Before long, we'll welcome yet another big-time shopping event. That's right! Amazon's Prime Day in October, called Prime Big Deal Days, is coming up soon. Amazon has already announced the event will happen October 8-9, so you might want to start preparing for awesome discounts on some of the best wireless earbuds on the market!

Of course, there'll be more than offers on in-ear models. This July, for example, we saw the flagship Sony WH-1000XM5 get $100 slashed off their price tag. We have every reason to believe that the best high-end wireless Bluetooth headphones will be making headlines next month as well.

Stay with us if you're looking for insights on what deals to expect and how much you should be able to save during next month's 48-hour savings event.

Prime Day deals on earbuds to expect


Amazon threw massive discounts on various high-end models this July and we expect the same to happen next month. During Prime Big Deal Days, Prime members should get at least 30% off the Pixel Buds Pro. However, we wouldn't count on getting the newer model, the Pixel Buds Pro 2, at significantly lower prices.

What about the latest Galaxy earbuds? Both the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and the non-Pro model should appear in Amazon's deals section at some point during the 48-hour shopping spree. We believe there's a chance you could score $30-$40 off them. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, however, you should check out the older Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. With expected discounts in the 50% range, those will become a no-brainer for sure.

For Apple fans, the AirPods Pro 2 could land at 29% lower prices, while favorite models from Sennheiser could even step beyond the 50% markdown. Stay tuned for upcoming early deals as October Prime Day approaches.

Excitement awaits in the world of over-ear headphones as well. Whether you're looking for budget headphones or high-end models, Amazon will bring what you need at significantly lower prices. Judging from what we saw during July's event, some Beats models should get 40-50% cheaper than usual. The gorgeous Sony WH-1000XM4 should receive a $150 price cut during the October shopping spree.
