent price discrepancy between the two, but if you don’t anticipate using these earbuds in many noisy situations, the Sony earbuds are likely the way to go.
