Audio and TV Deals
The flagship
Apple AirPods Pro 3 are its best wireless earbuds. Music sounds fantastic on these buds; they offer the best noise cancellation around and deliver excellent call quality. Apple added more ear tips for a better fit for small ears, new tools like heart rate sensing and live translation, and enhanced support for folks with hearing loss. If you use an iPhone, these are the wireless earbuds for you, and I've never seen them cheaper than this.
With the same gorgeous, comfortable, iconic design as its predecessor,
Apple’s AirPods Max 2 bring improved noise canceling and Bluetooth connectivity. Apple also upgraded software features, like gesture controls and Adaptive Audio. They’re a bit pricey at the RRP, but this discount is decent for Apple fans.
One of the
best Prime Day headphone deals we've seen, Sony's WH-1000XM6 are simply the best noise-canceling headphones ever. If you want to block out even the most disruptive background noise while also enjoying frankly superb audio performance no matter which genre of music you’re listening to, these are the cans you need.
No doubt
Sonos has had its ups and downs in the last few years, but the Sonos Era 100 is a great wee speaker with impressive room tuning, deep bass for its size, and Bluetooth connectivity. It also works as a smart speaker, but only with Alexa, and it's easy to group with other Sonos speakers.
Home cinephiles willing to drop some cash for one of the
best TVs this year will struggle to find a better option than the LG C5. It boasts perfect contrast, fantastic highlights, and vibrant color, and gets bright enough for well-lit rooms. It supports a 144-Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync for gamers, and there’s Dolby Vision for movie fans. We also love the LG Magic Remote, which makes it easy to navigate LG’s relatively good tvOS interface. This TV has been steadily dropping from its original $2,700 MSRP, but this is the lowest price yet.
Our TV reviewers call this Samsung QD-OLED TV the best option for gaming. If your TV spends most of its time plugged into a console, you'll be blown away by this one. It has all the basics as a premium television, including fantastic color accuracy, near infinite contrast, and three size options. But the gaming aspect comes from both software and hardware. It has an excellent implementation of Samsung's gaming hub, which gives you access to console and cloud gaming alike. But it also comes with an HDMI 2.1 port, the gaming bar, and the responsive input delay.
Phones, Wearables, and Accessories Deals
Packed with Google’s latest artificial intelligence features and one of the best camera systems available, the
Pixel 10 might be the best Android phone for most folks right now. You can expect solid performance, a quirky design, and Google’s elegant take on Android software. Its bigger siblings offer slight improvements, but won’t justify the extra expense for most people, especially when the Pixel 10 is discounted like this.
The
Samsung S26 Ultra was the pick of the bunch this year, with a cool privacy screen, blazing performance, long battery life, and an excellent camera, but all three of Samsung's S26 phones are on sale right now. These are the lowest prices they've been so far.
The
best smart ring has never been cheaper than this. Oura did just release a slimmer version, but the Ring 4 is currently close to half the price and it's still an excellent option for health, fitness, and sleep tracking.
The
Apple Watch Series 11 is by far the best smartwatch for iPhone owners. The headline improvement is 24-hour battery life, which enables proper sleep tracking. You also get clinically validated watchOS health updates, including FDA-cleared hypertension notifications, Apple’s proprietary Sleep Score, and blood oxygen sensing. It’s a polished wrist computer that can genuinely help you stay healthy and is well worth the investment at this discounted price.
Nimble is a cool company that strives to be
environmentally friendly, and it makes some of the best power banks you can buy. The Champ series is reliable, has a fun design, and will keep your smartphone topped up when you need it most. The larger Champ Pro is also on sale if you need more power.
My pick of the best travel adapters, this gadget is all you need to keep your phone and everything else charged up when you're on a trip. The classic slider design covers 200 countries or so, and it provides a universal input socket, an additional side socket for US or Japan plugs, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports on the bottom. There's even a retractable USB-C cable.
If you're someone who likes the idea of having all your important stuff in one spot, a MagSafe wallet like this one is just what you want. It snaps right onto the back of your iPhone, and the clever design of it means you don't have to remove it to access your cards. They can be slid right out with just a squeeze to the sides of your wallet.
