Amazon’s October Prime Day sale (aka Prime Big Deal Days) is finally here, and we’ve collected the best deals we could find on everything from noise-canceling headphones and robot vacuums to 4K OLED TVs. 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 $25 Bluetooth speaker as we are in a $780 smartwatch. Some of these gadgets are available for less than they were during Amazon’s most recent Prime Day sale in July, so your patience has been rewarded if you sat the last one out.
By that logic, it might be tempting to wait until Black Friday for an even better deal, but there’s no guarantee prices will drop further. Some gadgets may be in short supply come the holidays, and the impact of tariffs could lead to deal prices that don’t align with your expectations. So if you’re jumping in below, remember that you need an active Amazon Prime subscription. (Here’s a free 30-day trial if you don’t have one yet.)
Prime Day highlights
Headphone and earbud deals
Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds are back down to $199 ($100 off) at 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
Nothing’s Headphones 1 for a new low of $254 ($46 off) at You can getfor 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 its 3.5mm headphone jack if the headphones’ battery is dead. Read our review
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 The, 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 .

That said, they lack several notable features, including wireless charging and multipoint support, and only carry an IPX2 rating. Read our review
Sony’s WH-1000XM5 for anyone in need of a pair for travel, and they’re currently on sale for $298 ($100 off) at We can still enthusiastically recommendfor anyone in need of a pair for travel, and they’re currently on sale for $298 ($100 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.

AirPods 4 with ANC are a great alternative that are currently matching their all-time low of $119 ($60 off) at If you don’t like the sealed feeling of silicone ear tips, theare 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.

Sennheiser IE 200 are on sale for $99.95 ($60 off) at Theare 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
Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are on sale at Theare on sale at Amazon $74.99 ($55 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.
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $179.99 ($70 off) at Theare 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
