Today we are talking a hands-on look at the brand new Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker. The combination home and on-the-go speaker immediately caught our eye at launch with the retro chic design, and now it’s time to see if its impressive looks and sound quality are worth the price of entry. Head below for our hands-on impressions of the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker in the latest edition of Tested with 9to5Toys.

For some folks it’s all about the latest and greatest, and for others it’s just about landing a sweet iPad without spending a fortune. There’s no denying how pricey the new M2 iPad Air can be, never mind the M4 iPad Pro, but that’s where the current-gen iPhone 10th Gen comes in – you can score one of these down at $299 shipped, which all things considered is wild for a tablet Apple still sells in its storefronts. However, if you’re just looking for a ultra-affordable, super casual solution, perhaps as a spare, something to take on road trips, or just for the kids, Amazon’s offer on the iPad 9th Gen at $199 shipped is worth consideration. 

This afternoon’s collection of the best Android games and apps now on sale at Google Play are waiting for you down below. On your way down, stop by the deals we are tracking on the Nest Audio Smart Speaker as well as new all-time low pricing on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra wearable, the brand’s Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and this offer on Razer’s haptics-enabled Kishi V2 Pro Android gamepad. As for the apps, highlight titles include Crying Suns, Rush Rally 3, Little Big Workshop, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

We have featured a ton of interesting and traditional iPhone 16 cases this year already. Some have seriously impressed us, some with Camera Control buttons, and some with onboard physical gaming controls, but the Clicks case is the first one that adds a complete hardware keyboard to your new Apple headset. 

Just after featuring Spigen’s new affordable stainless steel bracelet-style band for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra at $37, a pair of its even more affordable models have now surfaced starting from $22. The Spigen Lite Fit Nylon Solo Loop has been a go-to among Apple Watch users for years and it is now ready to neatly attach to your 47mm Ultra at an ultra-affordable price tag. Scope it out below along with the new DuraPro Flex model at $25. 

This morning’s lineup of App Store price drops are now ready and waiting down below. Joining a host of hangover Prime Day discounts on Apple gear, including an all-time low on the black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2, the M2 MacBook Air at $749, and price drops across nearly the entire Apple Pencil lineup, not to mention the best deal yet on the all-new Beats Solo Buds, but it’s time for the app deals. Highlights include titles like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Crying Suns, Rush Rally 3, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

While many of the Prime Big Deal Days offers have come and gone, Woot is has a sweet deal waiting on Kirby and the Forgotten Land alongside a host of other ongoing Switch titles down below. Folks who haven’t scooped up a copy of the Kirby’s latest full-length adventure can grab one today at $39.99 with free shipping for Prime members (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This is a regularly $60 title that is currently out of stock at Amazon where it rarely goes on sale and almost never down at $40. This is a delightful 3D platforming adventure that delivers on much of the whimsical gameplay mechanics and visuals the Kirby series is known for, just inside of a brand new world with abandoned structures and “remnants of a past civilization.” The Copy action is back with the new Drill and Ranger abilities alongside Mouthful Mode – “inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode—swallowing a vending machine will allow you to shoot out cans.” Head below for more. 

Today Twelve South is unleashing its brand new MagSafe charging stand, the HiRise 2 Deluxe. Trading out the 3-in-1 setup available on its wonderful HiRise 3 Deluxe for a more compact and streamlined approach, the new HiRise 2 Deluxe delivers a magnetic charging stand for your iPhone with an additional Qi pad hidden in the base for AirPods or another handset. Now available for purchase starting today from Twelve South, we will detail the new release down below alongside some early hands-on impressions. 

Update: This Prime Day all-time low is still live folks!

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is now ushering in all-time low pricing on the new black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2. The black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 configuration has now dropped to $729.99 shipped with your choice of the Black Trail Loop or the new Dark Green Alpine Loop. The new black titanium Ultra 2 was unveiled and released last month with the same MSRP as the natural titanium model at $799, but has now dropped to its best price ever for the fall Prime Day event at Amazon. 