Of the countless
Apple 3-in-1 wireless chargers I've tested, this claimed a permanent place on my bedside cabinet. It is a classy-looking mix of chrome and soft-touch black plastic with a lovely weighted base that enables you to pick up your iPhone without pulling the whole charger off your nightstand. The iPhone pad can also be tilted and hold your iPhone vertically or horizontally, with support for StandBy mode. It can fast charge capable iPhone and Apple Watch models and charge any AirPods with a wireless charging case.
This folding
3-in-1 travel charger is perfect for frequent flyers, with 25-watt charging for Qi2 25W-supported phones, fast Apple Watch charging, and an effective cooling fan. It folds away neatly and has a strong magnetic pad that supports portrait or landscape orientation. You can adjust angles for the phone and watch chargers, and the fan is relatively quiet, but you can also turn it off when you’re trying to sleep.
If you want something hard-wearing and fast charging from the
best USB-C cables, this is our pick. It tops out at 240 watts, and has a tough, braided nylon exterior made from 100 percent recycled plastic. Anker promises this cable will last a century and it can operate in temperatures from -40 degrees to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. The ribbed cuffs make it easy to grip, it’s USB-IF certified, and there’s a lifetime warranty.
Computers and Home Office Deals
This is the
best monitor for your home office, especially at this price. It is a 4K monitor with great color and a 120-Hz refresh rate, and it comes with a beautiful white stand that’s fully adjustable. The only real downside is the lack of ports, but you can always opt for the S2725QC to add a built-in USB hub.
The
best laptop is consistently priced lower than the competition, and this is the cheapest we've seen it yet. The latest model, launched earlier this year, boasts the M5 chip. The outside hasn't changed much since 2022, but inside, the graphics performance is way better thanks to the M5, and there's now support for up to two external monitors.
Compact, super cute, and available in a few fun colors, these are my current
computer speakers, and I'm in no hurry to change them. They boast rich, warm, and detailed sound, with surprisingly good bass. Connectivity is solid, with a pair of RCA inputs, a subwoofer output, a 3.5 mm headphone port around the front, and support for Bluetooth 5.0.
For PC gamers, a good mouse is essential and should feel like an extension of your will. Razer's Viper V3 Pro is one of the
best gaming mice because it's lightweight and incredibly responsive. Its successor is out now, but it doesn’t add much, so this is a deal worth grabbing.
If you've always fancied creating your own server for backups, local streaming, or other projects, now is the time to bite. One of the
best NAS devices, Ugreen's excellent four-bay DH4300 Plus has everything you need to get started. It's easy to set up, reasonably fast, has ports aplenty, and is relatively quiet.
The
Netgear Orbi 770 Series simply the best mesh Wi-Fi system for most folks looking to upgrade their home internet speed. This tri-band mesh (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz) is easy to set up and use and delivers speedy internet over a wide area. You also get features like MLO (Multi-Link Operation) to enable newer Wi-Fi 7 devices to connect on multiple bands simultaneously. Basic security is built in, but you need to subscribe if you fancy some more advanced features like enhanced security or parental controls.
Tablets and E-Reader Deals
Amazon's deep discounts on its own range of devices are always some of the best Prime Day tech deals, and the
Kindle Paperwhite is the bench of the bunch. On its own, it's the best e-reader you can buy. There’s an illuminated 7-inch screen, up to 12 weeks of battery life, and smooth performance. The screen is black-and-white, has great contrast, and is very comfortable to read on. Both the Signature and regular versions are on sale, but only the Signature has the auto-adjusting front light and wireless charging.
If you need a cheap way to read books on the go, there's nothing better than just the simple, basic Kindle. It doesn't have the backlit screen or stylus support, but it's designed for readers who just want to take their books on one device that's easy on their eyes. The device was updated last in 2024, and for Prime Day, it's at a fantastic price.
