Is Prime Day the best time to buy headphones?

How we pick the best Prime Day headphone deals
Many of us at CNET have been covering shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, and countless other shopping events. During this time, we’ve learned how to find the best deals in the sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and only present the best deals from trusted retailers. When we pick the headphone deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality reviews, and time left on sale.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of items on sale, so we know when the list price is more inflated than the actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are very important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in an inferior product experience, no matter how much you save.
- The remaining sales time is also important. Some deals are only available for a limited time or may be limited in supply. If so, we’ll let you know in advance so you don’t have to go back to the deal only to be disappointed later.