Amazon is stepping in today with a particularly notable deal on Apple’s M2 MacBook Air starting at $749 shipped. This one first landed on Amazon at $1,099 but these days carries a regular price at $999 to deliver at least $150 in savings. While we did see it bounce down to $799 a number of times this past summer leading into the back to school deals, it is now at one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked in new condition. You’ll also find this deal available at Best Buy today. 

The Arc Pulse has been one of the most popular options this year among 9to5 readers, bumper style or otherwise. It would seem more and more folks are looking to leave the Apple design and their color of choice on display while still trying to maintain some semblance of drop protection at the same time, and the Arc Pulse very much does that. But let’s dive in with some hands-on impressions to see how everything shakes out in practice. 

Welcome to our top 10 best Prime Day deals still live list. This has become a tradition around here, rounding up our absolute favorite deals you can land across a range of categories, all with fantastic prices you’ll want to jump on as soon as possible. While the fall Prime Day event isn’t scheduled to officially end until 3 a.m. ET tonight, many of the best deals just won’t hold on that long and neither will the gear in our top 10 list. Some of Apple’s best and most exciting gear is on tap as well as some utterly wild price drops on Samsung’s latest earbuds and Apple Home Key locks, not to mention the nest prices ever on the popular Anker Prime power stations. Head below for a closer look at the 10 best Prime Day deals still live before it’s too late.

We have already rounded up all of the best deals live for the second half of Amazon’s 2-day
Prime Big Deal Days event, highlighted our favorite deals you can score for under $25, and now it’s time to zero-in on the iPhone 16 users. Apple just unleashed and shipped out its latest handset some two weeks ahead of the big October Prime event, and there are some seriously great accessories on sale right now to enhance your experience at a discount. Head below for the Best fall Prime Day deals for iPhone 16 owners.

We are now approaching the mid-way point of the last 24 hours of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event and it’s time to tap in to serve up our favorite fall Prime Day deals for under $25. The fall Prime Day event has delivered some seriously notable price drops on big ticket items, from Apple Watch Ultra 2 and MacBooks, to Sony headphones, Snapdragon PCs, and power stations, but there’s some serious steals to score right now under $25. While Apple’s AirTag down at $24.99 Prime shipped is getting an honorable mention this year, you’ll definitely want to make sure our top picks below are on your radar today before they sell out.

As part of the Prime Big Deal Days event, the official Petcube Amazon storefront is now offering a series of solid deals on its intelligent dedicated pet smart cameras. Alongside some of the even more affordable models, below, one standout here is the brand’s Petcube Play 2 Wi-Fi Pet Camera with the onboard laser toy at $63.99 shipped. While this one tends to fetch $80 these days, it would have costed you $199 through most of last year. You’re looking at up to $136 below that and at 20% under the more recent going rate. 

Update 2/21: As promised, the charming new Nintendo Alarmo sound clock is now available for purchase at Best Buy for everyone. 

Update: Previously only available to Switch Online members via the My Nintendo Store, Nintendo has now announced that Alarmo “will be available in stores at participating retailers in March 2025, no Nintendo Switch Online membership required. Available while supplies last.”

While Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is now well into its final 24 hours, we just had to take a quick break to talk about the brand new Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo – “an interactive alarm clock designed to add some Nintendo charm to your home and your daily routine.” It’s not everyday we see new hardware from Nintendo, and certainly not a new smart alarm clock of sorts loaded with Mushroom Kingdom charm and motion sensor technology. Scope it out below. 

Update: Joining the now live fall Prime Day deal on the current-gen, and more affordable Nothing Ear (a) wireless at $77, Amazon is now offering its best price yet on the flagship Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds at $118 – that’s $1 below the previous best. Details in original post below. 

