Amazon's 2024 spring sale – or, officially, 'Amazon Spring Deal Days' if you fancy a tongue-twister – is now live, here to deliver juicy discounts on its encyclopedic catalogue for six whole days (it's resting on the seventh).

As is typically the case for Amazon sales events like these, some of the best headphones and earbuds we've tested are on the end of mammoth markdowns, including a trio of What Hi-Fi? Award winners. 

We've trawled through the many, many headphone deals the retailer is hosting and handpicked the nine most worthy of your cash, from £69 wired home headphones to wireless earbuds with 30 per cent discounts.

As usual, you'll need Amazon Prime to be eligible for some of the deals, so here's how to sign up for free if you aren't already a subscriber.

Philips Fidelio X2HR wired over-ears was £130 now £69 (save £61)

Philips Fidelio X2HR wired over-ears was £130 now £69 (save £61)
The Fidelio X2HR sport an open-back (i.e. leaky) design and boast 50mm drivers and deluxe memory foam ear pads. At such a low price, these are certainly worth considering if you're in the market for budget wired over-ear headphones. We haven't tested them per sae, but they are updated versions of the Fidelio X2 we awarded five stars to for their "unrivalled comfort, eye-pleasing design and impressive sound quality".
