Audio fans, look alive — Amazon's October Prime Day sale is here. From Oct. 7 through Oct. 8, you can score discounts on just about everything the retailer has to offer. This pre-Black Friday sale is known for offering up some historically low prices on goodies from tablets to laptops and everything in between, including headphones.

For day one of the event, Amazon has tons of deals on offer, with noise-cancelling headphones coming out especially strong. So far, we've spotted 12 earbuds and headphones deals under $100, as well as significant markdowns on options like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, and AirPods Max.

Below, find some of our picks for our favorite noise-cancelling headphone October Prime Day deals.

Bose may have just released the second generation of their QuietComfort Ultra headphones, but this October Prime Day, we have our eyes on the first generation thanks to their impressive $100 off deal. Though we've seen this markdown before, we still think it's worth checking out: most premium headphones these days are over $400, even on sale. While we don't have a full review on the second-gen QC Ultras just yet, Mashable's Bethany Allard wrote in her first impressions, "If you already own the first-gen Ultras, I feel pretty comfortable already saying that these aren't so different as to be a must-upgrade." In other words, you can grab our favorite noise-cancelling headphones for years running, and get excellent ANC, all-day comfort, and some of the best sound quality available for $329.

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones.

While these aren't the newest earbuds on the market (they came out in 2021), at $35, they do offer some of the best bang for your buck on noise-cancelling earbuds. If you can put up with a middling battery life and overly sensitive touch panels, the Echo Buds with ANC are "a steal for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the world of ANC without setting their wallet on fire," as Mashable's Alex Perry wrote in his review. This deal is exclusive to Prime members.

The Anker Solix C1000 portable power station is at a record-low price for Prime Day

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 19:37

SAVE $420: As of Oct. 7, The Anker Solix C1000 portable power bank is deeply discounted on Amazon as part of its Prime Big Deal Days promotion. At just $379.99, it's discounted by more than 50% from its $799.99 sticker price. As far as we can tell, it's never been cheaper than this.

$799 Save $420 Get Deal

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days promotion for October has given us plenty of enticing deals to chew on, but outdoorsy types will want to check out the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station for just $379.99.

As of Oct. 7, the first day of the promotion, Prime members can get this portable powerhouse for more than 50% off its $799.99 list price. It's a do-it-all power bank with six three-pronged power outlets, two USB-C ports, two USB Type-A ports, and a car socket for all of your charging needs. It also optionally works with solar panels, so on camping trips, you can sorta get unlimited power out of it. Seriously, it's a great option for keeping all of your devices full and happy when traditional power sources aren't available.

Our reviewer, Lauren Allain, loved the Solix C1000 because of everything listed above, but also because of its true portability.

"It’s obvious Anker designed the Solix C1000 to be camping-friendly. It weighs less than 30 pounds, so it’s pretty easy to carry around, especially since it has ergonomic handles on both sides," Allain wrote. "When testing, I had no problems carrying it around aside from going down an especially steep staircase, which led me to angle sideways so I could keep the stairs in view. Otherwise, this thing is a dream to carry around the campground."

Whether you're going to the campground or you're experiencing a power outage, the Solix C1000 should have your back.

We handpicked some of the best October Prime Day Lego deals

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days (Oct. 7-8) are here! It's the unofficial starting gun for the holiday shopping season, and that means it's time to talk about one of the most bulletproof gifts you can buy: Lego. Whether you're shopping for a kid who wants a cool Star Wars ship or an adult who'd love a botanical set for their desk, there's a good chance a Lego kit is on someone's list.

SEE ALSO: October Prime Day 2025: Live updates on the top deals

But before you start adding every discounted set to your cart, here's a pro tip for shopping on Amazon: a "deal" isn't always a deal. Some Lego sets have a sale price that's actually been the standard price for weeks or even months. A true Prime Day deal is a price drop that's new and noteworthy.

We've done that homework for you. This list has been vetted against price histories to filter out the fake sales. The deals below represent actual, limited-time discounts on some of our favorite Lego sets.

Lego Advent calendars are a holiday classic, and Prime Day is the perfect time to grab one before the December rush. This Star Wars-themed calendar is at its lowest price ever, making it a great time to buy.

Behind the 24 doors, you'll find a bunch of characters and mini-builds perfect for any fan of the franchise, including C-3PO, a Holiday Jawa minifigure, a Babu Frik figure, alongside five Lego droid figures: R7-A7, BD-72, a Scrap Battle Droid, BB-8 dressed as a snowman, and a Super Battle Droid.