Amazon is now bringing back its all-time low price on the semi-transparent Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds at $119 shipped as part of a limited-time Lightning deal. This means you’ll have a limited time to claim the low price before the discounted stock runs dry. While listed with a regular price tag at $159 on Amazon, they actually carry at $149 MSRP and have now returned to lowest price we have tracked since release in April 2024. The discounted stock is already 43% claimed (at the time of writing), so jump in as soon as possible if you’re interested. 

While we are tracking a rare $50 price drop on the new Google Pixel 9 256GB for the fall Prime Day event, folks looking for a more affordable mid-tier, and yet still current-generation Google handset are in luck – the Google Pixel 8a has hit a new Amazon low. Regularly $499, you can now secure one at $379.05 shipped in all four colorways. That’s nearly $120 off the going rate, $20 under the July Prime Day price, and the lowest we have tracked on Amazon since release earlier this year. 

Update: This deal is back again on all colors – you’ll find the current-gen iPad 10th Gen going for $299 shipped via Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event. Details below in the original post.

We have the return of the current-generation iPad 10 down at $299 shipped. You’ll find most colors at this price on Amazon right now as part of its Prime Big Deal Days event. Apple’s latest entry-level iPad carried a regular price at $449 until it saw an official price cut in May to $349 shipped. Outside of some wildly and extremely fleeting price drops that topped out at about $25 less during Prime Day – these deals only lasted a few hours at best, today’s offer is matching the lowest price we have tracked. 

The Prime Big Deal Days event is now in full swing by with massive price drops at the ready across every product category alongside today’s App Store deals. You’ll all of the best fall Prime Day deals waiting in our master hub, just be sure to scope out the return of all-time low pricing on AirPods Pro 2 at $169, the best price ever on Apple Pencil Pro, a massive up to $275 off Apple’s M3 MacBook Air, and $150 off all 256GB and 512GB M4 iPad Pro configs. But it’s all about the apps right now and you’ll find them all below. 

The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event is now in full swing, featuring loads of notable price on console games and accessories on this landing page. But Walmart is offering one of the standout deals today with Super Mario Bros. Wonder down at $41.99 shipped for Walmart+ members. This deal will be live for everyone at 12:00 p.m. ET, but if you can’t wait Woot has it right now for $44.99 Prime shipped. Regularly $60, this must-have Switch game is still up at over $52 on Amazon where it has never sold for as low as we are tracking right now elsewhere. Head below for more of the best fall Prime Day game deals.

The 2024 Amazon Prime Day deals are now live as part of its fall Prime Big Deal Days event. The October sale is effectively the exact same thing as what we get during the summer sale – massive price drops across a broad range of categories from Apple, Samsung, and Google gear to Amazon in-house tech, smart home products, e-bikes, power stations, just about anything you could ever want for your PC gaming battlestation, charging gear, accessories, of all kinds, and so much more. We will be updating our 2024 fall Prime Day hub with the best deals as they go live over the next 48 hours, so be sure to head back over throughout the event’s duration as we uncover all of the most notable price drops live for this year’s Prime Big Deal Days. 

Deals on UAG’s iPhone cases, as well as its Apple Watch bands are rare at best, but this is Prime Big Deal Days after all, and frankly just about no one is safe from the discounts. This year, UAG is offering a selection of its new iPhones 16 case at up to 37% off as well as its Apple Watch bands at up to 50% off, and that includes options for just about any Cupertino wearable you might have. I have already weighed in with a hands-on review on what I love about the brand’s military-inspired iPhone cases just recently, and the same applies for its Apple Watch straps (especially the Active Watch Straps – I’m a big fan of these)…now’s your chance to save some cash on them, and a rare one at that. You’ll find a list of the models actually seeing price drops down below. 

