AI Summary22 min read
TL;DR
Amazon's October Prime Day offers top deals on tested tech like headphones, chargers, and smartwatches. Prices may beat July's sale, but waiting for Black Friday risks shortages or tariffs. An active Prime subscription is required.
Key Takeaways
- •Deals include discounted headphones, chargers, smartwatches, and more, with many products tested by experts.
- •Some gadgets are cheaper than during July's Prime Day, rewarding those who waited, but future price drops aren't guaranteed.
- •Potential risks include limited holiday stock and tariff impacts, so it's wise to buy now if interested.
- •An Amazon Prime subscription is necessary to access these deals, with a free trial available for new users.
Editor’s note: This post highlights the biggest day one deals from Amazon’s sale. We’re leaving this post behind in favor of our new one focusing on the best day two deals. As such, this post will no longer receive updates.
Amazon’s October Prime Day sale (aka Prime Big Deal Days) is finally here, and we’ve collected the best deals we could find on everything from noise-canceling headphones and robot vacuums to 4K OLED TVs. The majority of our recommendations have been thoroughly tested by Verge writers and editors, and we are just as confident in our recommendations for a $25 Bluetooth speaker as we are in a $780 smartwatch. Some of these gadgets are available for less than they were during Amazon’s most recent Prime Day sale in July, so your patience has been rewarded if you sat the last one out.
By that logic, it might be tempting to wait until Black Friday for an even better deal, but there’s no guarantee prices will drop further. Some gadgets may be in short supply come the holidays, and the impact of tariffs could lead to deal prices that don’t align with your expectations. So if you’re jumping in below, remember that you need an active Amazon Prime subscription. (Here’s a free 30-day trial if you don’t have one yet.)

Headphone and earbud deals
Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Bose’s QuietComfort Headphones, which replace the QuietComfort 45, have adjustable noise cancellation and the ability to set custom modes. However, they lack immersive audio mode and the higher-quality Bluetooth found in the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones.
Where to Buy:
Sonos Ace
The Sonos Ace are the company’s first set of wireless headphones. They feature a premium, comfortable build and active noise cancellation, along with compatibility with Sonos Arc and other Sonos soundbars. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds are back down to $199 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches their most recent Prime Day low. The earbuds clip onto the back of your ear instead of inside it, so you can still clearly hear what’s happening around you in addition to your music. You sacrifice bass in the process, but the design is particularly good for runners who want to remain aware of their surroundings. They’re also comfortable to wear, provide a secure fit during workouts, and offer solid battery life. Read our review.
- You can get Nothing’s Headphones 1 for a new low of $254 ($46 off) at Amazon. The newer headphones feature a 1980s Walkman-like look, with transparent ear cups that show the components underneath. Our reviewer found them to be less fatiguing to wear than Sony’s over-ear headphones, and their ANC was capable of blocking out subway noises and other city sounds. They don’t support multipoint pairing, sadly, so they can only be connected to one device at a time. You also can’t use its 3.5mm headphone jack if the headphones’ battery is dead. Read our review.
- The Galaxy Buds FE, which offer a pared-down experience compared to the step-up Buds 3 Pro, are matching their all-time low of $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon. For the price, you get decent sound, a comfortable design, and noise cancellation that performs relatively well. They also offer around six hours of battery life with ANC enabled. That said, they lack several notable features, including wireless charging and multipoint support, and only carry an IPX2 rating. Read our review.
AirPods 4
Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to the company’s base-model wireless earbuds. The hard, plastic buds feature improved audio over the third-gen model, along with deep iOS integration and spatial audio with head tracking. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Bose’s headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 and offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Sony WH-1000XM6
Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5. Read our initial impressions.
Where to Buy:
- We can still enthusiastically recommend Sony’s WH-1000XM5 for anyone in need of a pair for travel, and they’re currently on sale for $298 ($100 off) at Amazon. The headphones feature a slim design, two processors for handling active noise cancellation, eight microphones (four for voice calls), and 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled. They also sound excellent, with lots of detail and tight bass. They don’t fold down, though, so keep that in mind if you travel or commute with a smaller backpack. Read our review.
