This luxurious gaming headset is a great pick for daily gamers who want excellent sound quality and high-end comfort. They have big drivers that make sounds in-game pop, and an excellent mic with noise-canceling so good your friends won’t even know you have a dog. They’re super comfortable, with the SteelSeries signature ski-goggle strap to take the pressure off your head.
While they’re built for gaming, they also sound great listening to music or watching movies. They have a nice, punchy sound profile and spatial audio support for a more immersive experience. If you’re on a PC, the SteelSeries GG software gives you a ton of options for balancing your audio across multiple sources, and you can even set individual EQ profiles for different applications.
By including a USB DAC for wireless connectivity, the Arctis Nova Pro can achieve some unique and compelling features not found on other headsets. The range is impressive, thanks to more room for the antenna and power than you’d find in a smaller USB dongle. You can adjust the volume and audio mix from a generous knob on the front, and it has multiple audio inputs for switching between consoles.
Best of all, the hub can charge a spare battery for the headset, giving you essentially infinite run time as long as you’re seated at the computer. When you run down the 25 or so hours on one charge, just swap out the battery and the headset will reconnect and pick up where you left off. It’s the perfect feature for anyone with battery concerns, but don’t worry, you can also charge the headset via USB-C directly.
If you’re looking for a new single-cup coffee maker, but only have limited counter space, you’re in luck. The Keurig K-Mini, our favorite pod coffee maker for small spaces, is marked down to just $70 on Amazon in several colors. That’s a healthy $30 discount on your morning cup of brew, as long as you aren’t too picky about the particulars, or just want an afternoon lift in your home office without getting out of your chair.

While larger coffee makers might offer more features, like timers or warm carafe plates, the Keurig K-Mini focuses on squeezing into the smallest spots in the tiniest kitchens or break rooms. It’s just over 12 inches tall, and under five inches wide, making it one of the most compact powered options for making coffee of any sort. It’s only undercut by tiny manual coffee makers like a pour-over or Aeropress, but if you don’t feel like grinding beans and boiling water, the K-Mini is an all-in-one alternative.
Beyond its exceptionally compact footprint, the Keurig K-Mini is also super simple and straightforward to use. The tank holds just enough water to brew one cup of coffee to tea, so it’s easy to just fill it with your mug, plop in a pod, and hit the button. There are no extra settings or filters to deal with, which is perfect if you just need caffeine, and don’t want anything standing between you and that first sip.
While the K-Mini is available in a variety of colors, I was able to find the $30 discount on Black, Oasis, and Evergreen. They have a bit more pop than a lot of other coffee makers, and should cover most common kitchen color schemes. It’s a great option for occasional coffee drinkers, or a sneaky second cup in your home office, but if you have a little more space, make sure to check out our full guide to pod-based coffee makers. If your mornings need multiple mugs, or a full pot, make sure to swing by our favorite traditional coffee makers, or even consider upgrading to an espresso machine.
If you want to step up your photography game, and graduate from your phone, why not go all the way to the highest-resolution camera on the market? Normally, we suggest that a more affordable camera might be the best pick for most people in our guide to mirrorless cameras, but at this price—why not go big?

The massive 61-megapixel, full-frame sensor in the A7R V is the largest sensor you can get without jumping into medium format (which is significantly more expensive and bulkier). If that’s not enough, there’s actually an even higher-resolution possibility that combines 16 shots into a single 240-MP image (so long as your subject is static, e.g., a landscape). That should print billboard-size without issue.
Yes, the megapixel race is silly and mostly over, but I will say that I’ve shot quite a bit with the A7R C (which uses the same sensor). The images from this 60-MP sensor are noticeable sharper, and the dynamic range is visibly better than what I get from the A7R II (which has a 40-MP sensor). This is obviously the case onscreen, when pixel peeping, but I also notice the difference when I print images.
If you don’t need all those megapixels, and you still want to save some money, I have good news, our top pick for most people, the Sony A7 IV (9/10, WIRED Recommends), is on sale as well for $700 less than usual.

This is a 33-megapixel, full-frame camera that, while only half the resolution of the A7R V, is plenty sharp and boasts a few video-oriented features you won’t find in the higher-resolution model. It has very nearly the same excellent dynamic range and one of the best autofocus system on the market.
Without getting too deep in the weeds of video technicalities, the A7 IV can record 4K/30p video by oversampling from a 7K sensor region. On the other hand, the A7R V employs what’s known as line-skipping to achieve the same 4K/30p recording. This method of recording results in reduced sharpness and sometimes causes aliasing issues.
The short story: If you want to record video at full sensor size, the A7 IV is the way to go. In fact, while there are better still cameras like the Sony A7R V, and better video cameras, nothing combines the two quite as well as the A7 IV. If you’re looking to do a mix of still and video work, this is one of the best buys on the market, especially at this price.
Looking for a Bluetooth speaker that’s rugged and ready for anything? The JBL Clip 5, named for its built-in latching hook, is currently marked down to just $60 at Amazon and Walmart in a variety of colors and finishes. That’s a healthy 25 percent discount and makes this compact Bluetooth speaker an appealing option for anyone who loves a little adventure.

While the attached clip is the big draw, this little speaker packs a surprisingly big sound profile. In his write-up, our reviewer Ryan Waniata says it has a “fuller bass and midrange frequencies than expected.” That’s good news for anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on sound quality just because they’re hanging off the side of a rock wall or floating down a river. Better yet, you can use the JBL Portable app to adjust the profile to fit your favorite genre.
Importantly, this little speaker is also IP67 certified, which is a pretty serious dust and water ingress rating. The 6 means it’s totally dust-proof, so you can throw it around on the beach without worry of sand getting into the important bits, and the 7 means it can be fully immersed in water without causing any damage. Our reviewer even tested it in the shower with no issues, and clipped it to his belt while doing yard work, and the JBL never missed a beat.
Battery life in a device this small can’t keep up with the larger Bluetooth speakers, but it still manages almost 12 hours on a single charge, or up to 15 with Playtime Boost, an app-enabled feature that boosts both volume and battery life. If you want to pick up multiple, you can pair two of them together to form a stereo pair, for the perfect music setup, even in the middle of nowhere.
If the JBL Clip 5 doesn’t sound like your speed, you can always check out some of our other favorite Bluetooth speakers, but this speaker does offer something unique for adventurous and outdoorsy folks. At its full price of $80, it feels a little on the expensive side, but a $20 discount makes it much more appealing.
As the winter months creep up on us, you may be looking for a new tumbler or travel mug to keep your coffee hot all day. You could certainly peruse our list of the best travel mugs, which is packed with fancy double-walled, vacuum-insulated options, but if you constantly have icy hands, you might consider scooping up the Ember Travel Mug 2+, which has an actual heater inside. It’s currently marked down by $40 at Best Buy, bringing the price down to just $160. While I did spot the reduced price at Amazon as well, at publication time the shipping date was a range of November 9-30.

While spending over $100 on a travel mug might feel like a stretch, the Ember lineup have internal warmers that keep your coffee or tea hot for hours on end. Unlike the popular home versions, the Travel Mug 2+ is a fully enclosed waterproof tumbler, so it’s perfect for taking on the road, or to your favorite outdoor activities. It has a great seal, which held up without dripping even when dropped into a crowded duffel bag.
With just the internal battery, our tester Pete Cottell managed to get over two hours of heat, which should keep a 16-ounce coffee at a toasty 135 degrees Fahrenheit for at least your morning commute. If you routinely drive even longer distances, there’s a separately sold car charger that will use the built-in 12V port to keep your liquids heated for as long as you’re stuck in the driver’s seat.
If you find yourself regularly losing your existing tumbler, and are worried about losing this more expensive version, the built-in Apple Find My support should give you some peace of mind. Not only can it help you find it when you’re craving a sip, but it can also let you know if you’ve left it behind, as long as you’re on an Apple device.
Overall the Ember Travel Mug 2+ offers a lot for its high price tag, and should appeal to daily coffee and tea drinkers, particularly those who regularly find themselves shivering during the winter. If that sounds like you, make sure to check out our gift guide specifically for people who get too cold and need to be warmed up.

Skullcandy has cracked the code on one of my most-requested features for wireless earbuds. Unlike almost every other pair I’ve owned, dropping the charging case won’t send the earbuds flying across the room. For my fellow clumsy humans, I’m happy to report that the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC (8/10, WIRED Review) are marked down at several retailers. I found the best price on the white (Bone) pair at Amazon, but some of the other colors are discounted too if you don’t mind paying a little extra.

