Welcome to day two of Amazon’s four-day Prime Day event, which, if we’re being honest, looks a lot like day one. That’s actually good news, though, because many of the best deals are still around, and some new ones have joined them. If you’ve got a Prime subscription, whether through a free trial or a discounted student membership, you’ll find our favorite deals below.

Not every Prime Day deal deserves your attention, so we’ve filled this guide with products we know and genuinely like. Our team has spent years living with, testing, and comparing everything from robot vacuums and TVs to headphones and smart home gadgets, and the deals below are the ones we can confidently vouch for. We’ve also sprinkled in matching prices from retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target whenever we find them, so you don’t necessarily need a Prime membership to save.

If you’re shopping for something specific, we’ve got dedicated roundups covering Apple gear, budget-friendly picks, smart home devices, TVs, and much more. We’ll also be updating this guide throughout the day as new deals pop up and old ones disappear, so check back occasionally.


Laptop deals

  • The days of multi-hundred-dollar discounts on MacBooks are behind us for now, but the base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip for $1,549 ($150 off) at Amazon and Best Buy is still a solid deal. It’s powerful enough for the average content creator, comes with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and has lots of ports. Read our review.

Apple MacBook Air (M5)

Apple’s 2026 MacBook Air has an M5 chip and starts with 512GB of storage that’s significantly faster than previous generations. It’s still as excellent as ever despite a higher base price. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • Moft has a variety of deals on its origami-style cases and stands. You can get its folding 2-in-1 Laptop Carry Sleeve, a sleek laptop case that doubles as a portable stand, for $51.96 ($13 off) at Amazon in four sizes and up to 11 different colors. Or, if you don’t mind some adhesive, the Moft Laptop Stand in select colors is $19.99 ($5 off) at Amazon. The super thin attachment sticks to the bottom of your laptop to give you a fold-out stand anywhere you go.

2025 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14

Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. There’s a new Intel model that’s much pricier, but the 2025 version with AMD chips is still a great choice.

Where to Buy:

E-reader deals

  • The tiny, charming 4.3-inch Xteink X4 e-reader that can magnetically snap onto surfaces, even to the back of MagSafe-ready phones, is down to $55.20 at Amazon (originally $69). Read our review.

Kindle Paperwhite (12th-gen)

Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite — aka our favorite ebook reader — is waterproof, has a seven-inch display, and lasts weeks per charge. Read our review.
The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite.

Where to Buy:

  • Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (its moniker for the 32GB version that supports wireless charging and has an auto-adjusting front light) is down to its best-ever price when purchased as a bundle. The “Essentials Bundle” that includes the e-reader, a leather cover, and a wireless charging dock is $257.97 at Amazon. Its normal price was previously around $354. The 16GB version that lacks the Signature features but includes the leather cover is $182.97 at Amazon. Read our review.
  • The other color e-reader that Amazon sells, the Scribe Colorsoft, is available in a bundle that’s steeply discounted. The 32GB model that includes a pen, leather folio, and a power adapter is $549.97 at Amazon, down from its usual sale price of $729.97. It’s a fantastic deal considering just the tablet and pen typically sell for $629.99 and hasn’t previously been discounted. Read our review.

Kindle (11th-gen)

 Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle retains a six-inch, 300ppi display and USB-C charger. It’s brighter and slightly faster than its predecessor, though, and features longer battery life.

Headphone and earbud deals

Sony WH-1000XM6

Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5. Read our initial impressions.

Where to Buy:

  • Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are selling for $198 at Amazon, which is the retailer’s best price yet. The set debuted for $399.99 and only really started dropping in price when its successor was released. While the XM6 gets the edge in terms of sound quality, comfort, and for having a foldable design, the XM5 are still fantastic — arguably the best over-ear headphones you can get at this price.

AirPods Max 2

We haven’t previously seen this set of over-ear headphones sell below $479, so this price drop is staggering.

