Amazon deal of the day: The Beats Solo 4 are still under $100 post-Amazon Prime Day
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days shopping event (aka October Prime Day) has come and gone. The deals, however, are still hanging around. It comes as no surprise, really. Amazon is notorious for making its shopping events month-long extravaganzas — unofficially, of course. If you missed out on the actual two-day Prime celebration, we've rounded up a few of the best deals you can still shop below.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Oct. 11.
Our top pick
The Beats Solo 4 have seen quite a few discounts since their release earlier this year, but none quite as big as the 50% price drop they got on Prime Day. The savings have stuck around following the shopping event, so you can still pick up a pair for their all-time low price of $99.99 at Amazon. The Solo 4s improve upon the previous generation with upgraded drivers, rebalanced acoustics, and an improved frequency response, which basically translates to more dynamic sound. They also have better battery life, clocking in at about 50 hours (10 extra hours compared to their predecessor). Their only downfall is that they lack noise-cancelling technology. Still, at under $100, we're willing to overlook it.
Another post-Prime Day deal still sticking around is this $50 discount on the Shark SpeedStyle. The Shark hair dryer offers four heat and three airflow settings, includes a handful of attachments for customization, is light as a feather, and regulates temperature 1,000 times per second. It's already made a name for itself as a potential dupe for the outrageously expensive Dyson Supersonic dryer. This particular model is designed for straight and wavy hair, meaning it includes the QuickSmooth Brush, RapidGloss Finisher, and Turbo Concentrator attachments. Grab it on sale for $149.99 and save 25%.
The newest iteration of our favorite portable Bluetooth speaker, the JBL Clip 5 is on sale for just $59.95 instead of $79.95. That's a 25% discount (its biggest ever) post-Prime Day, but make note that it only includes the purple model. Quite literally the definition of portable, the Clip 5 can "clip" to any bag, belt loop, or keyring with its built-in carabiner, which has been redesigned with a wider opening. Don't write it off because of its size, either. It boasts up to 12 hours of battery life, a "Playtime Boost" mode that gives you an extra 3 hours of listening, an IP67 waterproof and dust-proof rating, and impressively loud and crisp sound.
Read our full review of the Sonos Ray.
If your TV's sound system can't quite live up to its picture, it's time to add a soundbar. The Sonos Ray is our favorite starter soundbar and it's on sale at Amazon for its lowest price ever post-Prime Big Deal Days. Low-profile and budget friendly, the Ray "delivers on the bottom line requirement of any speaker: true, quality sound," according to Mashable reviewer Han Schneider. It may not have a ton of extra features (no Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI hookup, or smart home compatibility), but its ultra-low price tag certainly makes up for it. Regularly $279, it's just $169 as of Oct. 11.
Read our full review of the Amazon Fire 7 tablet.
Whether you're looking for a tablet for your teen or just something you can take on your travels, the Fire 7 tablet is a solid pick on sale for just under $50. That's 38% off and the lowest price on record for the 32GB version. It's also one of the only Amazon device deals still hanging around after Prime Day. The Fire 7 isn't going to blow you away or anything. As Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel put it, it's a "deeply average tablet." Still, it's hard to pass up at just $49.99.
