Apple AirPods Max: $395 (28% off)
Looking to splurge on new AirPods this Prime Day? The third-generation AirPods Max are an excellent choice. They’re certainly the best of Apple’s entire lineup, and status symbols, to say the least.
Hardly understated, the Apple AirPods Max are all about big, booming sound, cushioned earcups, active noise-cancelation technology, and a special transparency mode so you can hear what you need to when you need to. All that, and they still manage to pack in 15 hours of listening, and they even come in a variety of different colors.
The AirPods Max usually go for $549, but they’re on sale for $395 right now at Amazon with a Prime membership. That’s a discount of 28%, and a savings of $154. That’s the best price we’ve ever seen the AirPods Max going for, so it’s a good time to go ahead and get yours now.
Samsung Galaxy S24+: $750 (25% off)
When it comes to power and pricing, Samsung Galaxy S24+ falls into the middle of the Samsung Galaxy S lineup. And right now, Prime members can save 25% during the Amazon Prime Day 2024 sale.
The S24+ comes in eight colors. You can also choose between 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The phone features a beautiful, 6.7 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x Quad HD+ display with a 2,120-by-1,440 pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Its maximum brightness is 2,600 nits. And it now takes full advantage of Google AI and Google Gemini to provide super-smart features and functions.
The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor, but it does not support the S Pen stylus, like the Ultra model.
Google Pixel 8: $499 (29% off)
During Prime Day 2024, Amazon has slashed the price of the Google Pixel 8 smartphone by 29% for Prime members, which brings its starting price down to just $499. The top-rated Android smartphone offers up to a 24-hour battery life and comes with either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. It’s also powered by Google’s own Tensor G3 processor.

The rear camera setup includes a 12MP ultra-wide and 50MP wide camera. The Pixel 8 integrates Google AI and Google Gemini, which can make the phone’s features faster, easier and more efficient.
The Google Pixel 8 is affordable, customizable, versatile and takes full advantage of everything that Android has to offer. And its AI tools are rather impressive.
Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device: $35 (save 42%)
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max provides rapid app launch and smooth navigation. With 16GB of storage, it offers double the space of the Fire TV Stick 4K, allowing for apps and downloads.
This upgraded device supports 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos audio for high-quality streaming. You can even add in a pair of Echo speakers for a complete Alexa Home Theater experience.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max also allows you to display over 2,000 pieces of art and photography while Alexa integration lets you control compatible devices, check the weather, control the lights in your home and more with your voice.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max typically lists for $60. Grab it for $35 at Amazon while you can.
Samsung 55″ Frame smart TV (2024): $1,198 (save 20%)
Samsung’s 2024 edition of the Frame isn’t just a smart TV. It becomes a decorative accent whenever you’re not watching something. As a 4K resolution QLED TV, it also does an impressive job showcasing TV shows and movies, as well as high-action sports and games. And it displays famous works of art with extreme detail and color accuracy. Paintings from famous artists look real, while photographs look sharp and lifelike.
In addition to a matte finish which greatly reduces glare, for the first time, the Frame TVs are Pantone validated for color accuracy. This makes art look even more realistic. Even better: Samsung is offering a curated selection of 20 art pieces each month that Frame owners can display for free. But if you subscribe to Samsung’s Art Store ($5.99 per month), it now includes access to more than 2,500 artworks from world-renowned museums and galleries.
Thanks to the Frame’s broad viewing angle, wherever you’re sitting in the room, you’ll have a clear view. As always, you can buy an optional, magnetically attachable bezel to make the Frame TV look like it’s in a traditional picture frame. You can choose the bezel design (between $200 and $300 each) that matches the decor of any room.
Be sure to check out our full review of Samsung’s 2024 Frame TV, as well as our coverage of the seven things I love about the new 2024 Frame TV (and three things I hate). Head over to Amazon right now to get up to 20% off this popular TV. The 65-inch version is currently on sale for $1,698. Other popular screen sizes, including the 55-inch and 75-inch model are also now on sale.
LG 65″ Class OLED Evo C4 Series smart TV: $1,797 (save 33%)
The C4 Series TVs are LG’s current flagship OLED models, replacing the 2023 C3s. They feature more than eight million self-lit pixels that can display rich, bright and accurate colors — think 100% color volume with 100% color fidelity. These TVs are loaded with features, too, like Dolby Vision support. You also get special viewing modes, like filmmaker mode, which makes movies look as the director intended.
Since not everything you watch will be in native 4K resolution, you can take advantage of the TV’s enhanced AI upscaling. This boosts an image up to almost 4K quality in real-time. We also like that this TV offers multi-view, so you can split the screen and watch two things at once.
These TVs offer a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and have a 120Hz refresh rate. They’re powered using LG’s a9 AI Processor 4K Gen 7 and the WebOS 24 operating system. To complement the amazing picture quality, the C4 TVs support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. They have a built-in 2.2-channel speaker system that includes downward-firing speakers. You also get plenty of port options.
In conjunction with Prime Day, Amazon has cut the price of this TV rather dramatically. The 65-inch version is 24% off, which means you’ll pay just $2,049. The TV is also available in five other sizes including 42-inch ($1,147), 48-inch ($1,247), 55-inch ($1,547), 77-inch ($2,909) or 83-inch ($4,898), all of which are also on sale.

