When is October Prime Day 2025? This year, Amazon’s October Prime Day sale begins on Oct. 7 and ends Oct. 8. The annual sale will last for two days in the fall, and you can expect to see a range of deals on household goods, tech gadgets, and electronics, including laptops, PCs, and headphones. Are headphones really cheaper on Prime Day? Yes, you can find headphones at discounted prices during Prime Day. I spend a lot of time testing headphones and tracking their retail and discounted prices. All of the headphones, earbuds, and Bluetooth speakers included in this list are discounted from their original sale price. There are two cases I’m aware of regarding retail price changes after the product’s initial launch: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones and the Sonos Ace. Bose’s premium headphones were initially priced at $429 and are now $449. Conversely, Sonos’ headphones were $449 at launch and now retail for $399. I expect both headphones to be on sale during Amazon’s shopping event.Otherwise, you can find many organic discounts. Beats’ headphones, Apple’s older AirPods, and Bose’s headphones and earbuds tend to have the most worthwhile discounts.How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?ZDNET authors only write about deals that interest us personally and include products that we own or want to buy.
