Our top fully wireless outdoor budget security camera is 40% off in this Black Friday deal. The Blink Outdoor camera is easy to set up, and its batteries will last for up to two years before needing to be replaced. It also works with Alexa, and you can view a feed from the camera on a smart display.
This is a great value with 1080p resolution, night vision, motion detection and two-way audio

This 4K smart TV gives you an ultra HD picture with support for HDR 10, and it comes with an Alexa Voice remote so you for launching apps, shows and more. And since this set is powered by the Fire TV software, you’ll have easy access to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, HBO Max and more.

I seriously can’t get that Applebee’s viral song out of my head, but I won’t let that stop me from recommending this Amazon Black Friday deal. Right now you can get a $50 Applebee’s gift card from Amazon for $40, so you save $10.
Note that this deal is for today only. So I would act fast.
Applebees gift card: was $50 now $40
I don’t say this often but holy crap! The MacBook Air M1 is just $799 right now on Amazon. The regular price is $999, but the discounted price is $949 and Amazon is taking another $149.01 off at checkout.
This is one of the best Black Friday MacBook deals ever so I would go very fast. You get a sharp 13.3-inch Retina display, a powerful M1 chip and over 14 hours of battery life, as you’ll see in our MacBook Air M1 review. Go! Go! Go!
MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $799
Still in Stock! This week I played virtual ping pong on the Oculus Quest 2, and I’m hooked. A few years ago my ping pong table got wrecked and it was very cool to have the next best thing right in my living room — without taking up any extra space.
Right now Amazon has the Oculus Quest 2 for its regular price of $299, but it’s offering a $50 Amazon credit that you can apply to pretty much anything, including other great Amazon Black Friday deals.
By the way, the Eleven Table Tennis game is much more challenging than I thought, and I believed myself to be a decent ping pong player. This is going to take more practice…
Oculus Quest 2 (128GB): $299 with $50 Amazon digital credit
Well this is interesting. I just noticed that the AirPods 3 is now just $154.99 at Amazon. The discounted price says $169 but you can save an additional $15 when you check out. That’s a good price for Apple’s newest earbuds. I would hurry though.
As you’ll see in our AirPods 3 review, it’s a great set of wireless earbuds. You get a design with shorter stems and better controls, Spatial Audio support and Adaptive EQ with well-balanced sound. Just note that you don’t get active noise cancellation.
AirPods (3rd generation): was $179 now $154.99 [Update: This deal is coming in and out of stock so it’s worth checking back often.]
Now here’s a good stocking stuffer — or just something to grab for yourself. The Belkin Wall Mount Surge Protector is 24% off now. It has three AC outlets built in plus 2 USB ports, so you can power up to five devices at once without taking up too much space. In fact, this accessory is pretty compact, so I would probably take one with me when I travel.
The 3 AC outlets have a surge protector for safeguarding your gadget, and the two USB ports support fast charging. It’s all packaged in a damage resistant housing that should be able to withstand being thrown in a bag and jostled around. I also like the 360-degree rotating AC plug for maximum flexibility.
Belkin Wall Mount Surge Protector with 2 USB ports: was $19.99 now $15.29
Samsung’s QLED line of TVs has established a reputation for offering pristine image quality for a premium price. But right now you can save up to 35% on Samsung QLEDs at Amazon as part of its Black Friday deals.
The model that has caught my eye is the one I would get. The 65-inch Samsung Q60A QLED TV has dropped from $1,099 to $847, which is 23% off, but there’s a whole range of sizes on sale from 43 inches up to 85 inches. And prices start as low as $497.
Samsung’s quantum dot technology is designed to deliver 100% color volume along with dynamic contrast, resulting in a picture that should wow the family. You also get 4K upscaling via the Quantum Processor and Samsung’s Tizen operating system for easy access to all the best streaming services. Plus, there’s support for both Alexa and Google Assistant built in.
Samsung 65-inch QLED 60A 4K TV: was $1,099 now $847.99
The AirPods Max just got a lot more affordable. Apple’s premium noise cancelling headphones just hit their lowest price ever on Amazon, as they are now $109 off. But what do you get for your money? Actually, a lot.
These retro-style headphones feature large ear cushions, a digital crown for controlling volume and playback, stellar active noise cancellation and Spatial Audio. The Spatial Audio is particularly cool, as it uses head tracking to deliver a surround sound experience when listening to music or watching movies or shows.
