For the second year in a row, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is here. If you’re unfamiliar with the retailer’s weeklong spring sale, here’s what to know: you can get deals on beauty, vacuums and other essentials through March 31st, Amazon will be dropping new deals throughout the week, and you don’t have to be a Prime member to shop.
I’ve covered shopping events for years as a tech reporter for NBC Select. Spring isn’t generally the season for tech sales — you won’t find as big of discounts as on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That’s why I scoured through hundreds of deals to find the best discounts worth shopping on products like earbuds and streaming devices.

The best Amazon Big Spring Sale tech deals
Amazon Blink Mini 2
4.4-star average rating from 7,645 reviews on Amazon
This is a great option if you want to try out a smart home security camera, but don’t want to invest hundreds of dollars up front. You can see the video feed anytime from your phone using the Blink app, plus it has color night vision, two-way audio and a built-in spotlight. This new model is also IP65 dust and water-resistant.
Kasa Smart Plug (2-Pack)
4.6-star average rating from 74,782 reviews on Amazon
NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez uses these smart plugs at home to control her non-smart air purifier and sound machine — she sets the plugs to turn on at bedtime and shut off in the morning. They are compatible with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa smart home apps.
JBL Go 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
4.8-star average rating from 46,075 reviews on Amazon
This tiny portable Bluetooth speaker is smaller than a can of soda and weighs less than half a pound. It’s also IP67 dust and waterproof — meaning you can bring it to the beach or the pool-party without worrying. It has up to five hours of battery life.
Apple iPad (10th Generation)
4.8-star average rating from 26,609 reviews on Amazon
An iPad is one of my favorite ways to watch videos, Facetime family and enjoy TV anywhere in my home. Apple recently replaced this 10th generation model with the new (very similar) iPad (A16), hence the steep discount.
Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones
4.5-star average rating from 9,454 reviews on Amazon
These are our favorite over-ear headphones for travel — even on five hour plus flights, I never feel the need to take them off. Plane noise, air conditioners and office chatter fade to almost nothing once you turn on the strong automated noise cancelling. The headphones come with a hard carrying case and a wired cable for seat-back entertainment on flights.
Apple AirPods Pro 2
4.6-star average rating from 22,765 reviews on Amazon
These are some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy if you own an iPhone. Multiple NBC Select staffers use these for work, commuting, exercising, watching shows and everything in between. The earbuds have up to six hours of battery life — the charging case brings that number up to 30 hours.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
4.7-star average rating from 60,684 reviews on Amazon
A dedicated streaming device like this one is typically faster than your TV’s built-in apps, according to experts. You can plug this Amazon Fire TV Stick into almost any TV and use it to watch your favorite TV shows and movies over streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu and more.
Beats Studio Buds +
4.2-star average rating from 82,703 reviews on Amazon
These wireless earbuds have all the essentials you would expect from a good pair of wireless earbuds — active noise cancelling, transparency mode, a fast charging case, quick Bluetooth pairing, and syncing with Apple’s Find My app. The earbuds get up to 9 hours of battery life alone and up to 36 hours with the charging case.
Levoit Core 200S Air Purifier
4.7-star average rating from 30,584 reviews on Amazon
Levoit makes some of our favorite quiet air purifiers — this model is a good fit for small rooms up to 183 square feet, according to the brand. It has multiple speed settings, timers and a sleep mode, plus you can set up your own custom schedule using your phone and the Levoit VeSync app.
Samsung The Frame 55” TV
4.1-star average rating from 656 reviews on Amazon
The Frame TV displays art on its monitor when it’s off so you can easily pass it as wall art when you’re not watching your favorite shows. It has a matte finish that makes it less reflective than other TV brands, and comes in seven sizes — we’ve linked the 55-inch version above, but the 75-inch model is also steeply discounted.
Tile Sticker (2-Pack)
4.3-star average rating from 460 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
These Bluetooth trackers have a built-in speaker and an adhesive back so you can stick them onto anything you’re worried about misplacing. You connect to the tracker with the Tile app, which can show you the Tile’s last location and let you ring the tracker to help find it.