Im a pro vacuum tester, and my entire list of the best robot vacuums are on sale for October Prime Day

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 19:27

There's not much of a reason to wait until Black Friday to buy a robot vacuum — not when Amazon treats its October Prime Day sale like Black Friday when it comes to vacuum deals.

In fact, compared to the Prime Day that just happened in July, I'm already seeing repeats of those same good deals on the first day of Prime Big Deal Days. Many of the discounts are actually steeper this time around, as I've grown to expect with each passing Prime event. Those include a handful of the 2025 Roombas that impressed me during testing and the Eufy robot vacuum that converts to a stick vacuum — a criminally underrated vacuum that more people need to know exists. There's even a substantial discount on the flagship of all flagship robot vacuums that Dreame just announced in August.

A look at the best robot vacuum deals during Prime Big Deal Days Editor's pick eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 Stick and Handheld Vacuum Combo $299.99 (save $350) Get Deal Budget pick iRobot Roomba 104 Combo $249.99 (save $200) Get Deal Best mop washing station deal Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller bundle $1,295.99 (save $323.99) Get Deal Best vacuum-only robot vacuum deal Shark AV2501S AI Ultra $229.99 (save $320) Get Deal

So far, every single one of the best robot vacuums I've tested is on sale. October Prime Day doesn't end until Oct. 8, and some of these deals may stick around for a day or two afterward. Take a second to read up on what to look for in a robot vacuum, assess the features that are non-negotiables in your home, and make your move.

SEE ALSO: Roborock Saros Z70 review: If you think you need the robot vacuum with an arm, no you don't

Regardless of your budget, there's definitely a robot vacuum on sale for you this October Prime Day. I'm tracking all of the best robot vacuum deals at Amazon below, noting when they self-empty, mop, or wash and dry their own mopping pads. All robot vacuums in the list have smart mapping. Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Prime Day Roomba deals have been a bust in years past, but that all changed when iRobot overhauled the Roomba lineup in March 2025. iRobot specifically spent extra time on the budget-friendly and mid-tier options with this product drop, and it's easily the most practical pricing I've ever seen from this brand.

One of the new Roombas released was the Roomba 104 Combo: a straightforward mopping, smart mapping, self-emptying Roomba that's an affordable choice for shoppers who want to cover those three crucial features, but don't want anything fancy. I tested the virtually-identical Roomba 105 Combo a few months ago and was satisfied for the price — it was a radically better experience than what I've had with cheap Roombas in the past. It even automatically recognizes carpet and rugs to keep them dry while it's mopping.

$1,619.98 Save $323.99 Get Deal Why we like it

Oh, nothing. It's just the most powerful robot vacuum we've ever seen on sale during any Amazon sale event. No biggie. Meet the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller: one of the flagship Dreame models that was just released in August, now 20% off for Prime Big Deal Days. I'm setting up my test unit of this model as we speak, on the first day of October Prime Day, so I haven't fully tested it yet — but on paper, it's quite the beast.

The Aqua10 Ultra Roller has a jaw-dropping 30,000 Pa of suction power — a market high for any mainstream robot vacuum. That's also significantly more powerful than the 20,000 Pa of the Roborock Saros 10R (my favorite robot vacuum of the year). Interestingly enough, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller's current sale price is the exact same that we saw for the Saros 10R during Prime Day in July. Past its strong suction being great for pet hair, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller also has a two-way livestream camera that I think any pet parent should prioritize.

If you're wondering, the "Roller" part of the title is referring to the paint roller-style roller mop, which rinses itself as it's mopping, not just when it returns to the dock. This is one of a handful of late-2025 robot vacuum and mop combos to ditch the dual spinning pads typically seen in older premium robot vacuums. They're said to offer a bit more heavy-duty scrubbing, and avoid smearing better than spinning and flat pads.

Are you 18 to 24? You can get 6 months of Amazon Prime for 0 dollars.

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 19:13

SAVE 75%: As of October 7, people aged 18 to 24 can sign up for a six-month no-cost Prime for Young Adults trial. After the trial ends, the membership is $7.49 a month compared to Prime's typical S14.99 cost.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Prime For Young Adults 6-month no-cost trial Get Deal

This Prime Day has come out of the gate swinging with some excellent deals. Among them is the opportunity to sign up for a no-cost six-month trial for Prime for Young Adults.

This Prime for Young Adults deal includes the usual core Prime benefits like same-day, one-day shipping, and full access to Prime Video streaming.

