Best Apple AirPods Deals

Apple’s AirPods are the perfect wireless headphones for Apple fans. They support tech like automatic switching, spatial audio, and more.

Airpods Pro

Industry-leading active noise cancellation and excellent sound quality sum up the Apple Airpods pro. They instantly pair with other apple devices and support hands-free Siri. Once paired with one apple device, they’re instantly available to any other device signed in with the same Apple ID. Switching between devices is seamless and automatic. These Apple AirPods also add themselves to the Find My app as soon as they get paired to a device, which helps avoid losing them.

These wireless earbuds are quite impressive with connection range and stability. They also show extremely fast wireless connectivity and unique controls. The controls work by squeezing the sticks on the AirPods. One squeeze for play/pause, two to skip forward, three to skip back, and hold for a moment to switch between ANC mode and Transparency mode.

ANC stands for Active noise cancellation, which is useful for suppressing sounds and noises around you. Transparency mode utilizes external microphones to tune in on conversations around you without having to take out your earbuds. Another major audio is Spatial Audio, Apple’s special implementation of 3D sound, using the movement sensors in the AirPods to place sound around you.

The Apple AirPods Pro is also sweat and water-resistant. The only downside of these AirPods appears to be their not-so-great battery life of 4.5 hours per charge from the buds. They might just be Apple’s best wireless earbuds yet.

Apple AirPods Pro (Renewed)

Apple AirPods Max

Apple AirPods Max.

Apple Airpods Max is Apple’s first over-ear headphones, and they are Apple’s priciest headphones yet. The Airpods Max has great noise cancellation and highly impressive sound quality. It also offers quick pairing with other Apple products, shares audio with other AirPods, and automatically switches between devices signed in with the same Apple ID. They support hands-free Siri and the Find My app. The AirPods Max features Apple’s powerful H1 chip, nine microphones, and 40mm drivers.

They provide a superb listening experience with Spatial sound and top-notch active noise cancellation. The AirPods Max has a battery life of about 20 hours. The headband is stainless steel (with a soft-touch finish), the earcups are aluminum, and there’s a special mesh fabric when the headband actually touches your head and over the earpads.

The Apple Airpods Max comes in five colors: Silver, Pink, Space Grey, Green, and Sky Blue. All colors come with at least a two-tone finish, with the headband and earcups in different hues and meshes that complement those. The right earpad houses the only two controls: A wheel similar to the one found on an Apple Watch but larger, and another button. The wheel adjusts the volume and play/pause/skip, while the other button switches between ANC mode and transparency mode.

AirPods 3rd Generation

During Amazon’s huge Black Friday sale last year, the MyQ smart garage door opener was one of the most popular Amazon smart home deals among our readers. As a matter of fact, it was the #1 best-selling smart home device. And needless to say, it’s pretty easy to see why.

This awesome device lets you control your garage doors from your smartphone no matter where you are. You can even use Alexa voice commands to open and close your garage, which is so awesome. The MyQ is always very popular with our readers. But when it’s discounted, it instantly becomes the hottest Amazon smart home deal out there.

Chamberlain’s original model and the newer model with Bluetooth both sell for $30. The newer version was on sale ahead of the holidays, but that deal is obviously long gone.

As it turns out, however, there’s an even better deal you may be able to take advantage of. You’ll have to act fast though, because there’s a good chance this deal will disappear over the weekend.

Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub with Bluetooth

Head over to Amazon right now and you’ll see that the #1 best-selling MyQ smart garage door opener is on sale for $19.98 right now, which is a terrific price. Considering what you get, that price is more than fair. After all, the first-generation model sold for $100 for several years following its launch.

Thanks to an Amazon promotion, however, you won’t even pay that very reasonable retail price.

On top of that, there’s a special promotion that keeps starting and stopping. If you can catch it when appears again, you get a $30 Amazon credit if you try the new Amazon Key service.

That’s the Amazon service that lets delivery drivers drop packages inside your garage. This way, there’s no chance of them getting stolen. All you need to do is get a MyQ and try the service once. Then, Amazon will give you a $30 credit.

