From portable power stations to voice-controlled lighting, the selection spans the entire smart-home ecosystem and the audio market. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to upgrade your charging setup or grab a new pair of headphones, now is the time to act before the midnight deadline.

Each recommendation includes real-world feedback from our staff, so you know exactly how the product performs in everyday scenarios. Keep reading to lock in savings on the accessories that will keep your devices powered, your home connected, and your ears happy.

Charging accessories steals

One of the most common complaints during the holiday season is the shortage of wall outlets. A five-outlet surge protector that also delivers four USB ports is now discounted by 23%, making it a solid choice for any household hub. The unit’s flat-mount design reduces the risk of accidental pulls, and the mix of USB-A and USB-C ports lets you charge a phone and an iPad simultaneously. Jess Bender, deputy managing editor, notes that the flat profile “stays flush against the outlet and keeps both iPhone and iPad chargers within easy reach.”

For travelers, a 4-in-1 car charger is currently on sale for less than $30. It features two retractable cords, two USB ports, and enough juice to recharge four devices at once. Erica Marrison, partnerships associate editor, calls it “life-changing” because a single battery charge can replenish three smartphones, plus a pair of earbuds or a laptop in a pinch. The built-in power bank also includes a USB-C cable capable of boosting a phone to 50% in roughly half an hour.

Smart-home discounts

Smart lighting has become a staple of modern homes, and Amazon’s deal roster includes a smart light switch that can be managed via an app or voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Users can set schedules, monitor energy usage, and toggle lights hands-free. The switch is offered at nearly 50% off, and installation is designed to be completed in under five minutes, according to the manufacturer.

For those who prefer a plug-in solution, a popular smart plug is available at a steep discount. The device supports both Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to command coffee makers, lamps, or pet feeders with a simple voice command. Meanwhile, multi-color smart bulbs that support over 16 million hues can be slipped into any existing fixture, transforming vintage lamps into internet-connected luminaires in less than three minutes. Video producer Dani Mussacchio shared that the bulbs “turned my grandmother’s heirloom lamp into a smart lamp with just a few taps in the Kasa app.”

Audio gear bargains

Headphones and earbuds are the crown jewels of the Prime Day lineup. A pair of true-wireless earbuds priced under $30 has amassed more than 40,000 five-star reviews, with users praising its “Rolls-Royce” sound quality and effortless pairing. The earbuds deliver up to 10 hours of playback per charge, plus an additional 30 hours from the charging case, and feature an open-ear design that keeps ambient sound audible for runners.

On the over-ear side, Beats offers a model with active noise cancellation (ANC) and up to 40 hours of battery life for just over half price. Similarly, Bose’s QuietComfort line—renowned for its acoustic clarity—drops by 53% during the final hours. Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, equipped with ANC, spatial audio and health-tracking sensors, also see a noticeable markdown, making them a tempting buy for iOS enthusiasts. Whether you prefer the sealed isolation of over-ear headphones or the lightweight freedom of earbuds, the current deals provide premium performance at budget-friendly prices.
