Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching, and while the main event is still a week away, shoppers have already started to see some of the biggest price drops of the year. The retail giant has launched a series of early deals that rival even the steepest discounts from previous sales. These early bargains offer a chance to grab highly rated products at their lowest prices, and many items will likely sell out before the actual Prime Day begins.
Among the most popular deals available now are major discounts on cooling devices, headphones, tablets, kitchen appliances, home cleaning tools, and travel accessories. These early markdowns are not just limited to off-season stock but also include the latest models and editor-recommended items. Senior deals editors Rikka Altland and Jacqueline Saguin have closely tracked these offers and curated a list of products that stand out both in price and performance. Their extensive coverage of Amazon’s sales over the years adds credibility to their selections.
In the cooling category, the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 stands out with a $100 discount, bringing it down to $400. This bladeless fan doubles as an air purifier, using a sealed filtration system that can remove pollutants while cooling the room. Dyson fans rarely go on sale, and this matches the lowest price ever recorded for the product. Another notable offer is the Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan, which adds a misting feature to help users stay cooler in extreme heat. At $200, this fan is $50 off and offers value that is rarely seen outside of major sale events.
For people on the move, the FrSara Portable Neck Fan is available at $27, down from $34. This wearable fan allows hands-free use and is especially useful during outdoor activities. It was also chosen as a top pick by CNN Underscored’s team in earlier testing. Another reliable choice is the Lasko Portable Utility Fan, reduced from $69 to $55. It provides strong airflow and comes with multiple speed settings, making it a solid option for garages, workshops, or hot home environments.
The early sales are equally strong in the audio category. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) with USB-C are now priced at $199, a $50 cut from their original price. These earbuds are widely considered the standard for active noise-canceling earphones, delivering quality sound and seamless connectivity. Soundcore by Anker’s P20i True Wireless Earbuds are an even more budget-friendly choice, available for just $20 for Prime members. Despite their low price, they offer reliable performance, making them a good choice for everyday use.
Apple’s AirPods Max are also seeing a drop, available for $480 instead of $549. This over-ear model is known for its rich audio quality and comfortable design. Meanwhile, Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Over-Ear Headphones, another high-end option, are now down to $297 from $399. These headphones feature advanced noise cancellation and a design meant for extended wear. If you’re looking for the best value, the Beats Solo 4 at $130 after a $70 markdown and the Nothing Ear (Open) at $129 with a $60 discount also present great alternatives in their respective categories.
Mid-range options like the Marshall Major IV, now available for $70, and the new Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds, priced at $100, have also been included in the early deals. These are geared toward casual listeners who still want a dependable audio experience without spending too much.
In the tablet and laptop department, Apple’s devices are again at the center of attention. The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is now $849, down from $999, making it a top pick among laptops in its category. This model is noted for its lightweight design and fast performance. If you need a larger screen, the 15-inch version of the MacBook Air M4 is priced at $1,049, which is $150 less than its regular cost. Both models come with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage, offering enough power for most daily tasks.
Apple’s iPads are also part of the early sale. The 11th-generation iPad is now $299, making it one of the best values in the tablet market. The iPad Mini (2024) has dropped to $399, down from $499. This smaller model is praised for its powerful A17 Pro chip and portability, making it a good choice for reading, drawing, or browsing.

Anker’s 6-foot USB-C cables, a two-pack, are now starting at $12 as well, offering high-speed charging for various gadgets. The Anker Prime 67W USB-C charger is more powerful and supports charging up to three devices at once. At $40, it’s 33% off.
The Sony Ult Field 1 Portable Speaker, a waterproof option with long battery life, is now $88. It’s ideal for outdoor use, including showers and poolside gatherings. UGreen’s 145W 25000mAh power bank, a tested favorite, is discounted to $70, making it a practical choice for people needing to charge multiple devices on the go.
