As Prime Day 2022 winds down, we’ve stopped updating this post, and we can’t guarantee that all deals are still in stock. Check our Deals page for our latest finds.
Amazon may have single-handedly invented Prime Day, but it’s hardly the only retailer offering major deals this week. Best Buy’s “Black Friday in July” sale is serving shoppers big discounts on some of our favorite Wirecutter picks from computers to earbuds. Here’s what we’ve found so far.
Razer Basilisk Ultimate Wireless Gaming Mouse with Charging Dock Deal price: $91; street price: $160
Consider the Basilisk Ultimate if you want a great wireless gaming mouse. It's speedy, responsive, and was the most comfortable wireless mouse we tested. It also has a customizable scroll wheel, well-placed buttons, and a decent battery life. Currently, the Ultimate is on sale both with and without the charging dock. Both are great deals, but for an extra $15, you'll get this handy station to charge our upgrade pick whenever you need to.

Samsung 980 Pro SSD (1 TB NVMe) Deal price: $120; street price: $180
Update 2: Down an additional $20 from $140, and also available from Best Buy. Modern-day games are often extremely large and plagued with long loading times, but a powerful SSD can help alleviate both of these issues. If you're looking to add an extra boost to your PlayStation 5, a PCI Express 4.0 is the only kind of drive that meets Sony’s demanding performance requirements. While we haven't tested this specific drive in a PS5, this is the model we'd recommend because it runs faster and cooler than other similarly priced SSD's. However, this drive does not come with a pre-installed heatsink, so you'll need to attach an easy-to-install option to further reduce temperatures.

Corsair HS60 Pro Gaming Headset Deal price: $40; street price: $60
Balancing comfort and price, our budget pick for gaming headsets isn't perfect, but it's the best model under $60 we tested. The HS60 fits comfortably, sounds good, and has a reliable mic. Though it suffers from sound bleed and doesn't have a removable cable, the HS60 is compatible with PC, mobile, and all consoles—making it an excellent option if you use more than one gaming platform. This price matches the lowest we've seen.

HyperX Alloy Origins Core Gaming Keyboard Deal price: $60; street price: $90
To a gamer, a quality keyboard is one of the most important tools for success. Another good option we speak of in our mechanical keyboard guide, the HyperX Alloy Origins Core offers RGB backlighting, macro support, and a removable USB-C cable to complement its minimalist design. While the overall build quality isn't as high as our official picks, the Core felt better and had nicer software than the other gaming keyboards we tested. It's down to the lowest price we've seen.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Deal price: $228; street price: $320
Being in a noisy environment doesn't have to be a miserable experience—the Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth wireless headphones can help diminish the racket of voices and engines. They're comfortable, feature-packed headphones that sound great and can help drown out the din of a chatty workplace or noisy airplane.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds Deal price: $198; street price: $230
Our testers liked the Sony WF-1000XM4 for its excellent sound quality and convenient wind-noise reduction software. While it didn't make it as a proper pick, we do recommend them if you want earbuds with Alexa and Google Assistant "wake-word" functionality. They also offer Qi-charging capability, IPX4 waterproofing, and a solid 8-hour battery life. The button control capabilities are limited, and they may not fit very small or very large ears, but this is still a solid drop on a pair of earbuds with superior noise-cancelling ability.

Jabra Elite 4 Active Earbuds Deal price: $90; street price: $110
One of Jabra's new generation earbuds, we love the fit, high water/dust resistance, and controls of the Jabra Elite 4 Active Earbuds. However, the device connectivity is fussy, the microphone sounds muffled on calls, and the active noise cancellation is middling. If these buds typically sold for $80, they might have been a main pick in our guide to the best workout headphones. But on sale for $90, it's up to readers if the positives outweigh the negatives.
Read our review of the best workout headphones.
Sony LinkBuds S Deal price: $158; street price: $200
Offering a lightweight design and comfortable fit, the Linkbuds S are another good option we like in our upcoming update to our wireless Bluetooth earbuds guide. They have middling noise cancellation, isolation, and sound, but at a discount, their drawbacks become more palatable.
Read our review of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
Google Pixel 6 Android Phone (Unlocked, 128 GB) Deal price: $500; street price: $600
The best Android phone for most people, the Google Pixel 6 offers the best software experience on Android with hardware to match. With the best Android camera we’ve ever tested, a fast custom Tensor processor, and excellent build quality, the Pixel 6 can hold its own against phones double its price.

Google Nest Hub Max Smart Display Deal price: $170; street price: $230
If you're looking to try out a new smart display, we think home chefs already invested in Google Assistant ecosystem will get the most out of the Nest Hub Max. With its large 10-inch screen, the Nest can easily transform from a beautiful digital photo frame to your own personal cookbook—verbally walking you through recipes so you don't have to touch anything with ingredient-dirtied hands. Today's price matches the lowest we've seen.

