Lowest price ever on headphones and more

Every Prime Day, without fail, I’ll get texts from friends and family asking for recommendations — especially when it comes to headphones. Reader, I’m about to let you in on this Prime Day‘s friends and family secret: the Sonos Ace.

Currently marked down to its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days (which ends tomorrow, Oct. 8), the Sonos Ace over-ear headphones are Sonos’ first foray into the headphone market after perfecting home audio, and let’s just get this out of the way: they pretty much nailed it on the first go.

The Sonos Ace has every feature you could want in a pair of headphones and then some, starting with active noise cancelation and transparency modes.

With the noice cancelation on, I could barely hear the keys on my keyboard clicking as I typed and the headphones virtually erased the noise of the TV playing in my house as I walked around listening to music. Using transparency mode, it’s easy to have a conversation (or just order coffee at a cafe) without taking the headphones off. The outside world is crisp and clear.

The Ace also comes with spatial audio, dynamic head tracking, and Dolby Atmos; that basically means you’re always going to get the best sound possible out of these, whether you’re listening to your favorite podcast, a jazzy film score, or hard rock.

Don’t find yourself regretting it when the price goes back up after Prime Day ends on July 11. Add the Sonos Ace to your cart now, and thank me later.

As a headphone tester, these have a permanent spot in my rotation. Just like Sonos has perfected home audio, they have perfected headphones with Dolby Audio and more built right in. The battery lasts me almost all week and the active noise cancellation is unmatched. Read our full review for more on this worth-the-splurge pair.

Your Prime Big Deal Days FAQs, answered

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.

How long does Prime Big Deal Days last?

Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

When does Prime Big Deal Days end?

Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.

Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days: What’s the difference?

What are the best deals?

When is the next Prime Day?

Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years.
