Amazon Prime Day 2026 ran from June 23 to June 26, four days of discounts on tech products. If you missed the event or are still deciding what to buy, here are the standout deals that are still worth knowing about, based on testing from the WIRED Reviews team.
Headphones and Earbuds
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 dropped to $179, a $70 discount from the regular $249 price. WIRED rated these as Apple’s best earbuds, with improved noise cancellation and sound quality over the previous generation. The deal was among the most popular of the entire Prime Day event.
JBL offered discounts across its lineup as well, including the JBL Vibe Beam 2 earbuds and JBL Tune 510BT headphones, both available for under $50 during the Fourth of July sales that followed Prime Day.
Smartphones
The Google Pixel 10 was available for $534, a $265 discount from its regular price. At 20% off, this was one of the best smartphone deals of the event. The Pixel 10 runs stock Android with Google’s AI features built in, including Gemini integration across the operating system.
Samsung also offered deals on its Galaxy Tab A11 tablet, targeting buyers looking for a capable Android tablet at a reduced price. Various Samsung accessories and audio products saw discounts of up to 30% through Samsung’s promotional program.
Wearables
The Apple Watch Series 11 hit its lowest price of the year during Prime Day. The Oura Ring also saw significant discounts, making it more accessible for users interested in sleep tracking and recovery metrics without wearing a full smartwatch.
Smart Home and Accessories
Anker’s Soundcore Select 4 Go portable speaker was available for under $50. The UGreen MagFlow Air power bank also made the under-$50 list. Aqara smart home devices saw Prime Day discounts, covering everything from door sensors to smart plugs.
Shark and Dyson vacuums were discounted, along with Dreo portable air conditioners. For home office setups, Squarespace offered 10% off through promotional codes tied to the Prime Day period.
What to Watch For
Many Prime Day deals were genuinely good, but some products were discounted from inflated MSRPs. The AirPods Pro 3 at $179 and Pixel 10 at $534 represent real value because those products have strong independent reviews backing their regular pricing. If you are shopping post-Prime Day, check historical price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to verify that current prices are actually lower than the pre-sale baseline.
