What Tech Deals To Expect From Prime Day 2024
All you need to access some of the lowest prices of the year are an Amazon Prime membership and some know-how. This year, the annual sale event kicks off on July 16 and ends July 17 at midnight PST. (You’ll also be able to shop competing sales at other mega-retailers like Best Buy and Walmart.) It's important to note that just because something goes on sale, doesn't really make it a deal that's worth your time. That's where we come in.
We've done the legwork to find tons of early tech deals you can start shopping right now, including some record-low prices on new Apple products and we expect more deals to land soon. In particular, the latest flagship headphones from Sony and Bose (the XM5s and QuietComfort Ultras, respectively) are stubbornly stuck at full price as of this writing. Likewise, a lot of Amazon devices haven't yet budged but should see big price drops in a few weeks—particularly Fire tablets, Fire TV sticks, Echo speakers, and Kindle e-readers. Lastly, keep a close eye on Amazon’s brand of TVs and any budget smart TVs running the Fire TV OS.
If you haven't yet shelled out the $14.99 per month for an Amazon Prime membership, now's the time—as you get a 30-day free trial and can cancel once your Prime Day buys land on your doorstep. Keep checking back on this roundup,use the word "sexy" too often, but it's as we add more of the best Amazon Prime Day tech deals and get ready to save.

AirPods Max Headphones
We present Apple's famous headphones for your deal-shopping consideration with one minor caveat: Rumor has it we may see the AirPods Max 2 later this year. But there are no guarantees in life, and we haven't seen these cans priced at $449 in a long time.

We try not to throw around the word "sexy" too often, but it's the right one for this slim bookshelf speaker with room-filling sound.