- If you don’t like the sealed feeling of silicone ear tips, the AirPods 4 with ANC are a great alternative that are currently matching their all-time low of $119 ($60 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The wireless earbuds feature an open-ear design and some of the AirPods Pro’s best features, including adaptive audio, conversation awareness, and spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. Their ANC performs surprisingly well despite their open-style build, too, helping block low-frequency noise from airplane cabins and city traffic. Read our review.
- The Sennheiser IE 200 are on sale for $99.95 ($60 off) at Amazon, which is basically the same price we saw in July. Although the earbuds ditch Bluetooth for a more reliable wired connection, they still feature adjustable ear hooks and a detachable braided cable, which is easy to replace if it becomes worn out. A “dual-tunable” design also allows you to adjust the position of the ear tips, allowing you to fine-tune the sound profile depending on your preferences. The IE 200 don’t feature a built-in mic, though, which means they’re strictly for listening to music and podcasts. Read our review.
Nothing Ear (a)
Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same stylish, semi-transparent design as the company’s other earbuds — but these come in a snazzy yellow. They combine decent ANC, enjoyable sound, and other features like multipoint for under $100.
Where to Buy:
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
Significantly smaller and lighter than their predecessors, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 also offer stronger noise cancellation, a crystal clear transparency mode, and lengthy battery life. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (second-gen)
Bose’s redesigned QuietComfort Earbuds deliver terrific active noise cancellation that outperforms most competitors. They also offer wireless charging and multipoint support right out of the box. Read hands-on impressions.
Where to Buy:
- The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are on sale at Amazon $74.99 ($55 off), matching their previous all-time low. The newer earbuds use licensed technology and audio tuning by Bose, so they’re basically low-end Bose earbuds in disguise. That means you can expect a well-balanced sound, along with up to 40 hours of battery life, decent noise cancellation, and IPX4 water resistance.
- The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $179.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is similar to the price we saw during Amazon’s July Prime Day sale. Samsung’s flagship earbuds may not win any design awards, but they offer excellent sound quality, a crisp transparency mode, and useful hands-free voice support. While the earbuds offer decent sound and some great features, the active noise cancellation isn’t as robust as what you get from the AirPods Pro or Pixel Buds Pro 2. Read our review.
Amazon Echo Buds (2023)
Amazon’s newest Echo Buds lack noise cancellation but feature a semi-open design that should make it easier to remain aware of your surroundings. They also integrate with Alexa and support multipoint pairing.
Where to Buy:
AirPods Max (USB-C)
Apple’s AirPods Max offer a premium metal design, excellent noise cancellation, a crystal-clear transparency mode, and intuitive controls. They were upgraded with a USB-C port in 2024. Read our original review.
Where to Buy:
Charger and cable deals
Baseus Free2Pull Retractable USB-C Cable 100W
Baseus’ slick USB-C charger supports 100W passthrough and takes a puck-like form when not in use, with male connectors on either side that retract inward with a quick tug.
Where to Buy:
Iniu Pocket Rocket P50 Power Bank (10,000mAh)
Iniu’s Pocket Rocket P50 Power Bank is a three-port USB charger not much bigger than the AirPods Pro case. It’s capable of fully recharging an iPhone 16 twice. It supports charging speeds of up to 45W via a USB-C port, which can deliver fast recharging for a range of gadgets.
Where to Buy:
Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe
Twelve South’s 3-in-1 charging stand offers full 15W MagSafe iPhone charging and can simultaneously top off a set of AirPods while fast-charging a compatible Apple Watch. It also includes a power supply (with travel adapters) to deliver enough juice over its 5-foot / 1.5m USB cable.