While the enclosed case is my favorite thing about these earbuds, they also have excellent active noise-canceling. That’s largely thanks to a collaboration with Bose, one of the best in the business when it comes to ANC, giving these a truly impressive level of sound isolation and noise reduction, particularly for the price.
The sound profile has clearly taken some notes from Bose as well, with our reviewer Parker Hall saying, “There is a real life to this listening experience in the midrange, with vocals, pianos, guitars, and other center-heavy instruments each occupying their own musical space.” He was also impressed by the wide stereo image, which can give a lot of life to panning, and the intricate details that stand out when you have good isolation and tuning.
Of course, if you want to tweak the experience you can use the mobile app to adjust button functionality or change the equalizer profile for your preferred music genre. There are noise-canceling and transparency mode settings as well, the latter of which works particularly well for hearing traffic while walking the dog.
The downside here is that the whole setup is slightly bulky. The earbuds have a sizable back-end that sits flush inside your ear, making them a bit more noticeable than some of the other earbuds we like. The case, while great for keeping your earbuds in one place when you knock it off the kitchen counter, is also on the large side and a little awkward to use at first. Still, for under $100, you get excellent ANC, quality sound profile, and a comfortable fit, which I think is well worth the price of admission.
Fall is for nesting—and for feathering your nest with whatever will keep you sane during the winter. Which is why a number of retailers, including The Home Depot, drop prices on home goods with big fall deals.
The Home Depot fall savings event for 2025 is unusually broad, because The Home Depot itself is unusually broad—the store that first brought the home improvement superstore nationwide. This fall, The Home Depot sports discounts of 15 to 50 percent on home decor, mattresses, cookware, bed and bath, Milwaukee power tools, and the old football season staple: the mini-fridge.
The Home Depot Fall Mattress, Bedding, and Linen Deals
The Home Depot is offering some of its steepest price cuts on bedding and bathroom linens, as the thread count on sheets (which kinda doesn’t matter) becomes a sudden concern amid chilling temps. This includes the following:
WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson swears by century-old tool brand Milwaukee Tool, which rarely shows up on sale, as a smart investment across your tool set.
“The smart way to buy battery-powered tools is to invest in a single brand,” Gilbertson writes. “Most of the expense is in the batteries, and batteries are not interchangeable between tool brands (technically, there are adapters, but I’ve had bad experiences with them and do not recommend them). Many years ago, surveying the market at the time, I landed on Milwaukee, which so far as I could tell had the leading battery tech at the time, and good tools to boot. Since then I’ve purchased and used dozens of their tools, from impact guns to circular saws to specialty tools like a drywall screw gun.”
The QuietComfort Ultra sit right near the top of our list of the best noise-canceling headphones, and for good reason. They sound great, with top-tier clarity and detail, and our reviewer Ryan Waniata was particularly impressed by the “fabulous instrumental separation” and the “wide and spacious soundstage.” The bass is a little boomy out of the box, but a quick tweak of the EQ can smooth that right out, and even if you prefer the big bass, it’s still clear and punchy. They sound just as good during phone calls, in case you really need to focus in while working or chatting.
The noise-canceling is the star here, and there are really only two companies that compete for the crown, Bose and Sony. Each company has flagship headsets that do a stellar job of keeping out plane engine noises, crying babies, and your chatty seat neighbor, with performance so close we have a dedicated guide comparing the two. There’s also a great transparency mode for when you need to stay a little more alert, but want to keep the music going.
There are some other features that we’re less enthusiastic about, like a spatial audio mode that tries to “spatialize” existing stereo tracks, which is a neat trick for some songs, but less so for more produced music or watching videos. There’s optional head-tracking as well that tries to keep sound coming from the same places as you turn around. They’re both a little gimmicky and don’t help with the QuietComfort Ultra’s already-middling 24 hours of battery life.
Even though Bose recently updated these extremely popular headphones, the newer version isn’t massively different from these. That means these are still a great deal, and one of our favorite noise-canceling headsets, despite being on the market for a few years. Its price compared to some of its biggest competitors was a downside, so the $100 discount makes a big difference if that was a deciding factor.
The investment will help fuel the New York City-based company’s continued buildout, namely helping finance growth in its $1.2 billion dairy processing plant in Rome, New York, along with its $500 million expansion plans for its plant in Twin Falls, Idaho. The Rome plant is expected to spur 1,000 new jobs, while the Twin Falls expansion is expected to tack on about 160 new ones.
“This investment means more than just capital — it’s a testament to everything we’ve built,” Hamdi Ulukaya, Chobani’s founder and CEO, told DealBook, which noted that Chobani is on track to clinch $3.8 billion worth of sales this year, up 28 percent compared with last year.
The capital is a notable milestone for the New York City-based company that first opened its doors in 2005, after Ulukaya took out an $800,000 loan from the Small Business Administration. He used the capital to buy an old Kraft factory, which he then fashioned into what would become the company’s first plant dedicated to churning out a thick Greek yogurt packed with protein. Within three years, Chobani became the top yogurt seller in the U.S.
And it’s grown even more since then, now offering creamers and milks—dairy and otherwise—beyond just Greek yogurt. Along the way, Chobani has gone on an acquisition spree as well. It picked up popular coffee maker La Colombe for $900 million in December 2023 and Daily Harvest, well-known for its plant-based frozen smoothies, for an undisclosed amount in May.
Representatives for Chobani did not immediately respond to Inc.’s request for comment.
The Amiron 300 have a classic Beyerdynamic sound profile, which is delightfully rich and smooth, with a mostly neutral base that has good definition at the far ends of the spectrum. Reviewer Parker Hall was particularly impressed with the vocal quality, which he called “clear and dynamic” and didn’t get “overwhelmed by such a well-defined low end.” These are particularly good for jazz and vocal-heavy acoustic music, but anyone with good ears will be impressed with the performance.
They also come with five sizes of ear tips, so most people shouldn have no trouble finding some that are a good fit, which also helps provide excellent sound isolation. That helps make up for the fact that the active noise canceling isn’t quite as sharp as it is on earbuds from the likes of Sony or Bose. They do have excellent pass-through audio, though, which could trick you into thinking there isn’t any noise canceling on at all.
There’s a mobile app that’s non-intrusive and useful, letting you change the functions of the buttons on the outside. As someone who constantly skips tracks by accident when pulling my hood up, I can appreciate the ability to tweak these settings. There are a variety of other options too, including an EQ to adjust, and a low latency mode if you want to use them to catch up on your favorite shows while riding the bus to work.
Overall, these make for a nice upgrade from more budget-friendly true wireless earbuds, particularly for those with discerning ears and a penchant for vocal music or podcasts. Their understated design and great compatibility help round out an otherwise appealing package, and the lower price helps seal the deal. If you’re still not sold, make sure to check out our full roundup of true wireless earbuds for all of our top picks.
If you’re tired of staring a tiny laptop screen while working from home, consider scooping up our favorite desktop monitor for almost 25 percent off its normal price. The Dell 27 Plus 4K (8/10, WIRED Reivew) is currently marked down to just $228 on Amazon, the lowest we’ve seen yet for this smart and practical 4K screen.

