And if you’re searching for a highly capable fitness tracker that won’t set you back hundreds, our top budget-friendly pick, the Amazfit Active 2, offers built-in GPS and offline maps and more for just $79.99.
From streaming sticks and Bluetooth speakers to smart home gadgets and chargers, we’ve rounded up the very best Prime Day tech deals under $100. Many match or beat previous all-time lows, and you don’t always need a Prime membership to take advantage of them. So if you’re looking to stretch your dollar without sacrificing quality, let’s dive in.
Headphone and earbud deals
$89
Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to its base-model wireless earbuds. The hard plastic buds should have improved audio quality and spatial audio with head tracking for the first time. Read our review.
- The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are a decent-sounding pair of earbuds with ANC, and are down to a new low of $52.24 (about $48 off) at Amazon. The entry-level earbuds offer reliable performance and satisfactory sound — especially at this price — though they lack wireless charging, multipoint support, and some of the newer frills found on Samsung’s flagship earbuds. That said, they also come with a pair of silicone “wings” to help them stay firmly planted in place, which some considered a hallmark of prior models. Read our review.
- Other than the Beats Studio Buds Plus above, there aren’t a ton of reputable wireless earbuds that rely on a see-through design. The newer WF-C710N do, however, and they’ve reached a new low price of $78 ($41 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. What’s more, the budget-minded earbuds also borrow some tricks from Sony’s pricier earbuds, including improved noise cancellation and battery life, an automatic pause feature, and touch buttons that allow you to control playback without whipping out your phone.
$69
Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.
- Sony’s Float running headphones are on sale for $78 ($51 off) at Amazon, which is a new all-time low. The Float represent Sony’s take on open-ear headphones, and while we haven’t had a chance to test them (yet), they seem to offer similar features to their like-minded rivals, including IPX4 water resistance, USB-C charging, and generous ear hooks that are designed to keep them firmly in place while you run.
- The new Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are $75.99 ($54 off) at Amazon for Prime Day, which marks a new low price. They’re basically a pair of low-end Bose earbuds in disguise — hell, they even use licensed technology and audio tuning by Bose — which means they offer well-balanced sound, solid battery life, and a number of great features for the price. They also block noise more effectively than previous Skullcandy offerings and come in an array of fun colors, including a chic leopard print.
$98
With lossless USB-C audio, 50 hours of battery life, Find My support, spatial audio, and comfy ear cups, the Beats Solo 4 gained significant quality-of-life improvements over their eight-year-old predecessors. They still deliver that bass-rich Beats sound, too. Read our review.
- If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, the Sony WH-CH520 are down to around $38 ($22 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, matching their all-time low. The on-ear headphones deliver up to 50 hours of battery life, making them perfect for long flights or road trips across the country. They also boast a built-in mic for making hands-free calls and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to connect them to two devices simultaneously.
- The CMF Buds Pro 2 are available starting at $47 ($22 off) from Amazon and Nothing, matching their best price to date. The inexpensive buds come loaded with features, including active noise cancellation, ChatGPT integration, and up to 6.5 hours of continuous playback with ANC enabled. They also come with a case that features a customizable smart dial, allowing you to adjust the volume, control noise cancellation, and mute your mic during meetings.
- Amazon’s latest Echo Buds are down to just $19.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which is their best price to date. The entry-level buds skip active noise cancellation but make up for it with comfortable semi-open design and surprisingly decent sound for the price. With support for Amazon Alexa and multipoint Bluetooth pairing, they’re a great pick if you want a straightforward pair of water resistant earbuds that just work.
$32
The fifth-gen Echo Dot touts a temperature sensor, better sound, and faster response time than the prior model. It can also act as an extender for your Eero Wi-Fi system. Read our review.
$45
Amazon’s Echo Spot smart speaker / alarm clock has a 2.83-inch squared-off display for showing the time, weather, music playback, and other bits of info you may want at your bedside. Unlike the original Spot, there’s no camera to worry about having in your bedroom — though it does have a mutable microphone for Alexa voice controls. Read our review.
- One of the best-looking Bluetooth speakers around is the second-gen Bose SoundLink Flex, which is on sale for an all-time low of $99 ($50 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. It’s a long-lasting, rugged (IP67) option, in case you’re sifting through what you might buy for your future outdoor escapades. It can stand on its own or you can sling it onto a strong carabiner using its built-in loop.