In our AirPods Max review, we said that Apple’s wireless headphones offer excellent sound quality, a comfy design and a solid 20 hours of battery life. We would jump on this deal fast.
AirPods Max: was $549 now $439 @ Amazon [lowest price ever]
Portable chargers are an essential part of modern life, and the Anker PowerCore Slim is one of the best. In fact, we rate it second in our list of the best portable chargers, and love the fact that it combines fast 18W charging with a svelte design and big 10,000mAh capacity (enough for two charges of most smartphones).
I actually bought two of these earlier this year for a camping trip — but I wish I’d waited, because right now Amazon has them on sale for $39. That’s $20 off the list price, making it an excellent Black Friday deal.
Anker PowerCore Slim 10,000: was $59 now $39
I’ve used Roku devices at home for years now, and have owned three of the Roku Streaming Stick 4K (the dog ate one — genuinely).
It’s a superb device, which slots into a HDMI port on the back of your TV and serves up 4K footage from all of your favorite streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus and more. It also supports Dolby Vision, plus the remote is great too, controlling your TV’s volume so you don’t need to use more than one.
Right now, Amazon has the Roku Streaming Stick 4K on offer for $29, saving you $20 on the usual price. It’s one of the best streaming bargains you’ll see all year.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K: was $49 now $29
A smart scale is a great tool for keeping on top of your health, and the Withings Body Smart scale is one of the best, sitting at no.3 in our list of the best smart scales. It’s easy to see why: it measures your weight and BMI and syncs with your phone wirelessly so you can get all the latest data at a glance.
Amazon currently has it on offer for $44, which is a 25% saving on the usual $59 price — and it’s available in either black or white so you can make sure it matches your bathroom decor.
Withings Body Smart Weight & BMI Wi-Fi Digital Scale: was $59 now $44
And there’s more good news on the AirPods front — lots of it!
The AirPods 3, Apple’s newest wireless earbuds and one which we described as “a significant step up from the AirPods 2” in our review, has also had a price cut at Amazon. Right now, you can buy the AirPods 3 for $169 at Amazon, which is $10 less than the launch price.
That means they’re actually the same price as the AirPods Pro — so check out our AirPods 3 vs AirPods Pro face-off if you want help choosing between them.
Apple AirPods 3: was $179 now $169
We’ve already covered the Apple AirPods Pro earlier in this live blog, but it’s now dropped in price again to $169 at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen for Apple’s premium wireless earbuds, matching the figure that it dropped to this time last year.
This is arguably a better deal, though, as it now comes with the new MagSafe Charging case. Expect stock to go quickly with this one.
Apple AirPods Pro: was $249 now $169
I’ve decided that one Black Friday purchase I’ll be making is an office chair. Yeah, that’s how exciting I am. But on the other hand, I do work from home 60% of the week and I am currently using a plastic chair from Ikea that creaks constantly and makes my back ache.
I know nothing about office chairs, but I’ve done my research and decided to buy the Flash Furniture Mid-Back Black Mesh Swivel Ergonomic Task Office Chair from Amazon for $128. That’s 39% off the usual price of $209, saving me $81. It gets overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon (4/5 stars from more than 10,000 ratings) and looks like it’ll do the trick. Now all I need is a proper desk.
Flash Furniture Mid-Back Black Mesh Swivel Chair: was $209 now $128
iPads are pretty much the most in-demand tech item this Black Friday, with many models being sold out almost everywhere.
Amazon does have a few, though, including one of our favorites: the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9. And better still, it’s $100 cheaper right now, with Amazon offering it for $999 rather than $1,099. That’s for the 128GB model with Wi-Fi plus all of the treats we raved about in our review, including super-bright display and super-fast M1 processor.
Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (128GB): was $1,099 now $999
Is there anyone, in 2021, who doesn’t yet own a Kindle? Maybe there are some people who just prefer the feel of a real book. I get that — but it doesn’t have to be either/or. Especially not when the price of an e-reader is so low.
Right now, Amazon has slashed the price of its basic Kindle e-reader by 44%, taking the price from $89 to $49. The Kindle now has a built-in backlight, making it easier to read whether you’re indoors or outdoors and whatever the time. And with 8GB of space you can also fit more books than you’re ever likely to read.
