Amazon Prime Day 2025 is not your typical two-day sale. This year it’s running for a full four days, from July 8th through July 11th. That means even more time to find deep discounts on gadgets, electronics, and more. But not every “deal” is as good as it looks. Some products get marked down from inflated prices, so you think you’re saving big when you’re not. I’ve been careful to sort out the real bargains from the fake markdowns.
Calm and Confident Shopping: I combed through thousands of offers (across Amazon and competing sales) to pick only the best Prime Day deals. These are the ones that actually offer significant savings on quality products. I’m not here to hype mediocre discounts or trick you with “too good to be true” prices. In fact, many major retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are price-matching Amazon’s deals, so you don’t need to be a Prime member to score a bargain. Below you’ll find a curated list of the top deals I found worthwhile. Each pick is a product I either use myself or comes well-recommended, now available at its lowest or near-lowest price. No buzzwords or fluff – just straight talk on why these deals stand out.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) – $149 (was $249)
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are now available at a hefty discount during Prime Day, making premium wireless earbuds more affordable than ever. The second-generation AirPods Pro with the USB-C charging case are on sale for $149, which is 40% off their usual $249 price. This price matches the lowest we’ve seen for these noise-canceling earbuds. Apple rarely knocks $100 off its popular products, so this deal is a standout. If you’ve been eyeing AirPods Pro for their excellent sound and active noise cancellation, now is a smart time to snag them. The fit is comfortable, the sound quality is top-notch, and at this price, you’re getting genuine value (not a fake markdown).
Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS) – $280 (was $399)
Apple’s latest smartwatch, the Watch Series 10, is 30% off right now, down to $279.99 from its regular $399. That’s a $120 savings on Apple’s flagship wearable. For context, this sale brings the Series 10 to its lowest price since launch. The Series 10 features a larger OLED display and faster charging than previous models, along with all the fitness and health tracking you expect from Apple Watch. I have confidence in recommending this deal because it’s a significant discount on a current-generation Apple device – something we don’t see often outside of big sale events. If you’ve been holding out for a price drop to upgrade your Apple Watch, this is the moment.
13-inch MacBook Air (M-Series) – $849 (was $999)
Apple’s latest ultra-thin MacBook Air now sees a hefty Prime Day discount, bringing powerful performance at a more accessible price.
The 13-inch MacBook Air – Apple’s ultra-thin, lightweight laptop – is currently $150 off, bringing the price down to $849 (from the usual $999)theverge.com. The larger 15-inch MacBook Air is also $150 off (now $1,049), but the 13-inch at $849 is especially appealing as one of the best laptop values this Prime Day. These MacBooks have Apple’s latest M-series chips, offering excellent performance and battery life for everyday computing or school work. A MacBook Air at under $850 is a rare find; last time it was this low was a very brief holiday sale. If you need a reliable laptop, this is a deal worth considering – it’s a real discount, not an overhyped sale.
Nintendo Switch OLED – $249 (was $349)
Nintendo’s Switch OLED model, with its vibrant 7-inch screen, is enjoying a record-low price during Prime Day. You can pick up the Nintendo Switch OLED for $249, which is $100 off its normal $349 pricetheverge.com. That’s the cheapest this enhanced Switch model has ever been. (This deal is being offered through Amazon’s Woot storefront, but it’s a fully legit new console at the best price we’ve seen.) The OLED Switch gives you a much nicer display and better kickstand over the original Switch. With this Prime Day sale, you’re getting it for about 29% off. It’s a true bargain for anyone who’s been on the fence about upgrading their Switch or diving into Nintendo’s ecosystem for the first time. Just note: deals this good tend to sell out fast.
Samsung 65-inch S85D OLED TV – $998 (was $1298)
If you’re in the market for a big, beautiful TV, Prime Day has you covered. Samsung’s S85D 65-inch OLED television is on sale for $998, down from about $1,298 (roughly 23% off)theverge.com. Saving $300 on a Samsung OLED is impressive. This 4K TV is Samsung’s entry-level OLED for 2025, but it still delivers stunning picture quality – deep blacks, rich colors – plus modern features like HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz refresh rate (great for next-gen gaming consoles). I find this deal compelling because OLED TVs of this size rarely dip under the $1,000 mark. It’s a genuine markdown from its earlier pricing, not just a temporary coupon. Home theater upgrades don’t get much sweeter than a high-end 65-inch screen for under a grand.