- Thanks to Prime Day, Amazon’s slick Echo Pop smart speaker is down to $21.99 (nearly 50 percent off) at Amazon. It’s available in four colors (black, grey, purple, and teal), and select designs of the Kids version — which comes with parental controls and six months of Amazon Kids Plus— are also discounted to $21.99.
$98
The 2024 Beats Pill offers improved sound, USB-C, and native support for Find My and voice assistants on both iOS and Android. It also bests the previous model with double the battery life (24 hours) and IP67 water resistance. Read our review.
- The UE Wonderboom is on sale for $47.49 ($42 off) at Amazon, bringing it down to an all-time low. The portable Bluetooth speaker delivers big bass in a form factor that’s about the size of a softball. However, despite its compact design, it offers up to 10 hours of continuous playback and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, making it well-suited for lazy days at the pool. The UE Wonderboom is also available at Best Buy for $49.99, just a few bucks more than the Amazon discount.
- The UE Miniroll Ultra is also discounted to $47.49 ($32 off) at Amazon, the lowest price we’ve seen on the compact Bluetooth speaker. Currently, it’s the smallest offered by Ultimate Ears, yet it doesn’t skip on features. It delivers a robust 12 hours of continuous playback, along with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. It’s small enough to throw in a hip bag, too, and can be clipped to everything from your shower head and backpack to the handlebars on your bicycle, allowing for ultimate portability. It’s also available at Best Buy for $49.99, only a few bucks more.
- Air quality is important, and it’s nice to have a reading that’s more local than what your phone gives you for your neighborhood. For a granular look at the air quality in your home, you can snag Amazon’s aptly titled Air Quality Monitor, which is currently matching its all-time low of $44.99 ($25 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. Read our review.
- The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam with Ring Pet Tag is down to $44.99 ($45 off) at Amazon, a new low price. The indoor camera can pan 360 degrees and tilt up and down, eliminating blind spots. It supports customizable motion zones, a privacy cover, and a live view to see what’s happening in real time. The pet tag, meanwhile, attaches to your pet’s collar and links to a digital profile anyone can access via a QR code.
- Prime members can snag Govee’s slick RGBIC floor lamp for a mere $59.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, which matches its previous low. This thin, futuristic lamp is ideal for corners, as it can splash colors onto your walls, syncing with your music, or with a color combo that sets the vibes in the room.
- The Ring Indoor Cam doesn’t offer the panning and tilting of the pan-tilt model, but it’s still a solid way to keep an eye on your space — and now it has returned to its all-time low price of $29.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. The camera supports motion alerts, 1080p color night vision, and two-way audio. You can also set up customizable motion zones, reducing unnecessary alerts. Like the Ring Pan-Tilt, the Ring Indoor Cam features a rotatable privacy cover for extra peace of mind.
$52
Developed in partnership with Resideo, the Amazon Smart Thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home through Alexa voice controls and remotely via an app. Read our review.
- Blink built its Mini 2 camera to be a great, inexpensive indoor or outdoor camera. By default, it’s an indoor cam, with HD video, color night video, and two-way audio support. It’s a good deal on Amazon right now, too, where you can grab it for $19.99 ($20 off). If you need an outdoor cam, you can grab it with a weather-resistant power adapter for just $10 more (normally $49.98).
- The Blink Outdoor 4 is down to $69.99 ($110 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date. The excellent security camera offers a 1080p live view, infrared night vision, and two-way audio, allowing you to interact with whoever is visiting. It also offers a 143-degree field of view and provides up to two years of continuous battery life, along with a 30-day free trial of a Blink subscription plan for those who want recordings, person detection, and video sharing.
- Amazon is offering the latest Blink Video Doorbell for $29.99 ($40 off), which is an all-time low. The handy buzzer features a wide 150-degree field of view, up to two years of battery life, and two-way audio, so you can greet whoever is at the door. The wire-free design is easy to set up as well, and it’s compatible with a range of Alexa devices. To pull up a live view on an Echo Show, for instance, simply say, “Alexa, show the front door camera.”
- TP-Link’s Kasa smart home brand makes several Matter-ready Wi-Fi plugs, and a two-pack of them is currently available for just $19.99 ($20 off) at Amazon. You can control the plugs from within the Kasa app, or by giving voice commands via Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings.
- The Frameo Digital Photo Frame is down to $39.99 ($3o off) at Amazon, which is a few bucks shy of its lowest price to date. The smart display features a wooden frame and a mat that surrounds its 10.1-inch touchscreen. It includes 16GB of onboard storage as well, allowing you to add thousands of photos through the Frameo app, while an additional microSD slot gives you extra storage for playing or importing your favorite photos.