Prime for Young Adults is admittedly kind of a mouthful, and it’s the new(er) name for Prime Student. Prime Student still exists, though. Basically, people between the ages of 18 and 24 or students (of any age with a university email) can sign up for Prime for Young Adults and enjoy a six-month no-cost trial and then a monthly membership cost of $7.49. A regular Prime membership’s monthly price is $14.99. This particular version of Prime membership seems to cover the population of people who might want to enjoy the benefits of Prime Student, but might not be in school.

The monthly membership fee for Prime Young Adult is 50% off the regular Prime monthly cost. With the six-month no-cost trial, though, the price for a year of Prime (for Young Adults) ends up being 75% off. The unique benefits of Prime for Young Adults include 5% cash back on popular young adult categories like beauty, apparel, electronics, and dorm or school supplies, zero delivery fees on GrubHub+ orders, and more.

Amazon is practically giving away Beats Pill speakers: Grab em for $50

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 18:41

SAVE $100: As of Oct. 7, day one of Prime Big Deal Days, the Beats Pill x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth speaker is on sale for just $49.99 at Amazon in the dark and light gray varieties. That's 67% off and its best price on record by a long shot.

$149.95 Save $99.96 Get Deal

While we've seen some pretty solid Bluetooth speaker discounts on day one of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale, none are as great as this Beats Pill deal. Seriously, we're kind of blown away.

As of Oct. 7, the Beats Pill is just $49.99 in the dark and light gray Kim Kardashian variants. This 67% discount blows the previous all-time low of $99.95 out of the water by a lot. Earlier today, the speaker was listed for $79.99, which was already a record-low price. Then we watched it magically drop another $30 right before our eyes. It's like Amazon is practically giving them away.

The speaker was updated in late 2024 with a longer battery life, a built-in power bank, elevated sound with lossless audio, and the crispest call quality we've heard. In order to enjoy lossless audio, you'll have to connect the speaker to a compatible device (e.g., laptop, MP3 player, smartphone, tablet) via USB-C, but it's a pretty awesome feature to have. It adds even more clarity and depth to your favorite playlists. The redesigned Pill earned itself a spot on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers, and Mashable's reviewer called it an "underrated gem."

Even at full price, we think the Beats Pill is a pretty great value. At less than $50, it's a total steal, sliding down into budget-friendly territory. Don't say Kim K. never gave you anything.

Robin Williams daughter hates your deepfakes — and Hollywoods AI obsession

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 18:33

Zelda Williams, daughter of late actor Robin Williams and director of the 2024 cult favorite Lisa Frankenstein, has a single plea for people interacting with her online: Stop using her grief to peddle AI slop.

Williams, who has been an outspoken opponent to generative AI over recent years, made an impassioned plea to fans and trolls alike, begging in an Oct. 6 Instagram post to cease sharing AI-generated recreations of her late father in attempts to make her (and the parasocially attached public) feel better. Williams' own former costars have recently said they'd love to recreate him using the technology, adding to ongoing AI resurrection projects.

SEE ALSO: Taylor Swift becomes the internet troll she loathes

"Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop," wrote Williams. "It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he'd want."

The director continued, saying she believed that the use of generative AI at large was a failure in itself, a falsely-advertised tool of the future that really just reproduces content and churns out "horrible TikTok slop," like Human Centipede.

Using generative AI to recreate the likeness of deceased people raises issues of consent, during and after life. In response to the still unresolved issue of pervasive deepfakes, OpenAI updated restrictions for its new AI video generator app Sora 2, banning deepfakes of public figures — but only if they're still alive. It's not just a product of celebrity obsession either, with generative AI now integrating itself into legacy products advertised to grieving families and deepfakes appearing in interviews and court testimonies.

Media giants (including Ziff Davis, the owner of Mashable) have led a legal charge against AI firms for violating copyright laws and intellectual property rights, while tech companies have argued for the protection of fair use. In March, a group of 400 celebrities signed an open letter pleading with the White House to push back against AI's encroachment. Entertainment industry unions have spent years fighting for protections against the technology, one of the catalyzing factors of the historic 2023 strike conducted by SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

SEE ALSO: What's an 'AI deadbot'? If you haven't seen one yet, you will soon.

Still, AI-enabled endeavors have escalated in recent months. An Amazon-backed AI firm announced it was trying to artificially recreate destroyed footage from director Orson Welles' 1942 project The Magnificent Ambersons. An AI-enhanced version of the Wizard of Oz, backed by Google, was projected inside of the Las Vegas Sphere, featuring extended scenes with digital backgrounds. Oscar-winning Titanic director James Cameron called generative AI the "most important" issue for current creatives, urging his peers to "master" and integrate the technology.

