Amazon deal of the day: Snag the AirPods Pro 2 for their lowest price ever a week before Black Friday
Amazon's official Black Friday deals are in full swing. The sale kicked off Thursday, Nov. 21 and runs through Cyber Monday on Dec. 2. If you've been hoping to snag some high-quality tech you've had your eye on or check off your holiday shopping list, now's the time to do it. On Friday, Nov. 22, we've highlighted a few standout deals we think you should check out, including top brands like Apple, Yeti, and Samsung.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If you missed out on our picks from Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, be sure to check those out as well. Most (if not all) of those are still live — including all-time lows on the Sonos Era 300 and Kindle Paperwhite.
Our top pick
In case it wasn't obvious from our multiple headphone buying guides, we're big fans of the AirPods Pro 2. They produce rich and well-balanced sound, offer excellent noise cancellation (some of the best in class for earbuds), work seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem, and offer decent enough battery life. We've seen these earbuds regularly drop to $199 and even $189 throughout the year, and $169 is even better.
Whether tailgating or camping this season, the Yeti Roadie is a stellar companion. It can fit 18 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio or 24 pounds of just ice, all in a slim and tall build (tall enough to fit a wine bottle) that can be stashed behind the driver's or passenger's seat of a car. Of course, like every other Yeti, it can also keep ice for days and is virtually indestructible. I own this exact cooler (albeit in a different color) and couldn't recommend it enough. My only complaint is that it's quite heavy to tote around when it's stuffed to capacity. Usually $250, it's on sale for $200 at Amazon in the bright orange shade. That's a rare 20% in savings.
Designed for 6- to 12-year-olds, the latest Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet packs a 25% faster processor over the previous generation, a bump in RAM, an increase in battery life (from 12 to 13 hours), and an upgraded front-facing camera (5MP versus 2MP). It still features the durable case and built-in kickstand, so it can stand up to all kinds of kid-friendly adventures. Plus, it comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which gives kids access to thousands of ad-free books, games, videos, apps, and more. It's regularly $189.99, but you can save 42% ahead of Black Friday and get it for only $109.99. That matches its all-time low price.
Essentially a lite version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, the FE boasts the same tough IP68 dust- and water-resistant rating, a slightly smaller battery capacity (8,000 vs 8,400 mAh), and the same included S Pen. It's tech specs aren't quite as impressive overall, but for the price, it's hard to complain. Where the S9 with 256GB would run you $619.99 on sale, the S9 FE is down to just $299.99 ahead of Black Friday. That's 42% in savings and its lowest price to date. If you want a larger screen and a slight boost in RAM, the FE+ is a solid in-between option and is on sale for $498.03.
