    When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? Amazon’s Spring Sale runs through Monday, March 31. Are laptops really cheaper during Amazon sales? Absolutely.

    We picked the 21+ best Amazon Spring Sale headphone deals

    When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? This year, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale begins on March 25 and ends on March 31.Are headphones and earbuds really cheaper during Amazon sales? Yes, you can find many headphones and earbuds at cheaper prices during Amazon’s sales. However, the spring sale typically offers smaller discounts than Amazon’s fall and holiday sales later in the year. During Amazon’s sales, headphone, and earbud brands also slash prices on their sites to compete for your dollars. Sometimes, prices are lower at other retailers, so you should compare factors like prices, return policies, and free items included with your purchase before buying. If you want all-time low prices on the latest headphones and earbuds, wait until later in the year.How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?I spend most of my time testing the latest headphones and earbuds and revisiting headphones and earbuds released in past years to provide our readers with the most sound buying advice. I also notice products’ retail prices and when the lowest prices were offered, typically later in the year.Additionally, by retesting products, I can determine if they’re still worth hundreds of dollars a year or two later. If they are, I will still recommend them during significant sales. Another factor I consider is when newly-released products are on sale; if a product I recommended was released six months ago and is already on sale, I’ll notify our readers to take advantage of the sale price. What are the best Amazon Spring Sale 2025 deals?ZDNET’s experts are searching through Amazon’s Spring Sale deals to find the best discounts by category.

    When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? Amazon’s Big Spring Sale runs from now through Monday, March 31.Also: Everything you need to know about Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2025Are deals really better during Amazon sales? Deals on flagship Amazon products are typically the best during Amazon’s own sales. These sales are also a great opportunity to scoop up decent savings across dozens of categories. Keep in mind that you’ll be able to shop at plenty of other retailers during the same period as Amazon’s sale as retailers look to compete. Will other retailers offer spring savings? Yes, other major retailers will likely offer their discounts via competing sales. Often, retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and more directly match (or sometimes outdo) Amazon’s pricing during sale events. It’s not unusual to see the same products on sale for the same price across many retailers. I expect many competing sale events to precede, overlap, or follow Amazon’s spring sale. How did we choose these anti-Amazon Spring Sale deals?ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need or would recommend.