Where to Buy:

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

The second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation currently available in a pair of true wireless earbuds. They’re a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones are selling for $379, one of their best prices yet, at Amazon. Originally $449, the noise-canceling headphones boast improved battery life with ANC switched on (up to 30 hours per charge), plus the ability to play lossless audio via their USB-C port, just like the AirPods Max 2.

Pixel Buds 2a

Google’s latest pair of wireless earbuds feature crisp sound quality, a comfortable design, and solid active noise cancellation, which is great considering the budget-friendly price tag. They even offer built-in support for Gemini and, unlike the entry-level AirPods, a purple option! Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The original Pixel Buds A are still around and kicking, and still a fine deal if you just want the basics. They’re on sale for just $49 ($50 off) at Amazon. Read our review.
  • JBL might not be the first brand you associate with great over-ear noise-canceling headphones, but its Tour One M3 Smart Tx are a sleeper hit that’s currently down to its best price yet at Amazon. You can grab them for $249.95, which is $200 off their original price. They’re comfortable, and they sound great. But what sets them apart from competitors is the Auracast-compatible audio transmitter that lets the headphones connect to (and share) audio with other Auracast devices.

AirPods Pro 3

The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Nothing Ear (a)

Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.

Where to Buy:

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

The OpenRun Pro 2 are Shokz’s best bone conduction headphones yet, with better sound and more bass than their predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus

The OpenFit 2 Plus are nearly identical to the OpenFit 2 we tested in 2025. The wireless earbuds feature the same open-style design, a set of onboard controls, and dedicated bass speakers, but they also support wireless charging and Dolby Audio.

Where to Buy:

Charger and battery deals

Anker Laptop Power Bank

Anker’s aptly titled Laptop Power Bank is a lifesaver for anyone who works or studies on the go. With an impressive 25,000mAh capacity and a total output of 165W, it can quickly charge a beefy MacBook Pro to 50 percent capacity in under 30 minutes. Plus, with three USB-C ports and a USB-A port, you can power multiple devices at once, including phones, tablets, and handheld consoles.

Where to Buy:

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand with Qi2 15W

Belkin’s triple charging stand achieves 15W MagSafe wireless iPhone charging speeds and keeps your phone and Apple Watch elevated for easy reading.

Where to Buy:

Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2

The case also features a small pocket to stow an AirTag (or other similarly sized Bluetooth tracker).

Smartwatch and wearable deals

  • The Apple Watch Series 11 has dropped to $279 in the 42mm GPS configuration (originally $399) at Amazon, which is $20 lower than it has previously sold for. $299 has been the normal sale price for the past few months, but those patiently waiting for another price drop have been rewarded. If you want the larger 46mm GPS model, that’s down to $309 at Amazon, which is another new low. Given it’s the latest model, it will support watchOS 27 as well as at least a few major software updates to come. Read our review.

Apple Watch SE 3

The Apple Watch SE 3 offers some big upgrades over its predecessor, including an always-on display, allowing you to glance at the time or unread notifications. It also has Apple’s powerful S10 chip, which enables on-device Siri requests. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • You can buy the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an Ocean Band, Trail Loop strap, and Alpine Loop strap for $649 ($150 off) at Amazon, which is a new low price. The Ultra 3 is Apple’s most rugged and feature-packed smartwatch, making it a great choice for athletes and outdoorsy folks. It delivers up to 42 hours of battery life — six hours more than its predecessor — and features a larger wide-angle OLED display with a refresh rate that goes down to just 1Hz for battery savings, plus slimmer bezels. It also supports both satellite connectivity and 5G. Read our review.
  • Google’s Pixel Watch 4 has gotten discounts in both 41mm and 45mm sizes, whether you want the basic Wi-Fi/GPS feature offering, or you want to upgrade to the model that supports LTE. Originally $349.99, the 41mm GPS model is $289.99 at Amazon, while the 45mm version is $319.99. The LTE versions are $334.99 ($115 off) and $399.99 ($100 off). The Pixel Watch 4 is the best smartwatch for Android users (perhaps until the leaked Pixel Watch 5 launches), particularly for those who use a Pixel phone. Read our review.