Google Nest Hub Smart Display (2nd Gen) Deal price: $55; street price: $100
Seamlessly upgrade your home into a smart home with the Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen). You can integrate light switches, TVs, your Google Assistant device, doorbell/security camera, and many more smart-home devices (which you can control with a tap or your voice). The 2nd generation model offers most of the same features as the larger Google smart display, but ditches the camera to add a little more privacy. Clocking in at around 7 inches, this unobtrusive Nest works well on a bedside table and includes sleep tracking abilities.

Google Chromecast with Google TV Deal price: $40; street price: $50
The best media streaming devices should quickly and effortlessly connect you with the content you want—and that's exactly what the Google Chromecast does. With a re-design that's more modern than the competition, this streaming device de-throned the Roku Streaming Stick+ as our top pick because it better reflects how people watch video now. Viewers will appreciate the Chromecast's useful remote, voice search capabilities, and 4K HDR video support (including Dolby Vision).

Google Nest Learning Thermostat + Google Nest Hub Max Smart Display Bundle Deal price: $370; street price: $480
A smart thermostat takes the guesswork out of heating and cooling your home. Our top pick will adjust to your schedule and balance temperatures according to your preferences to help trim utility usage and bills. The Google Assistant–enabled Google Nest Hub Max is a handy digital assistant for streaming audio and video or making video calls. Both items together are down to $370, but for a less pricey investment, you can bundle the thermostat with the Google Nest Hub for $250.
Read our review of the best smart thermostat.
Google Nest Audio Smart Speaker Deal price: $60; street price: $100
The Google Nest Audio Smart Speaker is a great choice for anyone looking for an inexpensive multiroom audio system, and it's especially great for Google devotees. One of the advantages of the Nest Audio over other smart-home speakers is that it uses Google for search results, which usually provides more satisfying answers than other search engines. Back down to $60, this deal matches the previous best price we've seen for a single Nest Audio.

TCL 5-Series 75-Inch Google TV (Model S546) Deal price: $800; street price: $900
You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get a quality 4K TV, and the 75-inch version of our top budget Google-enabled 4K TV pick is back down to the previous low. The TCL 5-Series model S546 provides good picture quality and great integrated streaming options, offering a full array of local-dimming backlights and the Google smart-TV interface. While its overall brightness, contrast, and motion quality don't measure up to the best LCD and OLED screens we've tested, we still think the TCL 5-Series provides a great viewing experience.

Vizio M-Series 4K LED M70Q7 TV (70-Inch) Deal price: $700; street price: $1000
Our runner-up pick from our guide to 4K TVs on a budget, the M-Series is a solid TV that performs nearly as well as our top pick. Though our testers thought that the Vizio offered good picture quality for its price and nice gaming features (like HDMI 2.1), they found that the integrated SmartCast streaming platform was largely mediocre. This price matches the lowest we've seen.

LG C1 OLED TV (2021, 48-inch) Deal price: $800; street price: $1100
Thin and sleek, The C1 produces fantastic 4K HDR images for an extremely reasonable price—all while supporting the leading high dynamic range standards. With both a filmmaker and game optimizer mode, you can also customize and tweak the visuals no matter the media. This drop is just a few bucks shy of the best deal we've seen for our top OLED TV, making it a great time to save on a model that offers one of the best-looking images available. You can also snag the C1 in the 65-inch size if you'd prefer something a bit larger.

Insignia NS-HAWHP2 Wireless TV Headphones Deal price: $50; street price: $100
If your household’s TV-viewing habits are out of sync, wireless TV headphones let you enjoy TV shows, movies, and video games without disturbing those around you. Our top pick for the best wireless TV headphones are easy to use, sound good, and deliver a comfortable fit so you can enjoy marathon binge-watching and gaming sessions.

