Are you listening? If the answer is no, you might need new headphones, and luckily, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale , which runs from March 25 to March 31, is here with great low prices on everything, including tech. As a headphone tester, I’ve used a ton of different brands and models over the past two years, so I’m always keeping my eye on when prices drop to see that we can bring you the absolute best deals on the headphones you need the most. These Big Spring Sale headphones deals range from ones I’ve personally tested to ones the rest of our team loves. If I’ve tried it and it’s currently on sale, you’ll find it below, along with some of my thoughts. Below, we’ve broken down some of the best headphones deals available to shop during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale and split them into categories: earbuds, over-ear, and Apple. Use the links below to jump to your preferred type, or scroll to check out all of the deals. Apple headphones deals Over-the-ear headphones deals Earbud deals Apple Amazon Big Spring Sale headphones deals AirPods Pro 3 Amazon AirPods Pro 3 deliver world-class active noise cancellation, which improves upon the already great feature included with the AirPods Pro 2. It also has smarter features, like live translation using Apple Intelligence, heart rate sensors, and the ability to use the earbuds as a clinical-grade hearing aid. AirPods 4 Amazon These buds are the gold standard. A classic, if you will. They are sweat and water-resistant, utilize personalized spatial audio and hold 30 hours of battery life. One of the most reliable pairs of headphones out there and currenlty under $100. Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones Amazon The AirPods Pro Max 2 is the latest edition to be turning heads, but don’t sleep on the OGs. These still look great, but the high-fidelity audio and spatial head-tracking genuinely make it sound like you’re sitting in a private movie theater. The memory foam cushions are wildly comfortable, making them perfect for long-haul flights or ignoring the world at your desk. Amazon Big Spring Sale over-the-ear headphones deals Beats Studio Pro Amazon The Beats Studio Pro headphones deliver exceptional sound quality and adaptive noise cancellation for an immersive Dolby Atmos audio experience. With over a year of headphone testing experience and more than a handful of pairs in my arsenal, this is the one I come back to again and again. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, with great, long-lasting battery life and advanced features for audiophiles. I’m not the only Beats fan here at Post Wanted. Reporter Miska Salemann also loves these, saying, “I’ve never splurged on headphones before (I used to be an old-fashioned wired-headphones person), but eventually I gave in and got a pair of Beats. The sound is so immersive — so much better than my old, dangly headphones — it feels like I’m hearing the music live. They’re easy to pair, the battery lasts me a few days of listening, and I love that they have two modes — transparency and noise-canceling. Transparency mode is perfect for when I want to be aware of my surroundings and let in some background noise, aka when I’m taking the subway.” Sonos Ace Over-Ear Headphones Amazon This is another pair of headphones with a permanent spot in my rotation. Just like Sonos perfected home audio with soundbars and subwoofers, they have perfected headphones with Dolby Audio and more built right in. The battery lasts me almost all week and the active noise cancellation is unmatched. Read our full review for more on this pair, which is absolutely worth the splurge.
