Mashable's tech editor recommends tech deals to shop before the end of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days. Save on Apple, Beats, Shark, Samsung, and Bose gadgets.
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT (or 2:59 a.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 time to 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. These are the best last-chance deals to snag before Prime Big Deal Days ends.
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. For a similar alternative, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 has 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.
