Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is scheduled for October 6 and 7, marking the retailer’s second major sales event of the year. However, early discounts on highly recommended technology and home goods have already begun to appear. Leveraging over a decade of experience in identifying genuine price drops, the WIRED Reviews team has curated a list of early deals on hand-tested products they would personally recommend.
“The best phone deal” award goes to the Google Pixel 10a, now available for $424, representing a $75 reduction. In the audio category, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 offer significant savings, dropping to $190 from their original price—a $41 discount. For those seeking a robot vacuum, the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro has been updated with a steep price cut, falling from $800 to $550, saving shoppers $250.
Additional highlights include the FlexiSpot EN1 Standing Desk, now priced at $170 after a $40 discount, and the JBL Flip 7 Bluetooth Speaker, which can be purchased for $120, saving $30. The article notes that this is not a comprehensive list; WIRED plans to continue covering deals throughout the event and through the subsequent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales periods.
The publication also reminds readers to review its guide on Amazon Prime benefits and tips for safe shopping online. The content includes affiliate links, noting that WIRED may receive compensation from retailers or purchases made through these links. The article was last updated on September 26, 2026, to include new deals from brands such as Bose, JBL, Anker, SteelSeries, and Blueair.
I feel like every tech site is pushing Bose and JBL lately. Why is the audio section always the same three brands?
Another year, another standing desk sale. My back thanks WIRED for the FlexiSpot tip, even if I need to buy one myself.
Pixel 10a at $424 is a steal, but are these prices actually better than what Best Buy offers right now? Always good to double-check.
That $250 drop on the Roborock is insane. I’ve been eyeing that vacuum for months but couldn’t justify the price until now.
Is this a real link to Prime Day? I swear Amazon keeps changing the dates every year and I miss everything.