In other words, Amazon is basically paying you to get a MyQ! If you thought no deal could possibly be better than “free,” now you know better.

A deal for the best Amazon smart home device

Amazon’s deals have been so crazy this year. Everything you can think of has been on sale at great prices, from wildly popular AirPods to all the Fire TV and Echo devices that are currently available.

We can’t even remember the last time we saw so many fantastic deals on Amazon. And it gave us a much-needed break from everything else going on in the world. Of course, it should go without saying that Amazon’s hottest smart home device was one of the most popular deals when it was discounted last month.

The original MyQ smart garage door opener was first released years ago. As we mentioned, it cost $100 at the time.

Even at that price, it was absolutely worth every penny. This awesome device can be installed in about 15 or 20 minutes by anyone. It lets you open and close your garage door using your smartphone. Or, you can even just your voice thanks to Alexa support!

Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub with Bluetooth

Maybe you never want to wonder again if you remembered to close your garage door as you rushed to work. Or perhaps you’re just sick of dealing with that annoying keypad that never seems to work on the first try.

In either case, the MyQ is an awesome purchase.

Best MyQ deal of 2022

Did you miss Amazon’s deep discount last month? Well, don’t worry because you’re actually in luck.

The MyQ smart garage door opener is back in stock right now after having sold out recently. Last month it dropped to $22 and it was super-popular as a result. That deal is now done, but we’ve got some good news for you today.

$22 is a terrific price indeed, but right now it’s on sale for only $19.98!

Even if you miss out on snagging one with a discount, there might still be another way to save. On top of any discounts, there’s a special promotion that keeps popping up on Amazon’s site.

The MyQ works with Amazon’s Key service for in-garage deliveries, and you might be able to get a $30 Amazon credit by entering the promo code KEY30 when placing your first Amazon Key order.

If you’re able to take advantage of that promotion, Amazon will basically end up paying you to get a MyQ. How amazing is that?!

Definitely get in on the action if you can. Check this Amazon page to see if the deal is back. At the time of this writing, the offer was not available anymore.

Did you think smart home devices were going to be another fly-by-night trend when they first started to emerge? Don’t worry, there were plenty of other people who thought the same thing. Hey, we all make mistakes.

Best discounted smart home devices on Amazon

The TP-Link Kasa Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs everyone loves so much are the new version of the model that has been a best-seller for as long as we can remember. They’re more compact than ever before and they retail for $30 per 4-pack.

That is already about the same for a 4-pack as you’ll pay for one rival smart plug. In fact, Amazon’s own smart plugs retail for $25 each! As good as TP-Link’s price is, however, you can save even more if you buy a set right now. Thanks to a limited-time sale, your cost per smart plug is only $5.75. That’s a new all-time low price!

Or, if you’re not tied to the Kasa brand, you can spend even less.

More great deals for June 2022

Oh, and what about the insanely popular MyQ smart garage door opener? It’s selling for $19.98 right now on Amazon, which is more than fair. But if you use a special promotion, you’ll end up getting yours for free.

Just take advantage of Amazon’s Key promotion and you’ll get a $30 Amazon credit for buying a $20 device. The only problem is the Key promotion is off and on right now. If it doesn’t work for you this week, however, you should definitely check that page again next week to see if it’s back.

Those deals are great, and there are so many more great sales going on right now at Amazon. You can save 10% on the awesome SwitchBot Curtain that transforms any curtains into smart curtains. Plus, get the SwitchBot Hub Mini so you can control your curtains with your voice or smart home system.

Better yet, the new Wyze Cam v3 Spotlight home security camera with color night vision is on sale at a discount. This awesome new model almost never goes on sale!

You can also pick up a best-selling Govee Smart Bluetooth Meat Thermometer for just $24.99, which is a terrific deal.

TP-Link Kasa Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs

Insanely popular TP-Link Kasa Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs are the #1 best-selling smart plugs out there among BGR Deals readers and it’s not even close. Of course, it’s pretty easy to figure out why.

These awesome smart plugs include all the features you’d expect. They’re all durable and an app that is a cut above most rival offerings. The most popular model sells for $15 each, but Amazon’s awesome deal recently offered shoppers a nice big discount.

