In fact, these deals below are great to pair with one of these Prime Day smartphone deals, and if you’ve just grabbed one of these Prime Day TV deals, even better since you can watch your stuff without bothering other people in the house.

Generally speaking, choosing wireless earbuds on Prime Day is similar to choosing them on any random day of the year. The two things that you might want to emphasize a bit more, however, are the very latest models that are going through their first deals cycle and whatever the previous model is. For example, if the latest buds in a line are called the “DTBuds 4” go ahead and check for deals on the “DTBuds 3” too. You might be surprised at what you find.

But what about if you’re truly clueless as to where to start, even at the best of times? The process still isn’t that difficult.

Surprisingly, the first step is not to consult the list of the best wireless earbuds. The real first step is to look at your phone. See an Apple logo anywhere? You probably want AirPods. Their features link up well with the Apple ecosystem and they get pretty consistent updates. Just see how head gestures are coming to iOS 18.

See one of the best Android phones instead? Congratulations, you’ve just earned the burden of a dozen choices. It’s time to make a choice. For generally great headphones that fit just about any situation, now is the time to check that list of the of best earbuds. Alternatively, if you’re a bit jealous of AirPods users but recognize that they just make as much sense with your current phone, check out our list of the best AirPods alternatives to get an idea about what you can get that will match the quality and style of AirPods but still make sense for your phone.

Or, for something completely different, check out the best open-ear earbuds for something that isn’t shoved in your ear and lets more noise in than is typical of earbuds.

If it can be difficult to pick out just one pair of earbuds for yourself, how do we handle finding so many? As you’ve clearly seen above, we start by sorting through the best earbuds brands, picking out popular models that are having good deals. We’re also looking for a fairly wide range of products within each category, giving you a good price selection. While Apple earbuds are obviously somewhat limited in scope, AirPods aren’t the only buds on the market. You can get quality budget earbuds at this time, too, put down to an ever lower price.

And, speaking of these brands, know that many are having competing sales during the Prime Day event. While “Prime Day” is an Amazon-specific thing, that doesn’t lock out other retailers and manufacturers from putting things on sale at the same time. We’re keeping our eyes to the ground and looking around, finding the lowest prices from many sources while deals are going on.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.

The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