Dell
27 Plus 4K Monitor (S2725QS)
You might be worried about poor panel quality or scarce features, considering the price point, but the Dell S2725QS is surprisingly well equipped for under $300. It has an IPS panel, which is one of the better non-OLED options, with thin bezels and a minimal stand that will fit right into any desk setup. It has 100 percent sRGB coverage, and 79 percent AdobeRGB, with good color accuracy to match, making it a nice choice for light creative work as well.
It also has a 120-Hz refresh rate, so while you may want to consider a dedicated screen for gaming, you can certainly jam some weekend Fortnite rounds. AMD FreeSync Premium will help keep things smooth, since reaching frame rates that high will be tough for most systems. You might find that even scrolling the web is much better with a higher refresh rate, though. I know I have trouble going back to 60 Hz.
Although it’s a little short on ports, lacking any USB in particular, it is VESA compatible if you want to mount it or put it on a stand. It has internal speakers too, and our reviewer, Luke Larsen, was impressed with how they stack up against most built-in monitor speakers. That’s not too tough considering they can often be thin and tinny, but it’s a nice benefit for anyone lacking the desk space for a nicer, dedicated option.
Overall, the Dell 27 Plus 4K is an excellent value, which makes it easy to overlook some of the smaller inconveniences. If you want to spend more for something nicer, make sure to check out the full roundup of our favorite desktop monitors, but most people just looking for a second screen for their work laptop will be exceedingly happy with this Dell.
While most gamers opt for over-ear headsets, there are actually quite a few advantages to using earbuds instead. For starters, they’re much more portable, which is particularly important if you play on your phone or a gaming handheld. My favorite Switch 2 carrying case has a convenient storage pocket inside that these slip right into, so I don’t have to go hunting for them in the overhead compartment once I’m already buckled in for a long flight.
They also have great compatibility, with the discounted versions supporting either Xbox or PlayStation, and both styles playing well with Switch, PC, and smartphones without any additional software or drivers. The compact USB-C dongle fits right into the case, and has a horizontal layout that lets it sit cleanly on top of consoles or phones, providing low-latency 2.4GHz audio, as well as BLuetooth for just listening to tunes. Battery life is right up there with other wireless earbuds, managing around 10 hours in just the buds, and pushing 40 total with the charging case.
I also really appreciate the SteelSeries mobile app. In addition to the normal settings you’d expect for active noise-canceling, there’s a huge library of equalizer settings for popular games. You’d be surprised at how much of a difference these make, letting you switch between ideal setups for different games without having to set up any profiles or remember frequencies.
They’re really comfortable too, so much so that they’ve become my go-to earbuds for walking the dog or working out. They have a great fit and sound isolation, and even though it’s personal preference, but the use of actual buttons instead of capacitive touch for controls makes bumping pause less likely.
If gaming earbuds don’t sound like your speed, make sure to check out our roundup of other great gaming headsets. You might be surprised by how well modern earbuds can work for both gaming and regular life though, so don’t be afraid to give these a shot, particularly at the discounted price.
There’s a lot to like about the Motorola Razr Ultra beyond its compact and unique design. This model Razr is available in a variety of colors, but at least on my end, the discount is available on the Pantone colors Scarab and Rio Red. They’re both immediately striking and elegant, setting them apart from the deep blacks and space grays you’re likely to find on other smartphones.
Our reviewer Julian Chokkattu was quite happy with the performance improvements to this generation of Razr flip phones. The screen has also been improved from previous generations, with a smoother crease in the middle that’s harder to spot, although you can still feel it during use. It’s a big 7-inch AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, which is great for both regular use and gaming.
Of course, the big draw here is the exterior screen, and Motorola has been rolling out new widgets and compatible apps for the smaller display. You can quickly check the weather, control your music, or interact with a variety of functions, as well as taking selfies with the exterior camera. These features are all totally unique to smartphones that flip in the same way, most of which are a lot more expensive.
The Razr does have a raft of new AI-enhanced features, whether you want them or not. The only one that really stood out to our reviewer was “Pay Attention” mode, which lets you record a conversation or interview in tent mode with real-time transcription and a summary afterwards.

The Best Fire Tablet Deals

The Fire HD 10 is Amazon’s best tablet for most people. The current model dates from 2023, but the Octa Core processor is plenty fast enough for consuming Amazon Prime content, which is really the primary reason to buy a Fire tablet. The full HD (1080p) screen won’t win any awards, but it’s good enough for streaming movies. Fire tablets can do double duty as an Echo speaker, too. Turn on Show Mode (swipe down on the notification overlay and check the Show Mode box) and you can query Alexa to your heart’s content. There are 32 GB and 64 GB models, with a microSD slot on both so you can add up to 1 TB of storage if you need more space. Whichever you choose, spend the $15 more for the version without “special offers,” which is what we’ve linked to here. —Scott Gilbertson

Looking for the best mesh Wi-Fi system? Look no further. The Wi-Fi 7 Netgear Orbi 770 Series is my current pick for most households. This tri-band mesh (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz) is simple to set up and use, delivers stable and speedy internet connectivity, and boasts expansive coverage. The stylish tower design is fairly unobtrusive, while the internal antennas ensure every corner of your home can get online. You also get the key benefits of Wi-Fi 7, including MLO (Multi-Link Operation) to enable Wi-Fi 7 devices to connect on multiple bands simultaneously. Basic security is built in, but you do have to subscribe for enhanced security and parental controls, if you want them. —Simon Hill

Western Digital
Elements Desktop Hard Drive (14 TB)
This isn’t the sexiest hard drive around, but for incremental backups, which we recommend, speed isn’t a factor. That’s why I recommend this Western Digital Elements hard drive. These drives are big and require external power, but they’re some of the cheapest, most reliable drives I’ve used. I have been using a variation of the Elements desktop hard drive to make incremental backups of my data for more than a decade. Transfer speeds are not off the charts—the Elements drive I tested scored 120 megabytes per second (MB/s) for sequential writes on Windows—but again, you should ideally be running backups overnight anyway, and even at these speeds the average PC backup will be done by morning. These drives use USB-C with support for USB 3, and I’ve had no problem using them with Windows, macOS, and Linux. —Scott Gilbertson

Amazon
Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)
My favorite Echo Show device is on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and it’s one of the devices you can actually enjoy Alexa+ on (if you’ve gotten early access, that is). It’s a Goldilocks device: not too small to actually use the screen, but also not so large that it’s too hard to place on a kitchen counter or similar space around your home. It’s one of my all-time favorite Alexa speakers and smart displays for a reason. I use it for everything, from asking for recipe replacements while I cook to playing the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack again for my son. There’s a new version coming later this month, but it certainly won’t be on sale for this cheap anytime soon. —Nena Farrell
Echo Pop for $25 ($15 off): This is Amazon’s cheapest speaker, and it’s certainly not bad for the price. You’ll get much better sound spending a little more on the Echo Dot, though, or a fun half-screen on the Echo Spot.
Echo Dot (5th Gen) for $35 ($15 off): This is my favorite budget smart speaker, and while on sale it’s a crazy good deal. It’s got impressive sound and Alexa support in a tiny form factor.
Echo Spot (2nd Gen) for $45 ($35 off): I love this little partial display. There’s no camera and you can customize the clockface, making it a fun bedside clock option.

Belkin
2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad
Belkin’s latest wireless charger supporting the new Qi2 charging standard is already down to its lowest price ever. It dropped from $80 to just $40 for Prime Day. As the name lets on, this is a 2-in-1 charger that has a 15W Qi2 pad for your phone, alongside a smaller 5W zone for AirPods. My favorite addition is the spare USB-C port, though. You get a spare 5W port to plug in another device to charge, which is still necessary for most people—not all our favorite gadgets are pushing power through magnets just yet. —Jacob Roach
Best Portable Power Station Deal

The best portable power stations offer the freedom to go off-grid and keep your gadgets powered, and the Solix C1000 is my pick for happy campers. It has two molded handles for easy carrying, weighs just shy of 30 pounds, and sports a handy LED bar on the front with three brightness levels. It boasts a 1,056-watt-hour capacity, can fast charge smartphones, and has no trouble with small appliances. I used this power station to work on my PC when my house was being rewired recently, and a full charge got me through the workday. It can also serve as an uninterruptible power supply with a 20-millisecond delay. —Simon Hill

I love the Elgato Stream Deck Mini because it’s one of those products that is what you make of it. It’s an enabler. Instead of telling you what it does, a Stream Deck asks what you want it to do, and it does a damn good job of that. Use it to speed up creative workloads, or maybe to have media controls within arm’s reach. Bind complex Excel functions to a button or swap between apps without a second thought. There are massive Stream Decks available for productivity power users, but this Prime Day, you can pick up the six-button Stream Deck Mini for just $50. —Jacob Roach

The Hero 13 Black is our favorite GoPro. The new interchangeable lens system offers many more shooting options than any other action camera we’ve tested. In addition to the standard wide-angle action camera lens, you can also invest in an Ultra Wide ($100), Macro ($120), and Anamorphic ($120) lens. All of these are automatically detected by the Hero 13 the minute you attach them. The camera will automatically adjust settings accordingly, which is a very slick feature that makes switching lenses on the fly simple and smooth. Read our full GoPro Hero 13 review for more details on how the lens system works and why we love it. —Scott Gilbertson
I’ve been recommending the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends) all year, and I’m not about to stop. It’s simply the best laptop you can buy, especially for the price. Unlike MacBooks of the past, the MacBook Air is actually a great deal, especially now that it comes with 16 GB of RAM. It’s such an incredibly balanced laptop—both thin and surprisingly powerful, without any major compromises, whether that’s the display, the webcam, the speakers, or the keyboard. The MacBook Air has it all. Because of how powerful and long-lasting the MacBook Air is, most people simply don’t need anything like the MacBook Pro. —Luke Larsen

Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 2024)
I test new laptops almost every week, but I keep coming back to the Surface Laptop 7th Edition. It’s a fantastic MacBook alternative in its own right, both sleek and designerly. Though it launched last year, it uses the Snapdragon X Elite chip, providing fantastic performance and battery life. But it’s the 120-Hz screen with its unique 3:2 aspect ratio panel that always draws me to it, which gives you more vertical height than the average laptop has. It will likely be many more months before Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon X2 chips come out, so the Surface Laptop 7th Edition is still safe to buy. Just don’t confuse this with the newer, cheaper Surface Laptop 13, which lacks many of the things I appreciate most about the larger, 13.8-inch model. —Luke Larsen

