We’re nearing the end of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days first day, but here are two pieces of good news: deals are still going strong, and there’s another day of the sale tomorrow. While I’ve already highlighted the best of the best Lego deals and my colleague Mackenzie found an absurd deal on an LG OLED, I’m here to talk about great savings on Beats.

Shop Amazon's full Prime Day sale

No, not the record 67% off the Beats Pill, but rather savings on Beats Cables. I don’t travel without these, and I barely leave home without them, considering there are always two in my backpack. These braided USB-C to USB-C cables offer excellent durability and Apple-quality construction, but in fun colors and at a more affordable price point.

Prime Day is making that even cheaper – the Beats 1.5-meter (5-foot) USB-C to USB-C cable in Surge Stone is a record 53% off at just $8.99. That’s $10 off the $18.99 MSRP. You can also save on this cable in other colors, such as Bolt Black, Nitro Navy, and Rapid Red, as well as USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning Beats Cables.

Today's best Beats cable Prime Day deal

Yes, Beats makes cables in addition to headphones, earbuds, speakers, and phone cases. This USB-C to USB-C cable not only comes in a fun color but is also durable and made from braided material. It supports data transfers as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it also supports up to 60 watts of power. In Surge Stone, the 1.5-meter USB-C to USB-C cable is available at the record-low price of just $8.99 at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days.

While not as discounted, you can get the same length in Bolt Black, Nitro Navy, and Rapid Red for $12.99.

All of Beats' cables, including this massively discounted 1.5-meter USB-C to USB-C cable in Surge Stone, are made from a woven material similar to Apple's own cables and are designed to be tangle-free.

These work well with the Apple ecosystem, supporting charging up to 60 watts and Apple CarPlay, but they also work fine with non-Apple devices. You can use these to charge a Nintendo Switch 2, a Microsoft Surface Laptop, any Android phone, and even use them to power Android Auto. As far as data speeds are concerned, the Beats cables support speeds up to USB 2.0.

The only cable in the lineup with a slightly downgraded spec is the USB-A to USB-C cable, which tops out at 15 watts for charging. While there are discounts to be had on the USB-A to USB-C or USB-C to Lightning Beats Cables, this 1.5-meter USB-C to USB-C really hits the sweet spot this Prime Day.
