Amazon Prime Day 2022 has begun, and pros say there are plenty of deals to be had — especially on Amazon’s own devices and brands. Indeed, several pros shared with MarketWatch Picks that Amazon devices — like the Amazon Echo 4 ($59.99) and Echo Dot 4 ($19.99) — are at their lowest prices ever. There’s also a great Fire 10 HD Tablet productivity bundle (that includes the tablet, a Bluetooth keyboard and a year subscription to Microsoft 365) that is just $159.
And psst… if you’ve been waiting for a price drop on Apple AirPods, now may also be your moment: Apple AirPods Pro are on sale for 32% off and Apple AirPods (2nd generation) are marked down to their lowest price of the year at $89.99.
Remember that almost all of these deals are only for Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial of Prime here to take advantage of the sales (and cancel anytime). Here are our top picks for the best deals Amazon is offering on day one of Prime Day 2022:
One of the hallmarks of the most recent Echo: Reviewers are happy with is its improved sound quality over previous models. “The spherical design has some real advantages and it’s apparent in the improved sound. And improved it is. Music is easily better, more complex and effortless,” one reviewer says.
“Easy set up, functional and fun,” one reviewer writes. “This is a great device that I highly recommend. We use it, and all our other Dots all day long for news, music, drop[ping]-in, calendar and timer notifications, and shopping among other features. In closing, five-stars!”
