To kick off the back half of Prime Day 2022, Amazon is offering yet another great discount on an Apple product. A 4-pack of practical Apple AirTags keyfinders is available for only $84.99. That’s 15% off the original MSRP of $100 and averages out to just over $21 per AirTag.

Amazon Prime Day Deal: 4-Pack Apple Airtags for $85

The Apple Airtag is a small coin shaped device that you can put in your wallet or attach to your phones, keys, remote, or anything small enough to be easily misplaced. It works as a little WiFi keyfinder that helps you locate your lost objects by pinging the exact location to your iPhone. In my personal experience, it works more reliably than the Tile keyfinder. At close range, your iPhone will look for the device using Bluetooth 5.0, or Ultra Wideband on newer iPhones. At longer range, the AirTag will actually use every available Apple device in the immediate vicinity to triangulate the exact position of the item at large. That’s a lot inadvertent help. This is a very convenient gadget for anyone who already has an iPhone and thends to lose his or her small essentials around the house.

Amazon Prime Day Deal: 70% Off AirTag Loops

The AirTag Loop securely and easily fits your AirTag to your bag, backpack, keychain, or anything else that has a loop for this to attach to. It’s made out of durable polyurethane and although $29 is a bit much for this, $9 (70% off) is a great price. Three colors are available.

As part of its Amazon Prime Day Counter Sale, Walmart is offering the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 multimedia speaker system for a low, low price of $49, a whopping $50 price drop from its original $99 price point. The Promedia 2.1 has always been a strong contender for best computer speakers under $100, and having the price marked down by 50% makes this an unbelievable bargain. This would make an excellent speaker system for your gaming setup.

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 PC Speakers for $49

The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers have been around for over two decades, and even today it’s still considered one of the best 2.1ch dedicated computer speakers you can get. The new model with wireless Bluetooth streaming has a few changes on the spec sheet in order to keep the price down, since the MSRP has dropped from $140 to $100, but for the most part it remains very familiar. The set consists of two satellite speakers, each featuring a .5″ Klipsch Micro-Tractrix horn tweeter (replacing the old .75″ soft dome tweeter) and 3″ long-throw fiber composite cone woofer for crisp sound definition and clear mids and highs. The 6.5″ 100W powered subwoofer, down from the 200W rating on the older model, rounds out the bottom end by providing more than enough oomph for those bass heavy beats. This particular model has also been recently updated with wireless Bluetooth streaming but the THX certification has been removed. No big deal there.

I owned a set of these speakers through college and well after I graduated, a period of 10 years or so. It performed superbly up until it was stolen one day. I don’t need another pair of PC speakers in my life right now, but even so it’s hard for me to pass this deal up.

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is shaping up to be a strong contender for one of the best Prime Days we’ve seen. There are amazing deals on items that are actually desirable, as opposed to random junk that we’ve seen peddled on the site in previous Amazon Prime Day sales. There’s still plenty of time left to go and we’ll undoubtedly see more deals go live, but in the interim here are the best Amazon Prime Day deals so far that you won’t want to miss out.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #1: Buy $50 Amazon eGift Card, Get Free $12.50 Amazon Credit

As long as you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’re eligible for this deal. This “free money” deal only comes around once a year, and usually on Amazon Prime Day. There is absolutely zero reason for you to not jump on this deal, unless of course you hate money or you never see yourself purchasing anything at Amazon ever again.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #2: Apple TV 4K for $109.99

The Apple TV 4K just hit its lowest price ever. Amazon is offering a flat $70 off both 32GB and 64GB models. That’s a substantial 39% discount on the 32GB model. There is certainly no lack of 4K media streaming devices out there for you to choose from and it might be confusing for someone to figure out which one is the best. Well let’s be clear right off the bat that the Apple TV stands atop the heap as one of the best, if not the best media streamers available, doubly so if you already own an iPhone or iPad.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #3: AirPods Pro for $169.99

