Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. ET, so get moving.

Fortunately, you don't need to spend hours scrolling through Amazon, because I already found the best Prime Day tech deals for you. As Mashable's tech editor, my inbox is full of brands trying to get me to cover their newest gadgets, AI models, and futuristic wearables. I get to test the latest flagship headphones, QLED TVs, and foldable phones for Mashable readers. And I gotta say — I love my job.

For Prime Big Deal Days, aka October Prime Day 2025, Amazon (as well as Best Buy, Walmart, and other retailers and brands) has discounted some of my favorite gadgets of the year. I'm also spotting Prime Day deals on boring but essential products like memory cards, wireless chargers, and USB-C cables. So, I've gathered all of the top discounts into one place for Mashable readers. Remember: Prime Big Deal Days 2025 started on Oct. 7 and only lasts until Oct. 8, so time is ticking on the last big Amazon sale until Black Friday.

Whether you've been waiting to invest in a new laptop or 65-inch TV, or just need to replace some tech that's past its expiration date, the next 48 hours are going to be a prime timeto shop. So, without any further preamble, let's get into my favorite Prime Day tech deals from brands like Apple, Samsung, DJI, Dyson, Shark, and Bose. I will also be providing live updates in our October Prime Day live blog.

Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth Speaker

This Beats deal truly took me by surprise. I would have been excited about a discount to $79, but Amazon has marked down these Bluetooth speakers to $49.99, beating the previous record price by about $50. This party speaker is IP67 water-resistant and has the easy connectivity and audio quality you expect from a Beats product.

Update: The Kim Kardashian Beats Pill speaker is no longer at this price at Amazon, as of 2 p.m. ET. For a similar alternative, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4has the same water resistance rating and is on sale for $66.49 (34% off).

Apple AirPods starting at $89

There's just something about the phrase "$89 AirPods" that sounds right, doesn't it? In the tariffs era, the fact that you can buy new AirPods for $89 feels like a small miracle. While all eyes will be on the new AirPods Pro 3, if you don't need ANC — or have a tendency to lose your earbuds — this purchase is a no-brainer.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

When I say I'm a book nerd, I mean that I literally collect rare and first-edition books. And my Kindle Paperwhite goes with me everywhere. Amazon doesn't always offer Prime Day Kindle deals, and this year's discounts are surprisingly good. While I recommend getting the Kindle Paperwhite (without lockscreen ads), the base Kindle is also on sale.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack)

AirTags are just 50 cents shy of their all-time low price at Amazon. (Best Buy is also matching this price.) These popular trackers use Apple's massive Find My network to help you track down lost items, and they've never been more affordable. Buy the four-pack and pay just $16.24 per tracker.

Anker power stations

Mashable has been testing the new Anker Solix power stations, and once you buy one, you'll never go camping without them again. They're also handy for music festivals or emergency blackouts. For Prime Day, you can grab these popular power stations at record prices. For Prime Big Deal Days, these appliances have massive discounts, with savings up to $1,200.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

Looking for the best Prime Day deal on noise-cancelling headphones? While you can grab the Apple AirPods Max at their lowest-ever price, I actually recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. With a cool $100 discount, these are my top picks in the headphones category. They're the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, and the ANC is phenomenal.

Some boring-but-essential smart plugs

This isn't the sexiest gadget on my list, but it might be the most useful. These Kasa Smart Plugs can turn just about any floor lamp or fan into a smart device that I can control with my voice or schedule (no hub needed). They're incredibly reliable and easy to set up. A single plug is a good deal, but the real value is in this four-pack, which brings the cost down to just over $6 per plug. You can never have too many.

My favorite Anker charging gadgets

I've said it before, but Anker makes my favorite charging accessories, and I use their stuff every single day. Prime Day is always a great time to stock up on their power banks, cables, and wall adapters. My top recommendation this year is this clever MagSafe gadget that's part card reader, part charger. If you're a creator who's constantly offloading photos or drone footage, it's a lifesaver. It lets you transfer files from an SD or microSD card while still charging your iPhone, which is a ridiculously smart design. I'm also a huge fan of their super-slim Nano power bank, which snaps right onto the back of your iPhone and is perfect for travel.

A new MacBook Air

The M4 MacBook Air was released earlier this year, and it's been shockingly affordable. But now it's back at its lowest-ever price of $799. That's a $200 discount on a new Apple laptop with a blazing-fast M4 chip, a gorgeous Liquid Retina display, and a hefty 16GB of RAM.

The best Windows laptop (and a true MacBook rival)

I already recommended the M4 MacBook Air, but if you're a Windows person, this is the laptop to get. The new Surface Laptop 7 is one of the first Copilot+ PCs, billed as the "fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever." It's incredibly light at just 2.7 pounds, has a battery that actually lasts all day, and the new Snapdragon X Plus chip is impressively fast. At $250 off, you're getting a brand new, future-proof machine that gives the MacBook a serious run for its money.

If you need even more processing power, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with the Snapdragon X Eliteis also on sale for Prime Day.