Amazon Kindle: was $89 now $49
On the lookout for an OLED TV, but put off by the high price tags? That’s fair enough — they are pretty expensive. Or at least they were, because we’re seeing some great OLED TV bargains this Black Friday, and this is one of the best.
For a limited time, Amazon has the 48-inch LG A1 OLED TV on sale for $896. That’s a 25% saving on the usual $1,199 price, but the deal gets better still, because you can get a free $100 credit on your Amazon account if you use the coupon code “HBQ5KMZKGRRP” during checkout. It’d almost be rude not to buy it, right?
LG A1 48″ 4K OLED TV: was $1,199, now $896
When we compiled our list of the best vlogging cameras, there was a clear choice at the top of the list: the Sony ZV-1. And the good news is that it’s currently $150 off at Amazon.
The Sony ZV-1 has a 20-megapixel 1-inch sensor plus loads of features that make it great for YouTubers and content creators. As we said in our review, we’re big fans of its clever sideways-opening flip-out screen and Product Showcase mode.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for it, so snap it up now (pardon the pun) before it sells out.
Sony ZV-1: was $798 now $648
Anyone with kids knows they can’t be trusted around expensive tech — let me tell you: chocolate milkshake and laptops do not mix well together.
That’s why I’ve always given my daughters Amazon Fire Kids tablets. With their chunky, colorful bumpers they’re pretty much immune from mishaps plus you get a two-year, no-questions-asked replacement policy (and yes, I’ve used it more than once). They’re also kitted out with Amazon’s excellent Fire for Kids software platform, which ensures they can’t get up to anything they shouldn’t online.
The new Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet is aimed at slightly older kids in the 6-12 range, with a choice of four cases that don’t look quite as childish as those on the standard Fire Kids model. And as we say in our review, it also has a great screen and battery life. This Amazon deal cuts the price by 40%, saving you $80.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet: was $199 now $119
The NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle is one of the best exercise bikes you can buy, particularly if you want a worthy alternative to anything Peloton produces. For Black Friday, Amazon lets you save $700 on this exercise bike.
The 22-inch version of the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle is available for $1,499. That’s quite a drop from the usual $2,199 asking price for NordicTrack’s bike.
We like the fact that this is a pretty compact exercise bike and that its subscription fees are cheaper than what Peloton charges. for more, take a look at our NordicTrack Commercial S22i Studio Cycle vs Peloton comparison.
NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle: was $2,199 now $1,499
Earlier this month, we were pretty excited to see the price on the Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones drop to $199. Amazon is taking that a step farther for Black Friday — you can now get the Bose QuietComfort 35 II for $179. That’s a $170 drop from the normal price.
These aren’t Bose’s most recent headsets — that would be the Bose QuietComfort 45, which we rank among the best noise-cancelling headphones. But the QC 35 II are impressive in their own right, particularly at this price.
Expect excellent noice cancellation and great audio quality in a comfortable design. The biggest knock on our Bose QuietComfort 35 II review as that these headphones were pretty expensive — something this discounted price more than takes care of.
Bose QuietComfort 35 II: was $349 not $179
It’s a great Black Friday to be a fan of Motorola phones while also being in the market for a new handset. Amazon’s Black Friday sales are taking up to 30% off Motorola smartphones, with most of the savings coming in the phone maker’s G series of budget handsets.
Normally, we’d point you toward the long-lasting Moto G Power, though with a new Moto G Power version recently announced, you’d be better off waiting to see how that newer phone performs. Instead, we suggest you look at the Motorola One 5G Ace, a low-cost 5G phone that’s even more affordable with Amazon’s discount. Specifically, you can get the Motorola One 5G Ace for $299, a $100 drop from its usual price.
In our Motorola One 5G Ace review, we were impressed by the phone’s long battery life and its bright display. It’s also an inexpensive way to get your hands on a 5G phone — even more so now that Amazon is dropping the price for Black Friday.
Motorola One 5G Ace: was $399 now $299 @ Amazon
Samsung’s Frame 4K TVs bring an appealing look to your living room, looking less like a TV and more like slim picture frame hanging on your wall. Early Black Friday discounts are lowering the cost of this TV set anywhere from 15% to 31% depending on the model you buy.
The biggest savings right now are on the 50-inch model. You can buy that version of Samsung’s 4K Quantum HDR Smart TV for $897, more than $400 off the usual $1,299 asking price. Adding a bezel or a soundbar costs extra, but that’s still pretty significant savings if you’re in the market for a TV that looks good and delivers a colorful and accurate picture.
