Why we like it

The ultra-affordable Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds are on sale at Amazon for just $19.99, which means they’re half-off the usual price of $39.99. At this price, you can use them as stocking stuffers or grab a few pairs for your family to always have on hand in case someone’s earbuds go missing.

The P20i earbuds use 10mm drivers, focusing on bass while also offering about 30 hours of playtime on a single charge. They’re also water-resistant, so no worries if you’re out in the rain or in the muggy summer heat.

The compact and lightweight design of the Soundcore earbuds paired with the attached lanyard means these earbuds are also great for travel, taking to school, or bringing along to the office.

Best home security deal

Why we like it

Keeping an eye on the inside of your home or apartment while you’re away can offer some serious peace of mind. Get reassurance the dog didn’t destroy the couch, or check that the kids arrived home from school on time with the Blink Mini indoor camera. You’ll get a clear and crisp view with the 1080p resolution, while also getting night vision views when it gets dark. Two-way audio on the camera means you can let the dog know you see what it’s up to, should it choose chaos and start chewing on the couch.

You’ll get alerts on your smartphone when motion is detected, or you can customize your notifications or detection zones. Setting up the Blink Mini includes plugging it into a power source and connecting it to your home’s WiFi.

The Blink Mini usually costs $29.99, but thanks to this early October Prime Day deal, you can get the camera for just $17.99. That’s an impressive 40% discount.

Best streaming device deal

Why we like it

Is the Amazon Fire Stick 4K the best streamer we’ve ever tested? No, Roku takes the cake there. However, it still works perfectly fine, and not to mention, it’s hard to turn away from its price tag. Having tested the Amazon Fire Stick TV, set-up is easy; it’s as simple as plugging it into an HDMI port in the back of your TV.

While the home screen is a little clunky and slow, full of ads and promotions for Prime Video content, it is a dream for those who primarily stream on the site. The Amazon Fire Stick 4K is down to $24.99, saving you $25 and 50% off.
