Check out the best Amazon deals of the day as of August 20:
This week is starting off on a strong note when it comes to deals and discounts at Amazon. We're seeing plenty of price drops on the mega retailer's own devices for the first time since Prime Day. Plus, there's a first-time discount on a brand-new pair of headphones we're loving.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Aug. 20. If none of these catch your eye, be sure to take a peek at our picks from yesterday, Aug. 19. Many of those are still live — including a record-low ninth generation iPad.
Three years in the making, Sonos finally released its first pair of headphones earlier this summer. Now, just a few months after their debut, they have received their first discount. Usually $449, you can slash $50 off and grab them for $399 at Amazon as of Aug. 20. Considering our biggest complaint about the headphones upon testing was their price, this is a welcome drop. The design, sound quality, battery life, and spatial audio are definitely stand out features, but we do wish the ear cup seal was tighter to block out more outside sound. Overall, though, Mashable's Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern says she would recommend them to "true audiophiles who value incredible sound quality above all else."
Just released last month, the Echo Spot is essentially a fancy alarm clock that can help you start and end your day with smart features. It doesn't have an integrated camera (because that would be creepy), but it does allow you to see time, weather, song titles, and more at a glance and control your smart devices with our voice. It comes in three sleek colors and currently is down to just $54.99 — that's a savings of 31%. Better yet, you can score a free Sengled smart light bulb with your purchase.
While this isn't the best deal we've ever seen on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids, it's the biggest price drop we've seen in several months. A step up from the basic Kindle Kids, the Paperwhite Kids adds some boosted features like a larger display, longer battery life, double the storage, an adjustable warm light to cut down on blue light, and IPX8 waterproofing. With Amazon Kids+, it also comes preloaded with a full library of age-appropriate books. As our reviewer noted, "It’s a piece of kids’ tech that even the most anti-screen relatives at your next family get-together won’t be able to grumble about." Snag it on sale for just $134.99 as of Aug. 20 — that's a savings of 21%.
Need a new TV? If you're a Prime member, you can snag a 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV for only $309.99. That's over 40% in savings if you use the code PRIME55 at checkout. The 4-Series is equipped with 4K Ultra HD entertainment with HDR 10, on-board Alexa, and four HDMI inputs for connectivity. It's not the fanciest TV in the Fire lineup, but it'll still get the job done. And if you're already using a Fire TV Stick, it'll already have your custom-arranged apps waiting for you when you log into your Amazon account. If you're not a Prime member, you'll have to pay $349.99, which is honestly still a pretty good discount at 33%.
