I’m the Tech Editor, and Here Are the Best Prime Day Deals I’ve Seen.
The Amazon Prime Day sale starts next week , but that doesn’t mean you have to wait for great deals on tech. While the biggest discounts will likely begin during the sale itself, Amazon is already offering discounts on a range of devices, including smart speakers, headphones, and smartphones. If you’re planning to upgrade your tech in the near future, now is the perfect time to check out the Amazon sale.
With Amazon Prime Day underway, the best tech deals I’m seeing are on Amazon products across a wide range of the company’s brands. This is great if you were already planning on buying Amazon products, but I don’t usually like to highlight every single thing Amazon has on sale. So I’ve listed a few options here, but keep in mind that if Amazon releases something, it’s likely on sale now.
AirPods are on sale for over $30 off.
There are plenty of headphone options on the market, but if you’re already an Apple ecosystem enthusiast, AirPods are arguably the best choice. Yes, they sound great, but they also pair and sync with all your devices. You can switch from listening to music on your iPhone to watching YouTube videos on your iPad without having to reconnect your headphones.
While Apple AirPods Pro 3 headphones were discounted before Prime Day, it appears the sale is over. However, if you prefer more traditional Apple headphones, you’re in luck. Amazon is offering discounts on both the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and the standard AirPods 4. If you don’t need noise cancellation, you can get the latter for the flat price of $99.
Beats Solo 4 headphones are on sale for 35%.
If you’re looking for Apple headphones but are a little put off by the AirPods Max’s $549 price tag, Beats might be a better option. Since Apple owns Beats, you’ll get the same easy pairing benefits as AirPods, but at a lower suggested retail price. For over-ear headphones lovers, there’s the Beats Solo 4 , which is currently on sale for $129.95 (down from $199.95). The Solo 4 offers up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge and supports lossless playback via USB-C. If over-ear headphones are more your style, there’s the Beats Studio Pro for $169.95 (down from $199.95). They offer up to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, noise cancellation, and also support lossless playback via USB-C.
Sony WH-CH520 headphones are on sale for almost 50% off.
Sony isn’t known for its flashy names, but that doesn’t affect the quality of its products. While Sony headphones can be expensive, the company also offers mid-range and budget options. For example, the Sony WH-CH520 headphones are on sale for just $38 (46% off $69.99) ahead of Prime Day. These over-ear headphones offer up to 50 hours of battery life. Like other modern wireless headphones, the WH-CH520 can be connected to two devices simultaneously, so you can switch between your phone and laptop as needed.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are 27% off.
Bose has long been known for its noise-canceling technology, but it also makes some of the highest-quality headphones on the market . Therefore, the QuietComfort Ultras headphones aren’t cheap, with a suggested retail price of $449. But before Prime Day, you can get them for 27% off for $329. These over-ear headphones offer up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. They also support spatial sound and can connect to Bose soundbars for TV audio.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 is available with a $100 discount.
While I’m seeing plenty of great deals on headphones right now, there’s one smartphone brand that’s discounted on Amazon. The Samsung Galaxy S26 is currently on sale for $100 off, down to $799.99. The company’s latest flagship smartphone features three rear cameras (including a 50-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens), a 6.3-inch 1080p AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Elite Gen 5 processor, and 256GB of RAM. If you need more storage, the Galaxy S26 with 512GB of storage is also on sale for the unbeatable price of $943.99.
Amazon Fire TV Cube is currently 36% off.
I’m not a huge Amazon fan, but as I mentioned above, most Prime Day bonuses apply to Amazon’s own devices. For example, if you’re looking for a new streaming device, you’ll find plenty of Amazon Fire products already discounted. Perhaps the best deal I’m seeing right now is the Fire TV Cube , which is currently 36% off—at least the lowest price in the last three months, according to Keepa. The Cube has all the benefits of Amazon’s streaming offerings, including most HDR formats, Wi-Fi 6E and Ethernet, picture-in-picture mode, Alexa home theater, and the ability to connect other devices. However, if you only need 4K streaming, consider deals on Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K devices , which are cheaper than the Cube.
The eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi System from Amazon is 35% off.
Similarly, Amazon is currently offering a great deal on its eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi system . Mesh Wi-Fi is one of the best ways to extend Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. Standard extenders take your Wi-Fi signal as is and “replicate” it over a greater distance; this can be useful for extending range, but if the signal was initially weak, it won’t do much. Mesh Wi-Fi, on the other hand, rebroadcasts Wi-Fi signals at full power from each “node,” which can significantly improve Wi-Fi network performance, especially in larger homes. The eero 6+ Mesh system is listed at $299.99, but Amazon has it for $194.99.
The Amazon Echo Dot Max is 35% off.
Almost all Amazon smart speakers are discounted ahead of Prime Day, from basic models to the most expensive options. But I think most people are interested in Amazon’s mid-range speaker, the Echo Dot Max , which usually retails for $99.99. It’s currently 35% off and costs $64.99, down from its early May price. This speaker competes directly with Apple’s HomePod and the new Google Home Speaker .