The current generation Apple AirPods Pro earbuds, which includes the new MagSafe compatible wireless charger, has dropped to the lowest price we’ve ever seen. These earbuds retail for $249 at the Apple Store, but Amazon has it starting today for $169.99, a price drop of almost $80, or 32% off MSRP. This is definitely going to be one of the most popular deals during Amazon Prime Day. If you’re thinking of getting any pair of new AirPods, we highly recommend jumping on this particular model.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #4: Apple Watch 7 for $279

There’s no better time for you to score what is inarguably the best smartwatch on the market. For Amazon Prime Day, the current generation Apple Watch Series 7 smart watch has dropped to the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. Pretty much every single Apple Watch Series 7 model is on sale right now. That includes the base aluminum GPS 41mm model that starts at a rock bottom price of $279, all the way up to the stainless steel GPS + cellular models with the fancy Milanese loop strap. All color options are discounted.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #5: 15% Off Nvidia Shield Pro

Amazon Prime Day brings us a deal on a rarely discounted media player, the NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro. It’s normally $199.99, but today Amazon has docked the price by 15% down to $169.99. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the newest generation Shield Pro. Without doubt this is the one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, ready to go 4K HDR streaming media player you’ll find on the market.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #6: Sony WH1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones for $229

The Sony WH1000XM4 might have a generic name, but the quality of these headphones is anything but. In recent years, Sony’s WH1000XM series of headphones have shaken Bose’s longstanding reputation for having the best noise cancelling headphones on the market. Bose still has the edge in terms of better noise cancellation, but many reviewers tip their hats toward the Sony WH1000 for slightly better audio quality and more comfortable ergonomics. The WH1000XM4 also boasts up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. If you run out, charging for just 10 minutes will give you another 5 hours of playback. It charges via USB Type-C, which is a welcome upgrade over the legacy Micro USB from previous models.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #7: Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells and Media Stand Bundle for $405

For Amazon Prime Day, take home a pair of Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells, along with the matching stand, for $405.30, or 30% off the MSRP of $578. The dumbbells alone currently cost $429 on Amazon. You’re paying less than that for the entire bundle and, on top of that, essentially getting the $179 stand for free.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #8: PS5 DualSense for $59

For those of you lucky enough to own a PlayStation 5 console, there’s a great Amazon Prime Day deal for you. From now until July 13 midnight PS5, the official PS5 DualSense controller has dropped in price to $59, down from its $75 MSRP, or a savings of 20%. There’s only one other time that we saw this deal, and that was during Sony’s Days of Play event. It’s unlikely we’ll see the price go back down again until Black Friday. All six color options are available.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #9: 48″ LG C1 4K OLED Smart Gaming TV for $797 Plus 10% Amazon Cash Back

For Prime Day, Amazon is offering the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the LG C1 48″ 4K OLED Smart TV. Right now it’s priced at $796.99, a $700 price drop from its $1500 MSRP. That alone would be a good enough deal, but it gets even better if you’re an Amazon Prime member who has signed up for the Prime Card.

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’re eligible for the no annual fee Amazon Prime Card, which is an amazing card to get because it gives you 5% cashback on all purchases on Amazon. For a limited time, you get a bigger 10% cashback on LG OLED TVs, including this one. That means you’ll be getting about $80 back on this particular Prime Day TV deal and your final price will essentially be $716.99. You will only see the 10% cashback offer if you’re logged in with an Amazon account that has the Prime Card.

Amazon Prime Day Deal #10: Purchase a Meta Quest 2 VR Headset, Get a $25 Amazon Gift Card

To this day, the Meta (formerly Oculus) Quest 2 is still the best value in VR gaming. At $299.99, it’s hundreds of dollars cheaper than any of its closest competitors. If that wasn’t enough, Amazon is here to sweeten the deal just for Prime Day sales. Purchase either the 128GB or 256GB Meta Quest 2 VR headset and you’ll get a bonus $25 Amazon gift card. That doesn’t sound like much, but that’s essentially 8% cashback on the 128GB model and 6% cashback on the 256GB model. If you have an Amazon Prime Card, you’ll get an extra 5% cashback on top of that. The savings add up.