When not pulling TV duty, the Frame can transform into a work of art, which it will display when a motion sensor detects that you’ve entered the room. Samsung’s TV comes equipped with Amazon’s Alexa assistant, too.
Samsung Frame 50-inch 4K Smart TV: was $1,299 now $897
It’s really not Black Friday at Amazon until we start seeing discounts on various Alexa speakers, and this Black Friday doesn’t figure to disappoint. One of the best discounts we’ve spotted so far is for the Amazon Echo (4th Gen), which is currently $40 off its regular price.
Right now you can buy the spherical Amazon Echo for $59, a steep drop from its regular $99 price at Amazon. That’s a great price on one of our favorite smart speakers.
The 4th gen Echo delivers great audio for its price, but it’s really the array of Alexa-based skills that make this a welcome addition to the home. (In fact, we’ve got the 30 best Alexa skills if you’re wondering just what this speaker can do for you.) If you’ve been debating whether to add one of Amazon’s speakers to your home or if you’re ready to upgrade from an older model, this Black Friday price is hard to beat.
Amazon Echo (4th Gen): was $99 now $59
The Samsung Chromebook 4 is our favorite Chromebook for anyone on a budget. And if your budget is really tight, Amazon is helping out by taking $70 off the cost of this 11.6-inch model.
Normally priced at $249, Amazon’s price reduction brings the cost of the Chromebook 4 to less than $200 at $179. This model has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. If you can get by with half that storage, the 32GB model of the Chromebook 4 is currently available for less than $140.
You’re getting an expensive Chromebook with this Samsung model, but not a cheap one. The Chromebook 4 lasted a lengthy 10.5 hours on our battery life test, and its aluminum top gives it a fancier appearance than you might expect from a laptop in this price range. Performance is pretty decent as well, and should be more than enough for students to knock off homework assignments with ease.
Samsung Chromebook 4: was $249 now $179
PlayStation Plus is the gift that keeps on giving. This 12-month PlayStation Plus membership will give the gamer in your life free games to download each month. You can also enjoy online multiplayer fun with friends and get exclusive discounts on the PlayStation Store.
A PlayStation Plus membership also gets you a whopping 100GB of cloud storage. For the month of November, the PlayStation Plus collection includes some pretty solid titles, including Knockout City for PS5 and PS4, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning (PS4) and three games for PS VR.
PlayStation Plus 12-month membership: was $59 now $39.99
One of the things on my to-do list is to upgrade our home security with outdoor security cameras, and this kit looks like a pretty great Amazon Black Friday deal. This bundle includes a 3-pack of Arlo security cameras and an Echo Show 5, which you can use to watch the footage from inside your home.
The bundle costs $259, which saves you $175 or 40%. The Arlo Essential Spotlight Cameras capture crisp 1080p video and let you see more of your property with the 130-degree viewing angle. You can receive alerts for people, vehicles and packages, and there’s two-way audio for speaking with visitors.
Meanwhile, the Echo Show 5 lets you control all sorts of smart home devices and has its own 2MP camera built in so you can make video calls to friends and family. And, of course, it has Alexa built in.
Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera (3 pack) with Echo Show 5: was $434 now $259
Amazon is known for deep discounts on TVs, and this is one of the best Black Friday TV deals I’ve seen yet. Right now Amazon has the Insignia 55-inch 4K Fire TV for just $299. That’s $80 off the regular price of $379.
As someone who is still staring at a 1080p set from 2015, I’m tempted to buy this smart TV. It offers an ultra HD picture (2160p), which is four times the resolution of full HD sets. And this Insignia can upscale content to 4K with ease.
The Insignia F30 has plenty of other perks, including Alexa voice control via the remote and support for all of the best streaming services, including Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and more.
Insignia 55-inch F30 Series 4K Fire TV: was $379 now $299
It’s the pretty rare “cool” that I hear from my teenage son, but I got one after installing a set of LED lights around his room, complete with remote control. This Govee set is even better, as you can control it all with an app right on your phone.
With the Govee app you can choose from multiple color effects and 16 million colors. And because these strip lights use RGBIC effects, they can display multiple colors at a time.
