Prime Big Deal Days is just one day away. On October 8 and 9, the retailer will unleash a barrage of deals on just about everything you can imagine. While Amazon usually showcases its own products and services during the Prime Day event, plenty of other brands join in on the fun too.

Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, we're tracking deals on headphones and speakers. Historically, we've seen some of our favorite headphones drop to their lowest prices during Prime Day, and we're already seeing early signs of that — AirPods Max are back down to $399.

Right now you can find savings on Apple, Soundcore by Anker, and Sony, however, we're still waiting on bigger price drops to come on Bose headphones. If you can't wait to start shopping, here are the Prime Big Deal Day deals on headphones and speakers.

Why we like it

AirPods Max are stylish headphones with easy connectivity to boot. Just like the rest of the AirPods collection, the AirPods Max connect to iOS devices just by turning them on, plus you don't need an auxiliary app to control them, plus they have excellent audio quality and good battery life.

A big hang-up we have with the AirPods Max is their price tag — at $549, you can find headphones with the same quality for far cheaper. However, when the AirPods Max are on sale, we're all in. Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, you can get the AirPods Max for $399, saving $150 for 27% off. This is less than $20 from its lowest price ever.

Why we like it

While Apple, Sony, and Bose tend to get most of the hype around earbuds, there are plenty of other brands that sneak in there and surprise us. Amazon happens to be one of them with their 2021 Amazon Echo Buds. They provide excellent noise cancellation and are compatible with any system.

Normally $139.99, they're already a steal for a pair of earbuds with active noise cancellation. But ahead of Prime Day, they're down to $44.99, saving you $95 for 68% off.

Why we like it

Maybe your Bluetooth speaker kicked the dust this summer after one too many pool parties. If you find yourself in the market for a new one, Prime Day is an especially great time to hit add to cart.

The Marshall Emberton II speaker is perfect to bring along to any banger. It has a vintage look with the stylish gold script logo and textured front, but that doesn't distract from its functionality. With an IP67 rating, it's water and dust-resistant so you can even take it outside. Plus its 30 hours of battery life is insane.

Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, you can get the Marshall Emberton II speaker on sale for $99.99, saving $70 for 41% off.