Where to Buy:
- If you don’t have an Apple Watch, Belkin’s MagSafe 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand is a great alternative to the charger above, one that’s currently matching its all-time low of $54.99 ($45 off) at Amazon. It also supports 15W magnetic charging and features a smaller wireless pad on its base, allowing you to charge a pair of wireless earbuds. The magnetic pad on the top is tilted at an angle, too, making it easy to check your iPhone’s screen at a glance or start a video call.
- Twelve South’s 50W PlugBug, which features a pair of USB-C ports, is down to $38.99 ($31 off) at Amazon, matching its best price to date. The charger’s built-in support for Apple’s Find My network makes it a particularly good choice if you travel frequently and want to ensure you don’t accidentally leave your charger behind at an airport or hotel room. It’s also relatively compact, featuring foldable prongs and a slim profile that makes it easy to slip into your bag.
Belkin USB-C to USB-C Cable
These braided USB-C cables from Belkin are durable and support 100W charging speeds, allowing for quick charging of laptops, tablets, smartphones, and portable game consoles.
Where to Buy:
Anker Laptop Power Bank (25K, 165W, Built-in and Retractable Cables)
Anker’s 25,000mAh power bank sports two built-in USB-C cables (one of which is retractable), plus one USB-C and USB-A port. It tops out at 165W when charging two devices simultaneously, or 130W when charging three or four.
Where to Buy:
- If you don’t mind toting around a slightly chunkier charger, Ugreen’s 100W Nexode Charger is another traveler-friendly option that’s marked down to $44.98 ($11 off) at Amazon. It’s outfitted with a 29.5-inch retractable cable — so you never have to worry about leaving your cord at home — along with two USB-C ports and a USB-A port, so you can charge up to three additional devices simultaneously.
Ugreen Portable Charger (48K, 300W, 5-Port)
Ugreen’s portable, 48,000mAh battery can charge a smartphone or tablet several times over; it also features an array of convenient ports and a nifty light strip on the side, which you can use during camping trips or anytime you power up your gadgets outside.
Where to Buy:
Ugreen Uno Charger (65W, 3-Port)
Ugreen’s 65W Uno charger features two USB-C ports and a single USB-A port, allowing you to charge three devices simultaneously. It also sports a quirky LED display that showcases different faces depending on the charging status.
Where to Buy:
- Baseus’ Ultra-Slim Magnetic Power Bank, which is a cable-free way to charge your iPhone at up to 7.5W, is on sale at Amazon for $19.99 ($16 off), matching its all-time low. Its 20W USB-C port lets you take an iPhone’s battery from 0 to 55 percent in 30 minutes if you plug in using the included braided cable.
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2
Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 can output up to 1,500W, which is enough to run a mini fridge or recharge a smartphone dozens of times. It also boasts an array of ports — including three AC outlets, two USB-C ports, and one USB-A port — allowing you to charge multiple gadgets simultaneously.
Where to Buy:
Ecoflow Delta Pro
The Delta Pro is a heavy-duty power station, with four outlets, up to 3,600W of AC output, and the option to top it off with solar panels. The retractable handle and wheels also make it easier to move the 99-pound battery around your campsite or home.
Where to Buy:
Smartwatch and fitness tracker deals
Amazfit Active 2
The Amazfit Active 2 delivers outsized value for the price. It looks spiffy and has a wide array of health tracking features, plus built-in GPS and AI chatbots to provide extra context to your data. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Fitbit Charge 6
The Fitbit Charge 6 features a haptic side button, an improved heart rate algorithm, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, and the ability to broadcast your heart rate on certain Bluetooth gym equipment. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- The Fitbit Inspire 3 is a budget-friendly fitness band that’s on sale for $79.95 ($20 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. It features a slim OLED display, offers up to three days of battery life, and can be easily detached from its band and clipped onto your clothes if you prefer not to wear it on your wrist. It can track your activity, heart rate, and sleep, though heart rate tracking is unavailable when it’s clipped on. If you subscribe to Fitbit Premium ($9.99 a month / $79.99 a year), you’ll also get access to Daily Readiness Score and stress tracking. Read our hands-on impressions.