Smartwatch and fitness tracker deals
$80
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.
$100
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.
- The Fitbit Inspire 3 is on sale for $74.95 ($25 off) at Amazon, which is $5 shy of its best price to date. The comfortable fitness tracker covers all the essential health and fitness metrics you’d expect, while also offering a few premium perks like a bright OLED display, irregular heart rate notifications, and stress management tools. You don’t get contactless payments, built-in GPS, or support for voice assistants, but if you’re looking for a simple and straightforward fitness band, the Inspire 3 is a reliable and accurate pick. Read our hands-on impressions of the Fitbit Inspire 3.
E-readers and tablet deals
- Amazon makes a bunch of different tablets, which are nearly all discounted right now. If you’re looking for an affordable 10-inch tablet for watching movies and TV shows on, the Fire HD 10 tablet is a great, cheap candidate. It’s $69.99 right now at Amazon (originally $139.99).
- The Apple Pencil Pro is down to $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target, which is $10 shy of its all-time low. Apple’s premium stylus packs in advanced creative features missing from the entry-level USB-C model, including pressure sensitivity and a “Barrel Roll” gyroscope, which lets you rotate the stylus as you draw in order to quickly adjust the angle of your digital pen or brush. It also comes with wireless charging, Find My support, and squeeze gestures that let you control smart home devices. That being said, it’s only compatible with the latest iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and M2 or M3 iPad Air models.
- The Apple Pencil (USB-C) is available at Amazon for just $59 ($20 off). That’s one of the best prices we’ve seen on the comfortable Apple stylus, which can magnetically attach to the side of most iPad models from within the past three years or so. It also offers tilt sensitivity, though it lacks the Apple Pencil Pro’s support for pressure sensitivity and wireless charging.
- Amazon is offering three free months of Kindle Unlimited, which normally runs for $11.99 a month. Signing up gives you access to more than four million e-books, along with thousands of audiobooks and digital magazines. If you’ve been on the fence about the service until now, this is the perfect opportunity to see what it’s all about at no cost.
Streaming, movie, and TV shows deals
$84
Google’s excellent TV Streamer 4K is its best attempt at a streaming device yet, offering built-in ethernet along with smart home compatibility with Matter and Thread. Read our review.
- Speaking of the Alexa Voice Remote, you can add the Pro version to your setup for just $24.99 ($10 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The Alexa Voice Remote Pro features customizable buttons, backlighting, and a new remote finder feature, so you can always locate it when it gets lost in the couch cushions. Read our review.
- Parasite, the Best Picture winner at the 2020 Academy Awards, is now available for just $9.99 on 4K Blu-ray at Amazon. The Bong Joon Ho-directed film highlights economic class struggles in a two-hour whirlwind that delivers intimacy, humor, and terror in almost equal parts.
- One of the best cartoons ever made is Batman: The Animated Series. It dominated TVs and store shelves in the ‘90s, and now you can own all 109 episodes (but not the great Mask of the Phantasm film) across 12 discs in this Batman: The Animated Series Blu-ray collection for just $29.99 (usually $50) at Amazon.
- Furiosa: Mad Max Saga is available on 4K Blu-ray at Amazon right now for $12.99 ($21 off). The prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road is no less explosive as it dives into Furiosa’s backstory. It stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. Read our review.
- Robert Egger’s revamped version of Nosferatu is available on 4K Blu-ray for $15.99 (about $25 off) at Amazon. The title is dripping with style, and it effectively brings together elements from the original 1922 film and Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel to great effect. Read our review.
$35
Split Fiction is an excellent, cooperative sci-fi game in which two players must traverse completely different worlds simultaneously, while relying on new powers to help them progress through each stage. Read our review.
$28
Star Wars Outlaws is an original open-world adventure set in the vast universe of the iconic film series. It stars Kay Vess, a protagonist looking to steal from criminal overlords to gain her freedom. A new expansion featuring Lando Calrissian recently launched, alongside an update that improves stealth and some of the game’s most glaring issues. Read our review.
- Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, has been given a small but welcome price cut. Thanks to Prime Day, you can pick up the open-world game set in Feudal Japan for $47.49 (originally $69.99) at Amazon. Read our review.
