Im a tech editor, and I found 37 tech deals Id shop before Amazons Spring Sale ends

As Mashable's tech editor, I test the latest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. I also get to try cool under-the-radar gadgets that only true tech nerds know about. On the last day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, some of the best tech deals on Kindles, MacBooks, and Sony headphones have already come and gone. So, I hand-picked a fresh batch of deals that are actually worth shopping. I've also included some deals from competing retailers — if they have a better price.

Remember: The Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026 ends at midnight PT tonight.

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending products with genuine discounts, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

Grab Sony XM5 headphones on sale

It's the last day of Amazon's Spring Sale, and popular deals on the Sony WH-CH720N, Mashable's favorite Sony headphones under $100, and the flagship XM6 noise-cancelling headphones are no longer available. However, Amazon saved the best for last.

For one day only, you can get the previous-gen Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling headphones for $243, a new record-low price. These headphones were a Mashable Choice winner and have 98% of the same features as the new XM6 cans, only now at a much better price. For my money, this is the best headphones deal of the entire sale so far. The Sony ULT Wear headphones, another Mashable Choice winner, are also on sale for under $150.

Select MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches are all at record prices

Amazon always delivers solid Apple discounts during its big sales, and this time around, you can score record-low prices Apple Watches and newly released MacBook Pro laptops. Early shoppers cleaned up on the M4 MacBook Air and M3 iPad Air, which are now out of stock — womp, womp.

A smart Anker charger with a smile

Anker makes my favorite fast chargers, and I literally use the company's GaN USB-C chargers every day of my life. However, the next Anker charger I want to try is this little phone charger, which comes with a smart display and fun colors (you can match it to your iPhone, if you're into that sort of thing).

DJI drones on sale starting at $149

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

And if you're looking for a premium drone that isn't sold by a third-party retailer, the new Antigravity A1 Drone, one of the last drones approved for sale prior to the ban, is also on sale at Amazon.

More deals on drones

Please note: Due to the ongoing DJI drone ban, all DJI drones are sold through third-party sellers at Amazon. Do your research into the seller and shop accordingly.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $17.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

• Amazon Echo Pop Kids — $29.99 $49.99 (save $20)

• Amazon Echo Spot — $49.99 $79.99 (save $30)

Bose headphones on sale

We've been waiting for this one: Our favorite Bose headphones are finally discounted for the Amazon Spring sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), the brand's current flagship, are supremely comfortable. In fact, our reviewer called them the most comfortable headphones in the world, full stop. And if you need something a little more affordable, their younger sibling is also on sale.

Xreal Smart AR Glasses

As a tech editor, I've been very skeptical of the smart glasses trend. However, I like Xreal's augmented reality glasses precisely because they don't have cameras, so you don't have to worry about creeps and bad behavior. I use the Xreal One Pro AR glasses when working on planes, and the new Xreal 1S glasses can project a 500-inch virtual screen for work or entertainment wherever you go. Grab them both at their lowest-ever prices before the Big Spring Sale ends tonight.

TV deals

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab a 55-inch Fire TV at a very reasonable price, or a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV, released last year and now getting its first big price cut.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung. Strangely, The Frame is more expensive during the big Amazon sale.

DJI creator deals

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).

As of day six, the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which experienced a rare markdown earlier in this sale, is back up to full price. I'm keeping my eyes out for any last-minute price drops, however. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

More DJI creator deals

• DJI Mic Mini — $45 $59 (save $14)

• DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal — $99 $129 (save $30)

• DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo — $199 $289 (save $99)

Our favorite cheap stick vacuum

Spring cleaning is a big theme during the Big Spring Sale, and one of our all-time favorite Shark vacuums is currently marked down to just $149, a 50% discount. The Mashable-tested and approved Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is a pet hair hero that one of our reporters once called "life-changing."

Save on Dyson stick vacuums

Looking for a more premium cleaning machine, preferably one with lasers? Then you need a Dyson Detect stick vac. For the Big Spring Sale, you can grab one of the latest Dyson Detect vacuums, complete with the dust-illuminating laser attachment, while it's on sale.

Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Headphones

The No. 1 best-selling bone conduction headphones are on sale for the Amazon Spring Sale, with a discount of 22%. You can pick up these athlete-approved running headphones for under $150.

JBL Bluetooth speakers — save 27%

I'm a big fan of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. In my testing, they've beaten out more expensive Bluetooth speakers from brands like Bose and Sonos. They're also extremely portable, super easy to use, and totally waterproof, i.e., perfect for spring and summer hangouts.

A cloud gaming bundle

If you want to play games like Borderlands 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hogwarts Legacy without buying an expensive console, try this bundle from Amazon. It includes a Fire TV streaming stick and a Luna gaming controller, letting you play games right on Fire TV.

Fitness trackers on sale

If you're coming out of a winter funk and looking for some workout motivation, strap on a fitness tracker. You can pick up Fitbit step counters for under $70, or save up to $70 on the latest generation of Apple Watches.

The Brick phone blocker

Have you heard of the viral gadget, The Brick? This humble little device blocks you from using your phone during set times so you can break your doomscrolling and screentime addiction — and it works! In her review, Mashable's Sam Mangino wrote that the Brick is "the only thing that cuts my screen time in half."

Our favorite portable power stations

We've been testing a lot of power stations lately. These versatile devices can help you keep the lights on in an emergency, but they're also helpful for camping, festivals, and creators. One of our favorite Mashable-tested power stations from Anker is 46% off for sping, and you can pick up a bundle from Jackery that includes solar panels, also 46% off.

An affordable foldable phone

If you're an Android user on the fence about getting a foldable phone, this deal could help you decide. The Motorola Razr Ultra was the most underrated phone of 2025, and I was impressed by its battery life, display, and design during testing. If you miss flip phones that slip easily into your pocket, then you'll appreciate this one.

During the Amazon Spring Sale, this trendy little flip phone is $500 off at Amazon. It's far more affordable than Samsung's Z Flip 7, too.
