Sony WH-CH710N Noise-Canceling Headphones
Sometimes, we get really lucky, and a big name drops the price on luxe headphones for Prime Day.

No humming from your air conditioner or thrum from the washing machine; it’s just you and your music. Makes an impressive holiday gift (they’ll think you spent a fortune).
“The Sony headphones are perfect. They sync easily and the sound is clear,” raved a five-star reviewer. “The noise-canceling feature is great and often annoys my wife and kids when I can't hear them. These are very comfortable.... The charging is quick and the battery life is very good.”