Hollywood is also now trying to sell the world on their next digital ingenue, a computer-generated actress that some online say looks awfully similar to some of the industry's current stars and the internet's faves. Her legal name (as in, that's what her IP is registered as) is Tilly Norwood, and she was created by Eline Van der Velden, founder of the AI production studio Particle6, and recently launched by AI talent studio Xicoia. At the time of the AI avatar's debut, Van der Velden claimed major studio agents were "circling" her artificial client, stoking outrage. "To those who have expressed anger over the creation of my AI character, Tilly Norwood, she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work — a piece of art," Van der Velden later argued.

Williams feels quite differently: "You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross," she wrote.

No matter the reason, if you're in the market for a Bluetooth speaker of any shape or size, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is a great time to score one for a sweet price.

The shopping event informally known as October Prime Day kicked off on Oct. 7, and Amazon has already dropped plenty of deals. Speaker discounts from brands like Bose, Beats, Anker Soundcore, Ultimate Ears, and Amazon itself are pretty impressive. Sony's heavy hitters are on sale, but not as impressive as we'd hoped. Meanwhile, Sonos speaker discounts are practically nonexistent.

We'll be tracking the best speaker deals throughout the Prime Big Deal Days event and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices.

The updated 2024 model features a 24-hour battery life, a built-in power bank, elevated sound with lossless audio, and crisp call quality. It's even earned itself a spot on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers and checks all the right boxes. Even at full price, it's a solid value. At less than $80, it's easily the best speaker deal we've seen this Prime Day.

The Apple Watch SE 3 is now just $239 — a record low for Prime members

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 18:10

SAVE $9.01: The Apple Watch SE 3 is priced at $239.99 on Amazon during its October Prime Day. That's a small discount on its usual $249 price tag.

It's not often you can get a discount on a new Apple product. But the Apple Watch SE 3 is priced at $239.99 on Amazon during its October Prime Day. That represents a small — but still meaningful — discount of $9.01.

The Apple Watch SE 3 launched in September and features an S10 chip, an always-on display, sleep scores, and much more. It's meant to be a more budget-friendly option for folks who might not want to commit to a heftier price tag.

"Apple Watch SE offers a great way for users to start their Apple Watch journey, delivering outstanding health, fitness, safety, and connectivity features at an incredible value," Stan Ng, Apple’s vice president of Apple Watch and Health Product Marketing, said in a press release at the time of its launch.

The Apple Watch Series 11, for instance, starts at $399, though it did earn great reviews from Mashable. If you're looking for another Apple Watch deal, the Series 10 is priced at $309 on Amazon for Prime Day, as well.

What is Prime Big Deal Days? Everything to know and deals available now

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 18:07

Prime Big Deal Days is finally here!

While Amazon's flagship Prime Day event falls in July, the company kicks off the holiday shopping season in October. Prime Big Deal Days, better known as October Prime Day, is Amazon's fall shopping event that brings millions of deals. It falls a month before Black Friday, and gives Prime members a head start on holiday shopping.

But just because it's not technically the flagship Prime Day doesn't mean the deals aren't good. In fact, some products are getting bigger discounts than we saw in July.

Mashable's shopping reporters have been covering Amazon's Prime Day since 2018, and October Prime Day is a little different. In July, Amazon extended its flagship members-only sale from two days to four, but its October event is just 48 hours.

If you've shopped Prime Day but are new to Prime Big Deal Days, here's everything you need to know about the sale event — plus all the deals you can shop right now.

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon's annual fall event that began in 2022. It's similar to Amazon's July Prime Day and is open to paid and trial members of Amazon's Prime subscription service.

The 2022 version was called "Prime Early Access Sale," and it was renamed to "Prime Big Deal Days" in 2023. The name has stuck, but colloquially, you'll often hear it referred to as October Prime Day.

Whenever Amazon launches a sale, the entire internet follows suit. Target has already announced its Circle Week will run at the same time, and we expect similar sales from Walmart, Best Buy, and The Home Depot.

When is Prime Big Deal Days 2025?

Prime Big Deal Days runs from Tuesday, Oct. 7 to Wednesday, Oct. 8, bringing deals from major brands like Lego and KitchenAid. Amazon's October Prime Day is only running for two days compared to July's four days.

Last year's Prime Big Deal Days fell at a similar time last year, spanning from Oct. 8-9.

What's on sale during Prime Big Deal Days?

