Amazon Prime Day is finally here, and the tech deals are plentiful. Amazon’s massive annual sale has discounts on a ton of devices, including smart speakers, headphones, and smartphones. If you were planning on upgrading your tech in the near future, now is the time.

Now, seeing as this is Amazon Prime Day, the biggest tech deals I’m seeing are on Amazon products, across the company’s many brands. That’s all fine and well if you were planning on buying Amazon stuff anyway, but I don’t typically want to highlight just anything Amazon happens to put up for sale. As such, I’ve listed a few options here, but know that, if Amazon makes it, there’s a good chance it’s discounted right now.

The AirPods Pro 3 are $70 off

There are a lot of headphone options out there, but if you’re already entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, AirPods are arguably the best choice. They sound great, yes, but they also pair and sync with all of your devices. You can go from listening to music on your iPhone to watching a YouTube video on your iPad without having to re-pair your earbuds. While the company’s AirPods Pro 3 were on a slightly bigger sale ahead of Prime Day, you can still get them for $180, which is just $10 more than their lowest price ever.

The Beats Solo 4 headphones are 50% off

If you’re looking for a pair of Apple headphones, but balk a bit at AirPods Max’s $549 price tag, Beats might be your best bet. Since Apple owns Beats, you’ll get the same easy-pairing perks as AirPods, but with a smaller MSRP. For on-ear fans, there’s Beats Solo 4, which are currently on sale for $99.95 (down from $199.95). The Solo 4s can last up to 50 hours on one charge, and support lossless playback over USB-C. If over-ear is more your style, check out the Beats Studio Pro for $149.95 (down from $199.95.) These will run up to 40 hours on a single charge, come with noise cancellation, and also support lossless audio over USB-C.

The Sony WH-CH520 headphones are more than half off

Sony isn’t known for catchy names, but that doesn’t have any impact on the quality of their products. While Sony headphones can run pricey, the company offers midrange and budget options, too. Case in point, the Sony WH-CH520 headphones, which are only $33 for Prime Day (a 53% discount from $69.99). These are on-ear style headphones, with up to 50 hours of playback. Like other modern wireless headphones, you can connect the WH-CH520 with up to two devices at once, so you can jump between your phone and laptop as needed.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are 27% off

Bose has long been known for its noise cancellation tech, but it also makes some of the highest-quality headphones you can buy. As such, the QuietComfort Ultras aren’t cheap, with an MSRP of $449. But for Prime Day, you can pick them up for $269, a full 40% off. These are over-the-ear headphones with up to 24 hours of playback on one charge. They also support spatial audio, and can connect with Bose soundbars for TV audio.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is $100 off

While a lot of the best deals I’m seeing now are with headphones, there’s one smartphone brand with some discounts on Amazon. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is currently $200 off, dropping the price to $699.99. The company’s latest flagship smartphone comes with three rear cameras (including a 50MP wide lens, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide lens), a 6.3-inch 1080p AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Elite Gen 5 chip, and 256 GB of RAM. If you need a bit more storage, the 512GB Galaxy S26 is also on sale for the oddly-priced $899.99.

The Amazon Fire TV Cube is 36% off right now

I’m not necessarily a big Amazon person, but as I mentioned above, most of the Prime Day perks are for Amazon’s own devices. If you need a new streaming device, for example, you’ll find many of the company’s Fire products already on sale. Maybe the best I see right now is the Fire TV Cube, which is currently 36% off—at least the lowest price in the past three months per Keepa. The Cube comes with all of Amazon’s streaming perks, including most HDR formats, Wi-Fi 6E and ethernet, live view picture-in-picture, Alexa Home Theater, and the ability to connect your other devices. If all you want is 4K streaming, however, consider deals on Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K devices, which are cheaper than the Cube (the linked model is 42% off, and just $35).

Amazon’s eero 6+ mesh wifi system is 35% off

Similarly, Amazon has a great deal right now on its eero 6+ wifi mesh system. Mesh wifi is among the best strategies for extending wifi throughout your home. Standard extenders take your wifi signal as it is and “repeat” it further out; this can be helpful for extending the range, but if the signal was weak to begin with, it won’t do you much good. Mesh wifi, on the other hand, rebroadcasts wifi signals at full strength from each “node,” which can radically improve a wifi network, 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

Nearly all of Amazon’s smart speakers are on sale for Prime Day, from its base models to its priciest options. But my guess is most people are interested in Amazon’s mid-tier speaker, the Echo Dot Max, which typically retails for $99.99. Right now, it’s 35% off at $64.99, cheaper than its previous dip back in early May. This is the speaker that directly competes with Apple’s HomePod and the new Google Home Speaker.
