Deals are now running out for the Amazon Prime Day 2022 sales, and they likely won't go this low again until Black Friday later in the year, towards the end of November. So, if you're looking for a cheaper way to soundtrack the summer, pick up one of the deals below and take advantage of the waning Prime Day discounts.
