At certain times of the year, including Prime Day, you can get some truly fantastic earbuds or headphones at a steep discount. But the discounts usually happen for a reason. Sometimes the discounts are on older, but still excellent, models that are about to be replaced by something new, and manufacturers want to make space on their shelves.

That’s the case this year as well, with the Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones dropping to just $38, way down from their original price of $80, though Amazon has recently been selling them for closer to $60.

Sony's WH-1000XM wireless headphones are among the best out there for the average consumer, but they typically come at a premium price. The current model WH-1000XM5 headphones are normally $400, but during Amazon Prime Day, they're on sale for $349.