As part of its Prime Big Deal Days event, the official Anker Amazon storefront is getting in on the fall festivities with a series of big-time price drops across its lineup of 2024 Prime power stations, MagSafe Qi2 15W charging stands, power banks, and more. Anker has long been a popular brand around here and its latest Prime power station units with built-in real-time power status analytics  top the list, spanning a range of desktop and portable solutions with varying degrees of power. They were featured in our roundup of the best new chargers that can power iPhone 16 (and just about anything else you own) at the full USB-C 45W max and delivering striking, conversation—starting designs. The brand’s Prime Big Deal Days  price drops are now live on these and a series of its latest 15W Qi2 MagSafe stands and you’ll find some highlights waiting down below. 

As part of its early Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is now offering a particularly solid price drop on the latest Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones from $329 shipped. Regularly $429, we rarely ever see this set with a straight up $100 price drop. They dropped to $349 in the early Prime Day deals this past July, but now we are tracking an additional $20 off and match for the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon. The discount is only live on the black set as of right now, but you are looking at one of the best sets of over-ears out there at $70 under the price of heavily discounted previous-generation AirPods Max.

As part of its early Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is now offering the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro down at $299.95 shipped. This higher-end countertop cooker carries a $400 list price and is now seeing solid $100 drop ahead of the fall Prime Day event. Having only seen a couple notable discounts all year at Amazon, this rarely discounted kitchen upgrade is now matching the lowest price we have seen there across 2024, landing on par the price we saw during the July Prime Day sale. 

The best fall Prime Day smart TV deals went live early today (one day before the main event) with even more to come and this is the place to find them all in one place. That includes brands like LG and Sony as well as the value-packed 2024 models from Hisense and TCL alongside Amazon and other budget-friendly solutions. More and more folks are opting for these more wallet-conscious offerings, and frankly so have we as of late. We are already tracking massive deals on the 2024 LG OLEDs – one of the more popular solutions among folks who like to go big-time – alongside as much as $1,000 in savings on the latest from Hisense and TCL. Head below for our collection of the best Prime Big Deal Days smart TV deals and be sure to check back as even more go live over the next two days. 

This afternoon’s roundup of Android app price drops is now ready to go, and we are tracking a fall Prime Day-worthy collection of titles today. On your way down, be sure to check out the price drops we now have live on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra as well as TCL’s new NXTFRAME Google Smart TVs at up to $1,000 off, the early fall Prime Day OnePlus deals live, and the new all-time low we spotted on Pixel Watch 2. As for the apps, highlights include title like Kingdom: New Lands, Kingdom Eighties, Kingdom Two Crowns, 7 Billion Humans, Bad North: Jotunn Edition, and much more. Hit the jump for a closer look at today’s best. 

Now on the horizon of the massive fall Prime Day event at Amazon, the deals are reaching over to the App Store this morning already. Before you dive into the app price drops, scope out the new all-time lows we are now tracking on the 46mm silver Apple Watch Series 10 as well as Apple Pencil Pro and this deep price drop on Apple’s AirPods Max at $150 off. Those join the very first price drops and subsequent all-time lows on the new Beats Solo Buds and the Beats Pill portable speaker with Find My tracking, but for now it’s all about the apps and we have a top-notch selection of titles for you waiting below. 

Update: Madden NFL 25 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is now at the $47.99 Amazon low. You’ll also find EA’s College Football 25 down at the same price right now. 

Alongside the solid $50 price drops we featured on PlayStation consoles over the weekend, Best Buy and Amazon have now launched notable PS5 game sales headlined by Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 down at $49.99 shipped. You’ll find this deal at both retailers with a nearly 30% drop from the regular $70 list price. This is matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon since the latest adventure in Insomniac’s webslinger series was released. Peter Parker and Miles Morales make a triumphant return in this arguably must-have PS5 exclusive – “swing, jump, and utilize the new Web Wings to travel across Marvel’s New York, quickly switching between Peter Parker and Miles Morales to experience different stories and epic new powers.” But don’t forget about Venom that “threatens to destroy their lives, their city, and the ones they love.” If you haven’t added this one to your collection yet, you really ought to consider it. You’ll also find up to 75% off a range first- and third-party PlayStation 4 and 5 games including Uncharted titles, the Dead Space remake, Death Stranding, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and more – you can check them out on this page. 

