Amazon Prime Day 2019: The headphones Amazon reviewers love
We are just a week away from the most anticipated shopping day of the year and no, we aren’t referring to Black Friday. Amazon’s Prime Day will start on July 15 just after midnight Pacific Time and run for 48 hours, the longest Prime Day sale ever, up from 36 hours in 2018.
The online retailer will be discounting thousands of products over the course of those two days, everything from workout equipment to travel gear. One of the more popular items that sell fast are the headphones, since many of the highly rated devices retail for hundreds of dollars.
Amazon sets aside a limited stock for these occasions, so you must act fast to cash in on these deals. That being said, we rounded up all of the offers that are just too good to miss and are loved by fellow Amazon shoppers. We’ll also be updating this list as new models go one sale and prices change. Keep in mind, you have to be a Prime member in order to participate in Prime Day. If you aren’t, sign up now so you’re ready to shop on July 15.