Amazon has hyped up Prime Big Deal Days with lots of items on sale ahead of the big event. Now that the sale has kicked off at 3:01 a.m. ET, millions of deals have dropped.

Throughout the event, Amazon will be dropping Today's Big Deals at 12 a.m., 8 a.m., and 1 p.m. PT (3 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. ET) from major brands including Away and LG.

Amazon just did its first drop of Today's Big Deals at 11 a.m. ET, which includes major tech savings of over $400. Here are the highlights of Today's Big Deals first drop, plus all the deals across categories from entertainment to tech.

Can you shop on Prime Big Deal Days without being a Prime member?

You have to be a Prime member in order to shop any of Amazon's Prime Day events, including Prime Big Deal Days. But if you don't want to commit to a monthly or annual paid subscription, you can still participate by scheduling a free 30-day trial of Prime around the sale.

Is Prime Big Deal Days a scam?

We've been seeing this question pop up a lot lately, and it surprised us. No, Prime Big Deal Days is not a scam.

While some of Amazon's sales (cough, Big Spring Sale, cough) have been a bit lackluster in recent years, but Amazon's October Prime Day is a legitimate opportunity to save. This event promises to bring major savings on big-name brands like Bose, Beats, Lego, and more. For book-lovers, there will be bestselling titles up to 65% off.

And because we're professional deal hunters, we don't just take Amazon's word for it. We cover deals all year long and use price trackers to check the historical pricing for popular products, and we only include deals in our shopping guides when they represent a genuine price drop. Yes, Amazon does try to pass off "deals" that don't really deserve the name occasionally. However, Prime Day really does include thousands of new and exciting (at least, to us) price drops. In particular, we're seeing incredible savings on wireless earbuds and cheap TVs this year, as just two examples.

Does Prime Day only happen once a year?

Just like how Prime Day is no longer one day, it also happens more than once a year. Amazon's flagship Prime Day takes place in early July, and in 202,5 it spans four days.

And for the past three years, Amazon has hosted Prime Big Deal Days, an October event serving as a precursor to its Black Friday festivities. However, the summer iteration of Prime Day is still Amazon's marquee sale.

Major clue signals MacBook Pro and iPad Pro devices arriving soon

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:55

If you're currently looking to order a new iPad Pro or base model MacBook Pro from the Apple Store, you might be waiting a while longer than you expected.

As Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman noticed on Monday evening, Apple customers thinking about purchasing an iPad Pro M4 or a base model 14-inch MacBook Pro are being told there are longer than usual shipping estimates. Gurman reported an October 21 to 28 timeline for shipping of either device.

Shipping delays with Apple are usually attributed to inventory. It seems Apple just doesn't have these models in stock. Low inventory could be simply because Apple has sold out of these items. However, there are some other factors here that suggest there's more to it. Other models of these devices are not experiencing the same shipping delays. In addition, the low inventory models just happen to be devices that have been rumored to receive a refresh.

The shipping delays are actually a pretty good clue that inventory is low for these devices because Apple is preparing to roll out new models.

"A good as any sign for an imminent iPad Pro M5 debut," Gurman said in a post on X. "Entry (non Pro/Max chip) 14-inch MacBook Pros as well."

SEE ALSO: Every Apple product announcement we still expect in 2025 and beyond — AirTags, Macs, and HomePod

As Mashable previously covered, an iPad Pro M5 and MacBook Pro M5 have reportedly been slotted for a release before the end of the year. In fact, there are a few smaller releases expected before 2026 that Apple could drop with new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro announcements too, like the AirTags 2, HomePod mini 2, and a new Apple TV 4K.

Apple has previously put on smaller product announcement events in October, so we may very well find out before the month is over.

While Black Friday is just around the corner, Amazon likes to kick off the seasonal savings a little earlier with the Prime Big Deals Day. It's a chance to grab bargains from a whole range of products, whether you're in the market for big ticket electronics, headphones, smart devices, home appliances, or anything else. You can pretty much guarantee that Amazon has a discount on something you need.

One deal that's caught out eye — and (more to the point) has set our tastebuds tingling — is a hefty $100 discount on the Ninja Cafe Luxe Espresso Machine, part of the brand's Premier Series of pro barista quality coffee makers.

As of Oct. 7, the Ninja Cafe Luxe Espresso Machine is on sale for $499.99, discounted from its regular list price of $599.99 on Amazon. That's a 17% saving.

While you probably know Ninja as an air fryer brand, this manufacturer excels at any device it produces — these are the same tech experts behind Shark vacuums, after all — and this espresso machine is no exception.

