Amazon Prime Day headphones deals in the UK
Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones:£350£209 at AmazonSave 40%– the best headphones you can buy in 2021 may have previously dropped to £233, but this is still a great deal. Coming with a stellar sound performance, excellent noise cancellation, and a ton of audiophile-friendly features, the XM4 are well worth buying at this price.
JBL Tune 600BTNC:£79.99£60 at AmazonSave £20 -If you’re after something on the cheaper side but don’t want to give up features like active noise cancellation, the JBL Tune 600BTNC offer up excellent value for money at £60. Well worth an investment if you don’t have the budget for some of the premium options on the list.
Apple AirPods Pro£239£179 at AmazonSave £60– Apple’s noise-cancelling earbuds are still up there with the best true wireless earbuds when it comes to balancing features, noise-blocking skills, sound quality, and comfort. This is a good price compared to normal, though they have dropped as low as £170 for short periods in recent months.
Apple AirPods 2nd Gen£109£99 at ArgosSave £10–This doesn’t look like much of a saving on its face, but it’s actually the joint-lowest price that these earbuds have ever been, so if you want to know you’re paying the least possible (at least, so far) then this is it.
AirPods 3rd Gen (latest version):£169£149 at AmazonSave £20– This is the best deal we’ve found on AirPods 3rd Gen (Apple’s latest version of its earbuds that don’t have the noise cancellation you get in AirPods Pro) in the UK this Prime Day, but it’s not much of a blockbuster. In recent months, these have dropped a few times to £145 or even £135, so it may be worth hanging on.
AirPods Max:£549£449 at AmazonSave £100–This is a decent price for Apple’s awesome-sounding over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation. In the past, we’ve seen them for as low as £399, but rarely – they’ve also been around £429 on occasion. If you want a pair today, this is the best price we’ve seen, and we think they’re worth it at this price still – they sound incredible.
