Best Earbuds Prime Day Deals October 2025

Amazon’s fall Prime Day is here — and that means now’s the time to grab a great deal on earbuds, whether you’re upgrading for the gym, tuning into podcasts on your commute, or finally cutting the cord on your old wired buds. We’ve spent the year testing dozens of true wireless options, and these are the top four deals we think are actually worth your money. From budget champs to flagship killers, there’s something for every budget and priority.

The AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 with ANC are both on sale

If you have an iPhone, the best wireless earbuds for you are AirPods, and there are some great deals to be had right now. Both the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are on sale for Prime Day. Which one you should buy comes down to whether or not you prefer silicon ear tips or an unsealed design. The ear tips of the AirPods Pro 2 provide excellent noise canceling, even if it is a step behind the performance of the newer AirPods Pro 3. On the other hand, some people find the AirPods 4 with ANC more comfortable thanks to the fact that you don’t have to insert ear tips into your ear canal.

The CMF Buds 2 are our top budget pick

If you are looking to spend less than $50 on a set of noise canceling earbuds, get the CMF Buds 2. At its price point, the CMF Buds 2 punch way above their weight. In our testing, I was impressed by how much active noise cancellation they delivered given the cost — they suppress a surprising amount of ambient noise for a budget option. The sound is a bit bass-heavy, but our testing shows most listeners will enjoy the way they sound. Battery life is solid too, putting these in the “last‑you‑through‑a‑work‑day” category in many cases. For Prime Day, they often get slashed even further, making them one of the best value ANC earbuds you can snag. If you don’t need ultra-premium fidelity but want good features on a budget, these are a must-look.

The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are on sale for less than $100

The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are on sale for 45% off, to below $100. We measured solid ANC for this tier, and the comfort is above average — the fit stays secure without getting fatiguing even after hours wearing them. Skullcandy teamed up with Bose on tuning here, and you’ll notice a boomy, energetic sound signature (which some will love, others will tweak in EQ). The case design is quirky — a bit bulky — but that’s part of their personality.

The Google Pixel Buds 2 Pro are under $200

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 as Google’s most refined earbuds yet. They’re more compact and comfortable than the original Pro, and Google has smoothed out many of the earlier drawbacks. Some standout features include Clear Calling (better voice clarity in noisy environments) and true multipoint support, which is a big win if you switch between devices. The ANC is competitive, though not class-leading, but the transparency mode is among the most natural I’ve tested. If you live in the broader Android/Pixel ecosystem (and lean on Google services), these deliver a great balance of features, performance, and polish — especially when Prime Day drives the price down.
