Best early earbuds deals before the Big Spring Sale
Anyone hoping Amazon’s Big Spring Sale would offer great earbuds deals is in luck. The sale starts on March 25 and runs through March 31, but some deals are already live and worth exploring, including many on wireless earbuds. Though focused primarily on spring-related savings like camping gear and cleaning supplies, tech markdowns are emerging even if not officially linked to the sale.
In earbuds, Sony’s latest releases like the LinkBuds Clip and WF-1000XM6 are discounted. Apple AirPods Pro 3 sees one of their best price drops, while budget-friendly options like the EarFun Clip and Sony WF-C710N are even more affordable.
Check out all 15 of the best earbuds deals already live:
Best wireless earbuds deal
Apple AirPods Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Heart Rate Wireless Earbuds – $199.99 at Amazon ($249, save $49.01)
Why we like it
The AirPods Pro 3, released this past fall, are Apple’s best yet. They boast double the noise cancellation of the second-gen Pros, a balanced sound profile, eight hours of battery life, a heart rate monitor, and live translation features. Mashable contributor Adam Doud wrote, “Overall, the AirPods Pro 3 are a remarkable upgrade, even over the AirPods Pro 2, which were already very good.”

Best open earbuds deal
Sony LinkBuds Clip Open-Ear Truly Wireless Earbuds, Comfortable & Secure Fit, Lightweight Clip-On Design, Touch Controls, Ambient Sound Awareness, Water Resistant, Up to 37 Hrs of Playback, Greige – $198 at Amazon ($229.99, save $31.99)
Why we like it
When looking for open earbuds, more options appear daily. While the Bose Ultra Open earbuds are popular, Sony’s new Sony LinkBuds Clip is worth consideration. They share a clip design for comfort and sound quality with the Bose buds. Mashable contributor Simon Cohen wrote, “With the possible exception of Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds ($299), the LinkBuds Clip are the best [open earbuds] I’ve heard.” On sale, they’re also over $100 cheaper than the Bose buds, so second-best in sound hardly feels like settling.