Ergonomic Chair Pro
Branch’s Ergonomic Chair Pro is our top office chair recommendation for most people. It strikes the best balance between comfort, adjustability, design, and price. Seriously, I have tested dozens and dozens of chairs and have yet to come across an office chair under $500 that matches Branch’s quality. You can adjust the seat depth, lock the recline, and there’s even a seat tilt if you want a more active sitting position. The lumbar support is height-adjustable, and you can push it in or out. The standard version is a comfortable mesh fabric, but you can opt for vegan leather or real leather. —Julian Chokkattu

MX Master 3S For Mac
The MX Master 3S is one of the most iconic mice in the world—and for good reason. While it’s true that the long-awaited MX Master 4 has just come out, we still advise saving some cash on the MX Master 3S while you can, especially since there is a Mac-specific version if that floats your boat. The MX Master 3S is a do-it-all office mouse that manages to have great ergonomic support, performance, and features all in one. That also meant that it was historically quite expensive for a mouse, which is why picking it up on discount is such a good idea. The MX Master 4 looks flashier, but when it comes to bang for your buck, the MX Master 3S is still the gold standard. —Luke Larsen

32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor (S3225QC)
A Prime Day price of $680 feels ridiculous for how much monitor you’re getting with the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED. It’s still one of the few OLED monitors that isn’t aimed at gamers, making it a fantastic option for video editors and content creators. It can shoot up to over 1,000 nits of peak brightness in HDR, which should help democratize HDR video editing. Thanks to its strong audio and excellent image quality, it’s just as good for gaming and entertainment, bringing scenes to life in glorious depth of color and contrast. There is, simply, nothing else like it out there right now. —Luke Larsen

This crazy $150 discount makes it an absolute must-have, either as your new smartphone, a device for your parents, or a second phone to have around. Performance is excellent thanks to the use of the flagship Tensor G4 chip, and the dual-camera system is very reliable.

Best Indoor Security Camera Deal

Crisp video, local storage, and accurate AI to detect subjects: What more do you want in a security camera? The TP-Link Tapo C120 tops our best indoor security cameras guide for a host of reasons. The video resolution goes up to 2K, and this camera supports color night vision. It can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles. There’s also two-way audio support and a siren function for scaring intruders away. The C120 has a slot for up to 512-GB microSD cards, so there’s no need to subscribe or send video to the cloud. It’s a shame the frame rate maxes out at 20 and you need the Tapo Care subscription to get snapshots in your notifications, but even at its regular price, this camera is a bargain. —Simon Hill

The AI detection can accurately determine when a person, animal, vehicle, or package is in frame, and alerts come through to your phone reliably wherever you are. There’s also clear and relatively lag-free two-way audio. The catch is that you need a subscription, starting at $5 per month for a single camera, to unlock all the best features. —Simon Hill

Ultraloq makes a ton of different smart locks, and the on-sale U-Bolt Pro is just one of many that we’ve tested. It can be a little confusing to navigate the lineup, and while we didn’t have great experiences with the Fingerprint with HomeKit and Matter models, the Pro (and regular Fingerprint) smart lock worked well in WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu’s home. This lock is easy to install, has built-in Wi-Fi and a fingerprint sensor, and uses four AA batteries that Julian found last about two months. There’s a hidden keyhole to use as a backup, plus a charging port (unfortunately a Micro USB port, rather than the more popular USB-C). The lock works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. —Nena Farrell

Birdfy Plastic Smart Bird Feeder
There is no shortage of smart feeders on the market, but this is our top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders for its reliability and easy-to-use app. It consistently captures 1080p photos and video—though only on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi—and the 1.5 L seed compartment is easy to fill. Note, however, that this price is for the version that does not come with a solar panel, so you will have to bring it inside to charge, nor does it come with a lifetime subscription, so the app will cost $4 a month if you want full functionality, such as AI identification. But your recipient will still be able to see birds without it. —Kat Merck

I’ve tested a dozen automatic pet feeders, and the Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Feeder has remained my top pick after all this time. You can control it near or far via an app, where you adjust feeding schedules and feed on demand. It has a 1080p HD camera with night vision and two-way audio so you can watch, hear, and talk to your pet even when far away. The app is easy to use with extremely customizable feeding plans with meals that you label individually. For just over $100, this camera-feeder combo is well worth the money for the peace of mind it provides. —Molly Higgins
Best Automatic Litter Box Deal
I’m currently testing this automatic litter box; it’s Petkit’s newest model, and so far, I’m impressed. It’s an improvement on older models, with an even bigger opening (great for my chonky cats), a camera tucked inside, and extra deodorizing sprays so things always stay fresh. The HD AI-powered camera has an extra wide 210 degree viewing angle to see everything inside the box, and IR night vision. The AI camera recognizes your cat and logs usage, has stool footage to review, and monitors changes over time, alerting if anything is amiss. With the connected app you can review footage and usage. Plus, this model has a semi-automatic bag sealing design, making emptying dirty litter easier than ever. At 30 percent off, it’s the biggest discount on this brand new model we’ve seen this year. —Molly Higgins

Last year’s Apollo Goelectric scooter triangulates a number of specs—it is not the lightest, nor the fastest, scooter you will ever try, but it combines decent speed with decent range at a weight that is not backbreaking to carry. Editor Julian Chokkattu really likes how you’re able to customize your gearing in the app, so if you only want to ever go 15 mph instead of maxing it out at 28 mph, you can just set it in the app and go. It also has a ton of nice commuter extras, like a bell, excellent turn signals, LED lighting for visibility, a headlight, and a dot display that is super visible in broad daylight. —Adrienne So

The TCL QM8K is one of the best LED TVs we’ve tested all year, and it’s on a very hot sale for Prime Day. This TV starts things off with blazing (and we mean eye-blinding) brightness, matched by rich black levels with very little light bleed. That leads to incredible contrast, which makes its vivid yet natural colors all the more impressive. You’re also getting great gaming features like VRR at up to 165-Hz, a stylish design, and an intuitive Google TV interface to run the show. This is premium performance at about half the price of many competitors, making for a great way to raise your TV game on a budget. —Ryan Waniata

You won’t get Wi-Fi in the package, but it supports Bluetooth for simplified streaming. The sound quality is a major improvement over virtually every TV we’ve tested, and the compact subwoofer provides some cinematic boom to go with clear effects and dialog up top. This system regularly sells for $300, making this a solid sale that’s worth grabbing for anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio with one of the best soundbars around. —Ryan Waniata

It is a truly life-proof speaker, with IP68 dust and water resistance and an excellent drop-tested case. We love the simple, tube-shaped design and the included loop that makes it very easy to pick up and take with you or hang from a pack. Sound wise, it is clear, punchy, and surprisingly full, with 14 hours of playback that can last all day. It also features Auracast, which allows it to pair up other new JBL models. —Parker Hall

These integrate with Google’s Gemini AI and various other Google products (like Translate, which works extremely well for bi-lingual conversations), to provide some of the widest range of features I’ve seen in a pair of buds. Soundwise, they’re nice and clean, with the included noise canceling not quite keeping up with Apple’s brand new buds, but holding its own for nearly $100 cheaper. —Parker Hall

This comes with the big caveat that this tracker is getting pretty long in the tooth. Google is integrating almost all of Fitbit’s health features into its Pixel Watch series, so I’m not sure if or when Fitbit’s flagship line will be updated. With that said, this is absolutely the price you should be paying for a basic fitness tracker that you just want to track your sleep and your steps, have a ton of useful Google integrations like navigation with Google Maps, and work with both iOS and Android. It’s attractive, durable, and you get to use Fitbit’s premium app and health features. Who knows what will happen next year, but for now, the Charge 6 is still a win. —Adrienne So

The Typhur Dome 2 looks like the future, and kinda cooks like it. For more than a decade, the best air fryers all looked pretty much the same: They looked like the first basket air fryer from Philips. This bulbous Typhur is built differently, to maximize cooking surface and air flow across a large cooking plate. The temperature and fan control are precise but variable. And it heats from both top and the bottom heating elements. The result? It’ll crisp two dozen wings in 14 minutes, or even bake a frozen pizza and get an actual crisp crust. A griddle function will legitimately brown meats. A self-clean function also means it won’t stink up your house if you use it for bacon. It’s usually listed at a price to match its performance—but currently it’s on sale for a hell of a deal. —Matthew Korfhage

I like the trigger button for things like cleaning stairs, but it can be a little annoying to use in larger rooms. With the attachments you’ll get a crevice tool, a dusting brush, a hair screw tool, and two cleaner heads, which include the Fluffy Optic cleaner head that shoots out a green laser, making it easy to find all the debris hiding on hard surfaces.

