I’ve got a riddle for you. When is a day more than a day? Here’s a hint: sometimes a day can last four or five, and then it also pops up for a few days later in the year. That’s Amazon Prime Day for you.
Since debuting in 2015 it’s grown from a 24-hour event to a multi-day event, and Amazon now has several of them throughout the year. After June’s five-day event, we’re on the eve of another: Prime Big Deal Days, which lasts from October 6–7.

But I’ve been looking through the likely sale candidates, and I’ve discovered that there you don’t have to wait if you want a deal on a lot of TVs, robot vacuums, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and more.

Apple MacBook ProM5Pro ($150 Off)
$2,349.00 (reg. 2,499.00) at Amazon
Buy Now(opens in a new window)
You can get the base-level MacBook Pro M5 with the regular M5 chip for $1,849, down from its $1,999 retail price, if you like. But the Apple MacBook Pro M5Pro‘s M5 Pro chip is a big step up and what I consider to be the best value in the MacBook Pro’s three-tiered range. At $2,349, it’s down $150 from its usual price.
Apple MacBook Air M5 (Over $60 Off)
$1,236.69 (reg. $1,299.00) at Amazon

It’s not a huge deal, but in the face of Apple raising its MacBook prices earlier this year, we’ll take it. The Apple MacBook Air M5, which I consider the best MacBook for most people, is down $63 to an oddly specific price of $1,236.69.

You can choose from classic paintings and photographs to modern art to display when you’re not watching TV shows, movies, or sports. Best of all, it’s $300 off at $1,198 for Prime Day.
TCL QM7L 65″ 4K TV ($200 Off)
Year in, year out I say that TCL is the best value in 4K TVs. The TCL QM7L 65″ 4K TV is new for 2026, and if you’re looking for the best 65″ 4K TV that $1,000 can buy, fork over $998 for this deal ($200 off) before Prime Day is over.

early prime day headphone deals
Apple AirPod Max 2 ($70 Off)
Apple’s best AirPods aren’t the earbuds you might be thinking of. They’re the Apple AirPod Max 2, an over-the-ear pair of headphones with powerful active noise cancellation (ANC) to block out surrounding cacaphonies better than a pair of earbuds.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 ($50 Off)
Having just sort of dunked on earbuds, I’m here to point out that the Apple AirPods Pro 3 have ANC twice as strong as the AirPods Pro 2. They also pair extraordinarily well with Apple devices, including iPhones, Macs, and iPads. At $199, down from $249, this is the cheapest I’ve seen them for since June.

If you haven’t encountered a pair of these dangling around somebody’s neck, you must’ve been sleepwalking the last few years. The ever-popular Beats Studio Pro are on sale for October Prime Day for $170, down $30 from their usual street price.
early prime day bluetooth speaker deals
Beats Pill ($50 Off)
Dangling from backpack straps and bicycle handlebars everywhere, the Beats Pill is one of the most visible and popular Bluetooth speakers I come across, and right now it’s one-third off. We put VICE’s top mathematicians on it, and that comes out to $100 after lobbing $50 off the usual retail price.
Anker Soundcore 2 ($15 Off)
The Anker Soundcore 2 was already an affordable Bluetooth speaker at $45. Knocked down to $30 it becomes a straight-up bargian. It’ll run for up to 24 hours on a charge, and if you get two of them they’ll link together and work as a stereo system.
Anker Soundcore Boom 2 ($30 Off)
For outdoor parties, such as backyard barbecues and campgrounds, you’re going to be competing with loud conversation. The 80W Anker Soundcore Boom 2 has enough oomph to be heard among a crowd. It’s down $30 and selling for $100.

The $99 Google Fitbit Air is the first new Fitbit in years, but don’t let it stop you from grabbing a Google Fitbit Charge 6 on its $132 deal, $28 lower than its $160 retail price. Unlike the screenless Fitbit Air, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a touchscreen so that you can also control it directly from your wrist, in addition to syncing it to your phone.
