Today is the start of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event, which means a ton of gadgets that may or may not be worth buying are currently on sale. We have a big curated roundup of the best deals we can find, but I wanted to give special mention to a couple of particularly notable deals on headphones we've reviewed positively: Sony’s noise-canceling WH-1000XM4 for $248 and Jabra’s true wireless Elite 75t earbuds for $100.

Both deals match the lowest prices we’ve tracked from major retailers. If you’d rather not give more money to Amazon, the Sony deal is available at other stores as well. In Sony’s case, the WH-1000XM4 have an MSRP of $350 but have recently averaged closer to $315 on Amazon. The Elite 75t, meanwhile, retail for $150 but have had a few dips to $130 over the last few months.

What you’re getting with the Sony WH-1000XM4

Update 6/22 5:10 pm EDT: Our final Prime Day update brings price drops on Apple's M1-equipped Mac mini, a highly recommended Bluetooth speaker from Anker, and a nifty Joy-Con accessory from our best Nintendo Switch accessories guide, among other a few others. We've also updated pricing details for the earlier deals that are still kicking. Now, if you'll excuse us, the Dealmaster team is going to step away from Bezos Land and take a long-overdue nap.

Update 6/22 10:55 am EDT: Prime Day has paradoxically rolled into its second day, so we've given our mega-roundup another refresh. As expected, the pace of new deals has slowed, but we've still found good discounts on recommended indoor security cameras, 4K box sets of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, the latest Spider-Man game for the PS4/PS5, and more.

Update 6/21 5:35 pm EDT: After another sweep of our Prime Day deals roundup, we have struck out a few expired offers, updated prices, and added a few new deals. Those bargains include premium OLED TVs from Sony, well-reviewed air purifiers from Blueair, Blue's popular Yeti microphone, and Samsung SSDs we like, among other discounts you can find below.