Its metal chassis offers comforting durability and heft. And unlike Philips’ 9000 series, it can trim while plugged into the wall.

While I’m more of a radio-based baby monitor type of person, the Nanit Pro has easily remained my favorite Wi-Fi-based baby monitor. It’s got it all: easy setup! Lots of monitor base options (including a massive floor stand)! An intuitive app! The only thing it doesn’t have is its own parent unit, but instead, your phone becomes the parent unit, with options to get alerts from the app or even have your phone constantly stream the audio from your baby’s room to listen for waking up and rustling around. The Nanit Pro’s 1080p camera makes it easy to keep an eye on your baby whether you’re home or away, as long as you’ve got access to the app. The app also provides a ton of data, like which spot of the crib your baby slept in the most and how often there were wake-ups and visits from mom and dad. There are some subscription levels to get the best data, and even accessories you can add on to track breathing and your baby’s size, but you can still get the best of what Nanit has to offer—a super streamlined baby monitor experience—without the extras. Snag it on sale now, it’s worth it. —Nena Farrell
Frequently Asked Prime Day Questions
Amazon Prime Day is a sale for members of the online retailer’s shopping program—most people sign up to get free shipping, but you also get lots of other perks like Thursday Night NFL football (mostly divisional matchups though Vikings-Chargers in two weeks is interesting). Prime Day includes tens of thousands of deals only available to Prime members, not including $1.50 hot dogs (a Costco membership is required for that).
Is Prime Big Deal Days Different?
Not really. Prime Day is in July and—following what we can only imagine are heated debates inside a Seattle conference room overlooking the Puget Sound, with the smell of fresh Starbucks percolating in the hall as master marketers respectfully exchange divergent philosophies—only in July. Amazon has tried a number of ways of distinguishing its autumnal sale, including the very catchy “Prime Fall Deal Event” and “Prime Early Access Sale.” All are multi-day sales events for Prime members.
Do You Need a Subscription to Shop?
You do, though you can get a free trial and cancel within a month. More than likely you will join more than a hundred million other Americans in signing up with the intention of canceling only to realize you’re addicted to free shipping and want to see the Cowboys-Lions game the week after Thanksgiving.
It lasts for just shy of 48 hours, starting in the wee hours of October 7 and going through October 8 at midnight EST.
Are There Other Sales Going On?
Yes, competitors like Walmart and Best Buy are getting in on the action with their own rival sales.
Many of them are, many of them are not—that’s why we’re working in shifts, sorting through them to spotlight actual discounts on the gear we have tested and approved.
Welcome to day two of Amazon Prime Day 2. The mega-retailer’s two-day sales event for Prime members may be winding down, but there are plenty of deals still going strong for a last push. We’re still gathering all the best markdowns on our favorite tech gear and gadgets, from Alexa-enabled speakers to robot vacs to laptops and tablets.

The Best Fire Tablet Deals
Courtesy of Best Buy
The Fire HD 10 is Amazon’s best tablet for most people. The current model dates from 2023, but the Octa Core processor is plenty fast enough for consuming Amazon Prime content, which is really the primary reason to buy a Fire tablet. The full HD (1080p) screen won’t win any awards, but it’s good enough for streaming movies. Fire tablets can do double duty as an Echo speaker, too. Turn on Show Mode (swipe down on the notification overlay and check the Show Mode box) and you can query Alexa to your heart’s content. There are 32 GB and 64 GB models, with a microSD slot on both so you can add up to 1 TB of storage if you need more space. Whichever you choose, spend the $15 more for the version without “special offers,” which is what we’ve linked to here. —Scott Gilbertson

Kindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition
We love the Kindle Colorsoft for its gorgeous screen, but the retail price makes it tough to justify. This deal changes that, and it’s well worth it if you need a new Kindle. The full-color screen is really nice when browsing your library, and it’s a must-have if you’re into comic books and graphic novels. We think it’s worth spending the extra $10 to get the Signature edition, which comes with wireless charging, an auto-adjusting front light, and twice the storage. —Nena Farrell
Looking for the best mesh Wi-Fi system? Look no further. The Wi-Fi 7 Netgear Orbi 770 Series is my current pick for most households. This tri-band mesh (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz) is simple to set up and use, delivers stable and speedy internet connectivity, and boasts expansive coverage. The stylish tower design is fairly unobtrusive, while the internal antennas ensure every corner of your home can get online. You also get the key benefits of Wi-Fi 7, including MLO (Multi-Link Operation) to enable Wi-Fi 7 devices to connect on multiple bands simultaneously. Basic security is built in, but you do have to subscribe for enhanced security and parental controls, if you want them. —Simon Hill

Western Digital
Elements Desktop Hard Drive (14 TB)
This isn’t the sexiest hard drive around, but for incremental backups, which we recommend, speed isn’t a factor. That’s why I recommend this Western Digital Elements hard drive. These drives are big and require external power, but they’re some of the cheapest, most reliable drives I’ve used. I have been using a variation of the Elements desktop hard drive to make incremental backups of my data for more than a decade. Transfer speeds are not off the charts—the Elements drive I tested scored 120 megabytes per second (MB/s) for sequential writes on Windows—but again, you should ideally be running backups overnight anyway, and even at these speeds the average PC backup will be done by morning. These drives use USB-C with support for USB 3, and I’ve had no problem using them with Windows, macOS, and Linux. —Scott Gilbertson

Amazon
Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)
My favorite Echo Show device is on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and it’s one of the devices you can actually enjoy Alexa+ on (if you’ve gotten early access, that is). It’s a Goldilocks device: not too small to actually use the screen, but also not so large that it’s too hard to place on a kitchen counter or similar space around your home. It’s one of my all-time favorite Alexa speakers and smart displays for a reason. I use it for everything, from asking for recipe replacements while I cook to playing the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack again for my son. There’s a new version coming later this month, but it certainly won’t be on sale for this cheap anytime soon. —Nena Farrell
Echo Pop for $25 ($15 off): This is Amazon’s cheapest speaker, and it’s certainly not bad for the price. You’ll get much better sound spending a little more on the Echo Dot, though, or a fun half-screen on the Echo Spot.
Echo Dot (5th Gen) for $35 ($15 off): This is my favorite budget smart speaker, and while on sale it’s a crazy good deal. It’s got impressive sound and Alexa support in a tiny form factor.
Echo Spot (2nd Gen) for $45 ($35 off): I love this little partial display. There’s no camera and you can customize the clockface, making it a fun bedside clock option.
Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $55 ($35 off): This mini version of the Echo Show devices is a little too small to really enjoy the screen, but I’ve liked using it as a workout speaker to see the songs or tap to pause.
Best Charging Deal

Belkin
2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad
Belkin’s latest wireless charger supporting the new Qi2 charging standard is already down to its lowest price ever. It dropped from $80 to just $40 for Prime Day. As the name lets on, this is a 2-in-1 charger that has a 15W Qi2 pad for your phone, alongside a smaller 5W zone for AirPods. My favorite addition is the spare USB-C port, though. You get a spare 5W port to plug in another device to charge, which is still necessary for most people—not all our favorite gadgets are pushing power through magnets just yet. —Jacob Roach
Best Portable Power Station Deal

The best portable power stations offer the freedom to go off-grid and keep your gadgets powered, and the Solix C1000 is my pick for happy campers. It has two molded handles for easy carrying, weighs just shy of 30 pounds, and sports a handy LED bar on the front with three brightness levels. It boasts a 1,056-watt-hour capacity, can fast charge smartphones, and has no trouble with small appliances. I used this power station to work on my PC when my house was being rewired recently, and a full charge got me through the workday. It can also serve as an uninterruptible power supply with a 20-millisecond delay. —Simon Hill

Best Streaming Gear Deal

I love the Elgato Stream Deck Mini because it’s one of those products that is what you make of it. It’s an enabler. Instead of telling you what it does, a Stream Deck asks what you want it to do, and it does a damn good job of that. Use it to speed up creative workloads, or maybe to have media controls within arm’s reach. Bind complex Excel functions to a button or swap between apps without a second thought. There are massive Stream Decks available for productivity power users, but this Prime Day, you can pick up the six-button Stream Deck Mini for just $50. —Jacob Roach