The 2024 Prime Big Deal Days offers on a range of Hisense’s new 2024 Google smart TVs are scheduled to hit today and are now live. Alongside the offers you’ll find below across the lineup, we are going to highlight the new Amazon all-time low on the latest Hisense 55-inch Class U7 Series mini-LED 4K QLED Google TV for $547.99 shipped. Regularly $800, this is a sizable 32% or $252 in savings to deliver the lowest price we have tracked to date. This same TV is selling for $550 directly from Best Buy, for comparison’s sake. Head below for a look at the specs and additional fall Prime Day Hisense TV deals. 

The Beats Solo Buds were unveiled back in April, shortly before we had a chance to go hands-on and dub them “one of the most intriguing new products from Beats in a long time.” Pricing has held at the MSRP, unlike some of the other newer releases from the brand, but Target is giving its Circle members (free to sign up) the very first chance to save today on the Arctic Purple set. We are very much hoping to see Amazon put the other colors on sale for the first time starting tomorrow for fall Prime Day – finger’s crossed – but it does not offer this soft purple treatment anyway, making today’s price drop from the full $80 down to $49.99 shipped a notable Prime-adjacent deal worth consideration right now. 

Update: The deal below is now live once again.

While we tend to hold off on featuring Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 until they fall down into the $180 range, with the series of new features just announced for the flagship earbuds, today’s deal at $189.99 shipped via Amazon is worth a mention. Regularly $249, the AirPods Pro 2 remain atop the Apple wireless buds lineup and now sit alongside the new AirPods 4 – $129 for basic set or $179 with ANC. Today’s deal lands AirPods Pro 2 at $59 off and just $10 above the higher-end AirPods 4 – the pro set offers 2x better noise cancellation than new AirPods 4. 

We are now tracking the very first chance to save on the official new slate Apple Watch Milanese Loop at $85.99 shipped via Amazon. This new colorway landed alongside the Series 10 and black Ultra 2 carrying a regular price tag at $99. But today Amazon is offering the first price drop and a subsequent all-time low in the process. Apple’s in-house Milanese bands aren’t cheap, so you might as well save some cash if you’re looking to add one of these elegant straps to your arsenal of bands. 

Update: The wild $130 price drop never really had much of a chance to stick around for that long, but the actual fall Prime Day pricing is now live at $229.99.

As part of its early Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is now offering the amazing Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones at a wildly low $130 $229.99 shipped. While they are the previous-generation set – the newer XM5 set are liekly to be something like $100 off for the fall Prime Day event starting tomorrow, they are easily among the most beloved over-ear headphones on the planet and they are now undercutting just about all of the worthy competition by a serious margin. Regularly $348, this is a massive $218+ price drop, the best we can find, and the lowest price we have ever tracked. They basically never drop below $228 outside of extremely fleeting offers, and now’s your chance to save big. 

While the new iPad mini 7 is likely on the horizon now, Amazon is now offering a particularly notable deal on the, as of right now, latest iPad mini 6 with the 256GB storage upgrade and the bonus 2 years of Apple Care+ down at $398 shipped. This configuration carries a $649 MSRP and the Apple Care+ bundle typically goes for between $599 and and $699 at Amazon. Today’s deal leaves you with some serious savings at up to $251 off, and that’s before you even factor in the extra Apple coverage. 

Spigen has now unleashed its new Modern Fit stainless band for Galaxy Watch Ultra. Samsung’s latest flagship wearable is only available with the usual set of more sporty bands, leaving folks to explore the third-party market if they are looking to switch it up to something more elegant. While the Marine, Trail, and Peakform official bands are arguably more suitable for the active lifestyle the Ultra is largely made to support, I always like to have an option or two to switch up the vibes for an evening out, family gatherings, or something along these lines, and Spigen is ready to help the cause without completely breaking the bank – these steel bracelet-style smartwatch bands can get very, very expensive. It is available for purchase down at just $36.99 via its Amazon storefront and you can get a closer look down below. 

