In case you haven't heard: Amazon's annual Prime Day sale is still live, and the headphone deals are (still) especially good. Lots of models from big-name brands like Sony, Bose, Apple, and Sennheiser have fallen to record-low prices — including two dozen options with active noise cancellation, or ANC. Noise-cancelling headphones are generally more expensive than non-ANC cans, so taking advantage of discounts like these is always a smart idea.
Flagship ANC headphones that usually sell for $400 or more are now up to 50% off. (It's honestly shocking that the $198 Sony XM5s are still in stock.) For frugal shoppers, the budget-friendly JLab JBuds Lux ANC are only $40 in their limited-edition Navy color, which usually goes for $99.99. Plus, there's excellent Nothing Headphone (a) we just reviewed are marked down to just $151.05 (normally $199).
ANC arbuds have an impressive showing too, with the AirPods Pro 3 down to $179 and the Sony XM6 buds down to $265.99 (a savings of $70 and $64, respectively). You could also pick up the CMF by Nothing Buds 2 for just $23.27 — they're the cheapest option we've found.
Prime Day officially ends tonight at midnight, so don't wait too long to make your pick(s). Until then, we'll continue to monitor Amazon's best deals on noise-cancelling headphones in case prices change or things go out of stock. (Amazon's supply of $399 AirPods Max 2 seems to be gone, but they're still available at Walmart for the same price.)

At $198, or half off, the Mashable Choice Award-winning Sony XM5s have never been cheaper before. (Ever!) "I was truly impressed by the sound quality and noise cancellation," said deputy shopping editor Miller Kern, who reviewed them a few years ago. She also rated them highly for call quality and comfort. The newer Sony XM6s sound slightly better and fold up for easy travel, but they cost $180 more this Prime Day.

The AirPods Pro have long been a great choice for any Apple power user, and the third generation of these ANC earbuds is no different. In addition to solid sound quality and top-notch ANC, they come with a Live Translation feature and a built-in heart rate monitor. At their full price, they're already on the cheaper end of premium flagship earbuds. But at their Prime Day price of $179, or 28% off, they're a nearly unbeatable value.