The Hero 13 Black is our favorite GoPro. The new interchangeable lens system offers many more shooting options than any other action camera we’ve tested. In addition to the standard wide-angle action camera lens, you can also invest in an Ultra Wide ($100), Macro ($120), and Anamorphic ($120) lens. All of these are automatically detected by the Hero 13 the minute you attach them. The camera will automatically adjust settings accordingly, which is a very slick feature that makes switching lenses on the fly simple and smooth. Read our full GoPro Hero 13 review for more details on how the lens system works and why we love it. —Scott Gilbertson
I’ve been recommending the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends) all year, and I’m not about to stop. It’s simply the best laptop you can buy, especially for the price. Unlike MacBooks of the past, the MacBook Air is actually a great deal, especially now that it comes with 16 GB of RAM. It’s such an incredibly balanced laptop—both thin and surprisingly powerful, without any major compromises, whether that’s the display, the webcam, the speakers, or the keyboard. The MacBook Air has it all. Because of how powerful and long-lasting the MacBook Air is, most people simply don’t need anything like the MacBook Pro. —Luke Larsen

Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 2024)
I test new laptops almost every week, but I keep coming back to the Surface Laptop 7th Edition. It’s a fantastic MacBook alternative in its own right, both sleek and designerly. Though it launched last year, it uses the Snapdragon X Elite chip, providing fantastic performance and battery life. But it’s the 120-Hz screen with its unique 3:2 aspect ratio panel that always draws me to it, which gives you more vertical height than the average laptop has. It will likely be many more months before Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon X2 chips come out, so the Surface Laptop 7th Edition is still safe to buy. Just don’t confuse this with the newer, cheaper Surface Laptop 13, which lacks many of the things I appreciate most about the larger, 13.8-inch model. —Luke Larsen
Branch’s Ergonomic Chair Pro is our top office chair recommendation for most people. It strikes the best balance between comfort, adjustability, design, and price. Seriously, I have tested dozens and dozens of chairs and have yet to come across an office chair under $500 that matches Branch’s quality. You can adjust the seat depth, lock the recline, and there’s even a seat tilt if you want a more active sitting position. The lumbar support is height-adjustable, and you can push it in or out. The standard version is a comfortable mesh fabric, but you can opt for vegan leather or real leather. Branch is having a sitewide 20 percent off sale right now, and it runs through October 8. —Julian Chokkattu

Logitech
MX Master 3S For Mac
The MX Master 3S is one of the most iconic mice in the world—and for good reason. While it’s true that the long-awaited MX Master 4 has just come out, we still advise saving some cash on the MX Master 3S while you can, especially since there is a Mac-specific version if that floats your boat. The MX Master 3S is a do-it-all office mouse that manages to have great ergonomic support, performance, and features all in one. That also meant that it was historically quite expensive for a mouse, which is why picking it up on discount is such a good idea. The MX Master 4 looks flashier, but when it comes to bang for your buck, the MX Master 3S is still the gold standard. —Luke Larsen

Dell
32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor (S3225QC)
A Prime Day price of $680 feels ridiculous for how much monitor you’re getting with the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED. It’s still one of the few OLED monitors that isn’t aimed at gamers, making it a fantastic option for video editors and content creators. It can shoot up to over 1,000 nits of peak brightness in HDR, which should help democratize HDR video editing. Thanks to its strong audio and excellent image quality, it’s just as good for gaming and entertainment, bringing scenes to life in glorious depth of color and contrast. There is, simply, nothing else like it out there right now. —Luke Larsen

The best unlocked phone you can buy—one that manages to offer all the top features you need for a palatable price—is the Google Pixel 9a. This crazy $150 discount makes it an absolute must-have, either as your new smartphone, a device for your parents, or a second phone to have around. Performance is excellent thanks to the use of the flagship Tensor G4 chip, and the dual-camera system is very reliable. You get tons of smart software features, including some of the best call-screening technology in the business, along with wireless charging, an IP68 rating, and seven years of software support. —Julian Chokkattu
If you need a little extra protection for your devices, you can pick up McAfee Total Protection at a steep discount this Prime Day. How steep? Eighty-three percent off for a year, and with protection for unlimited devices. McAfee Total Protection includes the expected antivirus, of course, but more importantly, it comes with scam protection for your phone, a password manager, and even identity theft monitoring. —Jacob Roach

Best Indoor Security Camera Deal

Crisp video, local storage, and accurate AI to detect subjects: What more do you want in a security camera? The TP-Link Tapo C120 tops our best indoor security cameras guide for a host of reasons. The video resolution goes up to 2K, and this camera supports color night vision. It can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles. There’s also two-way audio support and a siren function for scaring intruders away. The C120 has a slot for up to 512-GB microSD cards, so there’s no need to subscribe or send video to the cloud. It’s a shame the frame rate maxes out at 20 and you need the Tapo Care subscription to get snapshots in your notifications, but even at its regular price, this camera is a bargain. —Simon Hill

Snag the Arlo Pro 5S if you want top-notch video quality, the best notifications in the business, and wide smart-home support. This clever device is the best outdoor security camera on the market right now, and also offers color night vision, a spotlight and siren, and a slick app that’s swift to load the live feed. The AI detection can accurately determine when a person, animal, vehicle, or package is in frame, and alerts come through to your phone reliably wherever you are. There’s also clear and relatively lag-free two-way audio. The catch is that you need a subscription, starting at $5 per month for a single camera, to unlock all the best features. —Simon Hill

Best Smart Lock Deal

U-Tec Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro
Ultraloq makes a ton of different smart locks, and the on-sale U-Bolt Pro is just one of many that we’ve tested. It can be a little confusing to navigate the lineup, and while we didn’t have great experiences with the Fingerprint with HomeKit and Matter models, the Pro (and regular Fingerprint) smart lock worked well in WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu’s home. This lock is easy to install, has built-in Wi-Fi and a fingerprint sensor, and uses four AA batteries that Julian found last about two months. There’s a hidden keyhole to use as a backup, plus a charging port (unfortunately a Micro USB port, rather than the more popular USB-C). The lock works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. —Nena Farrell
Yale Assure Lock 2 (Keyless) for $189 ($71 off): This variation of the popular Yale Assure Lock 2 is keyhole-free, so you’ll only use the keypad or other methods (like Auto-unlock or the Yale app, or even your Apple Watch) to open your front door.
Aqara Smart Lock U50 for $100 ($50 off): This is my favorite lock if you want a full replacement. It’s easy to install, well-made, and surprisingly affordable compared to the competition. You’ll need to add on a bridge, but Aqara makes a cheaper one now.
Aqara Smart Lock U300 for $170 ($60 off): This is our favorite smart lock for interior doors, or side doors that don’t have a deadbolt but you still want locked.
There is no shortage of smart feeders on the market, but this is our top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders for its reliability and easy-to-use app. It consistently captures 1080p photos and video—though only on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi—and the 1.5 L seed compartment is easy to fill. Note, however, that this price is for the version that does not come with a solar panel, so you will have to bring it inside to charge, nor does it come with a lifetime subscription, so the app will cost $4 a month if you want full functionality, such as AI identification. But your recipient will still be able to see birds without it. —Kat Merck

Granary Smart Camera Feeder
I’ve tested a dozen automatic pet feeders, and the Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Feeder has remained my top pick after all this time. You can control it near or far via an app, where you adjust feeding schedules and feed on demand. It has a 1080p HD camera with night vision and two-way audio so you can watch, hear, and talk to your pet even when far away. The app is easy to use with extremely customizable feeding plans with meals that you label individually. For just over $100, this camera-feeder combo is well worth the money for the peace of mind it provides. —Molly Higgins

Best Automatic Litter Box Deal
I’m currently testing this automatic litter box; it’s Petkit’s newest model, and so far, I’m impressed. It’s an improvement on older models, with an even bigger opening (great for my chonky cats), a camera tucked inside, and extra deodorizing sprays so things always stay fresh. The HD AI-powered camera has an extra wide 210 degree viewing angle to see everything inside the box, and IR night vision. The AI camera recognizes your cat and logs usage, has stool footage to review, and monitors changes over time, alerting if anything is amiss. With the connected app you can review footage and usage. Plus, this model has a semi-automatic bag sealing design, making emptying dirty litter easier than ever. At 30 percent off, it’s the biggest discount on this brand new model we’ve seen this year. —Molly Higgins

Best Electric Transportation Deal

Last year’s Apollo Goelectric scooter triangulates a number of specs—it is not the lightest, nor the fastest, scooter you will ever try, but it combines decent speed with decent range at a weight that is not backbreaking to carry. Editor Julian Chokkattu really likes how you’re able to customize your gearing in the app, so if you only want to ever go 15 mph instead of maxing it out at 28 mph, you can just set it in the app and go. It also has a ton of nice commuter extras, like a bell, excellent turn signals, LED lighting for visibility, a headlight, and a dot display that is super visible in broad daylight. —Adrienne So

