The top tech Prime Day deals to shop on day two

Tech gadgets, including an e-reader, on a blue-and-white background.

Welcome to day two of Amazon’s four-day Prime Day event, which, if we’re being honest, looks a lot like day one. That’s actually good news, though, because many of the best deals are still around, and some new ones have joined them. If you’ve got a Prime subscription, whether through a free trial or a discounted student membership, you’ll find our favorite deals below.

Not every Prime Day deal deserves your attention, so we’ve filled this guide with products we know and genuinely like. Our team has spent years living with, testing, and comparing everything from robot vacuums and TVs to headphones and smart home gadgets, and the deals below are the ones we can confidently vouch for. We’ve also sprinkled in matching prices from retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target whenever we find them, so you don’t necessarily need a Prime membership to save.

If you’re shopping for something specific, we’ve got dedicated roundups covering Apple gear, budget-friendly picks, smart home devices, TVs, and much more. We’ll also be updating this guide throughout the day as new deals pop up and old ones disappear, so check back occasionally.


Smart home deals

Echo Show 8 (2025)

The updated Echo Show 8 features an 8.7-inch display with 720p resolution, wider viewing angles, and higher contrast. It includes a 13-megapixel camera, new stereo speakers, and supports Alexa Plus, while doubling as a smart home hub with support for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • Amazon’s Echo Show 11 is on sale for $149.99 ($80 off) at Amazon, which marks its best price to date. It’s almost identical to the Echo Show 8, except that it offers a larger and sharper 1080p resolution.
  • You can buy the latest Echo Show 5 for $59.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which is one of its better prices in recent months though $20 shy of its all-time low. The smart display also works with Alexa Plus, but it’s smaller than the Echo Show 8 with less robust sound, and better suited for small table tops or office desks.

Philips Hue smart bulb starter kit

The Philips Hue smart bulb starter kit comes with color-changing bulbs with 800 lumens of peak brightness that can be controlled with Alexa, Google Assistant, or the companion app. The included Hue Bridge lets you set custom lighting routines and expand your setup to 50 lights.

  • If you like the idea of the Philips Hue portable smart lamp but want something cheaper, Govee’s Table Lamp Classic is down to a new low of $55.99 ($25 off) at Amazon. The rechargeable lamp isn’t weather-resistant, but it offers up to 30 hours of battery life, adjustable color temperatures, and dozens of preset scenes and colorful lighting effects.

The latest Blink Video Doorbell is a nice step up from its predecessor, offering a 1080p head-to-toe view and more accurate motion alerts. The second-gen model promises up to two years of battery life, while an infrared night vision mode allows you to get a beat on visitors when it’s dark outside.

The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite.

Where to Buy:

  • Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (its moniker for the 32GB version that supports wireless charging and has an auto-adjusting front light) is down to its best-ever price when purchased as a bundle. The “Essentials Bundle” that includes the e-reader, a leather cover, and a wireless charging dock is $257.97 ($132 off) at Amazon. The 16GB version that lacks the Signature features but includes the leather cover is $182.97 at Amazon. Read our review.

Headphone and earbud deals

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:

  • Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are selling for $198 at Amazon, which is the retailer’s best price yet. The set debuted for $399.99 and only really started dropping in price when its successor was released. While the XM6 gets the edge in terms of sound quality, comfort, and for having a foldable design, the XM5 are still fantastic — arguably the best over-ear headphones you can get at this price.

AirPods Max 2

Apple’s over-ears retain the premium design of the original while delivering improved sound quality and noise cancellation. They also sport Apple’s H2 chip, which enables newer features like live translation. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

The second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation currently available in a pair of true wireless earbuds. They’re a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones are selling for $379, one of their best prices yet, at Amazon. Originally $449, the noise-canceling headphones boast improved battery life with ANC switched on (up to 30 hours per charge), plus the ability to play lossless audio via their USB-C port, just like the AirPods Max 2.

Pixel Buds 2a

Google’s latest pair of wireless earbuds feature crisp sound quality, a comfortable design, and solid active noise cancellation, which is great considering the budget-friendly price tag. They even offer built-in support for Gemini and, unlike the entry-level AirPods, a purple option! Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The original Pixel Buds A are still around and kicking, and still a fine deal if you just want the basics. They’re on sale for just $49 ($50 off) at Amazon. Read our review.
  • JBL might not be the first brand you associate with great over-ear noise-canceling headphones, but its Tour One M3 Smart Tx are a sleeper hit that’s currently down to its best price yet at Amazon. You can grab them for $249.95, which is $200 off their original price. They’re comfortable, and they sound great. But what sets them apart from competitors is the Auracast-compatible audio transmitter that lets the headphones connect to (and share) audio with other Auracast devices.

AirPods Pro 3

The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors. Read our review.

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.

Where to Buy:

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

The OpenRun Pro 2 are Shokz’s best bone conduction headphones yet, with better sound and more bass than their predecessor. Our reviewer Victoria Song praised their cozy fit as well as their USB-C charging (goodbye, proprietary charger!). Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Shokz OpenFit 2 Plus

  • The Apple Watch Series 11 has dropped to $279 in the 42mm GPS configuration (originally $399) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $20 lower than it has previously sold for. $299 has been the normal sale price for the past few months, but those patiently waiting for another price drop have been rewarded. If you want the larger 46mm GPS model, that’s down to $309 at Amazon and Walmart, which is another new low.

It delivers up to 42 hours of battery life — six hours more than its predecessor — and features a larger wide-angle OLED display with a refresh rate that goes down to just 1Hz for battery savings, plus slimmer bezels. It also supports both satellite connectivity and 5G. Read our review.
  • Google’s Pixel Watch 4 has gotten discounts in both 41mm and 45mm sizes, whether you want the basic Wi-Fi/GPS feature offering, or you want to upgrade to the model that supports LTE.