There’s nothing worse than scratching up your brand new iPhone 16 display, never mind fracturing it into pieces, so let’s take a look at our favorite iPhone 16 screen protectors. There are literally thousands of different options out there, some super affordable, some very much not, so we thought we would list out the options we have used ourselves across both categories to make the buying decision a little bit easier for folks. Head below for a closer look at the best new screen protectors for iPhone 16. 

Today we are going hands-on with the new UAG Civilian iPhone 16 Case. The brand is well known for its ultra-protective solutions for Apple’s handsets, but it is the mid-ranger Civilian that catches my eye first, managing to both offer a notable level of protection without looking (or feeling) like there’s a gigantic chunk of plastic around my phone. Let’s dive in down below with some hands-on impressions to see how this year’s model stacks up against Apple’s latest handset design. 

Alongside some of the other models highlighted below, Amazon is now offering big-time price drop on the gorgeous Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine down at $679.95 shipped. You’re looking at a regularly $850 coffee maker that has now dropped back down to the lowest price we have tracked this year on Amazon with $170 in savings. We have seen this deal roughly a handful of times this year at Amazon, but this time around you can take your pick from all four colorways. 

The official ESR Amazon storefront is giving iPhone 16 users a shot at scoring some screen protectors at a super low price today – and I’m talking as low as $2 a pop here. There are a few different 3-packs on sale via Amazon right now for all four iPhone 16 models, but they are all relatively similar with a 9H hardness and a similar build quality – the main difference is the applicator they come with to ease the installation process. All three of which, along with the discounted prices are detailed below.

Friday morning’s collection of the best price drops on the App Store are now ready and waiting for you down below. On your way down, be sure to scope out the deals we spotted today on the 2024 Space Black M4 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, the silver 46mm silver Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple’s 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM at up to $400 off. As for the app highlights, we have titles like 1849, unmemory, Tempest Pirate RPG, Tiny Orchestra, To The Moon, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

Update: While the code below was working for us earlier, this may have been a mistake and it now looks as though QVC has shut it down.

While some of the big-time price drops we spotted on game deals at QVC have come and gone, we have an even better one on the new Super Mario Party: Jamboree ahead of release on October 17. New QVC customers (or the new account you just made) can land the game down at $39.99 shipped ahead of release using code WELCOME20 at checkout. Regularly $60 and currently out of stock at Amazon, this is the lowest price we have tracked yet and, frankly, a notable price for any brand new Switch game. This one debuted during Nintendo’s major summer Direct event as one of the big titles in its holiday release schedule and now’s your chance to secure a copy at what will likely be on par with the best we see all year – new Nintendo releases rarely ever go for less than this in the first six months or so. 

The official Journey Prime Big Deals Days sale is now live some four days before the official event kicks off – the deals are live on Amazon and the official site. This time around the brand is offering up to 50% off a range of MagSafe gear, chargers, 3-in-1 stands, travel chargers, MacBook sleeves with onboard charging action, and its latest Apple Find My gear starting from $17.50. While most of the gear sits somewhere between 25% and 40% off, it is generally rare to see the Apple accessory brand offer anything more than 20% (outside of the off 30% launch deal like we are seeing on its new full-grain Apple Watch band). Scope out the details down below. 

It might not be the sweet new 30th anniversary edition, but we are tracking a rare chance to save on the Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player today. Best Buy’s open-box listing in excellent condition with a full 1-year warranty is now sitting down at $161.99 shipped. Navigate to this page, choose the excellent condition option, and then scroll down and choose shipping before adding to the cart. While that’s a not massive markdown from the usual $199 price tag, deals on this thing are rare at best. Still up at the full MSRP on Amazon where it has never dropped below $195 in brand new condition, the best renewed price we can find there has it going for $179.99, and that’s from a third-party seller.
