Prime Day may be over, but Amazon’s holiday deals have only just begun

Prime Day was a 48-hour event chock-full of sales. But, just because Prime Day is over it doesn’t mean all the best sales are gone. Holiday sales have just begun and the rest of the year is going to be jam-packed with Back Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas sales. Amazon has already started listing tons of great holiday deals on tech, home goods, and more. We’ll be rounding up the best offers you should know about below, so keep reading!

There are going to be a lot of new offers daily, the closer we get to Black Friday. Keep your eyes peeled for any must-have offers that go live in the run-up to the event. If you see a gadget you really want at a really low price, buy it. You can always return it later if you see a better deal pop up during Black Friday or even Cyber Monday. Amazon also extended its return policy this year to 2021, so anything you shop now can be returned by the end of January. This is particularly great if you’re in charge of buying all the gifts. If your loved one doesn’t like what you bought them, you have extended time to return those goods and buy them something new.

There are also going to be tons of holiday lightning deals, so make sure to watch out for those. Lightning deals are usually daily deals that have a limited amount of stock assigned to them. If you see something you like don’t hesitate to click “buy.” Chances are, that product won’t see another discount anytime soon. One important buying tip to keep in mind: Always check reviews and do a little bit of research before you purchase any product. Though Amazon is a pretty trustworthy site, there are always a few rotten deals floating around. A simple check of the ratings and reviews on the product’s page should usually do the trick. If you’re looking to buy a bigger tech gadget, check out our product reviews before so you know what you’re getting yourself into. Finally, make sure to get most of your holiday shopping done in advance. Amazon might see extended shipping delays the closer we get to Christmas.

This crazy Sennheiser headphones Prime Day deal is an Amazon exclusive
Sennheiser Accentum Wireless SE.

Sennheiser has just released a new version of its Accentum Wireless headphones, which it calls the Accentum Wireless SE. The two models are essentially identical save for two things: The SE has copper-colored accents, and it comes packaged with Sennheiser's BTD 600 aptX Adaptive USB dongle. Ordinarily, the SE is priced at $200, putting it more or less between the Accentum Wireless ($180) and the Accentum Plus Wireless ($230). However, during Amazon's Prime Day sale, the SE bundle is just $125 -- a 38% discount on a set of wireless headphones that were already a great value even at their regular price.

I was deeply impressed by the Accentum Wireless when I reviewed them earlier in 2024. The combination of their design, sound quality, comfort, and price helped them stand out from the sea of wireless headphones you can buy at similar prices. The Accentum Wireless SE preserve all of these qualities (plus they add that hit of copper color) and then throw in a USB Bluetooth dongle, making them an even better value. In fact, at their Prime Day discount, they're even less expensive than the sale price on the regular Accentum Wireless.

My favorite Switch accessory is on sale for Prime Day
HyperX Chargeplay Quad charger.

The Nintendo Switch is one of my favorite consoles for multiplayer gaming. With so many great multiplayer Switch games, there's something for everyone no matter their gaming skills. If your more adept gaming buddies are over, you can start up a serious Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament or have some intense Splatoon 3 matches. And if you've got some more casual gamers or absolute noobs in the mix, you can jump into more straightforward fun like Super Mario Party or Mario Kart 8 where everyone can have a little fun.

But whatever Switch game you're turning into an event, the most important thing is having enough controllers for everyone -- and making sure those controllers are charged.

If you only buy one game this Prime Day, it should be this one
Ichiban and Sujimon celebrating.

Each year during Amazon Prime Day, I like to browse for some of the best gaming deals. It's a good opportunity to pick up some recent games at cheaper-than-usual prices and catch up on some releases from the first half of the year. While I already own the game in question, I spotted one deal during my search that I don't think any RPG fans should pass up. The PlayStation 4 and PS5 versions of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is on sale for just $35.

Typically priced at $70, this is a 50% discount on my favorite RPG of 2024, a game I like even more than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma 2. While it might seem a bit daunting to get into the latest entry in a long-running, soap-operatic gaming franchise, Infinite Wealth is one of the most entertaining games of the year and worth picking up at just $35 if you haven't played it already.