Fitbit Ace LTE

The Ace LTE sports some of the same hardware found on the Google Pixel Watch 2 and a variety of step-activated games, which can help motivate your child to keep moving.

You can download more games, including titles featuring popular characters like Elmo, with a paid Play Pass subscription.

Where to Buy:

  • OLED gaming monitors that offer super-fast refresh rates are cheaper than usual during Prime Day, and several of them are from Asus. The company’s Strix XG27ACDNG 26.5-inch 1440p QD-OLED with a 360Hz refresh rate is down to $534 at Amazon. Its previous best price was $599.99, and it didn’t come around often. The next step up is the Swift PG27AQDP WOLED 1440p monitor with 480Hz refresh rate. It costs $664 during Prime Day at Amazon, down from around $800. Finally, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM, a 4K QD-OLED with a 240Hz refresh rate, is $934 at Amazon — its best price yet that’s $265 off its original price.

Where to Buy:

Meta Quest 3S

If you bought a Meta Quest 2, you’re a prime candidate for the Quest 3S. It’s a faster, more comfortable VR headset that runs the same chipset as the pricier Quest 3. While its screen resolution hasn’t improved, nearly everything else about the hardware has. Read our review.

Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition

The Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the same technical enhancements as Breath of the Wild, but they’re more welcome here because the game struggled to run a bit on the original Switch. The game is set in the same environment as its predecessor, but Hyrule is more dense, so there’s even more to explore. Your physics-based powers help a lot with traversal. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for the Nintendo Switch 2 is down to $44.99 in physical cartridge format at Amazon, down from $69.99. It’s the biggest deal we’ve seen yet for the Switch 2 version of the game. Previously, we’d seen $40 deals for the original Switch version, but to unlock faster loading and better graphics, Switch 2 owners would have to pay $10 for the upgrade pack.

Resident Evil Requiem

Where to Buy:

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta is a ground-up remake of the 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3. It features completely revamped visuals and modern controls, so moving Snake through the jungle feels just as smooth as it did in 2015’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It retains the original plot and performances, along with various cutscenes, levels, and other gameplay elements. Read our review.

It’s fairly common to find semi-affordable QD-OLED gaming monitors, but W-OLEDs are slightly more rare in the sub-$500 range. The MO27Q28GR features a 280Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, built-in KVM, HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C connectivity, and more.

Where to Buy:

Acer Predator 26.5-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor

Lego deals

Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer

Lego’s brick-ified replica of an Imperial Star Destroyer is an excellent 1,555-piece throwback to Star Wars: A New Hope, one that comes with seven minifigs, plenty of interior detail, and a convenient handle for carrying it around the room.

Where to Buy:

  • The Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship has dropped to $97.99 ($42 off) at Amazon, which is its best price of the year and only $2 more than its all-time low. The 1,083-piece building set comes with five minifigures, including the likes of Chancellor Palpatine and Padmé Amidala, along with features like dual pilot cockpits, stud shooters, adjustable cannons, and an opening cabin with space for troops and gear.
  • You can buy the Lego Robot World Roller-Coaster Park on sale for $69.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which matches its best price to date. The 986-piece set comes with everything you need to build a robot-themed roller coaster, including eight mini-figures, a detachable mech action figure, and accessories like toy cell phones.

Where to Buy:

  • The Lego Wild Animals: Majestic Rhino with Birds set is down to $41.99 ($18 off) at Amazon, which also matches its record low price. The 780-piece set lets you build one of three posable animals from the African savannah— a rhino with colorful birds, a hippo, or a walrus — and includes accessories like fish for the walrus display.
  • If you’d rather not be tied to a specific build, the 790-piece Lego Classic Large Creative Brick Box is on sale for $33.49 ($26 off) at Amazon, which is $10 shy of its all-time low and one of the better prices we’ve seen this year. It comes with bricks in 33 colors, along with windows, doors, wheels, and baseplates, so you can build everything from houses and vehicles to animals.

Lego Botanicals Flower Bouquet Building Set

The 756-piece set features a bouquet of buildable flowers, including roses, poppies, daisies, asters, and more. It also includes posable leaves and 15 adjustable stems.

It’s on sale for $8.79 ($7 off) at Amazon and Target, which is $2 shy of its best price to date.
  • Lego’s Lotus Flowers set is another budget-friendly build, and it’s nearly half off at $7.99 ($7 off) at Amazon, which is its best price of the year. The 220-piece set includes two blooming lotus flowers and a budding flower with pink-and-white petals and long green stems.

Robot vacuum and mop deals

Roborock Saros 20

Roborock’s Saros 20 stands out for its ability to climb tall thresholds, avoid obstacles with impressive accuracy, and clean under low furniture thanks to its slim design. It also combines powerful 36,000Pa suction with great spinning mop pads, which is why we recommend it for homes with multiple floor types and tricky transitions between rooms.

Where to Buy:

Eufy Omni C28

The Eufy Omni C28 combines excellent mopping performance with a small self-cleaning dock that’s well suited for apartments and other smaller spaces. It navigates around furniture and into tight areas with ease, while its roller mop does a great job cleaning hard floors.

Where to Buy:

  • The Roborock Q10 S5 Plus is down to $264.99 ($285 off) at Amazon, which matches its lowest price to date. The Q10 S5 Plus is one of our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum / mop hybrids, combining good AI-powered obstacle avoidance with automatic carpet detection. It also features a vibrating mop that does a solid job scrubbing hard floors while lifting itself over rugs, and the set includes a self-emptying dock for added convenience. It can’t match the suction power or tall threshold-climbing abilities of pricier models like the Saros 20, but this is a good value under $300.