It gets better. The Govee LED Strip Lights can even “dance” to the music with up to 11 music modes, thanks to a high sensitivity mic. Add in 64 preset scene effects and you’re bound to get at least one “cool.”
Govee 32.8ft RGBIC LED Strip lights: was $34.99 now $29.74
What’s better than a robot vacuum that cleans your floors for you? A robot vac that empties itself when it’s done. That’s exactly what the Roomba i3+ can do, and iRobot says this device can empty itself for up to 60 days.
Right now Amazon has the Roomba i3+ on sale for $399 which is $200 off the regular price. This robot vacuum uses straight line navigation to clean in straight rows, and it’s smart enough to learn your habits and routines so it doesn’t get in your way. Or you can just set this Roomba to clean while you’re away.
Here’s another perk. You can use Alexa or Google Assistant to start this robot vac on its way with just the sound of your voice.
iRobot Roomba i3+: was $599 now $399
I’m going to tell you a little secret. $99 Black Friday Chromebook deals are great for kids or anyone with awesome vision, but their 11-inch displays are not so great for adults looking to use a Chromebook as their primary PC. I bought my mom a 15-inch Chromebook a few years ago and she loves it.
If you want a big-screen Chromebook for less, right now Amazon has the Samsung Chromebook 4+ for $263.49, which is $86 off the regular price. The 15.6-inch display on this Amazon Black Friday deal provides a full HD picture, and the Intel Celeron processor, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage provide everything you need for getting online.
There’s a 4GB version that’s even cheaper, but I’d go with 6GB so they can keep more tabs open without getting bogged down. And with a design that’s under 3 pounds, it’s easy to take this Chromebook from room to room.
Samsung Chromebook 4+: was $349 now $263
One of the worst things about working from home can be Wi-Fi dead zones, especially the further away you get from your router. The eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 router is designed to fill your entire abode with a strong Wi-Fi signal, thanks to eero’s mesh Wi-Fi technology.
This system, which includes a router and extender, is rated to cover up to 3,000 square feet with speeds up to 500 Mbps. Plus, it supports up to 75 devices, so your network should not get bogged down as more of your family connects.
Bonus: the eero 6 doubles as a Zigbee smart home hub, which makes it easier to control compatible devices via Alexa.
Eero 6 mesh Wi-Fi 6 router + extender: was $199 now $119
Here’s one of the best things I bought during the pandemic: a Blue Yeti microphone. I sound great on conference calls without having to wear a headset, and I also use it to record voice-overs for videos, like this one for our iPhone 13 Pro Max review.
In other words, you don’t have to be a podcaster or streamer to appreciate a good mic, and right now Amazon has the Blue Yeti Nano on sale for $79.99, which is 20% off the regular price.
This thing packs two custom mic capsules to give your voice more depth and detail, and it has a compact design that will fit right in with your laptop, complete with onboard controls for volume, mic mute and pickup pattern.
Blue Yeti Nano: was $99.99 now $79.99
Black Friday is great for Black Friday TV deals for the ultimate in 4K eye candy, but your ears deserve an upgrade, too. The TCL Alto 6 2.0 soundbar is just $66.79 right now, which is $13 off. While it’s not a huge discount, this is a great low price for a soundbar that has built-in Bluetooth.
The TCL Alto 6 2.0 is rated for 120 watts of power and measures 31.5 inches in length, so it should easily fit under most TVs. This soundbar supports Dolby Digital for the best possible sound quality, and you can take your pick from multiple sound modes for the best experience, including movies, music and TV.
TCL Alton 6 soundbar: from $79.99 to $66.79
Right now Amazon is taking up to 40% off Fitbit fitness trackers and smart watches, but there’s one sale that really stands out to us. The Fitbit Sense smartwatch is on sale for $199, which is $100 off the regular price.
In our Fitbit Sense review, we said that this smartwatch “gives you a very comprehensive look at your overall health.” We also like its attractive design, long battery life and robust fitness and health features. This watch packs an ECG sensor, blood oxygen reading and even the ability to measure your stress (via an EDA scan) along with your skin temperature.
The built-in GPS works well, and there’s sleep tracking, too. Plus, with Fitbit Premium ($9.99 a month), you can access lots of workouts that range in 3 minutes to 30 minutes to keep you motivated.
