There's no better time to save on tech than during sales events, and October Prime Day sales have slashed prices on our favorite gadgets — from wired headphones and Bluetooth speakers to wireless earbuds. As someone who tests audio gear for a living, I love finding out that my top-rated products have been discounted, and I'm happy to say that I've found a killer deal for you on the earbuds I adore most.

That's right: the Sony WF-C710N earbuds are currently 40% off at Amazon, which brings them down to their lowest-ever price of $78. Usually in the past, I've seen the black and white variants get major discounts, but this time around, the stunning glass blue version has dropped in price too — so why wait until Black Friday when you can snag these earbuds right now?

There's a lot to love about the WF-C710Ns. Firstly, these earbuds look uber cool. The see-through glass blue colorway is simply gorgeous. These buds are also highly comfortable. They weigh next to nothing (0.18oz) so you don't even realize they're in your ears. When I was testing the WF-C710Ns, there were moments I forgot I even had them in my ears, so I could enjoy my favorite tunes all day long.

But what good are earbuds if they don't make your music sound outstanding? Luckily, these earbuds check nearly every box. They use 5mm drivers to deliver powerful bass and clear vocals. Sony’s trademarked Digital Sound Enhancement Engine technology is at play here too, which reproduces sounds as close to the original recording as possible.

Nearly every track I listened to through the WF-C710Ns sounded divine, whether that was Twenty One Pilots' 'Jumpsuit' or Lana Del Rey's 'Music to Watch Boys to.' These earbuds boast powerful bass with every note in basslines clearly discernible, and vocals sound crystal clear. You can read all about the sound quality in my full Sony WF-C710N review.

But there's one more very good reason to buy the WF-C710Ns — they feature highly effective active noise cancellation (ANC). I'd say it's even better than the Bose QuietComforts' (which are also currently 28% off at Amazon). The WF-C710Ns block out most sounds indoors and outdoors, thanks to the Wind Noise Reduction design which, basically, reduces the sound of wind buffeting so you can hear music more clearly.

These tiny buds also pack up to 33.5 hours of battery life which is comparable to pricier rivals from Bose and JBL. Combine that with the comfortable fit and you've got a pair of earbuds you can enjoy for long periods of time between charges.

Right now, the WF-C710Ns are available for just $78 at Amazon. This is the lowest-ever price we've seen, and who knows if we'll see these earbuds discounted when Black Friday comes around, so why wait?
