Is Prime Day the best time to buy headphones?

How We Pick the Best Prime Day Headphone Deals
Many of us here at CNET have been covering shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. In that time, we’ve learned how to sift through thousands of superficial deals and scams, and we only surface the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing which headphone deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products listed as on sale so we know when it’s a case of an inflated list price rather than a real discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in a sub-par product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining sale time is also important. Some deals are short-lived or limited in stock. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know in advance so you don’t come back to the deal later and be disappointed.
