We’re now in the final hours of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. That means it’s time to squeeze as much value out of your Amazon Prime subscription as you can until Thursday at 3AM ET / 12AM PT, which is when several deals will enter a brief hibernation ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Although things are winding down, many of the best deals remain — which is a good thing, especially if you were taking some time to mull over a big purchase.
As with our initial coverage, we’ve included the best deals we could find on everything from noise-canceling headphones, robot vacuums, and 4K TVs to some unexpected gadgets that might come in handy around the house. 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 $50 smartwatch as we are in a $1,500 OLED TV. If you don’t have Prime yet, you may also be eligible for a free 30-day trial that’ll allow you to shop the event without paying for access.

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 the 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 $250 ($49 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 $71.24 ($59 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.
Beats Studio Pro
The latest Beats Studio Pro feature improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. They also support lossless audio over USB-C, making them the first Apple headphones to do so. Read our review.

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 $52.24 ($47 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 $37.04 (about $33 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.

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.

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:
- If you’re in the market for a power station that’s somewhat portable, consider Anker’s Solix C200X. It’s a 230.4Wh charger with a shoulder strap and integrated handle that costs $160.65 during Prime Big Deal Days (it usually sells for $189). This model sports three USB-C ports, two of which support 140W two-way charging. It has three AC outlets, capable of 300W output.
