Amazon's Big Spring Sale kicked off on March 25 and runs through March 31, and the headphone category is genuinely stacked this year. Discounts are landing across every price tier, from sub-$30 budget earbuds to premium over-ear headphones that normally sit well north of $300.
Here's the lowdown on what's actually worth picking up.
The standout discounts across price tiers
The headliner for high-end buyers is the Sennheiser Momentum 4, currently down to $226 from its usual $450, a $224 saving that makes one of the best over-ear wireless headphones on the market genuinely accessible. CNET's audio team has consistently praised its battery life, noise cancellation, and sound personalization features. That's a hard deal to ignore.
For Beats fans, the Studio Pro is at $200 after a $150 price cut, bringing Dolby Atmos spatial audio and strong noise cancellation to a pair that was previously a harder sell at full price. The Solo 4 is an even sharper value at $120, down $80, with a 50-hour battery life that most competitors in that range can't match.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds drop to $179, saving $120 off retail. Bose's noise cancellation remains among the most effective available, and that price puts them in direct competition with Sony's flagship earbuds.
Speaking of which, the Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are at $298, a $32 reduction. That's a smaller percentage discount than some of the other deals here, but the XM6 earned CNET's Editors' Choice nod for wireless earbuds, so the price floor still matters.

A Prime membership unlocks a handful of exclusive deals in this sale, including the Nothing Ear (Open) earbuds at $122 and the CMF Buds 2 Plus at $55. If you're not subscribed, those specific discounts won't apply at checkout.
Budget picks that actually deliver
Not every deal requires a significant spend. The Sony WH-CH520 on-ear headphones are down to $48, offering 50 hours of battery life and Bluetooth 5.2 for a price that makes them almost a no-brainer as a backup or travel pair. The Soundcore by Anker P20i earbuds hit $20, with 10mm drivers and a 10-minute quick charge that delivers two hours of playback.
For runners and swimmers, the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 bone conduction headphones are at $140 (down $40), and the Shokz Open Swim Pro matches that price with an IP68 waterproof rating built specifically for pool use.

What most players miss about these sales
The key here is that Amazon's Big Spring Sale draws competing discounts from other retailers too. According to CNET's deal tracking coverage, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have historically run parallel promotions during the same window, so prices at Amazon aren't always the floor.
PCMag is also actively tracking headphone and earbud deals across the sale, which is worth bookmarking if you want a second opinion before committing to a purchase.
The sale closes March 31, so there's still time to compare before prices reset. For more hardware coverage and buying guides, make sure to check out our:
