Welcome to Amazon Big Deal Days! Perhaps you know it by its other name, October Prime Day. In any event, it’s here, and chockablock with stunning markdowns, nowhere more so than in the tech category.
If your group chat has ever devolved into an iPhone vs. Android debate or you’re one of those people who can spot the difference between OLED and QLED at a glance, this is your time. TVs, laptops, headphones and especially Prime Day Apple deals are already rolling out, with some prices nearly matching past all-time lows.
Highlights so far include the AirPods 4 back down to $89, AirPods Pro 2 at $170, and iPads hitting all-time low prices that easily beat Apple’s own store. Expect more Lightning Deals and flash discounts as October Prime Day continues — and plenty of opportunities to score big on Apple, Samsung, Sony and Bose gear before it wraps up tomorrow night.

Thanks to AirTags, I can track my bags from drop-off to the plane to the luggage carousel. And even when the worst happens, and my bags end up in Orlando when I’m in Michigan (true story), I know where they are and how to find them. This price is just .50 above the lowest we’ve ever seen this 4-pack go for.
“First, we bought one Apple AirTag for my husband’s wallet. Then we bought a second one for his car keys,” said this repeat buyer. “Now, we have a four-pack, which is cheaper, for our golf bags and checked roller bags.”

If you don’t like that feeling of having something wedged in your ear and don’t need active noise cancellation, these buds are the way to go. How are they different from the previous generation? The shorter stem gives them a cleaner look, and the new quick-press controls mean no more fumbling to pause your tunes or take a call. Plus, they fit better and stay put, so you won’t have to keep adjusting them while you’re at the gym or running to catch the train.
“I decided to upgrade from my AirPods 2 and I’m impressed!” a happy listener wrote. “Sound quality is great! Wow! They don’t feel like they’re going to fall out of my ears and [are] very comfortable.”

More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers snapped up these earbuds in the past month, so calling them a customer favorite is an understatement (they’re sitting comfortably in my ears as I write this). They come with more features than you might expect given the tiny package: active noise cancellation, transparency mode, USB-C charging and a snug, customizable fit.
“The noise cancellation amazed me,” said this shopper. “I have a window A/C unit to cool my office, and when I put these in, I thought it turned off. It took me two or three times of taking them in and out of my ear to realize the headphones were eliminating the sound.”

It’s been years since I stopped plugging my phone in at night, instead setting it down on a wireless charger that’s plugged in next to my nightstand. That said, some nights it isn’t sitting just right, and I wake up to a dead phone. Not so with a MagSafe charger. Not only is this one $43, but it’s just $10 more than the 1m long version, which means you won’t be stretching the cable just to plug it into the outlet. Need one that can fast-charge? It’s also $43.

If you’re after the absolute best listening experience, these are the Bose headphones for you.

Your music won’t just sound like it’s coming from the headphones; it’ll feel like it’s all around you, fully enveloping you wherever you are, whether on a plane, train or in your very own listening room (I’ve always wanted a listening room).

Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they’re usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there. Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than expected and a price tag of just $28.
Grab these before they jump back up to their already-pretty-amazing regular price of $40.

If you’re guilty of being a little (or very) forgetful, an AirTag may just be that piece of tech you didn’t know you needed. It doesn’t feel or look too “techy.” In fact, it’s completely uncomplicated. Just attach it to whatever you tend to misplace often or need to keep track of, like your wallet, keys or luggage. You’ll always know where it is using the “Find My” app on your phone. It’s among our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.
“I use these for everything as a chronic misplacer,” a savvy shopper said. “My most recent purchase was for my cat’s collar because she hides all over the house. It provides great peace of mind!”

At under $25, this Roku is a downright steal. It includes a voice remote that also controls your TV, so you can forget about having to use multiple remotes at once. It comes with all of the top apps you use every day — Netflix, Max, ESPN — as well as thousands more for those more obscure shows, channels and movies you like to watch.

