Editor’s note: That’s a wrap, folks! As Prime Big Deal Days draws to a close, we’ll no longer be updating this article with additional deals and insights. Plenty of great deals remain, however, so be sure to check out all of our Prime Day 2.0 coverage for anything you may have missed.

We’re now in the final hours of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. That means it’s time to squeeze as much value out of your Amazon 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 things are winding down, many of the best deals remain — which is a good thing, especially if you were taking some time to mull over a big purchase.

As with our initial coverage, we’ve included the best deals we could find on everything from noise-canceling headphones, robot vacuums, and 4K TVs to 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. If you don’t have Prime yet, you may also be eligible for a free 30-day trial that’ll allow you to 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. 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 the 3.5mm headphone jack if the headphones’ battery is dead. Read our review

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.