They sold out fast back then and they’ve continued to sell out pretty regularly ever since. Now, they’re finally back in stock again for even less than they cost last year on Black Friday. In fact, these best-selling smart plugs just hit a new all-time low price!

Of note, this is the newest model that’s even more compact than the previous version.

Amazon’s current deal on TP-Link Kasa Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs could sell out yet again now that the cat’s out of the bag. This deal first popped up last month and it was scheduled to end earlier this month. It did end… but now it’s somehow back!

Esicoo Wi-Fi smart plugs

If you want reliable plugs that are remarkably affordable, this is as good as it gets. These Esicoo Wi-Fi smart plugs work with every major voice assistant and smart home platform, and Amazon shoppers love them. Smart plugs are must-have smart home devices, and this is as cheap as it gets.

• This best-selling option works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and popular smart home platforms
• The free companion app for smartphones lets you control your plugs from anywhere
• Works with iPhone, Android phone, or tablet
• No hub required

• Create groups to control more than one plug at a time
• Easy to install and ease to operate — the perfect addition to any smart home setup

Wyze Cam v3 Spotlight home security camera

Wyze’s awesome next-generation Wyze Cam v3 Spotlight home security camera has all the key features that made the original and second-generation models so popular. That includes nice clear 1080p video, motion and sound detection, two-way audio, and 14-day rolling cloud storage for free (that’s right… FREE!).

Plus, you get a companion app for iOS or Android that’s streamlined and easy to use. It also integrates with smart home platforms and even supports popular voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant.

Then, on top of all that, it has a fantastic new feature that colorizes night vision recordings! That way, they’re clearer, more vivid, and up to 25 times brighter. How cool is that?!

Other home security cameras are equipped with standard night vision that works pretty well, to an extent. But anyone who has seen night video captured by those cameras knows that it’s not exactly crystal clear.

In fact, plenty of footage recorded at night isn’t even clear enough to make out a person’s face. Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose?

The upgraded Wyze Cam v3 Spotlight is terrific, and it’s definitely a steal at its full retail price of just $52. Grab one now, however, and you’ll pay even less than that. It’s not a massive discount, sure, but this model rarely goes on sale. In fact, the last time it went on sale, the discount only lasted for a few hours.

We wouldn’t be surprised to see this deal disappear very soon. But when it does, the Wyze Cam still costs so much less than rival models at $52. It truly is the best home security camera on Amazon despite costing a fraction of what big brands charge.

Chamberlain MYQ smart garage door opener

The MyQ smart garage door opener is back in stock right now after having sold out recently. It used to retail for $40, but now it’s just $19.98 even when it’s not on sale. Sometimes, however, there are extra discounts you can take advantage of.

Even if you miss out on snagging one with an extra discount, there’s still another way to save. On top of any other deals, you can also take advantage of a special promotion.

The MyQ works with Amazon’s Key service for in-garage deliveries, and you can get a $30 Amazon credit if you enter the promo code KEY30 when placing your first Amazon Key order.

If you decide to take advantage of that promotion, you’ll basically end up getting a MyQ for free. How amazing is that?!

Definitely get in on the action while you still can. This is one of the best smart home devices out there.

MyQ Smart Garage Door Controller Hub (New Version with Bluetooth)

SwitchBot Curtain

Anyone who has seen them knows that smart curtains and smart blinds are awesome. Unfortunately, they can also be excruciatingly expensive. That’s why the SwitchBot Curtain smart curtain controller is so awesome.

This brilliant Amazon find works with just about any setup you might have. The only curtains that won’t work are the kind that has grommets. It takes about 30 seconds to install a SwitchBot Curtain on any curtain rod.

That’s not an exaggeration. You’ll probably spend more time finding your step stool than you’re going to spend setting up your SwitchBot Curtain.

After that, all you need to do is install the app and you’ll be able to open and close your curtains right from your smartphone or using timers!

The SwitchBot Curtain retails for just $109, which is a phenomenal value. It’s on sale right now though, and it’s a steal at the discounted price.