Considering installing a USB-outlet? Consider this surge-protecting outlet instead. You get 5 outlets plus four more USB charging ports (three USB type A and one USB-C). Plus it’ll screw into the center of your outlet so you don’t yank it off the wall every time you unplug something. Safe. Secure. Inexpensive. Not bad for $9.

This juice box usually goes for $30, making this price a juicy 30%-plus off. Compared to similar power banks, this is an absolute steal, especially for something with 10,000 mAh of power. Need more convincing? It also made our list of the best power banks to buy in 2025.

The newest iPad is an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag with room to spare. With a spacious 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before it feel like an old tube TV. It’s also our pick for the overall best iPad for most users.
Why? Well, this iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. If you’ve got a habit of toggling among a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages simultaneously, you’re in for a treat. And if you’re into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.

You really can’t beat $99 for a 40-inch TV, as long as you are OK with the basics. While it’s only a 1080p TV (no 4K, sadly), the discount on this Insignia model makes it the same price as its 32-inch sibling. Not a bad deal for an extra eight inches.
You won’t get the world’s best picture quality here, but that’s expected at this price. You do, however, get access to Fire TV apps, which means you can stream content from any service you can think of. With Amazon Alexa built in, you can also control the TV and nearby smart-home gadgets using only your voice.

Sometimes you just want an affordable TV that does its job and does it well. That’s what you get with the Amazon Fire TV line, and this 50-inch model is down to a lowest-ever price that we last saw earlier this year.
As its name suggests, this TV runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform, so you have access to all of the smart TV apps you could want. It also features a 4K screen with HDR to keep movies looking crisp. If you have a lot of Amazon devices around your home, it’ll also work great with Alexa skills and smart-home automations.

The Apple Watch Series 11 has barely been on shelves for a week, and it’s already seeing a rare $10 discount. That might not sound like much, but Apple gear rarely dips below MSRP this soon after launch.
The Series 11 builds on the previous model with a brighter, always-on display, a more scratch-resistant screen and improved sleep tracking. And you’re still getting all-day (up to 24 hours) battery life, 64GB of storage and the full suite of health and fitness sensors. If you’re coming from a Series 9 or earlier, these upgrades — plus the chance to save a little right out of the gate — make it worth a serious look.

These Sony headphones aren’t just any old pair of cans. With top-tier noise-cancelling tech, they let you block out the world and dive into your music, podcasts or calls with clarity.
They boast a solid 30 hours of battery life as well as quick charging (a 10-minute charge will get you five hours of playback), so you won’t be hunting for an outlet mid-listen. And with touch-sensor controls, adjusting volume or skipping tracks is as easy as a tap.

If a sleek design is at the top of your tablet wishlist, the latest iPad Air is the perfect fit. Equipped with Apple’s powerful M3 chip, it offers all-day battery life, a stunning 12-megapixel camera, and a Liquid Retina display that makes movies and TV shows pop. Meanwhile, the all-new iPadOS 26 operating system adds full-on windowing, so you can use it more like a real computer (if you so choose). This discount also matches the lowest price we’ve seen.
“The screen resolution is really beautiful,” wrote one impressed shopper. “It’s lighter in weight than my old one and a little thinner. The camera takes gorgeous pictures.”

Are traditional iPads a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine? The smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. At only 8.3 inches, it’s compact enough to hold with just one hand. And at $399, this tablet is just a couple of Hamiltons above its lowest-ever price, which we’ve only ever seen during an earlier Prime Day.
“A powerhouse in a compact form, designed for busy professionals and families who need both portability and performance,” wrote one erudite enthusiast. “Whether you’re managing work tasks, staying connected with loved ones, or entertaining the kids, this tablet handles it all effortlessly.”

Is 5% off really a great deal? Hear me out. These are Sony’s crown jewel of noise-cancelling headphones and they haven’t even been out for more than a few months. If you want the latest and greatest from a company that knows a thing or two about how to make headphones, these are it, and you might as well get a couple bucks off while you’re at it. If a $400+ price tag is too much (I’m right there with you, it hurts my wallet just thinking about it) then check out the XM4s, which are still a really great headphone, for under 200 bucks.

