Amazon Prime Day is here and so are the earbud deals. This year’s Prime Day runs June 23 to 26, but the sale was hot before it even began.
The actual start date felt 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.

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. Now that Prime Day has officially started, you can still find them for $179 and in stock at both Amazon and Best Buy. If the price drops back down to $169 again, we’ll be sure to sound the alarm.

Why we like it
The EarFun Air Pro 4 are the best earbuds you’ve probably never heard of. They’re our top pick for noise-cancelling earbuds under $100 on a normal day. Now that they’re down to just slightly over $50 for Prime Day, we can’t recommend them enough. We struggled to find the flaws of these budget-friendly buds upon testing. They offer excellent battery life and noise cancellation (which has manually adjustable levels), multipoint connectivity, a well-rounded sound profile, and obviously, a price that’s hard to beat.

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.
