The 40 best Prime Day deals to shop for right now -- from portable tech to smart home gear

We're into day two of Amazon's second Prime Day sale event for 2023, and it's still a great opportunity to shop for your holiday gifts early -- or get something for yourself. If you missed out on any of the deals from the company's Prime Day event in July, this year's "Prime Big Deal Days" sale has brought back many of the all-time low prices we saw a few months ago, plus some new sales on recommended headphones, tablets, TVs, video games and many other gadgets. We've rounded up the highlights below, and we'll be adding new offers to our list until the sale closes. You'll need to be a Prime member to see some (but not all) of the offers, but if you want to shop some great Prime Day tech deals ahead of Black Friday, here's the best of what we've found. The second-gen AirPods Pro are the best wireless earbuds for iPhone users thanks to their good audio quality, strong ANC and hands-free Siri access. The second-generation AirPods Pro have dropped to $189 for Prime Day. Apple made a ton of small but noticeable improvements to these models, so now they have better sound quality, noise cancelation and Transparency Mode. There remains no competition if you have an iPhone and live within the Apple ecosystem -- these are the best earbuds to get if you fall into that category. The most affordable Apple Watch is also the best for first-time wearable owners. The Apple Watch SE is on sale for $199 right now. It's the best smartwatch to get if you're new to the wearable world, or you just want a basic, relatively affordable watch that has all of the basic features you'd need. On top of comprehensive health and fitness tracking, iPhone notifications and dozens of fun watch faces, you'll get features like crash and fall detection, noise monitoring and Emergency SOS.
