As with many things in life – Dairy Milk bar variants, the Netflix catalogue, Easyjet destinations – there is always too much choice when it comes to Amazon Prime Day headphone deals

While the retailer's October Prime Day event taking place today (until midnight) has fewer pairs on offer than its summer one, not to mention Black Friday, there are still several models on Amazon wearing red sales banners. And no, they aren't all worth your time and money.

But some most certainly are, and we've sorted the wheat from the chaff to pick out six that we can confidently call Bloody Great Deals.

We have reviewed hundreds of headphones available on the market today, so we know which pairs offer the best combination of sound quality, everyday features and long-lasting comfort, and what price is a good price for each based on their original RRP, age and previous discounts, and the current competition. After all, the best deals aren't defined by the biggest savings alone.

The six below are all examples of Prime Day 2 headphone deals that see great products hit great prices.

Do I need to be a Prime member to bag a Prime Day headphone deal?

In a word, yes. Amazon does offer non-Prime members a handful of headphones deals, but only Prime subscribers get exclusive access to the most generous discounts. Only the Panasonic earbuds deal of the six above are available to non-Prime members.

Not a Prime member? Don't worry – you can be, and for free too. Just be sure to take advantage of the 30-day free Prime trial to bag the best prices. And remember to cancel if you don't want a monthly bill when the trial ends.
