Amazon Prime Day: the 21 best early tech deals
Echo Pop smart speaker: was $39.99 now $17.99 at Amazon
Prime members: Amazon's best-selling Echo Pop just dropped to $17.99 - the lowest price we've ever seen. For that money, you're getting a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free.

Fire TV Stick: was $39.99 now $17.99 at Amazon
Prime members: Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick is less than half-price for Prime Day. The streaming stick has never been this low before, so it's a good opportunity to pick one up for less if you're not a member. We found it was a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV in our Fire TV Stick review, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls and the ability to control other smart home devices.
Ring Stick Up Cam Battery HD Security Camera: was $99.99 now $54.99 at Amazon
Prime members: Amazon's early Prime Day deals include the Ring Stick Up Cam for $54.99 - the cheapest price we've ever seen. The Alexa-enabled security camera features motion-activated notifications and two-way talk and can be placed indoors or outdoors.
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $159 now $69 at Amazon
If you're looking to grab today's cheapest AirPods deal, Amazon has the AirPods 2 on sale for just $69 – that's back to the record-low price we saw during Black Friday and fantastic value for a pair of Apple's premium earbuds. This deal is highly recommended if you want new AirPods and don't need noise-canceling technology.
Amazon Echo Show 8 (2023): was $149.99 now $84.99 at Amazon
Prime members: If you're looking for a smart home display, Amazon has the latest Echo Show 8 on sale for a new record-low price of $84.99. The eight-inch display allows you to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices completely hands-free thanks to Alexa compatibility.
Amazon Fire TV 55-inch Omni QLED Series 4K TV: was $599.99 now $419.99 at Amazon
Prime members: Amazon's Fire TV Omni QLED Series is a big step up in the otherwise cheap and cheerful range of smart TVs. This set boasts premium features, including a QLED display, HDR, Dolby Vision, local dimming, and HDMI 2.1 support to deliver a top-quality picture for all-around viewing and gaming. It's not always easy to find a TV of this size with these high-end features around $400, so it's an excellent buy for the budget-conscious without compromising on quality.
Apple AirTag: was $29 now $24.99 at Amazon
The best-selling Apple AirTag is on sale for a record-low $24.99 at Amazon's early Prime Day sale. If you tend to misplace your keys or wallet, attach the AirTag to anything you don't want to lose, and your iPhone will locate it.
Fire TV Stick 4K: was $49.99 now $24.99 at Amazon
Prime members: As the name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high definition 4K resolution. It's a good offer for a solid streaming stick that comes with access to all the major apps and supports voice controls through Alexa. This offer matches the previous record-low price we saw during last year's Prime Day so it's worth buying now as we likely won't see a similar offer for another four months.
Bose SoundLink Flex: was $149.95 now $99 at Amazon
Great battery life, easy portability, big sound, and easy-to-use controls all make this Bose speaker a great choice. We gave it 4 stars out of 5 in our Bose SoundLink Flex review and still think that it's a top alternative to some of the best Bluetooth speakers out there. Today's early Prime Day deal brings the price down to a record low of $99.95.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C): was $249 now $169 at Amazon
The AirPods Pro 2 are the best-selling earbuds on the planet for a reason, and Amazon's early Prime Day sales have the earbuds for their lowest ever price of $169. You get superb sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, excellent spatial audio, auto-switching between different Apple devices, and an unloseable case.

Amazon Echo Spot: was $79.99 now $44.99 at Amazon
Prime members: Amazon's brand new Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touch with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, which might make it the ideal smart alarm clock.

Ninja Air Fryer Pro: was $119.99 now $89.99 at Amazon
Ninja is one of the most popular air fryer manufacturers and this is a return to the record-low price for one of its latest and most accessible appliances.

Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $449 now $324 at Amazon
Amazon has the 10.9 iPad on sale for $324, which is the lowest price we've ever seen. Compared to the 2021 iPad, the entry-level tablet comes with a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple's powerful A14 Bionic chip for laptop-like speed, upgraded cameras with 4K video, and all-day battery life.
Kindle Scribe: was $339.99 now $234.99 at Amazon
Prime members: This is the new lowest-ever price for the Kindle Scribe, beating the previous record-low by $5. It combines some of the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite, such as the glare-free and auto-adjusting display, along with the option to take notes, comment on documents, and doodle using the included stylus pen. In our Kindle Scribe review, we were initially disappointed with some missing features, but these have since been added in recent updates, so now this is good value for such a multi-functional device.