There’s not an outlet in my home that isn’t filled, at least some of the time, with a lamp, appliance or charger — cameras, computers, phones — of some kind, so a power strip like this can be worth its weight in gold. This one not only has plugs on all sides, but it comes with four USB-ports so you can charge all of your electronics at once.

This highly rated (and reasonably priced) telly is the one Goldilocks would likely opt for; not too big, not too small, just right. High-def resolution and Dolby Digital Audio help enhance the viewing experience with both a clear picture and incredible sound, and you’ll have easy access to all of your favorite streaming platforms in one place.

Looking for the best of the best? Speaking as someone who has used one every workday for the past 13 years, a MacBook Pro is likely exactly what you’re looking for. This one was released just a few months ago and comes with some of the latest features, like Apple Intelligence and the advanced M4 chip. It also has a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, one of the crispest in the entire MacBook lineup.
“This laptop will last a decade. The battery lasts forever. I do mild development work for my job, and this laptop is capable of handling all the Python code without issue,” said this snake handler. “This is perfect for students, professionals and more.”

If you want to save a little on an Apple wearable, the Series 10 is still worth the investment. It boasts an always-on Retina display and comes with useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker and more. And while the Series 11 has just been released, it sports the same processor, same design and nearly all of the same features. In other words, you’re getting the bulk of the 2025 Apple Watch here, but at the 2024 discount.
“I upgraded from a Series 5,” said this watch wearer. “The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go two days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it’s full in about 30 minutes. The price is on par for the quality. The health sensors are nice. I know I have sleep apnea and never got around to taking care of it. The watch notified me after about a month of use and provides data to bring in to the doctor’s office.”

I’m guilty of eating at my desk almost every day, and once those crumbs get into your keyboard, they can be a pain to get out. That’s where this goop comes in handy. It’ll pick up dust, crumbs, the occasional staple and is at home cleaning your car as it is in your office.

This souped-up smartwatch has a titanium case and comes with different colored loop bands (depending on which option you choose). It has a larger face than standard Apple Watches and functions as a fitness tracker, GPS and more. The best upgrade for me is battery life. You’ll get up to 36 hours, 72 if you’re in low battery mode.
“Not only is this thing a beast with battery life, [but] I am finding more features that I didn’t even know it had,” a shopper marveled.

The 2023-released SE has everything you need, from trackers for your heart rate and steps to crash detection, and nothing you don’t. So if you’ve been waiting for an Apple Watch to go on sale, this deal is for you. The price is unlikely to drop any further until holiday sales begin.
“The durability is outstanding. I was a bit careless and forgot the watch in my pants when I was doing laundry,” said a forgetful fan. “Luckily, after a 40-minute wash and a 50-minute dry on high heat, the watch worked perfectly fine.”

It wasn’t long after buying my first house that I learned that the no-name drill that was the entirety of my tool set wasn’t going to cut it (of course, it wouldn’t, I would need a saw for cutting). This DeWalt set isn’t cheap, but it’s way less than buying each of these tools piecemeal (which I can assure you, will happen, because that’s what I did — don’t be like me.) Each of these tools ends up costing you less than $80 apiece in this combo, and the carrying cases, two batteries and charger will keep everything organized and powered for when you need it.

Built with dual processors and eight microphones, they create a near-silent bubble so you can fully immerse yourself in your tunes, podcasts, audiobooks or TV shows. With a lightweight, ergonomic design, these headphones offer plush comfort and a whopping 30 hours of battery life. Plus, with Adaptive Sound Control and Sony’s signature DSEE Extreme, you’ll get sound tailored to your environment and audio that’s richer than ever.
Tech-nically speaking, these Prime Day deals are mind-blowing. (Amazon)
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