Roku Streaming Stick 4K (2021) Deal price: $30 with store pickup; street price: $40
With so many streaming services, it's nice to have a dedicated media streamer that consolidates all of your subscriptions into a single place and does the job well. Our runner-up pick has the widest selection of services overall, and the player supports all the major 4K HDR standards (including Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10+), though we've found the Roku's interface feels dated and doesn't integrate all the recently watched and preferred content into one menu as our top pick does.
Read our review of the best media streaming devices.
Roku Streambar Soundbar Deal price: $90; street price: $110
Whether you're looking for an inexpensive 2.0 soundbar or simply want an all-in-one solution that includes a media streamer, the Roku Streambar is another option we like. Though it's not a sonic powerhouse, the Roku boasts a fuller sound than most TV speakers, has Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 support, and a more cost-effective price than even our budget pick. Plus, it comes with a built-in Roku Streaming Stick + 4K HDR streamer.
Read our review of the best soundbar.
Roku Express 4K+ Media Streamer Deal price: $24; street price: $40
If you're limited on space behind your TV or are looking for the best picture quality you can get, the Roku Express 4K+ is a solid option that our testers liked. While the Express has a great remote and offers HDR10+ video, unfortunately, not many services or TVs currently support that feature. We also found that in comparison to our runner-up pick, the Express had a worse overall Wi-Fi connection. It's still a good option if your TV is compatible with HDR10+, or your media setup doesn't allow for the larger Roku Streaming Stick.
Read our review of the best media streaming devices.
$100 Instacart Gift Card + $15 Best Buy Gift Card (Digital Delivery) Deal price: $100; street price: $115
Avoid the crowds and save yourself time and money by getting your groceries delivered with Instacart, which also offers the option of in-store pickup for some retailers. Note that Instacart charges a higher premium for delivery fees and does not deliver to every zip code. Although this $100 Instacart Gift Card isn't discounted, it comes with a free $15 Best Buy Gift Card.

DJI Mavic 3 Drone Deal price: $2050; street price: $2200
When it comes to drones for photography and video, the DJI Mavic 3 is still the best of the best (for now). Our upgrade drone pick has all the bells and whistles, including a 4/3 image sensor and Hasselblad-branded camera that captures 20-megapixel photographs as well as 5.1K videos. It also has the best battery life of any model we testing. While it's not exactly a huge price drop, this sale matches the best deal and lowest price we've seen so far.

Western Digital My Passport SSD (2 TB) Deal price: $180; street price: $230
Portable SSDs are great for people who regularly transfer files between computers and are looking for something both fast and compact. With data transfers up to 10 GBps, the My Passport offers incredibly fast speed in a durable and a pocketable package our testers appreciated. If you accidentally drop the drive and the shock-resistant design fails you, WD also offers a lengthy five-year warranty on this device (the longest of any drive we found). Down to a new low price, this deal is available in red and gray from Amazon, but only gray from Best Buy.

Netgear CM500 Cable Modem (With store pickup) Deal price: $30; street price: $50
Did you know you can save approximately $120/year in rental fees by purchasing your own cable modem? Though it was dethroned as our top pick, we still think the Netgear CM500 Cable Modem is a good budget option as long as your service plan isn't faster than 300 Mbps. With many of the same features as our current top pick, including wide ISP (Internet Service Provider) approval, the CM500 strikes a great balance between reliability and affordability. $30 matches the best price we've seen for this cable modem new.

Lenovo Yoga 7i (14″) Laptop (Intel 11th Gen Core i5, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD) Deal price: $650; street price: $850
A reliable and cost-effective laptop, the Lenovo Yoga 7i is currently matching the lowest price we've seen. Our budget Windows ultrabook pick, the 14-inch 7i comes with a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 14-inch touchscreen, 512 GB SSD, and 12 GB of RAM. Though it is larger and offers less battery life than our top pick, we found that the 7i is still powerful enough to last through the whole work day. If you're looking for a feature-rich ultrabook that won't break the bank, this is the best deal on the 7i we've seen all year.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 (8 GB RAM, 128 GB eMMC)(With delayed shipping) Deal price: $530; street price: $650
A good Chromebook can do almost anything a regular laptop can do, and the best ones feel better to use than their similarly priced Windows counterparts. Our testers found the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 to be smaller, lighter, faster, and equipped with a better battery than any other Chromebooks we tested. Normally more expensive than our other picks due to the solid specs and 8 GB of RAM, this deal brings the price more in line with cheaper options. However, this device is only equipped with USB-C ports, so you'll need an adapter if you wish to use older peripherals. It's available from Best Buy at this price in red and gray.

Epson FastFoto FF-680W Portable Document Scanner Deal price: $500; street price: $550
Unlike most traditional scanners that can bend documents and photos, the Epson FastFoto FF-680W quickly and reliably produces high-resolution photo scans without damaging originals. We particularly appreciated our upgrade pick's rapid-fire photo scanning abilities, though it costs and weighs more than our other portable document scanner picks.
Read our review of the best portable document scanner.
Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (CP514-1H-R4HQ) Deal price: $200; street price: $480
The Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (CP514-1H-R4HQ) is an all-around solid Chromebook, with a comfortable keyboard, a responsive trackpad, and 11 hours of battery life. Compared to our top picks, though, the Spin 514 is larger and heavier, and its processor has lower performance when the laptop is unplugged. This Chromebook comes with an AMD Ryzen 3 3000 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 64 GB eMMC SSD.
Read our review of the best chromebook.
WD Easystore 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive Deal price: $210; street price: $260
Down to $210, this external hard drive is great for the person who has a lot to store—its 14 terabytes are overkill for most. Our testers relegated this speedy external drive to the competition section (and eventually out of the guide altogether) because we felt that the slightly superior performance wasn't worth the extra cost, but when it's well-discounted, that story changes a bit. While we have seen slightly better deals in the past, discounts are few and far between on this expansive drive.

