Best Prime Day tech deals
A four-pack of Apple AirTags sell for $99 at full price, though they frequently sell for $80. Right now for Prime Day, they’re down to $75. We think these are the best Bluetooth trackers you can buy if you’re an iPhone user. They rely on Apple’s vast Find My network that calls on every nearby iPhone to anonymously pinpoint an AirTag’s location. We found their locating features to be eerily accurate.
The Apple Watch Series 9 has been discounted to $280 for Prime Day. The Series 9 adds an upgraded SiP, on-device Siri processing and a handy Double Tap gesture feature that makes it easier to interact with the Watch’s UI even when you can’t tap its touchscreen.
We consider the Series 9 to be the best smartwatch available today, period, and it's a no-brainer accessory for iPhone owners. If you want to spend less and get most of the code features found here, you should consider the more affordable Apple Watch SE.
Apple’s AirPods Pro have dropped to $169 for Prime Day. They have excellent ANC, good sound quality with spatial audio support and hands-free Siri access. The latest model has a wireless charging case with a USB-C port and MagSafe compatibility.
The Pros are the best pair of wireless earbuds that Apple sells and one of our top picks overall. They'll be hard to beat if you live in the Apple ecosystem and appreciate the conveniences provided by the buit-in H1 chip.
The AirPods Max are down to a new low of $395, which is roughly $85 off their average street price on Amazon in recent months and $154 off Apple’s list price.
We gave this pair a review score of 84 when it arrived way back in December 2020. Despite its age, the Max remains one of the more premium sets of wireless headphones you can buy. It sounds impressively detailed and balanced, its aluminum frame looks and feels high-end and its ANC is still among the strongest on the market. Battery life is OK at roughly 20 hours per charge, and its Apple-Watch-style digital crown is more responsive than typical touch controls. Most (but not all) of the usual AirPods features are still here, too, from hands-free Siri to Find My tracking to faster pairing and device switching with other Apple hardware. The metal design is fairly hefty, however, and it weirdly lacks a power button, instead relying on a flimsy “case” to enter a low-power mode. You’ll still need to be an Apple loyalist to get the most out of it. But with this discount, it's much more competitive.
It’s worth noting that we may see a revised AirPods Max by the end of 2024, according to past reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, possibly around the launch of the next iPhone. That said, the new model isn’t expected to be a massive overhaul: Gurman says the only major change will be a swap to USB-C for charging and wired playback. The current set uses Lightning. If you can live with that, it's still worth considering at this price.
The 10th-gen iPad has dropped to $299 for Prime Day. It’s the best iPad for those on a budget thanks to its modern design, USB-C charging, solid battery life and solid performance for the price. It’s even compatible with an optional folio keyboard if you want to turn it into a productivity machine.
While we recommend the latest iPad Air for most people it's hard to beat the value of the 10th-gen model, especially when you can snag it on sale like this.
Amazon’s smallest smart speaker, the Echo Dot, has dropped to $25 for Prime Day. It’s one of the best smart speakers you can get right now thanks to its compact design, physical button controls that compliment voice commands and its solid sound quality for its size.
The Kids version is also on sale for $28 for this sale.
The Echo Show 8 has dropped to $85 for Prime Day. This is our current top pick for the best smart display with Amazon’s Alexa thanks in part to its 8-inch touchscreen, 13MP camera that supports auto-framing for better video chats and its built-in Zigbee smart home hub.
The 2023 model supports Visual ID, which will show personalized information on the device’s display depending on who’s using it, and video streaming from Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video and other services.
The base Kindle is on sale for $85 for Prime Day. It’s our top pick for the best budget ereader out there, and it’s an even better value when you can snag it on discount. In addition to giving you access to Amazon’s vast Kindle ebook library, the entry-level Kindle has a good number of page customization options (for text size, font, margins, etc) and Audible integration, which lets you listen to Audible audiobooks if you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on sale for $298 right now. They excel thanks to their excellent sound quality and ANC, improved design, 30-hour battery life and handy extra features like multi-device connectivity and Speak to Chat.
These are our top pick for the best headphones on the market today — it doesn't get much better than the XM5. If you're on a tight budget and still want the core features in these cans, consider the previous version, the Sony WH-1000XM4.
The Anker Soundcore Space A40 is back down to $49, which is a deal we’ve seen a few times in recent months but still ties an all-time low. The pair has typically sold for $59 for most of 2024. The Space A40 tops our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds due to its impressive ANC, wireless charging and multi-device pairing support, comfy fit and 8-10 hours of battery life. You can get more detailed audio quality for more money, but the A40’s warm sound should please most by default, and you can customize the profile through a helpful companion app. The main trade-offs are its mediocre call quality and lack of wear detection; the latter means your music won’t auto-pause when you remove an earbud.
Amazon Prime Day is finally here and you can pick up a pair of Google Pixel Buds Pro earbuds for just $120 as part of the Prime Day deals. That’s a discount of $80 and a record-low price for the well-reviewed buds.
The Pixel Buds Pro made our list of the best wireless earbuds for a number of reasons. First and foremost, we love the sound. These earbuds offer deep and punchy bass, which is a rarity with this class of device. They also have decent ANC, reliable touch controls and wireless charging. There are also some added convenience features for those already tied to the Android and Pixel ecosystems.
You can pick up the Beats Fit Pro earbuds for just $150 right now during the Prime Day sale. These are our top picks for the best headphones for running thanks to their comfortable, IPX4 design, great sound quality with adaptive EQ, good ANC and transparency mode and solid battery life.
The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds have been discounted to $228 for Prime Day. The XM5 earbuds stand out thanks to their improved design, good sound quality, impressive ANC and special features like adaptive sound and Speak to Chat.
These are the best true wireless earbuds to get at the moment. Sony packs in more features here than most other companies do in their flagship offerings, and these buds are representative of that.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are on sale for $229 right now. Bose has consistently provided the best wireless earbuds for noise cancellation, and the QC Ultra are the latest and our top pick at the moment. In addition to stellar ANC, these buds support spatial audio, gesture controls for volume adjustment and a formidable battery life.
