The Prime Day headphones deals actually worth your attention

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700: was £349.99, now £175 at Amazon

This is definitely the one to beat in my view. I've already written about why this is my top pick deal for Prime Day 2022 in a separate post.

These super over-ear headphones are half price, which is enough of a temptation to make me buy them over even Sony's WH-1000XM4 instead (plus the Sony cost much more!).

It's the superb active noise-cancelling (ANC) that really sells these Bose over-ears, along with great design and comfort, in a package that's really hard to rival. 

Sony WF-1000XM3: was £220, now £75.99 at Amazon

Despite being replaced by the XM4 model more recently, this is a great example of how Prime Day can highlight great products that are a generation older and deliver incredibly good value as a result.

You only need to look at the huge 65% off the original list price (the black finish will cost you more though) to know that this is a mega discount. 

But that's not to take anything away from these earphones' prestige: awarded a full five-star review upon release in 2019, T3 sees them as top-tier true wireless earbuds. 

Nothing Ear 1: was £99.99, now £59.99 at Amazon

Yes, you can buy earphones for even less than this. No, they probably won't be as good. I wanted to find a pair for approximately £50 that really deliver in terms of sound, design, and also feature active noise-cancelling (ANC). Nothing's Ear 1 earbuds tick all of those boxes. 

It's a canny discount for the upstart's first product (the Phone 1 was also unveiled to coincide with Prime Day – here's my first impressions of that phone) and they represent a great in-ear option for a small asking price. 

So avoid those unknown names and ultra-budget earbuds and take my advice: buy a pair of these from Nothing instead. You won't regret it – and neither will your bank balance!

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX: was £449, now £299 at Amazon
I pondered over this for some time, as if you're going to be forking out more cash than your average then you want the best of the best. I believe that's what B&O provides, in particular from a materials and build quality perspective. 

The Beoplay HX exude quality from the off: they look sublime, wear really well, and the sound quality is second to none. You'll get noise-cancelling tech, too, albeit not as powerful as from the likes of Bose or Sony, so if that's an issue for you then look back up to my top over-ear recommendation instead.