Fitbit Sense: was $299 now $199.95
Yes, I know, $300 off for this premium flagship phone is still pricey. But with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 you’re getting a phone and tablet in one. This best foldable phone has a 6.2-inch cover display and a ginormous 7.6-inch 120Hz display on the inside that will upgrade your work and play.
You’ll love playing games and watching your favorite shows on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and you can run up to three apps at once on the screen for the ultimate in multitasking. The iPhone 13 can’t do that. In our Galaxy Z Fold 3 review, we also praised the improved durable design and S Pen support.
While the battery life could be better, overall the Z Fold 3 is a fantastic Amazon Black Friday deal.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: was $1,799 now $1,499
Mmmmm air fries. The Instant Vortex makes it easy to air fry, broil, roast and reheat without making a huge mess. And this Amazon Black Friday deal is taking $30 off the original price right now.
The Instant Vortex 5.7 quart air fryer is designed to give you the crunch you want from fries and other foods while using 95% less oil. Plus, there’s one-touch smart programs built in for chicken wings, cinnamon buns and roasted veggies.
When you’re done, cleanup is easy with the dishwasher safe air fry basket and tray.
Instant Vortex 5.7 quart air fryer: was $99 now $69.95
Have you ever thought about how dirty your soap dispenser gets? Think about it. It’s the first thing people touch after using the bathroom, which makes you wonder if there’s a zero-touch solution for home. There is, and it’s on sale now.
The Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser is now $37.99, which is 31% off the regular price. The dispenser gets to work automatically when you put your hands underneath, and there’s even a 20-second timer that lights up, which is especially handy for kids.
You control how much soap comes out based on the distance of your hands from the nozzle. And the rechargeable battery lasts for 3 months. And, yes, it works with Alexa.
Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser: was $54 now $37.99
I probably don’t need to tell you that most laptop webcams are terrible, and yet most of us still put up with crappy image quality. With the Logitech C922x, you don’t have to settle. This webcam delivers a sharp 1080p picture, and right now it’s 25% off.
The fact is that even 1080p laptop webcams aren’t that great because there’s only so much room for the sensor at the top of the display. The Logitech C922x gives you a full HD glass lens along with autofocus, and there’s 2 built-in mics for capturing your voice. You will look better and sound better during video calls.
Logitech C922x 1080p webcam: was $99 to $74.99
Whether you’re shopping for someone else or yourself, noise-cancelling headphones don’t get any better than the Sony WH-1000XM4. In fact, these Sony headphones are the best noise cancelling headphones overall based on our testing.
Here’s what we said in our Sony WH-10000XM4 review: “These headphones sound amazing, noise cancellation is right up there with Bose, and the extensive feature set offers so much playability across multiple media formats and platforms.”
Add in an excellent 30 hours of battery life and smart controls and you have a winner. Especially at just $248, which is $101 off right now.
Sony WH-1000XM4: was $349 now $248
Guess who’s back? After making its last TV back in 2010, Pioneer is back and making Fire TVs. It’s brand new 50-inch 4K Fire TV is on sale for the first time. The TVs offer HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, multi-room music capability, and surround-sound with DTS Virtual X audio. You can get the 43-inch for $279 ($90 off) or the 50-inch for $339 ($130 off).
Pioneer 50″ 4K Fire TV: was $469 now $339 @ Amazon
Not a fan of the AirPods? The Echo Buds 2 are a solid alternative, especially now that they’re at their lowest price ever. They offer great sound quality, active noise cancellation, and great integration with Alexa. (No offense, Siri). The Echo Buds 2 w/ wireless case are also on sale for $89.
Echo Buds 2: was $119 now $69 @ Amazon
Ok, we admit. A cable modem isn’t the sexiest holiday gift you can give. But the Netgear CM500 isn’t just any cable modem; it’s one of the best cable modems you can buy. We love it because it works with the biggest cable providers and it’s an easy to way to shave a few bucks off your monthly cable bill. (And nothing’s sexier than saving money!)
Netgear CM500 Cable Modem: was $59 now $42 @ Amazon
Amazon has a lot of inexpensive tablets, but the Fire HD 10 makes it to our list of best tablets you can buy. We love it because it offers more muscle power (and screen real estate) than Amazon’s cheaper tablets and provides an overall solid experience for Web browsing, watching videos, and reading e-books. It’s now on sale at its lowest price ever. If you’re budget is a bit tight, Amazon has other Fire Tablets on sale from 50% off.
