Ring Stick Up Cam 3rd Gen (Amazon Refurbished) — $40, was $90

This weather-resistant security camera offers two-way talk, so you can converse with whoever is on the other side of the live feed, plus it works with Amazon’s Alexa.

This amazing record player is a healthy blend of retro function and style and modern technology. It plays vinyl (records), MP3s, CDs, has an AM/FM radio, auxiliary port, and also supports wireless Bluetooth. Basically, if you can play it, this thing offers an opportunity to listen to it. You don’t need any stereo equipment or extra gear, either. Here’s the best part: As part of the Best of Tech sale, it’s discounted heavily down from its full price, and it’s brand new.

These excellent Klipsch speakers are hugely discounted for Prime Day
The Klipsch R-41PM Powered Bookshelf Speakers on a desk.

The shiny golden cones of Klipsch's entire loudspeaker lineup are instantly recognizable and add a unique glint of opulence to the masses of matte black AV components out there. And given the 70-plus years that the American audio company has been around, their stuff just so happens to sound pretty fantastic, too. So, for Amazon Prime Day, we present exhibits A and B: the small but powerful Klipsch R-41PM powered bookshelf speakers and the thumping 400-watt Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer, both of which are hugely discounted (40% and 52% off, respectively) and ripe for the taking.
Klipsch R-41PM powered bookshelf speakers -- $299, were $499

The Fire TV Stick is 58% off, the cheapest it’s ever been
Two Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max sticks in hand.

Even though most modern TVs come with some form of smart TV platform, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll like it, especially if you're already ingrained in another ecosystem. That's where the Amazon Fire TV stick comes into play, allowing Amazon users to gain access to the Amazon ecosystem with a simple little device, and it's even going for very cheap right now. While it's normally $40, you can grab it for just $17 from Amazon, which is great, especially if you want to grab a couple of different TVs.

Why you should buy the Fire TV Stick
Of course, if you're not familiar with what is the Amazon Fire TV, it's a little device that attaches to your HDMI port and lets you stream directly from the stick, which hosts Amazon's Fire Smart TV platform. Another important thing to know about the Fire TV Stick is that it runs on FHD resolutions only; if you want something that can handle 4k TVs, you should pick up the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which has many great extra features. Under the plastic, you'll find a dual-core processor, dedicated VideoCore4 GPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may not seem like much, but it still provides a relatively snappy experience when browsing all the channels. There's also 8GB storage to save a couple of episodes of something, and a dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi adapter that provides a strong internet connection so you can stream everything without lag or issues.

Amazon’s take on the Apple AirPods are down to $35 right now
amazon echo buds 2023 review 7

If you're thinking about buying wireless earbuds but you're on a tight budget, you should check out the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds. They were just released last month, but they're already part of this year's Prime Day deals with a $15 discount that makes their already low price of $50 even more affordable, as you can get them for just $35. They're a steal for this cheap, but a lot of shoppers will be thinking that as well, so it's highly recommended that you buy the wireless earbuds right now while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds
The third-generation Amazon Echo Buds are already included in our roundup of the best cheap headphones and earbuds because they come with a price that's tough to beat. There's a lot of technologies that you can find in the best wireless earbuds, like the Apple AirPods Pro 2, that are missing in the Amazon Echo Buds 2023, including active noise cancellation and wireless charging, but for what they cost, they're considered a decent set of wireless earbuds. They even slightly make up for the lack of ANC through a semi-in-ear design that helps reduce noise.
