The best day of summer is, of course, when it officially begins — but the second best (two) days of summer are coming up! Official Prime Day deals are still a weekend away, but some of the best early Prime Day deals are already here. We’re talking never-before-seen prices on everything from Apple to Amazon.
From Tuesday, July 16th until Wednesday, July 17th, many products will be at near or all-time-low prices. In some cases, those deals have already begun (Amazon Devices are unbelievably discounted right now!) Don’t wait — these deals won’t last forever, and some of the best ones have already begun to return to normal prices as the discounted stock runs out.
That’s not all, either. If you’re on the hunt for more than just tech, we’ve rounded up all the best deals from across Amazon as a whole. Expect major savings on robovacs, knife sets, shoes and even fire pits.
Best Prime Day deals on headphones, earbuds and speakers

These are the lowest-priced AirPods you can buy. Not just now — ever! That’s right: These have never dropped this low before, so you can take advantage of all of their great features while paying about half of what you normally would.
These lightweight earbuds are renowned for their clear sound, deep bass and long battery life. Plus, their seamless integration and easy setup make them a top choice for Apple fans.

You don’t have to spend a small fortune on earbuds to get great audio. The Carego Wireless Earbuds are a budget-friendly alternative (especially when they’re over 60% off) that lets you get crystal-clear sound. They work with iPhone, Samsung, Android and other devices, too, so you aren’t stuck to a specific brand of gadget.
These buds are currently a match to their lowest price on record. Sure, there are other $10 earbuds on the market — but they won’t sound as good as these do. Act fast before the deal ends!

These are outstanding earbuds with surprising sound quality given their light weight — just 3.7 grams each. The on-page coupon makes this an even better deal; in fact, the price with the coupon is only about $0.80 above the all-time low price for these buds. You can expect a total of 24 hours of playback time between the buds and the case.
In fact, some fans say they’re almost on the level of AirPods, but at a significantly more affordable price. “They are an excellent, excellent alternative to AirPods. The sound is clear, the fit is good and range is excellent.”

When you want to take your jam session outside, it’s a good idea to have a speaker that can stand up to the elements. The Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker has a 24-hour battery life and is tough enough to handle splashes from the pool or a bit of rain without cutting the party short. Outside of a brief, one-day sale several months ago, this matches the lowest price of the year.
It’s also worth noting that this speaker has fewer returns than the average product. Some customers compare it to much pricier options, including a few choice picks from Beats. “I almost bought a Beats Pill but decided against it after comparing price and reviews to Anker’s portable speaker. And I decided, quite definitively, yes, Anker’s portable speaker is worth it.”

These stylish cans combine a wild 60 hours of playback time with active noise canceling features to create a quiet, focused listening experience that’s hard to beat. Right now, they’re close to an all-time low price — not quite the lowest we’ve ever seen, but only a few dollars off.
More than 55,000 people have left these headphones a five-star rating. Why? Well, as one fan puts it, “They are as good as my $300 pair from Bose.” That’s high praise, especially considering the price.

You might see people wearing Beats out in public a lot, and there’s a reason for that: these cans combine clear audio quality with a comfortable fit and long battery life. Right now, they’re marked down to 40% in advance of Prime Day — not the lowest price of the year, but still a darn good deal.
One user said that these headphones were “literally mind-blowing upgrading from AirPods Pro.” The sound quality is on another level, and though they don’t pack down to the same small size, these cans are definitely worth the purchase.

When’s the last time you misplaced something? I spent far too long looking for my wallet this morning. AirTags can take away that problem entirely, allowing you to track exactly where your items vanish to. Right now, these are available for their lowest price ever. This deal makes it about $19 per tracker.
Over 108,000 five-star shoppers have relied on these quarter-sized gizmos to keep track of their stuff. “If the AirTag is within 30 feet, your iPhone will help you locate it via an onscreen arrow. If it’s outside of that range, Apple’s Find My network kicks in,” says Broida. “Any other iPhone that comes within range of your AirTag will help you pinpoint its location. That’s incredibly powerful … and kind of mind-blowing.”

We picked the AirPods Pro as the best wireless earbuds overall and for good reason: They combine truly excellent audio quality with impressive noise-canceling. The battery life is a major plus, too. But the biggest selling point? These are at an all-time low price right now — we’ve never seen them drop to this price before.
“There’s simply no better option than Apple’s latest AirPods Pro,” says our Tech Editor Rick Broida, praising the earbuds for their ANC, battery life and “an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancelation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you.”

