Prime Big Deal Days (aka "October Prime Day") runs Oct. 6 and 7, with competing festivities at Target and Walmart. Deals are underway, 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.Deals marked with a ✅ are Mashable editor favorites. Deals marked with a strikethrough are no longer available but could return once the sale starts.Best headphone deal $319 at Amazon $359 Save $40 Why we like itAhead of 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. An right now, they're $319, down from $359 — a $40 saving that makes them an even better value.More headphone dealsJBL Tune 730BT headphones — $59.95 $89.95 (save $30)Beats Solo 4 wireless headphones — $99.95 $199.95 (save $100)Beats Studio Pro — $149.95 $299.99 (save $150.04)Sony WH-1000XM5 — $198 $248 (save $50)Sony WH-1000XM6 — $378 $459.99 (save $81.99)More wireless earbuds dealsSoundcore P30i by Anker noise-cancelling earbuds — $24.99 $49.99 (save $25) ✅Nothing Ear (3) — $99 $149 (save $50)Beats Fit Pro (1st Gen) sports earbuds — $124.95 $199.95 (save $75)Soundcore Sleep A30 Special — $168.99 $199.99 (save $32)Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 — $179.95 $249.95 (save $70)Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 — $189 $229 (save $39) ✅Technics EAH-AZ100 — $234.99 $299.99 (save $65)Best Apple deal $179 at Amazon $249 Save $70 Why we like itThe basic AirPods just got an upgrade with the new AirPods 5, and last year's Apple AirPods Pro 3 are back on sale.

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.

The 55-inch model is on sale for less than $500 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, which is 44% off and its best price on record. While Amazon's art TV isn't quite as impressive in the specs department as Samsung's, it does offer a free art gallery and a wide selection of frame options at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions Prime Big Deal Days is an annual shopping event hosted by Amazon in early October, and it's become the unofficial start to the Black Friday and holiday shopping season. Informally, many people call this event "October Prime Day," but that's just a nickname. This year's sale starts on Tuesday, Oct. 6 and ends at midnight on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Amazon sales typically begin and end around 3 a.m. ET. Before the Prime Big Deal Days event kicks off on Oct. 6, Amazon is dropping plenty of early deals. Already, you can save 50% or more on select Fire TV streaming devices and Fire tablets. In addition, you can sign up for Audible standard plans for just $0.99, or try Kindle Unlimited for free for three months.Our shopping experts have also spotted savings on popular products from Apple, Beats, Bose, Garmin, and Samsung, so there are plenty of chances to save. Technically, Amazon only hosts its marquee Prime Day sale once a year in the summer. However, it also holds two other Prime-exclusive events in the spring and fall. Prime Big Deal Days is the latter.