Dolby Atmos and object tracking sound+ provide immersive 3D audio and Q-Symphony 3.0 synchronizes your TV speakers with a Samsung soundbar for enhanced audio.
The sleek design of this TV also features an attachable solution for organizing cables.
The Samsung OLED 4K S95C series smart TV is now $1,798 (reduced from $3,298). At 45% off, this is one of the best Prime Day TV deals you’ll find in 2024.
Meta Quest 3 ‘Asgard’s Wrath 2’ Bundle: $430 (save $70)
Ready to jump into the world of VR? This bundle is a great way to do it. It includes the Meta Quest 3 headset and ccessories as well as a durable hard shell carrying case and the game “Asgard’s Wrath 2” so you can start playing right out of the box.
The Meta Quest 3 is a powerhouse that doubles the performance of its predecessor, the Meta Quest 2. That means it offers a more immersive visual experience, due in part to the headset’s 4K resolution display. It boasts a nearly 30% increase in resolution compared to the Meta Quest 2.
The headset gives you an average of 2.2 hours of use on a single charge, with the option to extend battery life even further using its Battery Saver mode. The included 18W power adapter charges quickly as well, so you can right back into the game in a short amount of time.

Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone: $700 (30% off)
The Pixel 8 Pro smartphone offers some incredible new features and design elements, starting with a wonderfully bright, 6.7-inch Super Actua (OLED) display. You also get a fully upgraded camera system and a polished aluminum frame with a matte finish on the phone’s sides and back. The phone is powered using Google’s own Tensor G3 processor, which not only speeds up overall phone performance, but it also allows for AI functionality to be embedded into a wide range of phone features, from call screening and the capabilities of Google Assistant, to photo and video editing.
In conjunction with the sensors people are already familiar with from older Pixel smartphone models, the Pixel 8 Pro introduces a temperature sensor on the back of the phone. At the moment, this can be pointed at something, like a baby bottle, to make sure it’s not too hot. Google has applied for FDA approval that may allow this sensor to check human body temperature in the near future.
Amazon Echo Spot smart alarm clock: $45 ($35 off)
The new Echo Spot can be customized with your favorite clock face, colors, alarm sounds and more. It has a smart display that shows the time, weather, song titles and other information at a glance so you have everything you need right in front of you in the morning.
A smart speaker at heart, it’s loud and effective as an alarm clock, but you can use it to enjoy music and podcasts with crisp clarity and surprisingly loud volume. Control it with touch or via Alexa, which can also be set up to follow routines that wake you up with music and soft light in a more gentle way than traditional alarms.
You can use the Echo Spot as a smart home hub by way of Alexa as well, with voice controls that mean you don’t have to stumble out of bed in the morning to find a switch or touch a panel somewhere else to turn on the lights or get your day going.
Right now, you can save $35 on the Echo Spot, making it just $45 for Prime Day. Grab yours quickly before it goes up to $80 once more. You can also the Echo Spot with its charging stand bundled together for just $75, marked down from its normal price of $110.

It’s powered by Apple’s latest M3 chip, which provides a performance boost for demanding tasks like video editing or gaming. It’s no slouch, even if it’s the lightest MacBook you can currently get.
The MacBook Air still weighs only 2.5 pounds for ultimate portability. Its 13-inch Liquid Retina display outputs a bright 500 nits and supports connecting two external monitors. It’ll last a long time per use, too. Apple estimates the battery can last up to 18 hours on a single charge.
Regularly $1,099, right now, you can get this MacBook model for $850 after coupon.
Kindle Scribe 16GB: $235 (31% off)
We love the Kindle Scribe because in addition to serving as a full-featured e-reader and audiobook player, it can also be used as a digital notepad. It comes with a stylus and the ability to create custom-named digital notebooks that can contain any number of individual pages. Onto those virtual pages, you can add handwritten notes and drawings. These can then be viewed, edited, printed or shared with others.
One great feature of the Scribe is its e-ink display that’s virtually glare-free and easy to read in any lighting situation. Plus, the e-reader’s battery lasts for weeks between charges.
Plus as you’re reading e-books, you can use the pen-shaped stylus to handwrite notes and highlight text.
Regularly $340, you can get the Kindle Scribe for just $235 with an Amazon Prime membership. It’s our favorite Prime Day Kindle deal.

Gamers will appreciate this laptop’s full-size keyboard with 1.9mm travel distance. It uses the company’s “Overstroke technology,” which reduces key actuation and improves responsiveness.
Shark AI Ultra: $295 (51% off)
This powerful robot vacuum is an expert at lifting dirt from a variety of floor types, from carpet to hard floors. Thanks to its self-cleaning brush roll, it can power through hair, debris, fur and other nastiness with the greatest of ease.
It cleans in a grid pattern that takes multiple passes over the dirtier parts of your home so you get a deep clean. It can map your home using 360-degree LiDAR vision as well, so it knows where it should be headed and avoids obstacles all on its own.