If you want the full experience though, you’ll need one more gadget that happens to be on sale right now at a new lower retail price. Definitely pick up the $39 mini hub so you can connect everything to your smart home setup.

Govee Smart Bluetooth Meat Thermometer

I cook steak and other meats perfectly every single time. But I’m definitely not a professional chef or even really an amateur chef. If I’m not a whiz in the kitchen, how do I cook my dishes perfectly every single time?

Well, I just found a little gadget that makes it almost impossible to cook anything but perfect steak. It’s called the Govee Smart Bluetooth Meat Thermometer, and it’s one of the best purchases you can make for your kitchen and grill.

All you do is pop in a probe before you put meat on the grill or in the pan. It stays in place the entire time you cook. The gadget connects wirelessly to your smartphone and relays internal temperature readings in real-time. Then your phone alerts you when it reaches the target temp so you can stop cooking. How brilliant is that?!

There are plenty of similar products out there, but this one is particularly popular for a few reasons. First, the long-range connectivity works at a distance of up to 196 feet.

It also costs much less than most rivals thanks to a new lower retail price and an extra discount. You’ll receive the Govee Smart Bluetooth Meat Thermometer itself along with two temperature sensors that run into your grill or onto your pan if you’re using a cooktop.

Also, if you want four sensors instead of two, there’s a different deal you need to see.

The top-rated Soraken Wireless Meat Thermometer with 4 Probes retails for $50. It’s a best-seller at that price, but there’s a big discount right now for Prime members. That means if you hurry, you can pick one up at the lowest price of the season.

Amazon’s massive Prime Day 2022 sale is right around the corner. There are so many crazy deals available right now, and we’ve been highlighting all the best ones. But there’s one particular set of deals that should be a no-brainer. Amazon’s ecobee thermostat deals ahead of Prime Day are fantastic!

ecobee3 Lite Smart Thermostat with Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit

ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control , Black

Now that summer weather is upon us, products like the Ecobee SmartThermostat and the Ecobee3 Lite SmartThermostat are absolutely essential. And they happen to be on sale at the lowest prices of the year right now. The former is down to $219, while the latter can be had for just $149.

These smart gadgets end up paying for themselves thanks to energy savings every summer and winter. With that in mind, you’d have to be crazy to pass up these terrific bargains.

Ecobee’s discounts on both thermostat models offer the lowest prices of the year. That means you know you’re getting the best possible deal if you get in on the action right now.

And on top of those two bargains, the hot new Ecobee SmartCamera keeps going on sale as well. Hit it at the right time and you can pick up a bunch of them for just $79.99 each.

Ecobee thermostat deals

It doesn’t matter whether it costs $200 or $2,000. Either way, a smart thermostat is always a great purchase. That’s because it’ll end up paying for itself with money that you save on your energy bills.

Of course, a $2,000 smart thermostat would take a very long time to pay for itself. If you find a good deal, your cost will be recouped much quicker.

That’s why you definitely need to check out Amazon’s Ecobee thermostat deals ahead of Prime Day 2022.

The $249 Ecobee SmartThermostat is right on par with the Nest Learning Thermostat that kicked off the connected thermostat craze. It has all the basic features a smart thermostat should have. Plus, this model has awesome features you won’t find in a Nest.

The best example is built-in support for Alexa voice commands. That’s right, it’s basically a smart thermostat with an Echo Dot built right in!

ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control , Black

It goes without saying that $249 is a steal for this model. But it’s down to just $219 ahead of Prime Day 2022.

If you don’t need some of those bells and whistles like built-in voice control, the $179 Ecobee3 Lite Smart Thermostat is on sale right now for $149. You really can’t go wrong at that price.

As we mentioned earlier, those are both the lowest prices of the year.

On top of all that, Ecobee’s popular SmartCamera is on sale too. It retails for $100 but it’s down to $79.99 ahead of Prime Day 2022. And finally, the Ecobee SmartSensors for doors and windows are down to $58 for a 2-pack.

These deals are all around from now until April 27th. They’re all sellout risks though, so you might want to check them out sooner rather than later.

