After several months of speculation, we now know that Prime Day 2024 will take place on Tuesday, July 16, and Wednesday, July 17. Luckily, if you’re looking to get a head start on deals before the upcoming sales event, amazon has already started rolling out deep discounts on a number of its own devices, including TVs, e-readers, streaming devices, and even Alexa-powered curtains. The list of Prime-exclusive deals is still relatively short for now, but it’s set to explode to include thousands of products in just a few weeks.

amazon.com/amazon-Fire-TV-Stick-Max/dp/B0BXLZHDNC?tag=theverge02-20″>amazon is offering His last Fire TV Stick 4K Max In refurbished condition for $29.99 (50 percent off) right now, which matches the streaming device’s all-time low price. The used device has basically been reset to factory settings (wiped, cleaned, and inspected) and comes with the same one-year warranty as a new model.
The Max is the first Fire TV streaming device we recommend if you need a sleek option and can’t go for a set-top box like the Fire TV Cube. It’s considerably faster than the regular Fire TV Stick 4K, offers twice the storage, and supports Wi-Fi 6E. It can also display artwork and widgets while idle (much like Samsung’s Frame TVs), and comes with an improved Alexa Voice Remote with shortcut buttons for popular streaming services.

You can get one amazon Kindle Scribe Starter Kit — that comes with a folio-style leather case and a power adapter, either with a amazon.com/Essentials-including-Premium-Leather-Magnetic/dp/B0BG145JV1/?tag=theverge02-20″>Basic pen starting at $276.97 ($173 off) or a amazon.com/Essentials-including-Premium-Leather-Magnetic/dp/B0BG1CF812/?tag=theverge02-20″>Premium pen starting at $294.97 ($185 off) The Premium Pen is the best value option, as it has a built-in digital eraser and shortcut button, features the Basic Pen lacks.
We’ve grown accustomed to the Kindle Scribe since we first reviewed it at launch. The e-reader’s large 10.2-inch display is great for reading, but we felt the e-reader’s note-taking capabilities lacked substance. That’s changed considerably over the past year, as amazon has rolled out a number of updates, some of which added handwriting recognition, more pen styles, better notebook organization, and the ability to annotate directly on individual pages.

He amazon Fire TV Omni 55-inch is down to $349.99 ($200 off) at amazon.com/amazon-fire-tv-55-inch-omni-series-4k-smart-tv/dp/B08P3QVFMK?tag=theverge02-20″>amazonwhich is only $50 more than its best price to date. It’s not the Omni with QLED, to be clear, nor is it the best TV for gamers looking to take full advantage of the newer consoles’ high refresh rates. That said, it’s a decent TV for the money if you don’t care about any of that.
The 4K set doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR (you’ll need a 65- or 75-inch model for that), but it still supports HDR10, HLG, and has relatively low input lag. There are built-in microphones for hands-free Alexa voice commands, meaning you don’t always need the remote to turn on the TV and find something to watch. It also has three HDMI ports for connecting Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and other streaming devices, one of which supports HDMI eARC for external audio with a single cable to compatible soundbars and receivers.

from amazon amazon.com/dp/B0BSGQL41X?tag=theverge02-20″>Invitation only offer at the Sony WH-CH520 Headphones It's a great chance to get some Prime Day practice in. The tan model will be on sale for an all-time low price of $35.99 ($44 off) on July 16 and 17; however, you must be a Prime member and request an invitation to purchase them. If you're selected, amazon will email you details on how to complete your purchase, which is how invite-only deals will work during the event.
The entry-level headphones are a step down from Sony's WH-1000XM5 and even the amazon.com/dp/B0BS1QCFHX?tag=theverge02-20″>WH-CH720NBut that’s forgivable considering the huge price difference. You’ll miss out on active noise cancellation, and because they use an over-ear design rather than a more traditional one, you might not find them as comfortable as other models. They should offer solid sound quality in a pinch, though, along with an impressive 50-hour battery life. They also offer support for multipoint connectivity, the Google Assistant, Siri, and Google’s Find My Device network.
