Just like that, Prime Big Deal Days is in its final hours. The 48-hour event kicked off Oct. 6 and wraps up at midnight Oct. 7, so you've still got some time to shop all the best deals. Don't worry; we've made it easy for you by combing through pages and pages of listings to find the deals that are actually worth grabbing. To be frank, the headphones deals are some of the best of the sale.

If noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds, in particular, are on your wishlist, many of Mashable's favorites are on sale. That includes the excellent Sony XM6 headphones and earbuds, the Technics EAH-AZ100 (our favorite premium earbuds), the AirPods Max 2 and Pro 3, and the Bose QuietComfort lineup. There are also pretty wild discounts on the lesser-known JBL Tune Buds and EarFun Air Pro 4.

Below, find the 25+ best Prime Day deals on noise-cancelling headphones, with savings from all of the best audio brands.

Why we like it

Bose's latest mid-range launch, the second-generation QuietComfort headphones, brings the best parts of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones for less money. They offer comparable comfort and noise cancellation (with the latter being manually adjustable), and are the first non-Ultra headphones to feature immersive audio. The ear cushions are replaceable for future proofing, and the sound quality is warm and well-rounded. Plus, they fold up small and have unique colorways, making them great for taking on the go and adding to your outfits.

Pro tip: If you're looking to save even more money, the past-gen Bose QuietComfort headphones (which we also love) are on sale for Prime members for just $169.

Why we like it

While we're big fans of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100s, which are $65 off for Prime Big Deal Days, you might not want to spend over $200 on a pair of earbuds. If you're looking for a more affordable pick, our top recommendation is the EarFun Air Pro 4. They're our favorite pair of budget earbuds at full price, but their current discount drops them to just $50. They punch above their weight class, offering hours of listening time, excellent manually adjustable ANC, solid sound quality, great multipoint pairing, and a companion app with plenty of options for customizing your listening experience. The touch controls are kind of iffy, but that's one of the only areas where these earbuds show their price point.