- Bloober Team knocked it out of the park with its remake of Silent Hill 2 on the PS5. If you scoffed at its original $69.99 price tag, you can currently pick it up for about $39.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Read our review.
- There are few games out there with more heart and soul (and pure silliness) than Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The latest game in the long-running Yakuza-turned-Like a Dragon franchise is on sale for the PS5 for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.
- The version of 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless controller that works with Android and Windows (including the Steam Deck) is down to $62.99 (originally $59.99) at Amazon. Aside from not being able to connect to Nintendo consoles, it’s identical in terms of features to the pricier, made-for-Switch edition.
$45
Princess Zelda’s first solo adventure as a playable character tasks her with saving her people, including Link, who have been taken away through mysterious rifts. Read our review.
- The microSD cards used in the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and the original Nintendo Switch are becoming more and more affordable. For instance, Samsung’s Sonic-emblazoned Pro Plus 512GB microSD card is on sale for $28.49 (about $14 off) at Amazon. If you’d prefer a 1TB version so you won’t have to upgrade any time soon, that’s down to $69.99 (this model has never been cheaper than $89.99).
- One of the best-looking Switch 2 games is Splatoon 3, which recently got an update that makes the game run (and look) better on Nintendo’s new console. If you’ve always wanted to give this one a try, you can pick up a digital or physical copy at Best Buy for $39.99 or Walmart for $39 (typically $59.99). Read about the Switch 2 update.
- If you’re still rocking a Nintendo Switch OLED, the CRKD Nitro Deck is down to an all-time low of $39.89 ($20 off) at Amazon. The console slides into the controller, giving you a more robust handheld experience. The Nitro Deck also features swappable thumbstick toppers, remappable back buttons, and passthrough charging, making it possible to game uninterrupted when connected to a charger.
- Not enough people are still talking about Pikmin 4, the latest entry in Nintendo’s chill (yet often chaotic) exploration game. You navigate through environments, collect and command Pikmin with different elemental abilities and weaknesses, and try to save fellow space cadets from strange happenings. All the while, you’re trying to find Captain Olimar, the protagonist of the original Pikmin game. The Switch title is matching its all-time low of $39.99 ($20 off) right now at Best Buy. Read our review.
$65
Apple’s AirTags are unobtrusive, waterproof, and tap into the massive Find My network for out-of-range locating. Read our original review.
- Alternatively, if you just want a single AirTag, you can buy one for $19.99 ($9 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. That is just $1 shy of its all-time low price and the cheapest we’ve seen it go for since Black Friday.
- You can buy the Pebblebee Card Universal for $24.49 ($10 off) from Amazon. Like the Pebblebee Clip Universal, the tracker is a great AirTag and Tile alternative that works with both Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find My Device networks. However, its slim, credit card-shaped design makes it better suited for slipping into a wallet. As a bonus, it also features a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 18 months, longer than the Clip’s.
- The new Chipolo Pop is now available for $24.65 ($5 off) at Amazon, which is its first discount yet. The colorful Bluetooth tracker is louder than Apple’s AirTag, making it easier to hear when lost. It’s also compatible with either Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find My Device networks, and features a built-in hole for key rings along with a 300-foot Bluetooth range.
- For a portable power bank that matches the design of Anker’s 20,000mAh 737 battery with its display but delivers a substantial amount of power (a combined 130W), there’s Ugreen’s Nexode model, which is currently on sale at Best Buy for just $54.14 ($36 off).
- You can keep your iPhone and AirPods charged with Belkin’s MagSafe 2-in-1 wireless charging stand, which is down to $59.99 ($4o off) at Amazon, nearly matching its best price to date. While similar models from other brands are often cheaper, this one looks better than most, and it hasn’t sunk this low in price since mid-2023. Belkin’s option also includes a power adapter.
- The Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 Max has been one of the most popular products for Verge readers recently. The 4-in-1 car charger can put out a combined 163W of power and features two retractable USB-C cables, plus two USB-A ports. It’s tough not to love, especially at its Amazon price of $29.99 ($20 off).
$19
A compact, flexible Qi2 charger for vent and dash mounting. Read our review.
Other miscellaneous deals
- Lego’s Animal Crossing Fly with Dodo Airlines set is one of the few Lego sets receiving a Prime Day discount at Amazon, where you can currently pick it up for $32.29 ($6 off). The kid-friendly, 292-piece playset is a nice little homage to Animal Crossing New Horizons, especially if your kiddo or someone you know has a soft spot for planes… or extinct, flightless birds.