The best iPad deal out there is on the latest iPad Air, which comes with the M4 chip. I really like this iPad, because it's as much as most people need the iPad to do. Very few people will actually use the iPad Pro for all its worth or be willing to pay the exorbitant upgrade cost. The iPad Air is perfect for someone who wants to occasionally use their iPad for light work. It's the perfect device to travel with, and you'll likely never hit the barrier of its performance.
Home Tech Deals
Easily the
smartest indoor security camera currently available, Google’s third-generation Nest Cam indoor kicks the resolution up to 2K at 30 fps, with HDR and night vision. There’s also two-way audio, enforced two-factor authentication, and accurate detection to alert you about people, animals, or vehicles. The Google Home Premium subscription is pricey at $10 per month ($100/year) for 30 days of event video history and familiar face alerts, but it covers all your Nest devices.
This incredibly versatile device is one of the
best indoor security cameras, with a dual-lens design, combining a regular 4K camera with a 130-degree field of view with a 2K telephoto lens that supports 3x optical zoom. You can pan 360 degrees and tilt 75 degrees, there’s AI tracking with up to four preset positions, privacy mode, two-way audio, and onboard AI to detect people, pets, and sounds. Record locally with a microSD card or HomeBase 3 (both sold separately).
This
top floodlight security camera is the perfect pick for folks with an Arlo system. It has two adjustable panels (up to 2,000 lumens), and can be wall or ceiling mounted, though it must be hardwired. This camera provides crisp video at 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, with a wide 160-degree field of view and HDR support, so it handles mixed lighting well. It also supports 12X digital zoom to focus in on details.
Every time I spotted a Slush Puppie machine as a kid I got excited, but now you can have your very own countertop slushie machine. I’m reliably informed that it’s the
best slushie machine, capable of producing delicious silly frozen cocktails and all manner of soft slushies drinks. Just watch out for the brain freeze!
The
best robot lawn mower for most people with regular, flat lawns is down to $1,119 if you clip the coupon for 20 percent off on Amazon right now. This compact mower maps your lawn automatically, employing a triple AI camera system, GPS, and 4G to cut your grass accurately in neat lines. The obstacle avoidance is reliable, and it comes with a handy covered charging station. The deal runs through Prime Day, ending on June 26.
Effective and smart, this cordless wet vacuum and mop is great at cleaning hard floors. Fill the front container with water and a smaller secondary tank with Dreame’s cleaning solution, and it works out how much solution is required based on how messy your floor is. You can clean laminate, wood, tile, or any other hard surface, and use the vacuum on short-pile
carpets and rugs. It’s easy to maneuver and can lie flat to get under furniture.
It's only $4 off, but if it alerts you to a leak, this deal could save you thousands of dollars in water damage. These reliable devices made our
best water leak detectors guide because they have four metal probes underneath and two above to swiftly detect water dripping or pooling. Alerts hit my phone as push notifications within one to two seconds, and there’s a fairly loud 90-decibel alarm, though you can reduce the volume in the app or even mute it. Just bear in mind, you need a Tapo hub ($23) to connect these with.
With impressive brightness and rich colors, this light strip is easily configurable via the Hue app. There are countless animated scenes to choose from, and it syncs with music or your TV screen when paired with a Play HDMI Sync Box. It has special mounts to make it easy to tuck away behind your TV and comes in different lengths for different screen sizes. However, it doesn’t look terrible if you do get a glimpse, thanks to the diffuser.
Why not upgrade your home with 100 feet of outdoor lighting, sporting 60 RGBIC LEDs, at a hefty discount? Like all
our favorite Govee smart lights, you can choose colors, brightness, animated scenes, and automation in the jam-packed app. These IP67-rated lights are designed to be permanently attached to the outside of your home for all your holiday celebrations or just classy lighting year-round.
Automatic curtains are a great way to wake in the morning with natural light and to keep the heat in or out if you live somewhere sunny. The trouble is they tend to be horribly expensive, but you can get retrofit solutions, like this third generation SwitchBot device. It is easy to fit and works well if you have the right kind of drapes. In fact, this is our pick of the best retrofit options for automatic curtains in our
best smart shades guide. Just keep in mind that you need two for a pair of curtains.
