New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
There are plenty of high-end items on sale right now at low prices. But if you’re looking to save money and still get a great deal, there are plenty of deals for you. I’ve scoured my resources to find the best Prime Day deals on tech under $25:
Apple and Anker headphones
Wired headphones have been around since the early 2000s, but on the plus side, they never run out of battery. If you still have an iPhone 14 Plus or earlier (or the third-generation iPhone SE), you can buy official Apple EarPods with a Lightning connector for $15.96 (originally $19) or with a USB-C connector for a few cents more.
If you prefer wireless headphones but don’t want to overpay for something you might lose, the Soundcore by Anker P20i are a great option with impressive features for $17.99 (original price: $39.99). They feature Bluetooth 5.3, a 30-hour battery life, are waterproof, and feature a full-featured equalizer in the dedicated app.
AirTags
You don’t have to be a spy to use tracking devices. As an Apple user, you can authorize AirTags to use the Find My feature to track anything you can attach them to. AirTags are currently available on Amazon for purchase individually for $19.99 (originally $29) or in a pack of four for $64.99 (originally $99), for a total of $16.25 each.
Fire TV Sticks and Echo Pops
If you don’t have a smart TV or don’t like its operating system, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for $24.99 (original price: $49.99). It supports Dolby Atmos sound, virtually all HDR formats, Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, Wi-Fi 6, and you can even install Kodi to watch almost anything for free.
The Amazon Echo Pop is Amazon’s most affordable smart speaker. If you have multiple speakers in different rooms, you can take advantage of the multi-room music feature. Get more than one now: you can get one for $24.99 (original price: $39.99).
This is a portable phone charger.
I recently lost my Iniu portable charger while traveling in Europe. Fortunately, it happened toward the end of the trip, and it served its purpose well, saving my phone’s battery (and, therefore, my life) more than once. It’s now available for $18.69 (original price: $29.99).
This portable outdoor speaker
If you’re looking for an affordable portable speaker for outdoor use that can get wet, consider the BolaButty portable speaker, now on sale for $19.99 (originally $26.99). It’s waterproof, IPX5 rated, and offers 20 hours of battery life.
This heart rate monitor
Okay, I cheated a little. The best heart rate monitoring chest strap, CooSpo , actually costs $26.39 (originally $ 32.99 ), not $25, but $25.99, but it’s so good that Lifehackers Senior Health Editor Beth Skuerecki uses it as a baseline when testing other fitness gadgets. If heart rate monitoring is a priority for you, don’t sleep with this chest strap.