Segway Max G3 for $1,100 ($200 off): The standout feature of the Max G3 is its amazing 3.5-hour charge time; if you have to get somewhere and forget to plug it in, you never have to worry about waiting for it to charge overnight to take off.
Segway ZT3 for $850 ($150 off): This off-road scooter has impressive suspension and big 11-inch tires to handle any pothole that you might find.
The TCL QM8K is one of the best LED TVs we’ve tested all year, and it’s on a very hot sale for Prime Day. This TV starts things off with blazing (and we mean eye-blinding) brightness, matched by rich black levels with very little light bleed. That leads to incredible contrast, which makes its vivid yet natural colors all the more impressive. You’re also getting great gaming features like VRR at up to 165-Hz, a stylish design, and an intuitive Google TV interface to run the show. This is premium performance at about half the price of many competitors, making for a great way to raise your TV game on a budget. —Ryan Waniata

It’s got multiple inputs, including HDMI eARC for seamless TV connection, and even an aux port for legacy devices like a turntable. You won’t get Wi-Fi in the package, but it supports Bluetooth for simplified streaming. The sound quality is a major improvement over virtually every TV we’ve tested, and the compact subwoofer provides some cinematic boom to go with clear effects and dialog up top. This system regularly sells for $300, making this a solid sale that’s worth grabbing for anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio with one of the best soundbars around. —Ryan Waniata

We have been big fans of JBL’s Bluetooth speaker models for many generations, but the JBL Flip 7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite model yet. It is a truly life-proof speaker, with IP68 dust and water resistance and an excellent drop-tested case. We love the simple, tube-shaped design and the included loop that makes it very easy to pick up and take with you or hang from a pack. Sound wise, it is clear, punchy, and surprisingly full, with 14 hours of playback that can last all day. It also features Auracast, which allows it to pair up other new JBL models. —Parker Hall

If you want high-end earbuds but don’t want to pay full price, now is a great time to snag the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Reviews). These adorable little headphones are perfect for smaller ears thanks to their button-like design, and they feature all the bells and whistles you’d associate with more expensive models like the Apple AirPods Pro 3. These integrate with Google’s Gemini AI and various other Google products (like Translate, which works extremely well for bi-lingual conversations), to provide some of the widest range of features I’ve seen in a pair of buds. Soundwise, they’re nice and clean, with the included noise canceling not quite keeping up with Apple’s brand new buds, but holding its own for nearly $100 cheaper. —Parker Hall

We love the snazzy onboard controls and the extremely comfortable fit, which makes these the perfect pair to take with you on trips or when you have to go into the office. —Parker Hall
This comes with the big caveat that this tracker is getting pretty long in the tooth. Google is integrating almost all of Fitbit’s health features into its Pixel Watch series, so I’m not sure if or when Fitbit’s flagship line will be updated. With that said, this is absolutely the price you should be paying for a basic fitness tracker that you just want to track your sleep and your steps, have a ton of useful Google integrations like navigation with Google Maps, and work with both iOS and Android. It’s attractive, durable, and you get to use Fitbit’s premium app and health features. Who knows what will happen next year, but for now, the Charge 6 is still a win. —Adrienne So

LifeStraw
Personal Water Filter
Lifestraw’s personal water filter is a long time favorite of WIRED readers. It’s extremely small, cheap, and light, and it works. It earned a spot in our guide to the best backpacking water filters. The main problem with the Lifestraw is that you have to use the force of your sucking to get the water through the filter, which is not for everyone. You also can’t use it to filter water for cooking. If you need something more, check out the Lifestraw Go, which is also on sale. —Scott Gilbertson
The Typhur Dome 2 looks like the future, and kinda cooks like it. For more than a decade, the best air fryers all looked pretty much the same: They looked like the first basket air fryer from Philips. This bulbous Typhur is built differently, to maximize cooking surface and air flow across a large cooking plate. The temperature and fan control are precise but variable. And it heats from both top and the bottom heating elements. The result? It’ll crisp two dozen wings in 14 minutes, or even bake a frozen pizza and get an actual crisp crust. A griddle function will legitimately brown meats. A self-clean function also means it won’t stink up your house if you use it for bacon. It’s usually listed at a price to match its performance—but currently it’s on sale for a hell of a deal. —Matthew Korfhage

Look, we didn’t expect a real espresso contender from Ninja on their first go. But this beginner-friendly semi-automatic machine—with a built-in conical burr grinder that grinds by weight—was the pleasant surprise of last year. The Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier impressed WIRED reviewer Tyler Shane not just for its value, but also for the shockingly good automatic milk steaming, the auto-tamping on the portafilter, and the built-in scale. It’s not perfect: The cold brew and drip coffee functions are merely “fine.” But this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen this machine. And it’s a great gift for the espresso beginner in your life, even if that’s you. —Matthew Korfhage
This robot vacuum from Dreame is one of our favorites for its range of features, but it’s especially our best robot vacuum for pets. Why? It pings you to re-clean particularly dirty spots, like right in front of the litter box or in front of the dog’s dog bed. The software is really impressive. It also has double roll brushes to reduce tangling, plus side arms to edge-clean more effectively, in addition to the usual large-capacity docking station with clean and dirty water tanks, self-emptying bag, and hot-water mop washing. —Adrienne So
Eufy E20 3-in-1 Vacuum for $300 ($350 off): This 3-in-1 vacuum (stick, handheld, and robot) is a compact, adorable cleaning solution for small spaces (the dustbin is half the size of other dustbins).
Ecovacs Deebot X11 Omnicyclone for $1,200 ($300 off): I just tested this vacuum, which launched at IFA 2025! The standout feature is a bagless, clogless disposal system which, as someone who has spent many a night unclogging a tube with a chopstick, I very much appreciated.
Yeedi C12 Combination Robot Vacuum for $380 ($220 off): Why limit yourself to a robot vac, stick vac, or hand vac when you could have all three in one handy station? You’d get your money’s worth even at the original price, making this sale one you can’t miss.
3i G10+ for $270 ($180 off): This basic, compact robot vacuum has a ton of flagship features for a reasonable price, including an internal compression paddle that means you only have to empty it once every few weeks!

It’s an all-around great stick vacuum with Dyson’s power, a range of attachments, and a trigger-style power button. The Plus version is on sale right now, which has a slightly different set of attachments and is otherwise the same vacuum. I like the trigger button for things like cleaning stairs, but it can be a little annoying to use in larger rooms. With the attachments you’ll get a crevice tool, a dusting brush, a hair screw tool, and two cleaner heads, which include the Fluffy Optic cleaner head that shoots out a green laser, making it easy to find all the debris hiding on hard surfaces. You’ll get all this for a pretty reasonable price usually, but we especially love to see this vacuum on sale, like it is right now. —Nena Farrell

(Well, technically, that was the smart-version HP7, but this is the same thing minus the app.) Featuring Dyson’s classic ellipse, this version is not smart, but it does have a remote that sticks magnetically to the body, as well as oscillation up to 350 degrees and a fully enclosed HEPA system. Keep in mind that even though the sale price is still a bit steep, it’s still less expensive than buying a separate heater, fan, and air purifier—and it’s easier to store. —Kat Merck

Best Air Purifier Deal

WIRED’s air quality expert, contributor Lisa Wood Shapiro, considers this True HEPA Coway to be the best bang for your buck when it comes to air purifiers, and I agree—I’ve had one in my kitchen for over three years now. I like the slim profile (less than 10 inches), which makes it easy to site, and the fact that it can effectively exchange the air in a 361-square-foot room (the size of a small bedroom or office) the recommended 4.8 times per hour. It’s already a fine deal at its MSRP of $240, but sales like Prime Day and Black Friday are typically the only times to snag one for under $200. —Kat Merck
Brooklinen’s sateen sheets are already our favorite cotton sateen sheets you can find on Amazon, and those great sheets are on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days, along with the rest of Brooklinen’s Amazon storefront (clip the 20% off coupon). These sheets use long-staple cotton to add extra softness, and sateen’s three-over-one weave style is already loved for being a silky-soft bedsheet. These sheets are Oeko-Tex certified, too, meaning they’re free from harmful chemicals (but not fully organic). I also love that there are tags that say which side is long and short, which is a relief to find whenever I’m making the bed. —Nena Farrell

