New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. 

Prime Day 2025 won't officially kick off until tomorrow, but there are already early deals on Amazon devices and general tech available now. If you're looking to stay on a budget, I already wrote about early Prime Day tech deals under $25. If your budget is a bit higher, here are the best early teach deals under $50:

Outdoor speakers

Anker has been killing it in the budget speaker and headphone department for some time now. The Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a great example, currently $29.44 (originally $44.99).

If you're looking for a more recognizable brand name, you can try the Sony SRS-XB100 Wireless Bluetooth speaker, currently just $33 (originally $59.99). This is a record low price for this speaker.

Amazon smart speaker

While you can't take the Amazon Echo Dot outdoors like the previous speakers, you can command it to turn devices on/off, ask it questions, or play music in multiple rooms if you own multiple Echo speakers. You can get this newest model for $31.99 (originally $49.99).

Earphones

As I previously mentioned, Anker also makes great budget earbuds. The Soundcore P30i are just $39.99 (originally $49.99), offering ANC, 45 hours of battery, and an IP54 splash-proof rating.

For those in the Amazon Echo ecosystem, consider the Amazon Echo Buds, which are currently at their lowest price ever of $44.99 (originally $139.99) after a 60% discount. They have ANC, hands-free Alexa, and are compatible with both iOS and Android.

If you're looking for over-ear headphones, Anker also has the Soundcore Q20i Hybrid ANC Headphones currently for $49.99 (originally $69.99). They have powerful bass, customizable EQ in the companion app, and 40 hours of battery.

Security cameras

Blink always has good deals during Amazon events—it's owned by Amazon after all. Right now, you can get the latest Blink Video Doorbell with the Sync Module Core for $34.99 (originally $69.99). If you prefer an outdoor camera, get the same bundle but with the Blink Outdoor 4 for $39.99 (originally $79.99)

Roku streaming stick

My favorite streaming stick is Roku, it's simple, responsive, reliable, and affordable. The Streaming Stick 4K has HDR and Dolby Vision compatibility and the remote has voice support. Get it for $34.99 (originally $49.99). Check out other Roku options here.

Point-and-shoot camera

Point-and-shoot cameras have been making a comeback. You can get the Camkory Kids Camera for $39.99 (originally $49.99), which shoots 1080p with a 44MP camera lens.

Mini projector

You don't need an expensive projector to get the job done. The Clokowe Mini Projector is just $34.99 (originally $69.99) after using the 30% on-page coupon. It projects in 1080p and it's compatible with iOS and Android phones. Not bad for a budget projector.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.
