Prime Day is coming. Prime Big Deal Days (the official name for October's Prime Day) takes place from 8-9th October, and should see deals on all manner of products, from wireless headphones to TVs, to games consoles to Bluetooth speakers, turntables and beyond. But how do you sort the deals wheat from the discount chaff?

Amazon Prime Big Deals Day is nearly here, with plenty of excellent deals coming up before October 8th - even from other competing retailers. Included are two of the best headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 and the Beats Solo3 Wireless.

Prime Day sale is next week, but plenty of hot headphone deals are already available from brands like Apple, JBL, Beats, Sennheiser, Bose, and more.

Other electrifying finds: the new Fire HD 8 tablet for $55, an Apple MacBook Air for $150 off and big savings on Fire TVs.

Prices on earbuds range anywhere from under $10 to in the thousands (if you're going for professional-grade studio earbuds), but even in the narrower range most consumers occupy, you can easily spend up to $300.
