Live and Direct: The Best Prime Day Deals of 2024

Flexispot makes some of our favorite affordable standing desks, and for Prime Day, this means a chance to get its excellent tables at even lower prices. There’s a selection on sale, but we have tested and like the EN1. It’s a bit cumbersome to assemble but it has performed flawlessly in our testing for several years, includes presets, and looks great.

I also like Flexispot’s adjustable, rollable table, which is on sale for $85 ($15 off). This one is great near a bed or couch, as you can put the legs underneath your furniture and bring the desktop close to your seat.

Usually, you only have one of two choices when setting up your office: you can pay for a decent office chair up front, or your back can pay the price later. We’ve discovered a secret, third option. One of our favorite office chairs has a breathable mesh fabric, sturdy frame, and adjustable headrest and lumbar support. Best of all, it’s frequently on sale, but never quite this low. There’s literally never been a better time to do your spine a favor.

If you’re going to name your sex toy the “Satisfyer”, it better live up to its name. Fortunately the Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) does. This clitoral suction toy is comfy to hold with one hand, waterproof enough to be used in the bath, and a removable mouth that makes it easy to clean.

The toy has multiple suction modes so you can go for a feeling that’s more intense or more gentle, depending on your body’s needs. While toys like this are mainly designed with the clitoris in mind, they work great on plenty of areas that are sensitive, like nipples or your frenulum. If you’ve ever been curious to try, this deal makes it more accessible than ever to try a toy like this.

I’m not the biggest fan of stuffing Windows into a gaming handheld. Devices like the Switch and the Steam Deck work because the whole operating system is built to run on battery power and use controllers. Windows brings interface awkwardness, power and battery inefficiencies, and a lot of waiting for software updates that bring incremental improvements. If you’re going to wade through that mess, there have to be some pretty solid upsides.

Fortunately, the Legion Go (5/10, WIRED Review) has a few. It has detachable, Joy-Con-like controllers, and a unique FPS mode that lets you hold one controller like a joystick, but slide it across the desk like a mouse. It’s a fascinating control scheme I’d love to see developers play around with. It’s still not great in the way that the Steam Deck is, but if you’re willing to put up with some UI cruft (and stay near a wall charger), this is the most interesting Windows handheld on the market.

Remember how dramatic it was to hang up on someone with a flip phone? We really gotta bring that back. It’s not nearly as satisfying to tap a red circle when you’re angry. Fortunately, the Razr+ knows how to end a call in spectacular fashion. You can answer calls by flipping open the large foldable screen, and hang up by slamming it shut. Oh, and it’s a pretty solid smartphone with wireless charging, a decent camera, and that handy external screen. I suppose those things matter, too.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance it’s because you—like me—are up late hunting those deals. Well, we’re both gonna need some caffeine to get through this. Fortunately, our favorite espresso machine for most people is on sale. It grinds your beans, it steams your milk, and it maintains consistent pressure for brewing up that perfect shot of espresso. If you’ve ever wanted a whole coffee shop on your kitchen counter, now’s your chance.

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) earbuds are already one of our favorite budget picks in our Best Wireless Earbuds guide. They have excellent noise-canceling, up to 10 hours of battery life, and they’re so comfortable and lightweight that they can go toe-to-toe (er, ear-to-ear?) with Apple’s AirPods. Right now, they’re on sale for $50. Fifty dollars! That’s just absurd. You could spend five times as much money on decent earbuds, but fortunately you don’t have to.

I just can’t bring myself to upgrade the storage when I buy my phone. It costs like $100 to go from 128GB to 256GB? Come on, be serious. No, it’s much better to buy a micro SD card like this one from SanDisk that costs a measly $16 right now for 128GB. That can give you tons more space to store photos and videos on your phone, or download games on your Switch.

Several other storage sizes are also on sale, including and especially this SanDisk 1.5TB Micro SD card for $84 ($26 off). That’s a massive amount of storage for a reasonable price. Even this 1TB Micro SD card is $83 on sale, so for an extra dollar, you can get an extra half terabyte. It’s hard to beat that.

Who says a keyboard either has to be boring, or drenched in RGB lighting? Not Logitech, that’s for sure. The Logitech Pop Keys (9/10, WIRED Recommends) comes in a wide range of delightful color palettes. Along the right side, there’s a row of dedicated emoji buttons, and it even comes with some extra keycaps so you can pick which emoji you use the most and put those right on your board.

There are plenty of color options to choose from, but the price is a little different for each one. For the most part, they’re $65-70, though if you want the rather bold Blast Yellow option—which looks a bit like something you’d see in a cubicle in the Bee Movie—you can knock that price down as low as $55.

Mesh Wi-Fi systems are an excellent way to cover your whole home with reliable internet coverage. The only problem is they can get pretty expensive, when you need to buy multiple routers to spread throughout your home. In our Best Mesh Wi-Fi Routers guide, the TP-Link Deco X20 is our budget pick specifically to deal with this problem. This 3-pack of routers broadcasts powerful Wi-Fi 6 signal that can cover up to 5,800 square feet. Right now, the 3-pack is down to a paltry $130, making it more budget friendly than ever.

