If you’re on a budget, we’ve rounded up the best deals under $ 50. We’ve combed through all the deals, finding our favorite products, and checking the price histories so you know everything here is truly a good deal.
Best entertainment deal
Why we like it
If you’re going to buy a streaming stick, I’m begging you — go with the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. Having put it head-to-head with the Amazon Fire Stick TV 4K, I can guarantee you, it’s supremely better. It installs easily, has an easy to navigate interface, and is so quick. It delivers a gorgeous picture and requires little to know buffer time. You really can’t do better — especially with its Prime Big Deal Days price tag.
Currently, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is down to $ 34.99 from its usual $ 49.99. That knocks off $ 15 for a generous 30% discount.
Best Echo device deal
Why we like it
Last Prime Day, Amazon launched the updated Echo Spot, a smart alarm clock that works as a hub in the bedroom. It’s a fantastic little speaker that plays music with crisp detail and shines brightly with brilliant displays.
During Prime Big Deal Days, the Amazon Echo Spot is back down to its lowest price ever of $ 44.99. That’s 44% savings, knocking $ 35 off the price.
Best headphones deal
Why we like it
Noise-cancelling headphones tend to cost several hundred dollars, putting them out of range for many folks. But that’s not the case today — you can grab the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Headphones in black for just $ 39.90 at Amazon.
Are these top-of-the-line Bose headphones? Nope. But they do an excellent job with sound quality and noise cancellation, especially considering the affordable sale price. The ear cups are made with a soft memory foam so you’ll be comfortable for all-day wear, and they get about 60 hours of playtime before you’ll need to recharge. You’ll also get a convenient travel pouch with the headphones for easy storage.
Best home security deal
Why we like it
Home security cameras can be a great addition to your tech collection. The wireless Blink Outdoor 4 is on sale at Amazon for just $ 39.99, down from the list price of $ 99.99 which means you’ll be getting a massive 60% discount. The security camera has a battery that’ll keep it powered for up to two years while also offering crisp and clear 1080p HD resolution. Come nighttime, the camera will switch to an infrared night live view.
Mashable sister publication PCMag (both owned by Ziff Davis) gave the Blink Outdoor 4 an “excellent” review, noting its wider field of view and optional people alerts as pros.
Plus, since the camera is wireless, you won’t have to worry about a complicated set-up process.
