Amazon Prime Day 2026 is live now through June 26, and we’re tracking the deals actually worth your money across every category. Almost all of these are members-only prices, so a free 30-day Prime trial covers you through the event if you’re not already in. We re-check every price against its sale history and only flag what’s hitting a real low right now, not whatever has an inflated list price sitting next to it. Start with our top picks, then jump to a category below.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones $179.00 (was $359.00)

The single best deal on the board, an all-time low at 50% off

If we could send you to one Prime Day deal, it’s the Bose QuietComfort at $179, an all-time low and half off. The noise canceling is still the benchmark, the fit is comfortable for a full flight, and battery runs about 24 hours. It’s the rare deal that’s both a steep discount and a great product. Most people should just buy this and move on.

Sony 65-inch BRAVIA XR8B OLED 4K TV $1,198.00 (was $1,398.00)

The splurge pick of the sale, an all-time low

The Sony 65-inch BRAVIA XR8B OLED at $1,198 is the splurge of the sale, an all-time low. OLED gives you true blacks and per-pixel contrast no backlit LED set can match, and Sony’s processing makes everyday streaming and sports look better than the spec sheet promises. If you’ve been waiting to step up to a true high-end TV, this is the one worth stretching for.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus $24.99 (was $49.99)

Cheapest worthwhile upgrade, an all-time low

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus at $24.99 is the best cheap upgrade of the sale, an all-time low. For twenty-five bucks it turns any TV with an HDMI port into a fast 4K streaming machine with Alexa voice search. It’s the easiest gift, stocking-stuffer, or second-TV fix on the slate. Buy a couple.

DJI Osmo Action 4 (Essential Combo) $169.00 (was $229.00)

Best camera deal, an all-time low

The DJI Osmo Action 4 at $169 is the best camera deal of the event, an all-time low on a waterproof cam that shoots stabilized 4K. The bigger sensor handles low light better than older action cams, and it’s pool-ready with no case. For vlogging, biking, or the water, it’s the value pick over a pricier GoPro.

iRobot Roomba 105X Combo Robot Vacuum and Mop $199.99 (was $469.99)

Best home deal, an all-time low

The iRobot Roomba 105X Combo at $199.99 is the best home upgrade of the sale, an all-time low on a vacuum-and-mop with smart mapping. It learns the floor plan, cleans in tidy rows, and mops hard floors on the same pass. For most homes, this is the deal that buys back a chore.

Headphone and speaker deals

Headphones: The Bose QuietComfort leads, with the Sony WH-1000XM5 close behind for noise canceling. See the full list in the best Prime Day headphone deals.

Soundbar and home audio deals

Kitchen deals

Kitchen: Ninja, Instant Pot, and KitchenAid lead, from a $70 pressure cooker to a stand mixer. See the full list in the best Prime Day kitchen deals.

Outdoor and backyard deals

Outdoor: A Blackstone griddle and a Ninja Woodfire smoker lead the backyard. See the full list in the best Prime Day outdoor deals.

Robot vacuum deals

Robot vacuums: The Roomba 105X Combo is the value pick. See the full list in the best Prime Day robot vacuum deals.

Power station deals

Power stations: The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus is the home-backup standout. See the full list in the best Prime Day power station deals.

Prime Day deals change by the hour, so check the price before you buy and check back as we add new arrivals through June 26. If you only grab one thing, make it the Bose QuietComfort at $179. It’s an all-time low on the headphones most people should buy, and the deal the whole event is built around.