Fitbit Ace LTE

The Ace LTE sports some of the same hardware found on the Google Pixel Watch 2 and a variety of step-activated games, which can help motivate your child to keep moving. It also offers calling, messaging, and location sharing when you sign up for a monthly or annual data plan. Read our hands-on impressions.

Where to Buy:

  • For Android smartwatch options that costs less, and are really only useful for Samsung phone owners, the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic are discounted to $237.99 and $349.99, respectively. These are savings of $100 at minimum. Read our review.

Oura Ring 4

The Oura Ring 4 is slimmer and more accurate than its predecessor (though the newer Oura Ring 5 is even smaller), with AI-powered tools and longer battery life. Read our review.

Phone deals

Google Pixel 10A

Google’s new Pixel 10A introduces faster wired charging, Satellite SOS, and new AI tools like Camera Coach and Auto Best Take. Otherwise, it’s basically the Pixel 9A, with the same Tensor G4 chip and a dual-camera system. Read our hands-on impressions.

Where to Buy:

Google Pixel 10 Pro

The Pixel 10 Pro has a 6.3-inch OLED display, Google’s Tensor G5 processor, 16GB of RAM, Pixelsnap wireless charging at 15W, support for Wi-Fi 7, and an Ultra-Wideband chip.

Where to Buy:

  • The Nothing 4A Pro is down to $509.99 at Amazon, a hearty discount from its original $599 price. It’s the biggest, most high-end phone you can get for around this price, if you don’t want to settle for the Pixel 10A. Its 6.83-inch screen has a 144Hz refresh rate, but really what sets this one apart is its unique design. The Glyph Matrix display on its rear that can show the time or show an icon to alert you of notifications.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

Samsung’s 6.9-inch S26 Ultra is the only model in the lineup with the new privacy display, designed to limit what people around you can see on your screen. It also includes the S Pen and upgrades the camera hardware, adding dual telephoto lenses alongside a 200-megapixel main sensor. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Google Pixel Pro 10 Fold

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a 6.4-inch outer screen and eight-inch inner screen. The new foldable has Google’s Tensor G5 processor, 16GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7 support, Pixelsnap wireless charging at 15W, and an IP68 rating.

Gaming deals

Nex Playground

The Nex Playground is a motion-controlled console that connects to your TV and uses a built-in camera and AI to track your movements as you play. Designed for ages five and up, it comes with games like Fruit Ninja and Whack-a-Mole Deluxe. You can download more games, including titles featuring popular characters like Elmo, with a paid Play Pass subscription.

Where to Buy:

  • OLED gaming monitors that offer super-fast refresh rates are cheaper than usual during Prime Day, and several of them are from Asus. The company’s Strix XG27ACDNG 26.5-inch 1440p QD-OLED with a 360Hz refresh rate is down to $534 at Amazon. Its previous best price was $599.99, and it didn’t come around often. The next step up is the Swift PG27AQDP WOLED 1440p monitor with 480Hz refresh rate. It costs $664 during Prime Day at Amazon, down from around $800. Finally, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM, a 4K QD-OLED with a 240Hz refresh rate, is $934 at Amazon — its best price yet that’s $265 off its original price.

PlayStation Pulse Explore

The Pulse Explore are PlayStation-branded wireless earbuds from Sony that deliver low latency, lossless audio. They’re compatible with the PlayStation Portal as well as the PlayStation 5, PC, and macOS via the included PlayStation Link USB adapter. Read our hands-on impressions.

Where to Buy:

Meta Quest 3S

If you bought a Meta Quest 2, you’re a prime candidate for the Quest 3S. It’s a faster, more comfortable VR headset that runs the same chipset as the pricier Quest 3. While its screen resolution hasn’t improved, nearly everything else about the hardware has. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition

The Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the same technical enhancements as Breath of the Wild, but they’re more welcome here because the game struggled to run a bit on the original Switch. The game is set in the same environment as its predecessor, but Hyrule is more dense, so there’s even more to explore. Your physics-based powers help a lot with traversal. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for the Nintendo Switch 2 is down to $44.99 in physical cartridge format at Amazon, down from $69.99. It’s the biggest deal we’ve seen yet for the Switch 2 version of the game. Previously, we’d seen $40 deals for the original Switch version, but to unlock faster loading and better graphics, Switch 2 owners would have to pay $10 for the upgrade pack.

