Amazon offers major Labor Day headphone discounts

Amazon's Labor Day sale is cutting prices on popular headphones and earbuds. AirPods Pro 3 are 20% off, and Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are half price. Some older Bose QuietComfort models have dropped to $199. The deals cover a wide range, from basic spare buds to premium over-ear sets. All the highlighted products received strong recommendations from TechRadar.

The device will have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner one, matching Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. It supports MagSafe charging and will rely on Touch ID, not Face ID, because of its thinner design.