Amazon’s line of smart speakers has pretty solid sound for the price point and built-in smarts. But if you find yourself wishing that your Echo speaker had a more powerful sound, then you’re in luck. The most powerful Echo speaker, the Echo Studio, is on sale right now for Prime Day. It’s got 350 watts of power and a downward-firing subwoofer that pumps out more low end than most speakers you’ll find of this size, and the Studio can listen and adjust its sound to fit your space. It can play 3D codecs like Dolby Atmos, too. If you want some of the best sound with built-in Alexa, don’t miss the Echo Studio for 15% off.

You don’t always have to buy the latest, greatest phone in order to get a good one. And few phones exemplify that quite like the Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It comes with wireless charging, a 90Hz OLED display, and Google’s typically excellent camera system. The more recent Pixel 8A dropped a couple months ago, but last year’s model has one advantage the new one doesn’t: it’s half the cost.

The Pixel 7A usually costs $500, and even when it’s on sale, it doesn’t go this low. But at $249, it’s approaching bargain bin pricing for a phone that is only a step below (and in some cases still a bit better) than the phone that’s meant to replace it. Deals don’t get much better than this.

You might not think “record player” and “streaming” go together, but the Victrola Stream Onyx sold me on the idea. It brings Victrola’s depth of experience in making record players and marries it with a Sonos-enabled setup, so you can play your records on any speaker in the house with ease.

Audio purists might hear that and call sacrilege. After all, isn’t the point of vinyl to get that classic analog sound? Well, this record player still has the option for analog output, but the convenience of being able to send the sound to any speaker is well worth it. So worth it, in fact, that I’m listening to Queen’s greatest hits while livebloggin’ thanks to this little guy.

The Logitech G Pro X 2 is our favorite gaming headset for most people. It’s an upgrade over our previous pick, the original Pro X (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It has the same comfortable earcups, top-notch microphone audio quality, and Logitech’s Lightspeed connection which minimizes audio lag. Unlike its predecessor, you can still pair this one via Bluetooth if you’d prefer, which is a nice extra option to have.

My arms have never been particularly strong, but as someone who doesn’t want to go lift weights, I resigned myself to a life of scrawniness—until recently, when I had to ask my husband to finish opening a can of crushed tomatoes. Though I still maintain the can opener got rusty and made it harder, I decided I could no longer bear the thought of being weak, so I bought these wrist weights the second they went on sale. They’re not going to bulk me up, but they will help build a little bit of strength while walking around my house. Then, I can graduate to real workouts.

Logitech makes some amazing keyboards that run the gamut from Pro Gamer™ style flashy mechanical boards, to more subdued, flat ones that are suitable for work. Of all of them, though, the Logitech G Pro X TKL is our favorite keyboard. It has stylish RGB backlighting, but the hardware also looks minimal enough that you could switch the LEDs to a mild blue and it wouldn’t look out of place in your office.

It also has a convenient volume roller, your choice of clicky, tactile, or linear switches, and plenty of options for easily swapping to different devices. Right now, it’s down to its lowest price ever, as is its smaller cousin, the G Pro X 60 (down to $148), which is even more compact than this one.

I know. It does seem weird to think about rain when most of the country is baking in a heat wave. Nevertheless, I have been caught in sudden summer storms often enough that an umbrella lives permanently in my car and my travel bag, even during the summer. This is our favorite umbrella. Weatherman offers some of the best umbrellas for the price, and this one is a good size, weighs under a pound, and fits easily into a backpack or tote bag.

I love everything nostalgic. When it comes to tech, that means I long for the days when everything was made from transparent plastic. It is annoyingly hard to find any modern equivalent. When my computer mouse died, I wanted to see if a clear one existed and behold, it does! I don’t actually know if it’s best for serious gamers, but it’s been great for working and basic, everyday computer tasks. It can be used wirelessly or wired, and I opt for the latter so I don’t need to think about battery life. And it clicks silently! I like a clacky keyboard, but I don’t like a clacky mouse. This one feels satisfying to click without making noise. The RGB options aren’t out of this world, but I usually use it sans color all together. I love it. You have to be a Prime Member to get this deal.

When the Dyson Airstrait (9/10, WIRED Recommends) first came out I was skeptical—mainly because I’m still traumatized by all the wet-to-dry stylers from the early 2000’s that would sizzle hair off. But after giving it a chance, the Airstrait has become my go-to hair tool for over a year. It has the same form factor as a traditional flat iron, but instead of hot plates, it uses airflow to dry and straighten your hair at the same time. Using only one focused jet of air that moves downward, the hair tool dries your hair with a smooth, natural finish.

You’ll have the choice between two styling modes—wet and dry—and three temperature settings for each. I’ll usually use it on wet mode after washing my hair and switch to dry mode to flatten any residual puffiness. The best part is that it cuts time out of my hair routine. The entire process, using a hair dryer and standard flat iron, would normally take me about 45 minutes. But with the Airstrait, it only takes me 10 to 15 minutes, at most. It’s pricey but worth every penny.