Resident Evil Requiem

The latest entry in the long-running survival horror series, with two different styles of gameplay via its dual protagonists. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta is a ground-up remake of the 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3. It features completely revamped visuals and modern controls, so moving Snake through the jungle feels just as smooth as it did in 2015’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It retains the original plot and performances, along with various cutscenes, levels, and other gameplay elements. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Gigabyte 27-inch 1440p W-OLED gaming monitor

It’s fairly common to find semi-affordable QD-OLED gaming monitors, but W-OLEDs are slightly more rare in the sub-$500 range. The MO27Q28GR features a 280Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, built-in KVM, HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C connectivity, and more.

Where to Buy:

Acer Predator 26.5-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor

The X27U is a lot of monitor for the price, packing a 240Hz refresh rate QD-OLED panel, a versatile stand, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, plus two HDMI 2.1 ports for console and PC.

Where to Buy:

Robot vacuum and mop deals

Roborock Saros 20

Roborock’s Saros 20 stands out for its ability to climb tall thresholds, avoid obstacles with impressive accuracy, and clean under low furniture thanks to its slim design. It also combines powerful 36,000Pa suction with great spinning mop pads, which is why we recommend it for homes with multiple floor types and tricky transitions between rooms.

Where to Buy:

Eufy Omni C28

The Eufy Omni C28 combines excellent mopping performance with a small self-cleaning dock that’s well suited for apartments and other smaller spaces. It navigates around furniture and into tight areas with ease, while its roller mop does a great job cleaning hard floors.

Where to Buy:

  • The Roborock Q10 S5 Plus is down to $264.99 ($285 off) at Amazon, which matches its lowest price to date. The Q10 S5 Plus is one of our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum / mop hybrids, combining good AI-powered obstacle avoidance with automatic carpet detection. It also features a vibrating mop that does a solid job scrubbing hard floors while lifting itself over rugs, and the set includes a self-emptying dock for added convenience. It can’t match the suction power or tall threshold-climbing abilities of pricier models like the Saros 20, but this is a good value under $300.

Narwal Flow 2

Our pick for the best robot vacuum-mop if you have all hardwood floors is the Narwal Flow 2. A superb mop with a wide flat roller pad and an excellent vacuum, the Flow 2 also has top-notch navigation and obstacle detection. Its sleek base station is also less of an eyesore than most.

Where to Buy:

  • Dreame’s X60 Max Ultra is on sale for $1,344.99 ($355 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date. We highly recommend the Dreame X60 Ultra for homes with lots of carpet, as it combines powerful 35,000Pa suction with dual rubber brushes that excel at lifting hair and debris. It can also climb over tall thresholds and thick rugs with ease, while its spinning mop pads do a good job on hard floors and automatically detach when vacuuming carpet. Other highlights include quiet mop washing and drying along with a slim design that can fit under low furniture.
  • Dreame’s L40 Ultra Gen 2 is on sale for $384.99 ($265 off) at Amazon and $399.99 directly from Dreame. It delivers powerful 25,000Pa suction, AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and a self-cleaning dock that empties the dustbin, washes the mop, and refills its water tanks. Unlike the X50 Ultra, however, it lacks the ability to climb high thresholds or stairs.

Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone

Ecovacs’ latest flagship robot vacuum and mop can pretreat stains, keep carpets dry with a smart mop cover, and deliver powerful 22,000Pa suction. It also comes with an all-in-one dock that automatically empties the dustbin, washes the mop with heated, pressurized water, and refills its water tanks.