It's a 3-in-1 model, delivering espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew. It make variations of each of these coffee styles — two types of espresso, three types of drip coffee, and two cold brews — and boasts barista style features for customizing the temperature, pressure, grind, and (most importantly) the overall flavour. It comes with an integrated grinder plus a multi-functional milk frother with a steam wand.

Coffee lovers know that good coffee is more than a hot beverage, it's a lifestyle choice — and this machine will keep you caffeine-charged whatever your tastes.

Don't miss the Ninja Cafe Luxe Espresso Machine in the Prime Big Deals Day — now just $499.99.

Amazon just dropped a lightning deal on the Bose QuietComfort Ultras — bringing them under $300 for the first time

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:32

SAVE $145: During Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon just dropped a lightning deal on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, bringing them down to $284. This is the first time the QuietComfort Ultras have dipped under $300, giving you $145 in savings and 34% off.

Opens in a new window Credit: Bose Bose QuietComfort Ultra $284 at amazon
$429 Save $145 Get Deal

Amazon is not playing around with deals during its October Prime Day event. We've been thoroughly impressed by the hundreds of deals that we woke to this morning. Kindles, Apple Watches, and so much more have reached their lowest prices ever. Throughout Prime Big Deal Days, which runs from Oct. 7 to 8, Amazon is dropping Today's Big Deals at 3:01 a.m. EST, 11:01 a.m. EST, and 4:01 p.m. EST. These are lightning deals that are only available for a limited time, and their latest brings some major savings.

As of Oct. 7, you can now get the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for $284. That saves you $145 off its $429 list price. Not to mention, this is the lowest price ever on the headphones and the first time they've dropped below $300. There is a small catch — this price is only available on the Ultras in the color Deep Plum. But honestly, I'm not complaining. The Deep Plum color rocks.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultras are the most comfortable headphones I've ever tested. Having worn them for a full eight-hour workday, they didn't cause any ear fatigue even when I wore them with glasses and earrings. And to carry me through the workday, they also have an impressive battery life, providing 24 hours of playback. The Bose headphones on sale are the first-generation Ultra models. Since the 2nd-gen model just came out, we're not surprised they're not getting a discount quite yet.

If you're really not vibing with the Deep Plum color, the good news is the rest of the colors are on sale too; they're just priced a bit higher. At $329, though, the rest of the Bose QuietComfort Ultras are still a good deal. In fact, before the Deep Plum colorway dropped down to $284, the $329 was the best price we'd ever seen.

This is a limited-time deal that certainly won't last. Grab the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones in Deep Plum for just $284 now.

The best gaming chair for dedicated players

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:30

We all know the reputation of gaming among the fuddy-duddies (i.e. the non-gamers) — they think it's for couch potatoes only — but it can get physical when you're in the thick of a heavy session at your PC. Manoeuvring your mouse, anticipating enemies, and focusing for hours on end, gamers are always in fight-or-flight mode. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it in comfort, or without the right support. Whether you play for leisure or stream full-time, a gaming chair is as essential as the PC.

But it's not a case of one size doesn’t fit all. There are ergonomic-style chairs and chairs with additional cozy fixings, such as foot rests and extra lumbar supports. Whatever level of comfort and support you need, it can be hard to find the best gaming chair for your needs. Trust us: This is where we can help.

We understand all too well how important it is to have good posture when you're putting in a shift at the console or PC — bad posture can cause all kinds of longterm problems. So we’ve done some research into the best gaming chairs for all you dedicated gamers. Here's some helpful information to get you started.

Do you need a gaming chair?

You've probably invested heavily in your gaming setup, so it makes absolutely no sense to be uncomfortable when you're playing. It doesn't matter how stylish and powerful your PC is if your squatting awkwardly on the edge of a regular desk chair. Comfort is key, so a proper gaming chair is a vital purchase.

The other reason to consider investing in a gaming chair is performance. No, a gaming chair isn't going to make you immediately unbeatable, but it can be a deciding factor. Gaming success can often come down to tiny margins, so a gaming chair that is comfortable, ergonomic, and fully supportive will put you in good stead — it could be the difference between winning and losing over long periods.

What makes a good gaming chair?

Before you drop major cash on a gaming chair, there are a few things to consider.

  • Comfort — This might seem obvious, but having a comfy seat is important. You want to have good posture and be comfortable during your gaming sessions, especially if you’re participating in an online tournament. A gaming chair should provide support without discomfort.

