Amazon Prime Day 2024 dates announced: The best early Prime Day deals you can shop ahead of the summer event

A four-pack of Apple's AirTags are on sale for $80 right now, bringing the price for each down to just $20. We named the AirTag the best Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users in our guide to those fobs, thanks to Apple's massive finding network that calls on every nearby iPhone to anonymously search for your lost stuff.

The latest stylus for iPads, the Apple Pencil Pro is currently on sale for $119 on Amazon. That's just $10 lower than its original price, but does happen to be the first discount on the new accessory since it's launch last month. The new Pencil Pro recognizes squeezes, which can trigger actions like bringing up app-specific tool palettes and shortcuts, and gives you haptic feedback as you use it. It can also detect rolling the barrel for more precision as you draw.

The 41mm Apple Watch Series 9 has dropped down to $299, which is $100 off its usual price. This model earned a score of 92 in our review thanks to new features like Double Tap and Raise To Speak. It's also our favorite smartwatch overall and our pick for the best of Apple's three models.

Apple's latest MacBook Pros are on sale: the 14.2-inch version is down to $1,749 for a config with an M3 Pro chip, 18GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD at Amazon and B&H. That's $250 off Apple's list price and $50 below the street price we've seen on Amazon over the last couple of months, though it's $50 more than the lowest price we've tracked. The 16.2-inch model is also on sale for $2,199, which is an all-time low. That model has the same base specs, though it has a slightly stronger 12-core CPU (instead of the 11-core chip on the 14-inch model) and 18-core GPU (instead of a 14-core unit) alongside its roomier display. Just keep in mind that we may or may not see new M4-based models by the end of the year.

If you’re an Amazon Prime member who has never subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimited, you can now get five months of the music streaming service for no cost. If you’re a new user who doesn’t have Prime, you can get a three-month free trial. The service normally costs $10 per month for those who subscribe to Prime and $11 per month for those who don’t.

Music Unlimited isn’t a formal recommendation in our guide to the best music streaming apps: Its interface isn’t as tidy or smartly curated as that of Apple Music, our top pick, and we’ve found it to be a bit aggressive about promoting podcasts you may not care about. That said, it’s hard to beat free, and the service has more or less the same giant music library as its peers. It also supports lossless streaming, unlike Spotify, which is a nice plus for audiophiles with high-quality wired headphones. If you just want to save a bit of cash on your music streaming for a few months, it should do the job. Just remember to cancel when the free trial ends, as your subscription will be set to auto-renew by default.

Prime subscribers can now get Amazon’s Echo Dot Kids for $28, which matches the lowest price we’ve seen. The smart speaker technically has a list price of $60, though we’ve seen it fall in the $35 to $45 range several times over the past year.

As the name implies, this is a child-friendly variant of Amazon’s diminutive home speaker: It uses the same spherical hardware as the standard model but comes with a cutesy owl- or dragon-themed design, a longer two-year warranty (instead of a 90-day one) and a year’s subscription to the company’s Kids+ service, which includes a range of kid-oriented audiobooks, games, music stations and the like. Like the standard model, there’s a fairly robust suite of parental controls as well. The quality of that Kids+ content can be scattershot, and whether you’re comfortable putting an Amazon speaker in your kid’s bedroom is something only you can answer (though there is a mic mute button). The standard Echo Dot is the “best under $50” pick in our guide to the best smart speakers and will almost certainly go on sale during Prime Day. But if you’ve been looking for an affordable music player and audiobook reader that your little one can control with their voice, here you go.

Amazon's Fire TV Soundbar is $20 off and down to $100, which is the best price we've seen all year. It's best paired with a Fire TV device or a standalone Fire TV, and it supports surround sound with DTS Virtual:X, and Dolby Audio.

The 43-inch and 55-inch Amazon Fire Omni QLED smart TVs are up to 25 percent off right now. The 43-inch model is the most affordable, down 20 percent with a final price of $360 for Prime members. These TVs support 4K HDR10+ content with Dolby Vision IQ, hands-free Alexa, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity and the Fire TV ambient experience.

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds have returned to a low of $59, that's a savings of $21 over the full price. We named these our top pick for a budget-friendly set of buds because they provide features like EQ adjustment, splash-resistance, active noise cancellation and a decent transparency mode. Plus the sound itself is pleasant and warm. 

This Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum is half off and down to only $300 right now. A version of one of our top picks for the best robot vacuums, it supports cleaning schedules and home mapping, plus it comes with a self-emptying base that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris. The base is also bagless, so you don't have to buy and replace proprietary garbage bags in it over time.

Beats only launched its new Solo 4 headphones just over a month ago, but the on-ear pair is already down to $150 at various retailers. That's $50 off the Apple subsidiary's MSRP. A bundle that pairs the headphones with two years of AppleCare+ protection is also on sale for $178.

The XL version of Elgato's Stream Deck is 20 percent off right now and down to $200. That's only $10 more than its record-low price, and this model gives you a whopping 32 buttons that you can program to do specific actions during a stream or just for general productivity.

Our top pick for a Wi-Fi 6E mesh system is TP-Link's Deco XE75, and right now, it's on sale for just $290 for a set of three. That's after a 31 percent discount and a $20 clickable coupon. Taken together, that's the lowest price we've seen on the set so far. We like how it balances power and user-friendliness, bringing fast connections to places in your home that may have been spotty before.
