When it comes to Prime Day, Amazon isn’t the only website getting in on the action. Prime Day is also an opportunity for retailers everywhere to slash prices on all your favorite goods. Of course, we like to focus on all kinds of headphones, from popular wireless favorites to high-end audiophile luxuries. Here is a list of the best deals we found for over-ear headphones around the web.
Bluetooth Headphones

Sennheiser Accentum Plus $229.95 $199.95
While the lower-priced Accentum is also on sale for Prime Day, the Plus version is more worth it. The Plus is a more significant jump in quality, and with this discount, I can’t see a reason not to jump right on it. Everything about its sound is vastly improved over the Accentum, including its more envigorating bass and immersive soundstage. It also has much better ANC and more responsive controls.

This is a great deal if you’re looking for one of the most satisfying Bluetooth headphones to listen to. The Momentum 4 brings the best wireless sounds you can get anywhere, with good comfort and noise-canceling as well. If you can afford to make the jump from the Plus, the Momentum 4 is a no-brainer.

On Prime Day, you can get them for the lowest price I’ve seen it at for a long time. Like the rest of the HD series open-back headphones, the HD 800s is power hungry, but with this new price, adding a good amp with it should be more reasonable.