- Thermacell’s E90 mosquito repeller is down to $17.68 (about $17 off) in its black version at Amazon right now, beating its previous low by $6 or so. It’s similar to the rechargeable E55 — a summer favorite of ours — only the upgraded model provides up to nine hours of continuous protection when used with the included repellent cartridge, as opposed to five. Needless to say, it’s a great pick for the dog days of summer.
- Looking to spruce up your workspace? Yamazaki’s Desk Organizer is available at Amazon for $30.06 (about $12 off), which is one of the better prices we’ve seen in recent months. The handsome, steel accessory is equipped with a small bin and an elevated wooden platform, ensuring your keys, wallet, and whatever else it is you need are always within reach.
- Amazon is offering four free months of Amazon Music Unlimited during Prime Day. The service normally runs for $11.99 a month, saving you about $35 to try out the streaming service. It offers ad-free access to over 100 million songs, audiobooks from Audible, and select ad-free podcasts. Non-Prime members can also take advantage of the deal, but they’ll only get three months for free.
- If you’re an avid concert goer who’d like to retain your hearing later in life — and who wouldn’t? — Loop’s ultra-comfortable Experience 2 earpugs are on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $26.95 ($8 off). The stylish earplugs won’t reduce noise as effectively as a custom set; however, they do carry a noise reduction rating of 12dB, which is totally adequate for that occasional Turnstile set.
- It’s not often enough that Elgato’s composite/S-Video-to-USB converter — perfect for making digital copies of your VHS tapes — goes on sale. But during Prime Day, it’s down to $69.99 (originally $99.99). This is still egregiously expensive, but the company’s simple software makes it standout as a great option for people who aren’t the most literate in gadgetry.
- It’s now easier than ever to plug your DSLR or mirrorless camera into your PC to use as a high-end webcam. Just grab Elgato’s Cam Link 4K, which is down to $79.99 ($20 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. The device converts the HDMI signal coming out of your camera into USB for your PC to process.
- Hoto makes some of the slickest electric tools around, but Fanttik’s are a close second. The E1 Max Precision Electric Screwdriver — available at Amazon for $43.77 ($36 off) for Prime Day — is a great example of why that’s the case. It’s not going to get you a ton of torque, but it features an attractive design, a 350mAh rechargeable battery, and 50 magnetic steel bits that are ideal for tackling small electronics.
- Keurig’s K-Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker is on sale at Amazon for $49.99 ($50 off), matching its best price to date. The K-Cup brewer can only make one 12-ounce cup of coffee at a time, but it’s also small and easy to use — you just need to press a button to brew your coffee.
- Robot vacuums are overrated. Black & Decker’s rechargeable Furbuster — now on sale at Amazon and Chewy for $79.99, its lowest price of the year — is a great handheld alternative that’s well-suited for picking up fur, dirt, and other unwanted debris, especially when you tack on the extra-long crevice tool or the included motorized pet brush.
- Have a Steam Deck, an Asus ROG Ally, or a similar handheld PC that can accept an M.2 2230-sized SSD? WD Black’s 1TB SN770M is discounted to $84.99 at Amazon, down slightly from its previous low of $89.99. Installation procedures vary in steps and complexity depending on the handheld you own.
- One of Logitech’s best Switch 2-ready webcams just received a Prime Day discount. The Brio 500 1080p webcam is currently available at Amazon for $75.99 ($55 off), which is a new low price.
- Parents take note: Tonies Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set is $99.99 ($54 off) at Amazon. The screen-free toy is a speaker that plays sounds or stories when different tonies (statuettes of characters) are placed on top. The statues have a magnetized base, so they’re easy for a kid to place on the right spot. A similar set that includes Belle, Cinderella, and Ariel is $109.99 ($20 off) at Target.
- One of our gift guide mainstays, the six-quart Instant Pot Duo Plus, is discounted to $69.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and Target (with Target Circle membersip) right now, matching its lowest price to date. The stainless steel multicooker is an excellent set-it-and-forget-it device in many ways, as it allows you to steam, sauté, pressure cook, slow cook, and engage in a variety of simple culinary endeavors without having to pony up for a host of kitchen appliances.
- You can buy the 24-ounce Owala FreeSip Water Bottle for $25.49 ($4 off) at Amazon. Thanks to its vacuum-insulated design, it keeps beverages cold for up to 24 hours, and its unique lid offers two ways to drink — through a built-in straw or a wide-mouth opening for bigger gulps.
