With Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday on the horizon, we’re officially entering deals season. If you’ve been saving up or waiting for the right time to pounce on a great music gear deal, now could be your chance. 

While these aren’t Prime Day music deals, per se, these studio headphones and in-ear monitors discounts at Sweetwater are well worth a look if you’re in the market for a new set of studio cans or IEMs.

Studio headphones are an absolute essential for anyone who spends a lot of time making music at home or on the go. Not all models are created equal – some will become uncomfortable quickly, while others won't last more than a few DJ sets – but you can stand by the quality and performance of brands like Shure, Sennhesier, Beyerdynamic and AKG, all of which are available at reduced prices here.

While live shows are few and far between, in-ear monitors are a great option for home practice and, if during lockdown you’ve been pondering an upgrade from wedges to in-ears, we’d recommend you start getting used to them now before you play your next gig.