  • Features — Some gaming chairs come with cool features, including plush neck rests, sections to place your feet, and cup holders for beverages. Consider what a model can do for your digital entertainment needs before making a purchasing decision. 

  • Height and weight — Factor your height and weight when looking for a gaming chair. You don’t want a chair that’s too big or too small for your body proportions. Some chairs even come in alternative sizes, so you can game hard without worrying about breakage or wear-and-tear. 

  • Purpose — How will you use your gaming chair? If you’re only buying a chair for gaming and streaming, look for a chair that offers head, neck, and back support. On the other hand, if a gaming chair will serve as a desk chair, a kitchen seat, and a napping spot, you should opt for a model that’s more recliner-like. 

What is the best gaming chair?

Whether you’re a button masher, professional streamer, or a Street Fighter at the weekends, there's a gaming chair out there that can improve your experience. We have looked at everything available to line up a selection of your best options.

These are the best gaming chairs for 2025.

Prime Day steal alert: Beats Studio Buds are just $79.95 and selling fast

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:20

Save $70: As of October 7, Beats Studio Buds are almost 50% off, coming in at $79.95 down from their list price of $149.95. They've also been going in and out of stock in select colors, which means they're moving fast.

$149.95 Save $70.00 Get Deal

It’s so annoying when you go to charge your favorite headphones and after many trusty years, they finally bite the dust. Or maybe you get on the bus and flip open your earbud or AirPod container to see that the dreaded fate has found you, one of your buds is missing. Well, however you got here, if you’ve been wanting to replace or invest in a pair of earbuds-- you’re in luck. 

For a stellar Prime Day deal, Beats Studio Buds are on sale for almost half off. Technically, they’re 47% off, but tomato tom-ah-to.  While they're currently priced at $79.95, we've seen them drop as low as $69.96 this morning, and at these prices, they're selling fast. We recommend adding them to your cart while you still can.

These earbuds have industry-leading Bluetooth that allows you to get somewhat farther away from the device you’re connected to without disconnection than usual. Enjoy up to 8 hours of listening time on one charge or up to 24 hours with the portable charging case. The buds come with three soft ear tip sizes to ensure a comfortable fit and effective acoustic seal within the ear canal. 

Beats claims that the buds are sweat and water-resistant as well. The built-in microphones are designed for quality phone call sound and voice assistant communication. The Beats Studio Buds also come in black, white, or red. 

 I personally love slipping in a quality pair of noise-cancelling earbuds on a walk and disappearing into my favorite book. These are perfect for exercise that isn’t too rigorous, as there isn’t a complete guarantee they won’t fall out during intense running.

Im a Kindle expert, and these are the best Amazon Prime Day deals for Kindle users

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:19

I spend a lot of time reading. It's how I like to wind down in the evenings, but I also spend a lot of time thinking about reading in the context of Kindles. As an expert on e-readers, I use the devices near daily, and am always seeking out the best ways to maximize their use. That means finding all the best ways to read for free or just creating the most luxurious reading set-up.

With Amazon's October Prime Day now underway, my sights are set on deals for Kindle users. Amazon tends to be pretty fickle with its deals on Kindle devices — we don't usually see a ton of markdowns on the e-readers themselves — but this year I'm shocked at how good they are.

So whether you're new to Kindle or a longtime user, here are all of the best deals on products and services for Kindle users during Prime Big Deal Days.

Kindle Unlimited Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Unlimited $0 at Amazon
$35.97 Save $35.97 Try Kindle Unlimited for free for three months. Get Deal

Kindle Unlimited is one of the best ways to maximize your Kindle use. If you're running out of holds and loans on Libby, then for $11.99 a month, you can access Kindle Unlimited and borrow up to 20 books at a time. The library is massive and features bestsellers and BookTok sensations.

During Prime Day, Amazon is offering three months free, saving you $35.97. The best part is, this deal is available to new users and those who have already used their free trial. I'd already used up my free trial, but I was able to snag the trial again and am planning on using it to read Regretting You by Colleen Hoover and The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden before their upcoming movie adaptations.

If you want to do some book shopping during Prime Day, now's a great time. You can find bestsellers for as low as $2, so you can grab several books for the price of one standard e-book. Not to mention, during Prime Day, you'll earn triple Kindle Rewards on every purchase.

I'd go for classics like Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible or the newly released Matriarch by Tina Knowles.

I'm constantly inspired by the creativity of my fellow Kindle users, decorating their e-readers extensively. A clear case seems to be the best blanket canvas for decorations, and luckily, there are a ton on sale. If you're like me and want a case that's already got some style, the MoKo case is a great candidate.