Samsung The Frame art TVs

I think Samsung's cult-favorite art TV is the best TV in the world, full stop. While it doesn't have the most advanced display for gaming or watching movies, there's just nothing else like it. The ultra-thin TV has a magic-like matte display, and it transforms into a work of art when not in use. The often-imitated TV usually gets a discount during big sales, and this year, both the 2024 and 2025 models are on sale.

If you opt for the more expensive 2025 edition, you'll get an improved AI-powered processor and better backlighting for deeper blacks and improved contrast. The 55-inch 2025 Frame TV dropped by an extra $40 between Oct. 7 and Oct. 8, dropping it more comfortably under $1,000.

Amazon Echo Show 8

Amazon just previewed its new generation of more advanced (and more expensive) Echo Show devices, so take advantage of this sale on the smart displays. Amazon is likely clearing the way for its new devices, but this model gives you all the necessary functionality and cross-device support you really need.

Shark vacuums

I have a small army of robot vacuums and stick vacuums in my apartment at any given time, and since I live in New York City, space is at a premium. That means I have high standards for my cleaning machines, and Shark's underrated (and affordably priced) vacuums have always impressed me.

• These October Prime Day earbuds deals are giving the July sale a run for its money
• I'm a pro vacuum tester, and all of my favorite robot vacuums are on sale for October Prime Day

JBL party speakers

I've been testing party speakers for Mashable for years, and JBL consistently outperforms so-called premium brands. The JBL Flip 6 is actually my most-recommended speaker, and we've also tested and loved the brand's new boombox-style Party Box. Both are on sale for Prime Day.

DJI Smartphone Gimbal

I've tested a few smartphone gimbals, and DJI makes the best one by far. It's deceptively simple to use and provides pro-level stabilization and face tracking. If you're a creator (or aspiring creator), then this gimbal is a must-have IMO. I'm keeping a close eye on the top Prime Day deals on DJI products, so keep checking back for more savings.

Affordable smart TVs under $300

Any Prime Day is one of the best times to buy a new TV, and Prime Big Deal Days is already delivering major doorbuster deals on budget TVs. You can find 50-, 55-, and 65-inch flatscreens for under $300 this year, including 4K smart TVs and Fire TVs from Roku, Hisense, and Toshiba.

Less-affordable (but much more awesome) QLED and OLED TVs

My favorite TV brand for the past few years has been Samsung, which makes impressive QLED, OLED, and art TVs. And I wouldn't even consider buying one unless it was Prime Day or Black Friday. This premium QLED smart TV is on sale for $350 off its retail price for a limited time. Equipped with Samsung's latest AI processor, this 2025 model TV offers incredible value at this price point.

An easy upgrade for your 'dumb' TV

If the built-in apps on your TV have gotten frustratingly slow, the Fire TV Stick 4K is the easiest fix in tech. For less than $25, you can make any TV smarter and faster. This latest model supports all the key formats (4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+) and has WiFi 6 for smoother streaming. The Alexa voice remote is also surprisingly good at finding what you want to watch. It's one of those classic Prime Day doorbuster deals I recommend to everyone.

Samsung monitors

Whether you need a compact second monitor for your home office or a premium gaming monitor, Samsung always offers fantastic monitor deals during big sales. For home offices, I'd recommend the bevel-less 22-inch business monitor, which is a steal at its current price. And for gamers, the Odyssey line of monitors offers stunning visuals and cutting-edge display specs.

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 300

I love Jackery's products. The brand's popular portable power stations are a staple at campgrounds and music festivals, but they can also give you a much-needed power-up during blackouts. While this is the older version of the Jackery Explorer series, I've never seen it priced this low before.

A hip foldable flip phone

Earlier this year, I said 2025 was the year the foldable phone became a smart option for everyday users, not just early adopters. Personally, I prefer the convenient size and form factor of the smaller flip-style foldables.

As much as I love the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 released over the summer, I actually think people have been sleeping on the Motorola Razr Ultra. If you want flagship-quality in a flip phone, this stylish smartphone has a lot to offer. It has an insane battery life and is packed with AI features, if that's your thing. Plus, it comes with 512GB of memory, compared to the Z Flip 7's starting memory of 128GB. For a limited time, save $300 on both of these unlocked smartphones.

Beats headphones and earbuds

Amazon promised big savings on both Beats and Bose headphones this year, and the retailer delivered. This year, you can grab big discounts of 25% or more on some of my favorite wireless headphones, including Beats. I'm a big fan of the Beats Fit Pro in particular, as they're the best workout earbuds you can buy for under $200.

A super-fast memory card for your Switch or drone

Your new Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or DJI drone is going to need more storage, and Prime Day is the absolute best time to buy a memory card. My go-to is always the Samsung EVO Select line — they're fast, reliable, and this deal on the 512GB model is a fantastic value. Don't skimp and get a smaller card; you'll thank me later when you don't have to constantly delete games or 4K drone footage.

Latest Updates

Amazon has a hefty selection of budget-friendly 4K TVs on sale for October Prime Day. Especially of note for apartments or bedrooms, the cheapest 50-inch TV is a Toshiba C350 Fire TV for $189.99 — nearly a 50% price drop from its usual $349.99.
