AI-generated summary
We’ve arrived at the final day of Prime Day, which at this point should probably be called “Prime Week.” We’ve found discounts on all manner of gadgets, including TVs, smart home tech, chargers, headphones, and more. Some of the best deals have started selling out at some retailers, so if you’ve been craving a popular upgrade like the AirPods Max 2, time is running low.
The good news is that our team is still hard at work, and in addition to the deals that remain in stock, the retailers sometimes save up a few extras for the last day (like this Echo Spot that got a little cheaper). This roundup is our pride and joy; the culmination of over four days of deal hunting by our entire team. We’ve worked tirelessly for the last week and arrived at a list of over 120 discounted items (and growing) that we’re happy to share with you.
Of course, our Prime Day coverage spans every category The Verge staff touches, and is a great place to explore the full breadth of discounts we’re able to find on the stuff we’ve tested, regularly use, and love. We genuinely enjoy helping you save on cool tech and fun gadgets that are actually worth your hard-earned money, especially when everything is getting more expensive.

Sony WH-1000XM6
$ 378$ 45016 % off

Sony’s last-gen WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are selling for $198 at Amazon, which is the retailer’s best price yet. The set debuted for $399.99 and only really started dropping in price when its successor was released. While the XM6 gets the edge in terms of sound quality, comfort, and for having a foldable design, the XM5 are still fantastic — arguably the best over-ear headphones you can get at this price.

JBL might not be the first brand you associate with great over-ear noise-canceling headphones, but its Tour One M3 Smart Tx are a sleeper hit that’s currently down to its best price yet at Amazon. You can grab them for $249.95, which is $200 off their original price. They’re comfortable, and they sound great.

Apple is raising prices on its iPads, so even getting the old price while you still can is a deal. The new prices are already reflected on Apple’s own site, but some retailers still have lingering pre-increase rates or even discounts that are now significantly cheaper then the what an iPad will cost moving forward. We can’t say how long this will be the case.
iPad (2025)
$ 299$ 44933 % off
$ 299
Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use, even if it is getting a little long in the tooth. Its high-res screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is still fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps. Read our review.
