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.
Prime Day 2025 is here in October , and we’ll be sharing the best deals on our blog as we find them. If you’re looking to stay within a specific price range, I’ve already highlighted the best deals on tech under $25 . And if you have a little more wiggle room, here are the best deals on tech under $50.
Anker Outdoor Speakers for Just $28
Anker has long been a success in the budget speaker and headphone segment. The Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker is a great example, currently priced at $27.99 (originally $44.99).
If you’re looking for a more recognizable brand, check out the Sony SRS-XB100 wireless Bluetooth speaker , which is now just $33 (original price: $59.99). This is an all-time low for this speaker.
The Echo Dot costs only $35.
While the Amazon Echo Dot can’t be taken outdoors like previous models, you can control it by turning devices on and off, asking questions, or playing music in multiple rooms if you own multiple Echo models. The latest model is available for $34.99 (original price: $49.99).
Anker headphones are down to $25.
As I mentioned, Anker also makes excellent budget headphones. The Soundcore P30i are just $24.99 (originally $49.99) and feature active noise cancellation, a 45-hour battery life, and IP54 splash resistance.
Those who use the Amazon Echo ecosystem should take a closer look at the Amazon Echo Buds (if they become available again). They were at their lowest price ever – $44.99 (originally $139.99) after a 60% discount. They feature active noise cancellation, Alexa voice assistant, and are compatible with both iOS and Android.
If you’re looking for full-size headphones, Anker also offers the Soundcore Q20i hybrid headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC), now priced at $39.99 (originally $69.99) by clicking “See all buying options.” They feature powerful bass, a customizable equalizer in the companion app, and a 40-hour battery life.
Blink security cameras have lost more than half of their capabilities.
Blink always has great deals during Amazon promotions—it’s an Amazon company, after all. Right now, you can get the latest Blink video doorbell with the Sync Module Core for $34.99 (originally $69.99). If you prefer an outdoor camera, get the same kit with the Blink Outdoor 4 for $34.99 (originally $79.99).
You can buy a Roku with 4K for $30.
My favorite streaming player is Roku: it’s simple, responsive, reliable, and affordable. The Streaming Stick 4K is compatible with HDR and Dolby Vision, and the remote supports voice control. It’s available for $29.99 (original price: $49.99).
This compact Camkory camera costs $40.
Point-and-shoot cameras are making a comeback. The Camkory kids’ camera is available for $39.99 (original price: $49.99). It shoots in 1080p with a 44MP lens.
This Clokowe mini projector costs $40.
You don’t need an expensive projector— the Clokowe mini projector is just $39.99 (originally $69.99) after applying a 30% off coupon. It projects in 1080p and is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. Not bad for a budget projector.
A $26 keychain-sized portable charger
You never know how important a charger is until you need it. If you’re one of those people who always forgets to pack a portable charger, this keychain, which also doubles as a universal charger with built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, is a great solution. It’s available for $25.99 (original price: $32.99).
Smart Leak Detectors for $37
Leaks are no joke. They’re so expensive that by the time most homeowners even realize they’re there, they’ve already suffered significant damage that would be costly to repair. Luckily, smart technology can help. This three-sensor kit from Aqara works with an app to alert you to any water leaks.
