The best October Prime Day Deals at a glance:
Another Amazon Prime Day is here. Prime Big Deal Days (aka "October Prime Day") runs Oct. 6 and 7, and deals are officially live, delivering major sales across all categories.
October Prime Day deals could be a chance to get some relief from the RAMageddon price hikes impacting the tech industry this year. For its part, Amazon increased the prices of nearly two dozen Kindles, Fire TV Sticks, Echo smart speakers, and eero routers this summer because of rising component costs. Seasonal sales like Prime Big Deal Days (and later Black Friday) could offset some of those markups.
We've sifted through hundreds of October Prime Day deals to find the best ones for you. With the sale ramping up, prices are dropping. Kindles are now on sale, and the AirPods Pro 3 are $70 off. We'll be regularly updating our picks throughout Prime Big Deal Days. You can also check out our guide to the top October Prime Day tech deals for more savings.
How do we choose deals? Mashable shopping reporters and editors regularly review the latest products from brands like Apple, Bose, Kindle, Ninja, Sony, and Samsung. We've also been covering major shopping events like Prime Big Deal Days for almost a decade. Before recommending a deal, we use price-tracking tools to make sure the product is at a compelling price, and we prioritize products with record-low discounts. We also check prices at other retailers (big-box stores like Target and Walmart are also hosting sales this week) so we can point you to the lowest price at any given moment, even if it's not at Amazon.
Deals marked with a ✅ are Mashable editor favorites and award winners. Deals marked with a strikethrough are no longer available.

Why we like it
For October Prime Day, we spotted the first deal on the second-generation Bose QuietComfort headphones. Mashable's audio expert Bethany Allard says that the Bose QuietComfort (2nd gen) are the best combination of comfort, noise cancellation, sound quality, and value in headphones right now. Currently, they're $319, down from $359 — a $40 saving that makes them an even better value.
However, we have to note a fantastic deal on the first-gen Bose QuietComfort headphones, which are 53% off for Prime Big Deal Days. As much as we love the new 2nd Gen model, that price is hard to beat.

Why we like it
The basic AirPods just got an upgrade with the new AirPods 5, and last year's Apple AirPods Pro 3 are back on sale. They were $234 in the lead-up to October Prime Day, but have since dropped to $179 — $70 off their $249 list price. The earbuds have ANC, a more comfortable, redesigned fit, and support for live translation with a compatible iPhone. They're a good pick for commuters and even measure your heart rate during workouts, which is great for athletes who love a good workout playlist.

Why we like it
"If you've been patiently waiting for Kindle deals to drop, the wait is over. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is my favorite e-reader, the one I use every day. With 32GB of storage, it has space for thousands of books. It also has an auto-adjusting front light and wireless charging. It's exceptionally fast, too, with smooth page turns and quick-loading books in my experience.
"In August 2026, the e-reader's MSRP rose to $249.99 from its previous list price of $199.99. Now, the Paperwhite Signature Edition has dropped back down to $169.99. That's 32% off its new list price, a saving of $80 — or $30 compared with its old list price. I'd typically advise you to buy the standard Paperwhite, but right now, it's more expensive than the Signature Edition.
"Plus, when you buy a new Kindle, check whether you're eligible for three free months of Kindle Unlimited with your purchase. Check the renewal terms before signing up." — Joseph Green, Mashable Global Shopping Editor

Kindles aren't the only Amazon devices on sale: You'll also find deals on Amazon's Echos, Fire TVs, and tablets. Our favorite deal is on the Amazon Echo Dot, which is down to just $39.99. That's not the lowest price we've ever spotted, but it's still worth a look if you need a compact smart speaker.
It's also compatible with Alexa+, Amazon's AI assistant, which helps you do everything from meal planning to booking dinner reservations.

"While the S95H OLED from Samsung is my personal dream TV, for most people, the 2026 model S90H is the much better choice. It still has an ultra-premium OLED display and an ultra-fast processor to support gaming, upscaling, and smart features. Best of all, it's never been priced this low. Its $400 discount makes this one of the best Amazon Prime Day TV deals I've found so far." — Timothy Werth, Mashable Tech Editor
