When gaming or listening to music, the two most important things to having an enjoyable experience are having good visuals and a good audio experience. In 2024, there's no need to get tangled up with wired earphones because of pricing. With Amazon Prime Day upon us, there is no reason not to score a deal on earbuds. If you’re eager to score some savings, we’ve compiled the best Prime Day deals to improve your listening experience.
The JBL Tunebuds, which received an “Excellent” rating from our experts and our our review found that their "IP54 rating" was “slightly better than average for noise-canceling earphones.” The Tunebuds also boast a 10-12 hour battery life, depending on whether or not you toggle Active Noise Cancellation. “The earphones have no trouble reproducing the sub-bass at the 34-second mark of Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty.” The deepest of these low notes come across clearly with subwoofer-like rumble, while the drum loop gets some extra thump. The various vocals sound crisp and clear thanks to some sculpting in the high mids and highs,” according to our review. If you like to have your bass thumping while you’re listening to your favorite tunes, this may be a pair to consider.
If you’re tired of using those big old clunky headphones while trying to catch some wins, you’ll be glad to hear that you can snag a pair of ASUS’ ROG Cetra Wireless Gaming headphones, an AirPod-like set of EarBuds, before Prime Day kicks off. Currently on sale for $79.99, the Tunebuds offer Low-Latency Bluetooth connection, to ensure you hear everything in real time while playing your favorite game. They also claim to offer a whopping 27-hours of battery life, though our experts have not tested this model. However, if you're a PlayStation fan looking for a simple and cheaper alternative to the PlayStation Pulse, these Earbuds may not be for you, as Asus reports that these are only compatible with "PCs, Macs, mobile phones and Nintendo Switch. However, they do not work with PlayStation 4 or 5."
Currently available at just over $100, the Jabra Elite 5 offers many features you'd expect from a pair of earbuds, like active noise cancellation so you can block out the messy office chatter while you attend that conference call or zoom meeting. Our review of the Jabra Elite 5 praised its "good sound quality and effective noise cancellation" making it one of the better choices of this list, if you are looking for a pair of earbuds that will help you block out distractions at work.