This iPad might be a few years old, but it offers one of the best value propositions of any tablet on the market. With this discount (which is only $20 more than the lowest price ever, by the way), you get a tablet that’s ideal for everything from working to playing, and for a bargain compared to the price of comparable tablets.
This model has been discontinued, so any you see for sale are the last of the stock. That means that once this deal goes away, it isn’t coming back. It’s one of the only chances you’ll have to pick up an iPad for less than $300.

Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins but is available at a slightly discounted rate. And to drive the point home: this is the lowest price this Mac has ever been. This deal is one of the best we’ve seen out of any Prime Day deal so far.
“Very snappy, and the specs are perfect for my heavy home office use,” one customer said. “Setup was a breeze from an iCloud backup. Have used it on multiple Zoom and Teams video meetings and the new camera and speakers work awesome for this purpose.”

Best Prime Day deals on laptops
Amazon
This is a feather-light machine that’s easy to take on the go. At 30% off, it’s one heck of a bargain — especially since it’s only $3 more than the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Since this is a Chromebook, almost all of your work will take place in the cloud. If you need to do anything on the laptop itself, we suggest an external drive. With only 32GB of memory, you won’t have a lot of space for file storage.
Multiple reviewers have said this little computer is perfect for students and younger children, and plenty of others said they use it as a home computer. Most of all, they love that it’s “inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to use.”

Want Chromebook pricing without the relative lack of functionality? This IdeaPad 1 is a great choice, especially at over 40% off (and only slightly above the lowest price we’ve ever seen). It doesn’t have a ton of storage or RAM, but if you’re looking for a laptop mainly for browsing the web, checking emails and socials and watching Netflix? This is the one for you.
Fans really like the functionality and the size: “The computer has worked flawlessly, it is a nice big size, the keyboard layout is not crowded, the touchpad and buttons are very ergonomic with a generously large touch surface.”

This midrange option sports several appealing features, which are all the more appealing given its $300 price tag. While we have seen it go lower, this is still a great deal. It’s got enough storage and RAM for basic use and, though its 128GB of storage suggests a flash drive might be a wise additional purchase, it’s still a terrific choice for a student or someone who wants a laptop for day-to-day use.
In fact, our tech editor Rick Broida named it one of the best laptops of 2024. He says, “This machine should handle most mainstream computing tasks with no trouble.” But if you want something with a lot of RAM, well, this doesn’t have that much.

If you’re in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won’t break the bank, the HP Victus is a midrange machine that can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatch, and it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once. Oh, and did we mention it’s currently the lowest price on record?
Gaming laptops are notoriously expensive (and also pretty niche), but this one strikes a fine balance between price and performance.

All-time low price alert! The Fire TV Stick is a great way to add smart functions to a “dumb” TV. It also works if you have a smart TV and you just don’t like the interface. It’s a wild 55% off right now for Prime Day.
Fans love this little doodad, too. One user said they like it so much, they have a backup for every TV. “The crisp and clear HD picture quality makes for a wonderful viewing experience. Every time I watch a live sporting event, TV show, or movie, the images are clear and colorful. My TVs now look amazing thanks to the Fire TV Stick’s improved streaming content quality.”

Everyone’s favorite baseball-sized smart assistant is back on sale for an eye-opening 50% off — bringing it just $2 shy of its all-time lowest price.
One of the most powerful Echo Dots yet, it has built-in temperature and motion sensors to set up useful routines. You can pair multiple devices together to expand the functionality across the home. Worried about privacy? An off switch makes it easy to disable the mic when you want to be sure it isn’t listening.

The brand-new Echo Spot is on sale for over 40% off. It’s also the lowest price ever, but that’s mostly because it just released. It improves on the previous Echo Spot with a large display that makes it easy to see the time, temperature and weather at a glance. The sound is better too, and there are multiple layers of privacy controls to keep your business strictly yours.
It combines all the best features of a clock, speaker, and smart assistant into one. It’s also made up of 36% recycled material, so you can make your home a bit smarter and feel good about it in the process.

If you want an Echo Show that’s small enough to fit comfortably in your kitchen or bedroom, this is an excellent choice. It acts as a digital photo frame and even features widget functionality like the Echo Show 15. It’s been marked down by over 40% for Prime Day, which means it beats its previous lowest price by $4.
According to one shopper, “It has exceeded my expectations in every way. The Spatial Audio feature provides a rich and immersive sound experience, perfect for listening to music, podcasts, and even video calls.”

Meet Amazon’s most powerful tablet ever, with 14 hours of battery life and a huge display that makes it just the ticket for everything from watching content to gaming. At nearly 40% off, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen.
In his review, our tech editor Rick Broida calls the Fire Max 11 tablet Amazon’s “first premium iPad alternative.”
