Walmart+ Week isn't the sale for standout headphone deals

UPDATE: Jun. 20, 2024, 10:32 a.m. EDT We've updated this post with the latest headphone deals and availability from day four of Walmart+ Week.

Walmart+ Week kicked off June 17, in theory ushering in the summer savings season, but as of June 20, there aren't any standout deals from the sale itself.

In years past, this sale served as the counter to Amazon's Prime Day (happening sometime in July this year), bringing deals on a wide array of products, from TVs to robot vacuums and headphones.

Instead, day one of the sale started with two deals on random earbud budget brands, along with a few robot vacuum deals, and over 20 deals on WWE figurines. As of day four, one of the earbuds is out of stock, leaving one remaining deal from the brand Baseus. To put it bluntly, the deals we've so far aren't worth using your 30-day free trial sign up to look at. If you've been looking for a pair of headphones to buy, this isn't the sale for you — in fact, headphone deals from other retailers and even non-Walmart+ Walmart deals are much more worth a look (more on that below).

To make matters worse, Walmart+ Week deals are for paying Walmart+ members only — even a trial subscription won't get you access. That means that at the least, you'll be paying $12.95 per month, or $98 for an annual subscription. If you're into the year-round benefits of a Walmart+ subscription, including travel and gas discounts, as well as free delivery through the retailer, you might find the price worth it. But for this sale, and for the product deals alone, we recommend that as it stands, you should wait for Prime Day for better deals to crop up.

We're still keeping our fingers crossed that some better deals crop up in the final days of the sale, but in the meantime, there are some headphone deals not tied to any sale in particular we think are worth checking out. You won't find many new low prices or even dips to record low prices, but they're good enough if you were hoping to save on headphones or earbuds this week.

Note: The following deals are not exclusive to Walmart+ Week, nor are they particularly new. As a consolation to the small number of deals from Walmart+ Week, we've put together a short list of the best headphone deals we've seen from Walmart, Amazon, and more.

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the USB-C AirPods Pro.

You'll also be able to find this deal at Amazon and Best Buy, but we've pulled it as our top pick at Walmart because the AirPods Pro are truly some of our favorite headphones out there. This price isn't particularly rare, but it does come up less than the $199 markdown these headphones usually receive. At $189.99, the AirPods Pro are still about $10 away from their lowest price ever, and we're hoping to see a return come Prime Day, but for the time being, this is still a pretty solid deal.
