Spring is a season of refreshment and renewal. It’s an “upgrade season,” if you will, and Amazon’s Big Spring Sale offers a little something for everyone to add faster and better gadgets to their homes and everyday carry. The sale, which runs through March 25th, offers great deals on tech across the board, whether you’re after a new pair of headphones or perhaps a robot vacuum to help with your spring cleaning duties.

There are tons of products on sale, and it’d be impossible to tell you about every last one of them. That’s why, below, we’ve compiled all of the best deals on devices and gadgets that we’ve vetted from brands we trust. You can scroll at your leisure or use the jump links below to go straight to your category of interest.

Headphone and earbud deals

The second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and onboard volume controls. The latest refresh also ships with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning. Read our hands-on impressions.

Bose’s latest flagship headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 that offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around. Read our review.

With dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.

Bose’s standard QuietComfort Headphones are also on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $249 ($100 off), matching their all-time low. Unlike their predecessor, the QC45, Bose’s newer over-ear headphones feature adjustable noise cancellation and custom listening modes that allow you to let in as much (or as little) outside noise as you’d like.

If Jabra’s Elite 8 Active are out of your budget, the fitness-focused Jabra Elite 4 Active are down to $89.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. While not an all-time low, that’s one of the better prices we’ve seen so far this year on the buds. They aren’t as capable or as rugged as the Elite 8 Active, which boast an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, but they still deliver good sound, active noise cancellation, and an IP57 rating.

The Elite 8 Active boast all the hallmarks of a premium pair of Jabra earbuds — good sound, reliability, etc. — while leaning into a more rugged, dustproof design.

While we’ve seen them for as low as $159 recently, this is still a $40 discount on the noise-canceling buds, which offer 24-bit audio support and great sound. They’re a particularly good option for Samsung Galaxy phone owners, who can enjoy extra perks like head tracking and spatial audio. Read our review.If you’re not a fan of silicon ear tips, the newer Echo Buds Amazon released last year have also returned to their all-time low of $34.99 ($15 off) at Amazon. The earbuds lack ANC, but they integrate with Amazon Alexa for hands-free commands and feature a semi-open design that lets you remain tuned into your surroundings.

Amazon’s basic Fire TV Soundbar is matching its all-time low of $99.99 ($20 off) at Amazon.