Don’t ask how, don’t ask why, and don’t ask how long they’ll be around. All you need to know is that dozens of the best Black Friday deals from Amazon in 2021 have somehow reappeared. With the holidays now long gone, however, there’s no question that these deals will disappear as quickly as they reappeared.

Long story short, these are can’t-miss deals that are definitely not going to be around for very long. Forget all the great Memorial Day 2022 sales from last month, because these deals are even better.

As a matter of fact, it’s like Prime Day 2022 is already here now instead of in July! Be sure to read about Amazon’s big Prime Day 2022 announcement and check out all the best early Prime Day deals you can already shop.

So many of our readers’ favorite deals from Black Friday and Cyber Monday are back in June 2022. And that’s after most of them ended a couple of weeks or even months ago.

Best sales to shop now

We’re talking the best of the best here, like AirPods Pro for just $174.99. Incredibly, this price matches the lowest price of 2022 so far! It’s also a whopping $74 less than what you’d pay if you bought them from the Apple store.

As for other AirPods models, they’re on sale at some of the lowest prices of 2022.

AirPods 3 are down to $149.99 (2022’s lowest price!) and AirPods 2 are $99.99 right now. AirPods Max, on the other hand, have an even deeper $120 discount that drops them to an all-time low of $429.

Apple AirPods Pro

Then, there’s an amazing deal that actually beats Black Friday pricing from last year. #1 best-selling Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows have more than 131,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. They retail for $50 per 2-pack, but they have a big discount today that slashes your price to $12.90 per pillow.

You’ll also find Danjor 1800 thread count bed sheets with 92,000 5-star ratings on sale for just $19.99 per set.

Those are all fantastic deals — and there’s so much more.

We don’t know if this is intentional or if someone is asleep at the wheel. In either case, we’re going to show you 20 incredible Black Friday Deals at Amazon that we definitely didn’t expect to come back now that Black Friday is long gone.

Of course, it should go without saying that any or all of these sales could be gone for good at any moment.

Prime Day deals came early to Amazon

Apple deals are always among the best Black Friday and Prime Day deals at Amazon each year. That makes sense, of course, since Apple doesn’t really have Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals of its own.

In 2022, there are some truly staggering Apple sales that have reemerged.

Among them are AirPods Pro with MagSafe for just $174.99 and AirPods 3 for $149.99. AirPods Max are on sale as well with a nice big $120 discount, plus you can get AirPods 2 for $99.99.

Beyond those great deals, Amazon is offering some great discounts on the Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS and GPS+Cellular). As a matter of fact, the Apple Watch Series 7 is down to its lowest price of the year thanks to a nice massive $70 discount.

That means prices start at just $329!

Some SKUs have already sold out and others are no longer discounted. With that in mind, we expect these deals to disappear pretty soon.

Also of note, the Apple Watch SE is back on sale with an even deeper discount than last week. Hurry and you can save $50 on the Space Gray model or the Silver model.

That means you’ll pay only $229 for either Apple Watch SE colorway, and that’s the lowest price ever!

The SE is definitely the most popular Apple Watch model right now among our readers. But there’s an even crazier deal if you hurry. Believe it or not, the Apple Watch Series 3 42mm is down to just $199 right now at Amazon!

These are the top-selling pillows on Amazon’s entire site and they’ve never been cheaper. As a matter of fact, they’re among the best-selling products, period, on all of Amazon!

Beyond that, best-selling Danjor 1800 thread count bed sheets are down to just $19.99. That is an unbelievable price for sheets with 92,000 5-star ratings.

We would definitely add a smart garage door opener to the list too because they’re awesome. In addition, the best-selling MyQ is only $29.98 these days, and you can score a $30 Amazon credit!

With just a few days to go before Father’s Day 2022, some of the best deals of the season are wrapping up. That includes incredible Amazon Echo deals that are down to prices so low that it seems like Prime Day is already here.

The nation’s top online retailer is going all out this year. Amazon slashed the prices of just about every last Echo device you can think of last month. But those offers all disappeared a long time ago.

