The second Prime Day in Australia for 2026 began on Tuesday, September 29 and will run until Monday, October 5. During this time, popular brands like Bose, Sony, and Sennheiser are offering substantial discounts on their headphones. While some deals are as good as those seen during the main Prime Day in July, many are still competitive.

With Amazon, customers can often receive their new headphones within two days or even sooner if they have a Prime membership. Additionally, fresh deals and prices may appear throughout the sale, so it's advisable to check back regularly for the latest offers.

Over-ear headphones are a popular choice among budget-conscious shoppers. The 1More Sonoflow headphones are a great cost-effective audio upgrade, offering comfort, noise cancelling capability, and an impressive 70 hours of battery life. Reviewers have praised these headphones, making them the best value for money in their opinion.

The 1More Sonoflow Pro, with a price reduction from $129.99 to $82.14, maintains its position as the best budget noise-cancelling headphones due to its satisfying sound, excellent battery life, and superior noise cancelling performance.

Soundcore is another brand that consistently delivers high-quality headphones at affordable prices. The Soundcore Space One headphones, which reduce noise by 98% and provide continuous playback of up to 55 hours, are an excellent choice for audiophiles looking for a budget-friendly alternative to Beats. The Soundcore Space One Pro, priced at a significant discount from $349.99 to $199.99, improves upon its non-Pro version with enhanced sound quality, hi-res audio support (thanks to LDAC), strong ANC, and a great battery life of up to 60 hours.

The companion app also allows for extensive customization and includes a personalization feature called HearID. Finally, JBL's stylish over-ear headphones, the Live 780NC, offer a distinctive design and top-notch performance. While only the orange and purple pairs are currently discounted, priced at $189.05, these headphones are an attractive alternative to more established names in the market.