Where to Buy:

  • You can buy the SwitchBot K11 Plus on sale for around $189.99 ($210 off) at Amazon and directly from SwitchBot with code PDDAY53, which is $10 more than its best price. It’s a tiny bot with an equally small self-emptying dock, making it a great fit for smaller spaces. Its suction power tops out at 6,000Pa, but it’s still an effective cleaning machine with a rubber roller brush and a single side brush that does a solid job picking up dirt, dust, and debris from both hard floors and carpets.

Dyson PencilWash

This is the lowest price yet for the powered wet mop that’s a cousin to the silly-sounding-but-awesome Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones vacuum.

Where to Buy:

4K TV and monitor deals

LG C5 OLED TV

LG’s midrange C5 TV is an excellent way to get OLED performance without paying top dollar. It has a good amount of brightness, excellent color accuracy out of the box, and great gaming features, including a max 144Hz refresh rate.

Where to Buy:

  • 55 inches is a good size for TVs, and getting one as good as the TCL QM6K for only $447.99 ($50 off) at Amazon is worth it. It’s particularly good for someone looking for a lower-priced gaming TV, as it supports high refresh rates up to 4K/144Hz with a PC (or 1080p at 288Hz) with VRR and has low input lag. It’s not the light cannon that more expensive TCL TVs are, but in a light-controlled room there’s enough brightness for watching or playing anything.

Samsung S90F

Samsung’s S90F is a premium OLED TV with a 120Hz panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and access to game streaming services like Nvidia’s GeForce Now via Samsung’s Gaming Hub.

Where to Buy:

  • The 32-inch Asus ProArt 6K display is $999.99 at Amazon during Prime Day, down from its original list price of $1,299. The IPS monitor can display up to 6,016 x 3,384 resolution, and it covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut and 100 percent of the sRGB gamut. It features HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports that can deliver up to 96W of power for laptops and be used to daisychain with other monitors.

TCL QM8K Series QD-Mini LED TV

The QM8K delivers TCL’s best performance for the price in its 2025 TV lineup, and it still competes with 2026 TVs.

Where to Buy:

  • A smaller 27-inch 5K ProArt display from Asus is down to $634 at Amazon (usually priced around $780), marking its best price yet. The PA27JCV seems like a solid alternative if Apple’s Studio Display or other options are a little too pricey. The ProArt monitor features a built-in KVM switch, HDR support, and a bevy of connectivity options, including HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C (with up to 96W charging).
  • Dell makes a 27-inch 4K monitor with USB-C video-out, and it’s selling for just $251.72 (originally $349.99) at Amazon. Beyond being a good pick for easy connectivity with a Mac, or a Windows machine that supports USB-C video, the display has solid specs, like a 120Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync to prevent screen tearing, and USB-C charging up to 65W PD. A 1440p version with similar specs (but a faster 144Hz refresh rate) is just $199.99.

Home theater deals

  • The WiiM Sound smart speaker (in black or white) that has a built-in circular display and supports multi-room pairing is down to $239.20 at Crutchfield from $299. The HomePod-esque speaker uses AI to adjust sound to fit your room, and it’s platform-agnostic, so it can work with practically any streaming service.

Sonos Five

As the flagship desk speaker in Sonos’ lineup, the Sonos Five provides superb sound quality that outperforms any other smart speaker in its price range. It also has an auxiliary input for playing other audio sources (like a turntable) through your Sonos system.

Where to Buy:

  • Hisense’s Dolby Atmos-ready 5.1.4 soundbar system is discounted during Prime Day. The AX5140Q costs $329.99 at Amazon, which is $70 off its original price. The 40-inch soundbar includes forward- and upward-firing speakers, a wireless subwoofer, plus two wireless satellite speakers that have their own forward- and upward-firing drivers. I wish I had gotten this set instead of the Vizio Elevate SE — it’s good, but this seems a lot better for the price. The soundbar features multiple ways to connect devices, including aux-in, optical-in, plus two HDMI inputs, one of which supports eARC.

Sonos Era 100

Sonos’ Era 100 smart speaker is a replacement for the older Sonos One, utilizing two tweeters (left and right) and one larger woofer. In addition to Wi-Fi, the Era 100 supports Bluetooth audio and line-in playback via an optional adapter.
