Best early Big Spring Sale headphones and earbuds deals
If you’re in need of an audio upgrade, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has come at the right time. Alongside discounts on products like TVs and Apple products, this massive sales event will see a wide range of discounts on both headphones and earbuds.
This will be the third year Amazon hosts the sale, and while the mega-retailer puts emphasis on spring-appropriate deals (think outdoor gear, cleaning supplies, and robot vacuums), the prior two years of the sale show that some tech deals get thrown in the mix.

The weeklong sale officially kicked off on March 25, and I’ve done my combing as one of Mashable’s headphones experts to find over 20 deals that offer Spring Sale-worthy savings.
So far, the best savings are coming from Sony headphones, but you’ll also find deals from brands including Sennheiser, Nothing, Samsung, Google, Marshall, and JBL. We’ll be updating this post throughout the sale, and any deals no longer available will be marked with a strikeout.
Best headphones deal
Why we like it
Sony’s flagship headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6, are still relatively new all things considered, meaning that catching them on sale isn’t always a given. Granted, even though their sale price of $398 nets you a nice $61.99 price cut, they’re still expensive headphones. (If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, we recommend the Sony WH-CH720N). That said, if you’re looking for the best of the best, we think they offer some of the best sound, noise cancellation, and all-day wear available. Plus, unlike their predecessor, their ear cups actually fold. Grab them on sale in any of the available four colorways.
If the WH-1000XM6 are out of your price range, go for a more budget-friendly option. The JLab Lux are surprisingly great for a pair of headphones under $100, and right now you can get them for just $41.99.
Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6.

Best earbuds deal
Why we like it
As much as I love a good pair of premium earbuds, I’m less in love with the idea of paying over $200 for quality ANC and sound when you can get that for much, much cheaper. For day-to-day use, I often find myself reaching for the Sony WF-C710N earbuds. They have great battery life, a compact case for easy portability, really solid ANC, and a rounded sound profile worthy of the Sony name. Bracetti called them the best Sony earbuds you can get for under $100 (when they’re on sale), and I’m comfortable saying they’re some of the best earbuds under $100, period.

Best open earbuds deal
Why we like it
People love the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, but the Sony LinkBuds Clip are just as comfortable, sound at least as good, and at their full price, cost about $70 cheaper than the Bose buds. On sale, they’re over $100 cheaper than the Bose Ultra earbuds. Mashable contributor Simon Cohen deemed these earbuds a Mashable Selects winner, which means they’re one of our favorite products we’ve tried. This sale price of $198 marks their biggest discount ever, and the first time they’ve ever gone below $200. For earbuds that just launched in January, that’s not too shabby.