Now, so many of those incredible deals are back!

You’ll find all the Amazon Echo device deals you can handle right here. Or, if you just want to skip to the very best Echo deals, we’ve rounded them all up in this article.

Just keep in mind that Father’s Day 2022 is right around the corner. That means you’ll need to order soon if you want your new Echo device to arrive in time.

Amazon Echo deals for Father’s Day 2022

Everyone loves Amazon’s Echo speakers, so we’re going to start there. And by the way, what’s not to love? You get great sound quality to stream music anywhere in your house. But more importantly, you get hands-free access to Alexa and all of the awesome skills that come with it.

Ahead of Father’s Day 2022, Amazon’s Echo deals slash several different models to surprisingly low prices. The Echo 4th-Gen speaker that normally sells for $100 is down to $74.99.

You’ll also find deep discounts on the Echo Dot 3rd-Gen, Echo Dot 4th-Gen, and more. Prices start at just $24.99 for the 3rd-Gen model.

We definitely recommend going for the Echo Dot 4 instead of the third-generation model, however. It’s so much better, and it’s only $3 more.

Also, these deals give you the opportunity to score a $25 Amazon Smart Plug for just $5! All you need to do is pick up a $29.99 Echo Dot 3 & Amazon Smart Plug bundle or a $32.99 Echo Dot 4 & Amazon Smart Plug bundle.

Everyone knows that a smart thermostat like the new entry-level Nest Thermostat and Nest Learning Thermostat is a no-brainer purchase because it pays for itself. As a matter of fact, the Nest Learning Thermostat is a great value at any price. After all, you eventually make the purchase price back in savings on your energy bills.

Of course, it’s still a good idea to get the Nest Learning Thermostat while it’s on sale for $50 off retail. Why not make your money back even faster if you can?

It’s like Prime Day 2022 came early this year!

Everyone needs a smart thermostat

We’ve told our readers this countless times in the past. But there’s really no way to overemphasize this point: You need a smart thermostat.

Not “you should get” a smart thermostat or “you might want to consider” a smart thermostat. You need one, and it’s just plain crazy not to have one.

Forget all the convenient smart features and the nifty design. The bottom line is that smart thermostats save you money by cutting down your energy bills using smart scheduling and other intelligent features.

Everyone wants to save money, of course. And you can get started with two great deals on Amazon today that slash Nest thermostats to their best prices of 2022.

Starting with the more affordable model, the newest Nest Thermostat is probably the single most popular smart thermostat model out there. It packs all the same features as the pricier smart thermostat from Nest. But it doesn’t have a stainless steel case or an OLED display, so you save money.

Those are both nifty features, but they’re also purely aesthetic. The Nest Thermostat still has a beautiful design with a mirrored display. It pays for itself in a matter of months thanks to all the money you’ll save on your energy bills.

Especially right now, while it’s on sale for just $99.

Nest Learning Thermostat price falls to $199

Just look at all the great 5-star reviews on Amazon.

“I installed myself in about 15 minutes and I am not a handyman. The app is easy to use and you can set schedules. I saved over $30 on our utility bill the first month we had it,” one reviewer said. “This is the third one that I have owned. I would not live without it. They are absolutely great, fast service if you need to talk to a trouble technician oh, they do what they are supposed to do,” boasted another.

Everyone loves that awesome model, and it’s on sale right now for as little as $119. Make sure you check Amazon’s “other sellers” section to get the lowest price.

Before you commit to that model though, there’s an even better deal you should know about on the upgraded version.

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a bit more expensive than the entry-level Nest model, but it still pays for itself in savings. It might just take a little longer to pay for itself, is all.

If you pick one up now on Amazon, however, it’ll take much less time than it normally does because it’s currently discounted. And lucky for you, the most popular color option — silver stainless steel — is also the one with the biggest discount!

You really can’t go wrong with either model. You’ll save money which is great for your wallet, and you’ll conserve energy which is great for the environment.

Plus, on top of all the smart scheduling features, you can also use the Nest app on your phone to control your smart thermostats. And of course, both models work with Alexa voice commands as well as Google Assistant.