Fujifilm Instax Link Wide Wireless Photo Printer Deal price: $130; street price: $150
Great for parties or picnics, a portable instant photo printer lets you snap and print fun memories just about anywhere. If you're after a classic Polaroid look, the Fujifilm Instax Link Wide prints 3.4-by-4.3-inch photographs with a 2.4-by-3.9-inch image area and a white border. Consistent from one print to the next, the mobile app is easy to set up and use, while the printer itself is small enough to toss in a bag and carry around. It's now down to the lowest price we've seen.
Read our review of the best instant photo printer.
Synology RT2600ac Wi-Fi Router Deal price: $160; street price: $200
For some, there's nothing better than fiddling with router settings to get the exact performance to fit your unique situation. If you happen to be that exact type of psychopath, the Synology RT2600ac is a solid option. As our former runner-up pick for the best router, it's still a competitive router with extensive settings and the ability to expand into a mesh network in the future. It has been outpaced by the newer picks in our guide but it's still a good option that rarely goes on sale.
Read our review of the best Wi-Fi routers.
Philips Wiz Smart Wi-Fi LED Color Bulb (2-Pack) Deal price: $20; street price: $25
This model is cheaper than most smart bulbs and it emits bold colors, has useful Scenes (presets of color and dimness), and works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri Shortcuts, and Google Assistant. It delivers bright white light and terrific-looking colors, as well as reliable scheduling and some special effects in our testing. At $20 for a pack of two with store pickup, it's a great and affordable chance to elevate your home lighting.
Read our review of the best smart LED light bulbs.
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Security Camera (3-Cam Bundle) Deal price: $400; street price: $600
We recommend the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera if you want a cordless outdoor Wi-Fi camera. The top pick in our guide to the best outdoor security camera, this battery-operated camera produced clear 2K images day and night and delivered the most specialized alerts of any cordless cam we tested. It can also distinguish between people, animals, vehicles, packages, and general motion—for an added monthly fee. This bundle, on sale for $350, includes three cameras, three camera mounts, four rechargeable batteries, and a charging dock. Considering individual cameras typically cost about $180 each, this is a very nice discount.
Read our review of the best outdoor security camera.
Bose SoundLink Color II Bluetooth Speaker (Black) Deal price: $80; street price: $100
Though it isn't a formal pick in our guide to the best portable Bluetooth speaker, this is a nice drop on a notable option. While the SoundLink wasn't as powerful sounding as our top picks, it was still a reliable and compact speaker that our testers really liked. Currently only available in black, this is a good chance to pick up this lightning deal on a minute speaker.
Read our review of the best portable bluetooth speaker.
Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug2 (14 oz) Deal price: $120; street price: $140
The Ember Mug2 is the newest version of the smartest coffee mug we recommend for coffee or tea aficionados who want the best possible flavor preservation over a long period of time. It'll keep your beverage at a toasty 120-145 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on what temperature you choose in the Ember app). It can't go in the dishwasher and comes with a steep price tag, but we were surprised by how effective and fun the Ember mug was to use—even if it's a bit extravagant. Only the deep blue version is discounted, but some other colors include a $30 Best Buy gift card.
Read our review of the best gifts for coffee lovers.
Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Electric Toothbrush (With delayed store pickup) Deal price: $30; street price: $50
Our runner-up electric pick is a great option if you're searching for an electric toothbrush that won't rattle your molars and bathroom windows. While it's one of the least expensive brushes in Sonicare’s line, we've found the 4100 still offers all the basic features you'd expect from an electric toothbrush. Just be aware that if you have particular needs for the brush head type, the 4100 has a more limited (and more expensive) selection in comparison to our top pick.
Read our review of the best electric toothbrush.
Lyric Therapeutic Massager Deal price: $130; street price: $180
The Lyric Therapeutic Massager is less of a massage gun and more of a handheld massager. It comes with four soft, interchangeable attachments, and a handle extender that gives you longer-than-average reach. The Lyric also only weighs 1 pound—noticeably lighter compared to our other picks. While it requires a Wi-Fi connection, the capability gives you the ability to update its built-in features and supplemental content, like videos. This deal is a new low price for this gentler massage gun.
