We’re now in the second and final day of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. That means it’s time to squeeze as much value out of your Prime subscription as you can until Thursday at 3AM ET / 12AM PT, which is when several deals will enter a brief hibernation ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Although we’ve turned the page on a new day, many of the deals below will likely be familiar to those who were shopping yesterday. That’s a good thing, especially if you were taking the night to mull over a big purchase, or perhaps a string of small ones.
As with our initial coverage, we’ve included the best deals we could find on everything from noise-canceling headphones, robot vacuums, 4K TVs, soundbars, and some unexpected gadgets that might come in handy around the house. 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 $50 smartwatch as we are in a $1,500 OLED TV. In case you don’t have Prime yet, you might be eligible for a free 30-day trial that’ll let you shop the event without paying for access.
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.

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

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
