Amazon Prime Day: Is it worthwhile? Theoretical Review of Some Popular Amazon-Premium Deals & Future Trends
There was an adjustment to pricing and expired deals were removed. Also added new deals, including the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and JLab Go Air Pop.
I don’t know how people wear headphones in the summer heat. When the temperature reaches this high, I only wear earbuds. Even if you prefer a different brand, Amazon Prime Day can help you get the latest and greatest from Bose, Sony, and many other brands.
It is possible to save large on all types of gadgets and unnecessary items during Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale through July 17th. We can help you separate the wheat from the chaff.
Some products (like Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Max) are due for a refresh in the coming months, but there’s nothing wrong with picking up the current version — especially at some of these prices. We will be adding the best deals as they come up and you will want to check back often.
With dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review carefully.
Sony’s noise cancellation headphones still provide plenty of bang for the buck with great sound and long battery life. They’re not the company’s latest, but they remain an excellent buy.
If you take advantage of an invite-only deal on the Sony WH-CH520, you will have a chance to practice on Prime Day. The tan model will be on sale for an all-time low of $35.99 ($44 off) on July 16th and 17th; however, you have to be a Prime member and request an invitation to purchase them. If selected, Amazon will email you details on how to complete your purchase, which will be how invite-only deals will work throughout the event.
The lowest price on the entry-level Echo Buds can be found for Prime members at $24.99, an all-time low. The wireless earbuds lack more premium features like noise cancellation and aren’t particularly attractive, but there aren’t many earbuds with seamless Alexa support, water resistance, and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity in this price range. They’ll last up to six hours per charge, too, or 20 hours with the included charging case.
Amazon’s newest Echo Buds lack ANC but feature a semi-open design that should make it easier to remain aware of your surroundings. They have multipoint pairs and integration with Alexa.
The Jlab Go Air Pop are wireless earbuds with eight hours of battery life and a charging case. The case also has a charging plug in it that you can use when charging your device.
HyperX Cloud III Wireless: Nerf Needle Blaster, Ember Mug 2, AirFly Duo, and InZone H3
The Nerf NeedleHalor is a motorized dart blaster that can fire 10 darts from its rotating drum feed. The light-up blaster is a pretty faithful replica of the Needler, one of the mainstay Covenant weapons from the halo game franchise and it has a display stand to show it off.
The Ember Mug 2 is a smart mug that keeps drinks hot. The accompanying iOS and Android apps allow you to dial in a specific temperature, from 120 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
The AirFly Duo features long- lasting battery life and an integrated 3.5mm cord. It can also connect up to two sets of headphones, making it a great choice for listening to in-flight entertainment.
Western Digital’s storage expansion cards for Xbox Series X / S consoles are speedy, plug-and-play cards that match the performance of the consoles’ onboard SSDs. They offer a slightly lower-cost alternative to Seagate’s expansion cards, which were the only game in town for years.
120 hours of battery life, large 53mm drivers,usb-C charging, and a boom mic are what the HyperX Cloud III Wireless has to offer. It also continues cloud’s legacy of being relatively light and comfortable.
The InZone H3 is the wired (3.5mm / USB-A) model in Sony’s latest lineup of gaming headsets, which are compatible with both PlayStation and PC. You can customize the sound profile of InZone headsets with the InZone companion app and Sony’s Spatial Sound Personalizer.

Review of the Fitbit Charge 6 and YeediVac 2 Pro: Two Amazon Prime Day Best Tech Gadgets for Under $200
The Fitbit Charge 6 features a haptic side button, an improved heart rate algorithm, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, and the ability to broadcast your heart rate on certain Bluetooth gym equipment. Don’t forget to read our review.
The L20 Ultra is a great all around bot that can remove its mop pads to vacuum carpet and do the splits with its mops to better clean your baseboards. It has 7,000Pa suction and a bigger base station and fewer advanced cleaning features than the newer X30 and X40 Ultra models, but it’s still an excellent robot vacuum.
The Q5 Pro has a big 770ml bin, 5,500Pa of suction power, and can be paired with an auto-empty dock, making it a great budget option when it’s on sale. It has a small water tank built in and a mop that has aremovable mopping pad. The app is very good because it has dual rubber brushes, lidar mapping and keep-out zones.
The YeediVac 2 Pro has a lot of high-end features, but at a low price. Its navigation is spotty and its power is limited, but you can get it for under $200 which is a real bargain. Take a look at our review.

MopBots: A Gaming Laptop with a High-Speed Mechanical Keyboard and HDMI Ports for the Modern X-ray and Spectroscopy
There is a bot with a dock that can empty its bin, fill it with water, and clean its mops. There’s no AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and no heated mop drying, but it has a compact dock and works with the excellent Roborock app. It can also lift its mops over carpet and has a rubber brush that’s less prone to tangling.
The latest version of Nuphy’s Air mechanical keyboard is outstanding. This one omits a numpad but still includes arrow keys and a full row of function keys that double as media keys. It comes in black, gray, and white, with a few different switch options, and it’s both wired and wireless. It also supports both Windows and macOS.
This last-gen gaming laptop is a great amalgamation of parts: 165Hz display, an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD for all those 50GB-plus game installations. It’s rare to find a midrange gaming laptop like this for anywhere near $1,000.
One of the highlights of the Q7 is its two HDMI ports for modern consoles like the Xbox Series X and the one with a native 120Hz refresh. One of the two HDMI ports has eARC support.