LG 48-inch B4 OLED TV – $599 (was $799) at Best Buy/Walmart
Amazon isn’t the only place for TV deals. Retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are running their own Prime Day-adjacent sales, sometimes beating Amazon’s prices. One standout is the LG B4 series 48-inch OLED TV, going for $599.99 (usually around $800) – that’s $200 off. This is one of the cheapest ways to get OLED’s incredible picture quality in a smaller size. Four HDMI 2.1 ports, a fast smart TV interface (webOS), and five years of software updates make the B4 a solid investment for gamers or movie lovers in a bedroom or apartment. At roughly 25% off, this deal proves that sometimes the best Prime Day deal is actually outside Amazon. It’s worth checking your local Best Buy or Walmart online if you prefer this model – they’ve matched the price to give Amazon some competition.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max – $35 (was $60)
Streaming stick deals are a Prime Day staple, but this one is the real thing – no filler. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) is down to $35, a 42% discount from its $60 list price. This is Amazon’s newest and fastest streaming stick, now with Wi-Fi 6E support and extra storage, so it handles 4K HDR streaming and snappy menu performance with ease. I like this deal because $35 for a 4K streamer with these specs is excellent value – it’s about the lowest price it’s ever been. If you have an older Fire TV or Roku and want an upgrade, this is a straightforward, no-regrets purchase. It’s simple, it works well with Alexa voice control, and the discount is substantial.
Amazon Echo Pop – $22 (was $40)
Amazon’s Echo Pop – a small smart speaker – is nearly 50% off for Prime Day. It’s selling for just $21.99 (down from around $40)theverge.com. The Echo Pop is a newer addition to Amazon’s Echo lineup, essentially a cute semi-spherical Alexa speaker that’s great for bedrooms, kitchens, or any spot you want some music and voice assistant help. At roughly half price, it’s an easy impulse buy if you’re building out a smart home or just want a capable little speaker for timers and weather updates. I’m mentioning it here because this discount is genuine – under $22 for an Alexa speaker with decent sound is a fair deal. It comes in four fun colors too. While bigger Echo models have larger sound, the Pop at this price hits a sweet spot for value.
Roborock S8 Max Ultra Robot Vacuum – $799 (was $1300)
Robot vacuums are a popular Prime Day category, but the Roborock S8 Max Ultra stands out as the premium pick that’s actually on sale. It’s priced at $799 right now, a significant drop from its hefty $1,300 price. Yes, $799 is still a lot, but this isn’t your average robo-vac – it’s a top-of-the-line model that vacuums and mops and even cleans its own mop pads. We rated this one highly for its obstacle avoidance and truly hands-free cleaning (it empties its own dustbin and washes its mop). The reason I’m confident calling this a “best deal” is because the S8 Max Ultra very rarely goes on sale. A $500 discount makes it much more attainable for those who want a high-end cleaning gadget. If you’ve been eyeing a flagship robot vacuum to take over your floor cleaning, this Prime Day offer is worth considering for the sheer amount saved.
Sonos Beam (2nd Gen) Soundbar – $369 (was $499)
If you need better TV sound, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is on sale for $369, down from $499 (about 26% off)theverge.com. Sonos gear doesn’t often see huge discounts, so this is a notable price drop for one of the best compact soundbars around. The second-gen Beam supports Dolby Atmos and integrates seamlessly with other Sonos speakers for surround sound. Setup is simple and it’s a big upgrade over TV speakers for clear dialog and rich sound. While 26% off might not sound massive compared to some other deals, remember that Sonos products hold their value. Seeing the Beam under $370 is a true Prime Day treat for home audio enthusiasts. It’s a real discount from a trusted brand – no exaggerated “50% off” on a no-name device here.
Bose SoundLink Flex (II) – $99 (was $149)
**The price has unfortunately increased on this product as Prime Day continued on. We’re still including it since it is on sale.**
For music on the go, Bose’s SoundLink Flex 2 (the second-gen model of their rugged Bluetooth speaker) is down to $99, which is $50 off its usual $149 price. This matches the lowest price ever for the Flex. It’s one of the best-looking and most durable portable speakers (IP67 water-resistant and dustproof), so you can take it to the pool, beach, or camping without worry. It lasts about 12 hours per charge and can even pair with another Bose speaker for stereo sound. I include this deal because Bose’s audio quality is excellent for the size, and at $99, you’re getting it at an all-time low price. It’s a genuine bargain for a speaker that earned strong reviews at full price.
Ring Battery Doorbell Plus – $80 (was $150)
Rounding out the list is a smart home upgrade: the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus for $79.99, a big cut from its $150 regular price (47% off). If you’ve been wanting a video doorbell, this is one of the best deals you’ll find. The Battery Doorbell Plus is Ring’s upgraded wireless doorbell with a taller field of view (so you can see packages on the ground) and improved video quality over the base model. At $80, it’s well below its typical price. This deal stands out because it undercuts even previous holiday sales for this device. And don’t worry – you don’t need a wiring setup; the rechargeable battery makes it easy to install. With almost half off, it’s a smart investment for home security. (Plus, since Ring is owned by Amazon, Prime Day is usually when you’ll see their lowest prices of the year on Ring gadgets.)
Final Tip: Prime Day officially runs through July 11, but the best deals can sell out or change quickly. If you see a price you like, especially on these “best of the best” picks, consider checking out sooner rather than later. And if you’re shopping around, remember to compare other retailers – many are offering the same discounts as Amazon. The goal is to get a true deal, not just a marketing mirage. Happy bargain hunting, and enjoy the savings!
