Headphones, tablets, and more

JLab JBuddies Studio Wireless Headphones (2020)

$24 $30

Buy now from Amazon

Although protecting a child’s hearing isn’t as simple as just handing over a pair of volume-limiting headphones, they’re a great tool that can assist in guarding a child’s delicate eardrums. The JLab JBuddies Studio Wireless 2020 is a great choice if you’re seeking a less expensive set for older kids. Although it doesn’t sound as good as our top pick, kids in our tests liked the soft padding, simple design, and optional fabric-wrapped cable with in-line remote/mic.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet (32 GB, 10th generation)

$60 $75

Buy now from Amazon

Even though we expect to see slightly better discounts during Prime Day, you can’t go wrong with the inexpensive Amazon Fire HD 8 if you’re in need of a cheap Android tablet for reading or watching videos. This version of the Fire HD 8 has only 32 GB of storage, but it accepts microSD cards, so you can add more storage as needed. It doesn’t come with the Google Play store or Google apps, but Amazon’s stores have a ton of books, music, TV, and movies.

Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse

$80 $100
Use code LOGITECH20

Buy now from Lenovo

Wireless mice are convenient—they don’t clutter up desk space with wires, and they can make for faster and easier navigation than a trackpad. If you spend all day using a mouse or just want a fancier option, the Logitech MX Master 3 is comfortable for all grips and hand sizes. It comes with a second scroll wheel for your thumb and has five other programmable buttons. It’s more expensive than our other picks, but using the coupon code LOGITECH20 makes the MX Master 3 a little more affordable.

MATCHES LOWEST PRICE

Logitech MX Keys Wireless Keyboard

$80 $100
Use code LOGITECH20

Buy now from Lenovo

Just like a wireless mouse, a wireless keyboard can help you keep your work space from getting overrun with wires and cables. For those who prefer a full-size keyboard, the MX Keys offers the best typing experience of the full-size keyboards we’ve tested, and it can connect via Bluetooth or USB dongle. Next to basic keyboards, it’s pricey, but the code LOGITECH20 helps alleviate some of the cost.

NEW LOW PRICE

Echo Show 10 Smart Display

$210 $250

Buy now from Amazon

From displaying recipes to video-chatting with family and friends, smart displays can be a functional addition to any household. As our upcoming upgrade pick for the best Alexa smart display, the Echo Show 10 is similar in design to the Facebook Portal and features a 10.1-inch HD screen that sits on a motorized disk. Able to rotate a full 360°, the display will turn to face you once given a command and will continue to follow you with it’s 13-megapixel camera if on a video call. While this is the lowest price and first deal we’ve posted for the Show 10, we expect prices to drop even further during Prime Day.
