    Amazon’s next Prime Day is officially on the horizon. Its fall savings event, Prime Big Deal Days (aka “October Prime Day”) is coming Oct. 6 and 7, with competing festivities at Target and Walmart.

    The best Prime Day deals are your chance to get some relief from the RAMageddon price hikes impacting the tech industry this year. For its part, Amazon increased the prices of nearly two dozen Kindles, Fire TV Sticks, Echo smart speakers, and eero routers this summer because of rising component costs. Seasonal sales like Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday should cancel out some of those markups.

    As we gear up for fall, Amazon is already dropping early October Prime Day deals, and we’ve hunted down the best ones for you. Savings are fluctuating quickly; for example, Fire Sticks were heavily discounted last week and are now full price. We’re still holding out for more deals, considering Amazon Echo devices and Kindle e-readers have yet to go on sale.

    Finally, a word of warning: We do expect prices to drop even lower on select Apple products when the sale starts Oct. 6, so you might want to hold out until then. In the meantime, we’ll be regularly updating our picks in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days. You can also check out our guide to the top October Prime Day tech deals for more savings.

    Why we like it

    Ahead of October Prime Day, we spotted the first deal on the second-generation Bose QuietComfort headphones. Mashable’s audio expert Bethany Allard says that the Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) are the best combination of comfort, noise cancellation, sound quality, and value. And right now, they’re an even better value as they’re 11% off. Get them for $319, and save $40 on the headphones that are usually $359.

    Finally! Amazon’s Echo devices are officially on sale ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Right now, grab the Amazon Echo Dot for just $39.99. While that’s not the lowest sale price we’ve ever spotted on the Echo Dot, it’s the best price since Amazon increased prices on its devices.

    Hisense 65-inch U7 Mini-LED ULED 4K TV ✅
    $847.99at Amazon
    $1,499.99Save $652
     

    Why we like it

    “The Hisense U7 series delivers Mini-LED performance you’d expect on higher-priced models. It packs a 165Hz refresh rate, 2.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos audio, a Google TV with a Gemini interface, and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. Its backlighting features full-array local dimming as well, which means clusters of tiny LED bulbs precisely control brightness levels within specific sections of your screen for more accuracy and depth. The U7 is a step up from our favorite budget TV of 2026, but with this massive price drop, it’s actually a much better deal. At $847.99, the 65-inch model is already $2 cheaper than it was on Prime Day proper back in June.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

    Bluetti Elite 100 V2 ✅

    Why we like it

    “Ahead of Prime Day, this Bluetti power unit has $400 off the list price. It comes with a 1,024Wh capacity and 1,800W output, with 11 ports so you can charge multiple devices at once. It can also fully recharge in about 70 minutes with TurboBoost AC charging, making it a great option for last-minute use.

    The 10-millisecond UPS (uninterruptible power supply) means this is a great model for plugging into your workstation or the WiFi router at home when a storm threatens to take out grid power. A 10 UPS means the Ecoflow will take over providing power within 10 milliseconds of losing wall power.” — Lois Mackenzie, Mashable Contributor

    “The Lego Botanicals Flower Arrangement is an absolute delight for adult builders, with its 1,161 pieces coming together to create a display of 14 flowers (including camellias, peonies, hydrangeas, baby’s breath, ranunculus, bouvardia, and lilies) in a white vase. If it’s one you’ve had on your radar, Amazon has a sweet little early October Prime Day treat for you: it’s currently at its lowest-ever price of $62.04. It’s retiring soon, making now an excellent time to grab it for less.

    It’s not the only Botanicals deal we’ve spotted, either. You can see even more of our favorite floral sets on sale below.” — Hannah Hoolihan, Mashable Contributor
