Our editors independently select the products we recommend. We may earn a commission on items bought through our links.
Some people are always after the latest tech, selling their souls and a few organs to get the newest iPhone on release day and somehow already sporting the Facebook Meta/Ray-Ban collab that is sure to become part of a class-action lawsuit or government surveillance scandal in the near future.
Today's Top Deals
For those of us only willing to be as technologically advanced as our pocket change will allow, there are a couple of great deals under $100 available for the inaugural Prime Big Deal Days event this year — wireless headphones, projectors, bluetooth speakers, and more. Here are a few of our favorites:
Beats Solo3 Wireless-On-Ear Headphones
Buy Now On Amazon
When Apple acquired the Beats brand in 2014, it created an in-house competition for its own AirPod devices, which hit the market two years later. People have their preferences, but experts generally agree that Beats are comparable with whatever their AirPods counterparts are; they generally have the same features (noise-canceling) and overlapping technology. If you’re a fan of over-the-ear headphones, though, the AirPods Max, Apple’s recent entry point, have eye-popping price tags ranging between $350 and $650. Beats has cheaper options for you, though, including a great deal for less than $100 on the newest Prime Day.
Beats Studio Buds
Buy Now On Amazon
These Studio Buds are analogous to AirPods Pro’s first generation, while already starting off $100 cheaper. They’re even more competitive for Prime Big Deal Days for nearly half off, where they’re leagues better than nearly any other wireless earbud in the sub-$90 range. They’re noise-canceling, last 8 hours on a single charge (24 with the case on deck), come with six free months of Apple Music, and claim to have extended Bluetooth range. The wide range of colors — including blue, red, pink, and gray — also make an argument over the famously grayscale AirPods.
Bose Soundlink Micro Bluetooth Speaker
Buy Now On Amazon
Bose is a time-tested speaker brand that’s hard to go wrong with, and their SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker dips below $90 with this discount. It’s great for the outdoors (much better to play Bon Iver from in a fall bonfire situation than, say, your phone), super durable, and boasting a rubberized silicone exterior. The speaker lasts six hours on one charge (roughly 120 spins of “Paint the Town Red”), it has a “party mode” that emphasizes the bass, and it has a clip for on-the-go listening.
AuKing Projector, 2023 Upgraded Mini Projector
Buy Now On Amazon
If you think having a TV in your bedroom is tacky or space-inefficient, you may be interested in the TikTok, projector-on-the-ceiling trend. This device from AuKing is compact — fitting easily on a desk or nightstand — has 1080p HD, and connects easily to a computer via an HDMI. It’s also less than $60 for Prime Day.
Anker Prime 6-in-1 USB C Charging Station
Buy Now On Amazon
There’s the typical charging station, and then there’s something like Anker’s 6-in-1, which can fully charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 100% in just 1 hour and 15 minutes, according to the company. It’ll also make you the MVP of any party with six people who have got dead phones.
NETGEAR Wifi Range Extender EX2800
Buy Now On Amazon
Bad WiFi is arguably worse than no WiFi, providing the glimmer of hope that strings you along for a frustrated sequence of hours. It makes a WiFi extender an obvious idea, especially for those who spend the better part of their workday in their pajamas. This option from Netgear is 30% off, with reviewers praising the easy value and easy setup.