Snooz
Smart White Noise Sound Machine
I’ve tested a lot of white noise machines, but Snooz remains one of the best in my book. The materials feel substantial and of high quality, and the simplicity of the design epitomizes the “set it and forget it” concept. Since an internal fan creates the noise, it is a gentler white noise than what I sometimes hear on other machines. —Julia Forbes
This Philips Norelco is already a champion of versatility matched with low cost—a Swiss army knife of beard, head, burns, and eyebrow guards with a nose trimmer to boot. The trimmer is high-rpm, but still quiet. The guardless blade shaves closer than most, and the shaving foil is even better. The battery lasts more than five hours. Its metal chassis offers comforting durability and heft. And unlike Philips’ 9000 series, it can trim while plugged into the wall. The only real drawback is all those guards are difficult to sort and keep track of. Anyway, it’s on a good sale from its already excellent price. —Matthew Korfhage

Champion
Reverse Weave Sweatshirt
The best hoodie you can buy on Amazon gets a steep price cut for Prime Day. Champion’s iconic reverse-weave hoodie is the father of the format, and still holds its own in a world where every brand makes its own version. The fabric is sturdy but stretchy and ages gracefully over many wash cycles. —Martin Cizmar
The Razer Huntsman Mini is an adorable 60-percent keyboard. It’s similar to a full-size keyboard, but it’s missing the arrow keys and number pad—so you’ll get only what you really need. If you’re on the hunt for a slightly smaller keyboard than full-size, this one is worth looking into. The keys are responsive and satisfyingly clicky, and the footprint will take up less space on your desk. Like all the best computer peripherals, you can customize the RGB lights and even add on Razer keycap kits. —Louryn Strampe
Best Board Game Deal

Tactile and tactical tile-based fun as you compete to craft patterns and match tiles to maximize your score at the end of each round. These ceramic tiles are inspired by the Alhambra palace in southern Spain, and the Portuguese king has employed you as a tile-laying artist to embellish the walls of his Royal Palace of Evora. One of the best family board games, Azul is beautiful, easy to grasp, and has wide appeal, but supports layers of strategy that boost the replay value. —Simon Hill
While I’m more of a radio-based baby monitor type of person, the Nanit Pro has easily remained my favorite Wi-Fi-based baby monitor. It’s got it all: easy setup! Lots of monitor base options (including a massive floor stand)! An intuitive app! The only thing it doesn’t have is its own parent unit, but instead, your phone becomes the parent unit, with options to get alerts from the app or even have your phone constantly stream the audio from your baby’s room to listen for waking up and rustling around. The Nanit Pro’s 1080p camera makes it easy to keep an eye on your baby whether you’re home or away, as long as you’ve got access to the app. The app also provides a ton of data, like which spot of the crib your baby slept in the most and how often there were wake-ups and visits from mom and dad. There are some subscription levels to get the best data, and even accessories you can add on to track breathing and your baby’s size, but you can still get the best of what Nanit has to offer—a super streamlined baby monitor experience—without the extras. Snag it on sale now, it’s worth it. —Nena Farrell

Frequently Asked Prime Day Questions
Amazon Prime Day is a sale for members of the online retailer’s shopping program—most people sign up to get free shipping, but you also get lots of other perks like Thursday Night NFL football (mostly divisional matchups though Vikings-Chargers in two weeks is interesting). Prime Day includes tens of thousands of deals only available to Prime members, not including $1.50 hot dogs (a Costco membership is required for that).
Is Prime Big Deal Days Different?
Not really. Prime Day is in July and—following what we can only imagine are heated debates inside a Seattle conference room overlooking the Puget Sound, with the smell of fresh Starbucks percolating in the hall as master marketers respectfully exchange divergent philosophies—only in July. Amazon has tried a number of ways of distinguishing its autumnal sale, including the very catchy “Prime Fall Deal Event” and “Prime Early Access Sale.” All are multi-day sales events for Prime members.
Do You Need a Subscription to Shop?
You do, though you can get a free trial and cancel within a month. More than likely you will join more than a hundred million other Americans in signing up with the intention of canceling only to realize you’re addicted to free shipping and want to see the Cowboys-Lions game the week after Thanksgiving.
It lasts for just shy of 48 hours, starting in the wee hours of October 7 and going through October 8 at midnight EST.
Are There Other Sales Going On?
Yes, competitors like Walmart and Best Buy are getting in on the action with their own rival sales.
Many of them are, many of them are not—that’s why we’re working in shifts, sorting through them to spotlight actual discounts on the gear we have tested and approved.
TP-Link Tapo C325WB for $80 ($20 off): This hard-wired camera delivers crisp video, color night vision, and local recording, ideal if you can run a cable.
Aqara Smart Lock U50 for $100 ($50 off): This is my favorite lock if you want a full replacement. It’s easy to install, well-made, and surprisingly affordable compared to the competition. You’ll need to add on a bridge, but Aqara makes a cheaper one now.
It’s Prime Day times, and one of my favorite sonic surprises of 2025 is getting a sweet discount. The Sony Bravia Theater System 6 is one of the best soundbar setups I’ve tested this year, offering a unique mix of components that serve up some of the most thrilling and musical surround sound you can get for the money. There aren’t a ton of fancy features here, but you’ll get everything you need in one box to take your TV setup from boring to bodacious.
The Bravia Theater System 6 comes in a rather large box, with its hefty subwoofer taking up most of the real estate. The large cabinet serves as both the sonic foundation and the primary hub of the 5.1-channel system, offering all inputs and connecting to the slim soundbar via a small flat cable. Inputs include HDMI eARC for seamless TV connection, as well as digital optical and 3.5-mm analog input for legacy sources.
A small amplifier box connects to the subwoofer wirelessly, while two more flat cables connect the tall surround speakers. It’s a lot of wires for a single-box surround system in 2025, but the payoff is performance that gets refreshingly close to more complex multi-speaker setups. You’ll get punch and verve in the bass, smooth musicality and poised dialog from the bar, and clear and fluid surround channels from the back speakers. While there aren’t any upfiring speakers for 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos, the System 6 does a commendable job virtualizing Atmos.
One thing you won’t get in the package is Wi-Fi support, which means you’ll be confined to Bluetooth streaming, and any updates need to be done manually with a USB drive, yet another callback to older Home Theater in a Box (HTiB) systems.
A bit of awkwardness in setup is worth it for the sheer cinematic performance the Bravia Theater System 6 serves up. It’s worth the splurge for many at full price, but this discount makes it a much easier choice for anyone looking to take their basic TV setup to the next level. If you want to be fully immersed in your films and TV shows, this setup delivers.
If you want your iPhone to feel special, you need to get it an entourage. These MagSafe and Qi2 accessories are more than just hanger-ons (though the magnets make them clingy); they can also add features and functions to your iPhone. We test a ton of MagSafe accessories, and this is the discounted crew we’d splash the cash on for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.

Belkin
3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand
Belkin’s 3-in-1 charging tree is the top pick in our Best Apple 3-in-1 Chargers guide. It can charge your MagSafe iPhone (or any other Qi2 phone) at 15 watts, fast-charge an Apple Watch Series 7 or newer, and juice up your AirPods all at once. It’s also stable and it looks kinda classy.

Smartish
Side Hustle Wallet
You can fit three cards into this wallet, and it sticks securely to the back of your iPhone, so you can leave your regular wallet or handbag at home. This lovely-looking MagSafe wallet appears in our best MagSafe accessories guide.
Belkin makes some of our favorite Apple accessories, and this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days discount on its 3-in-1 wireless charging tree sees it fall to its lowest price yet. The top pick in our Best Apple 3-in-1 Chargers guide, this charger combines black soft-touch finish pads and a base with a shiny chrome tree that you can hang your iPhone and Apple Watch on, with a charging spot for AirPods at the foot of the trunk.
It has been at the top of our list for a few years now because Belkin has refreshed it with the latest standards. This 3-in-1 has Qi2 support, meaning you can use it with any MagSafe iPhone or Qi2 Android phone. It can recharge your phone at a 15-watt charging rate, and it can also fast-charge the Apple Watch Series 7 or newer (not the SE). The spot on the base is suitable for AirPods Pro or any other earbuds with a wireless charging case.
I love that the phone charging pad is adjustable, and you can stick your phone in portrait or landscape orientation. If you have an iPhone, you can use StandBy mode to transform your phone into a bedside clock. There’s also plenty of room for any kind of Apple Watch strap to droop beneath the watch charging pad.
Everything sits securely in place on this charger, and the broad base keeps it in place, so there’s no accidentally knocking things off and finding an empty battery in the morning. The Belkin 3-in-1 comes with a 5-foot, permanently attached, braided USB-C cable, and the 36-watt power supply you need to charge everything at top speed.