- The Fitbit Ace LTE, one of the best smartwatches for kids, has fallen to a new low of $119.95 ($40 off) at Amazon. The Ace LTE lets a kid call or text a specified group of up to 20 contacts, while allowing parents to track their child’s location. However, you’ll need an active cellular subscription ($9.99 a month or $119.99 a year) to access calling, texting, and GPS functionality. The watch also has a set of preloaded games that encourage kids to be active and hit a specified step / movement goal.
Google Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi)

Where to Buy:
Amazfit Band 7
The Amazfit Band 7 is an unassuming, basic fitness tracker with a bright OLED display, long battery life, and an incredible feature set for the price. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 is still one of our top smartwatch recommendations, one that’s available for an all-time low of $189.99 ($110 off) at Amazon. We found the Android watch to be comfortable and a solid all-around choice, thanks to its snappy performance. The single-day battery life was acceptable, although it can be extended by disabling the always-on display and GPS. Also, be aware that its sleep apnea tracking requires you to use it with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Read our review.
- CMF’s Watch Pro 2 is surprisingly robust for a smartwatch that’s on sale for $49 ($30 off) at Amazon. The watch touts an OLED display, GPS tracking, and 120 sports modes with automatic recognition for accurately tracking your workouts. The Watch Pro 2 can track your activity, sleep patterns, heart rate, and blood oxygen level, and sync fitness data to the Apple Health or Google Health Connect app. CMF says the battery lasts up to 11 days, too, so you won’t have to think about charging it every night.

Google Pixel 9A
The Pixel 9A adds more robust water resistance and a brighter, bigger screen to what was already a winning formula for a good midrange phone. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 comes with improved water resistance, support from all three major US wireless carriers, and a strong software policy. Coupled with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and multi-day battery life, it’s an impressive high-end Android phone. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
- You can pick up the OnePlus 12 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage directly from OnePlus for $599.99 ($300 off) when you use promo code LASTCALL at checkout. The last-gen phone has excellent battery life and a vibrant 6.8-inch 120Hz display with peak brightness of 4,500 nits. The biggest hardware feature you miss compared to the OnePlus 13 is durability, as this model has an IP65 rating, which means it’s only water resistant. The phone will also receive fewer years of software support Read our review.
- Samsung Galaxy A56 has returned to its all-time low of $449.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The midrange Android phone comes with a 6.7-inch OLED display, 128GB of storage, fast charging up to 45W, and an IP67 rating. Its triple-lens rear camera system includes a 50-megapixel wide-angle, and the A56 supports several AI photo enhancement features — including Object Eraser, which lets you edit out unwanted elements from your photos.
- You can buy the new Apple iPhone Air Case with MagSafe for $37 ($13 off) at Amazon, which marks a new low price. The translucent, MagSafe-compatible case is designed to protect the 6.5-inch Air from drops and scratches with a polycarbonate frame and a new button design made to accommodate the volume and side buttons. It’s also compatible with Apple’s Camera Control feature and includes two built-in connection points for attaching Apple’s Crossbody Strap.
- The new Apple iPhone 17 Clear Case with MagSafe is also down to a new low of $37 ($13 off) at Amazon. Like the aforementioned iPhone Air case, it features a polycarbonate frame, room for the volume and side buttons, and support for Apple’s Camera Control feature. However, it’s specifically designed for the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 and won’t fit the smallest (or biggest) iPhone 17 models.
Nothing Phone 3
The flagship-ish Nothing Phone 3 boasts a large battery, fast charging, and one of the most distinctive designs available in a phone right now. Read our review.
Where to Buy:
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is still one of the best phones you can buy, even if its “Ultra”-ness is a little diminished. Two telephotos, a built-in stylus, and a big screen are the main attractions. Read our review.
