Our top pick

Echo Spot
$44.99 at Amazon
$79.99 Save $35.00
with Prime

In celebration of the upcoming Prime Day shopping event, Amazon released — and dropped the price on — a brand-new device dubbed the Echo Spot. Designed to sit atop your nightstand and serve as a sleek, smart alarm clock, the Spot will help you wake up and wind down. While it doesn't have an integrated camera, it does allow you to see time, weather, song titles, and more at a glance and control your smart devices with your voice. Priced at $79.99, Prime members can score this deal ahead of Prime Day for only $44.99.

Amazon's closest iPad competitor, the Fire Max 11 tablet, is down to a new low price at Amazon as part of a productivity bundle deal. The 64GB tablet comes with a keyboard case and a stylus and is down to $224.99 (reg. $354.97). The Fire Max 11 is our favorite budget tablet, thanks to its crisp 11-inch display (the biggest Fire tablet to date), 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, upgraded octa-core processor, and WiFi 6 compatibility. Its 14-hour battery life is also a major selling point. Even bundled together with the stylus and case it's still fraction of the cost of a new iPad.

Read our full review of the Fire Max 11 tablet.

JBL Tune 230NC TWS earbuds
$44.95 at Amazon
$99.95 Save $55.00

"Only a handful of affordable noise-cancelling true wireless earphones are worth your attention, but you can add JBL’s Tune 230NC earbuds to that list," our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) wrote in their review. If you're looking for earbuds on a budget that actually sound good and cancel surrounding noise, it's going to be hard to beat the JBL Tune 230NC TWS buds at their current sale price of $44.95 (reg. $99.95). That's their lowest price since last Prime Day, when they dropped down to $39.95.

Want to blast your favorite summer jams on the go? Snag this Sony Bluetooth speaker at a record-low price at Amazon. The SRSXB13 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet delivers booming bass and a sound diffusion processor to expand your tunes far and wide. It's also waterproof and dustproof and lasts for up to 16 hours on a single charge, making it a solid companion for hiking, biking, camping, and other outdoor adventures. It's regularly $59.99, but you can snag it ahead of Prime Day for only $34.99.

Shark SpeedStyle
$159.99 at Amazon
$199.99 Save $40.00
for curly and coily hair

Last, but certainly not least, we have the Shark SpeedStyle on sale for just $159.99 ahead of Prime Day. That's a savings of 20% and a match for its lowest price on record at Amazon. It's been out less than a year, but has already made a name for itself as another Dyson Supersonic dupe that gives you salon-quality blowouts without heat damage. It offers four heat and three airflow settings and a handful of attachments for customization. This particular model is designed for curly hair and includes the DefrizzFast Diffuser, QuickSmooth Brush, and RapidGloss Finisher.