As the colder months creep in, and you spend more time indoors under a pile of blankets, a gooseneck stand is going to maximize your winter reading nook. Since testing the Magipea gooseneck stand for a guide to the best Kindle accessories, it's become an essential part of my reading routine. I clip the gooseneck stand onto the coffee table or nightstand, and using my page turner, I'm cozy as can be while reading my Kindle.

Right now, the Magipea gooseneck stand is on sale for Prime Day, but it's not the only option.

If you're getting a stand for a Kindle, you also need a remote page turner to go with it. That way, you can keep your hands bundled up under blankets in the chilly evenings. I use the Datafy page turner, which is on sale, but you can't really go wrong with any option.

Google’s Nano Banana might expand across your phone soon

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:11

We all might be getting a lot more familiar with Google's Nano Banana.

Nano Banana, Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, is an AI image generation and editing tool that lets users enter a text prompt to create images, but it's really known for its ability to edit images. And, now, according to a report from Android Authority, Google might be expanding access to the tool.

SEE ALSO: Here’s how to try Google’s hot new Nano Banana image generator

Android Authority reported that Google is looking into integrating Nano Banana into its apps and services, including Google Lens and Circle to Search. Fans — at least, the fans posting on Reddit — love Nano Banana, saying it's "so incredibly useful" and "extremely good," so the expansion would likely fall upon welcome ears.

Android Authority worked with a version of the Google Android app (16.40.18.sa.arm64) and found that Google is working on something that could potentially add the Live option back into Google Lens and, of course add the Nano Banana Create option to Search and Translate. This integration, Android Authority reports, is further along than the other noted Circle to Search integration Google is allegedly working on.

Circle to Search is an Android feature allows users to circle, doodle, or scribble on something in a photo or video still and Google will search for it in that same window. Android Authority reports that the feature appears to be in the works, but its implementation is definitely in its infancy. The news outlet said that while the app surfaces a Create option, it is "not yet responsive to input in a way that does anything."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

While Google hasn't said anything to confirm the move, Rajan Patel, the Vice President of engineering for search at Google and the co-founder of Lens, quoted Android Authority's story on X and added: "keep your 👀 peeled 🍌"

UPDATE: Oct. 7, 2025, 12:07 p.m. EDT This story has been updated to include Rajan Patel's post on X.

How did Taylor Swifts Life of a Showgirl film do at the box office?

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:09

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album The Life of a Showgirl has dominated the cultural conversation since its Oct. 3 release date.

The Life of a Showgirl became the most-streamed album in a single day on Spotify in 2025, while lead single "The Fate of Ophelia" became the most-streamed song in a single day in Spotify history. Despite the album's record-breaking performance, The Life of a Showgirl also garnered criticism for lack of self-awareness, alleged use of AI in its promotion, and even whether Swift should be labeling herself a "showgirl" at all.

SEE ALSO: Taylor Swift becomes the internet troll she loathes

In addition to all this chatter — not to mention a full on late night media blitz — Swift also released a film to commemorate the album's release, titled Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.

Only in theaters from Oct. 3 to Oct. 5, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl wasn't a traditional music film in the vein of Swift's concert movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Instead, it played lyric videos of The Life of a Showgirl's songs, interspersed with Swift giving insights into each song. The centerpiece of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl was the premiere of the music video for "The Fate of Ophelia," along with behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the music video.

Even with a short release window and no Thursday night screenings, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl crushed it at the box office. According to a press release from Business Wire, The Official Release Party of a Showgirl raked in $34 million domestically and $16 million internationally, making for a global debut of over $50 million. As staggering as that number is, it's still less than half of the $123.5 million global opening of The Eras Tour. But to put it in perspective, that was a full concert film for the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, whereas The Official Release Party of a Showgirl was mostly lyric videos.

With both of these projects, Swift has proven that her music is a major box office draw. (Her acting is another matter, as she's recently starred in box office flops Cats and Amsterdam.) Next up, Swift is set to make her feature directorial debut with a film for Searchlight Pictures. While there are no further details about the plot of the film or when it can be released, could Swift continue her streak of box office victories in the near future?

Ninja, Keurig, and more Prime Big Deal Days kitchen items you can shop now

Best Prime Day kitchen deals Best small appliance deal Ninja Crispi $159.94 (save $20.05) Get Deal Best kitchen tool deal Le Creuset 5.5-quart Dutch oven $311.69 (save $123.36) Get Deal Best coffee maker deal Keurig K-Mini Single Serve $47.49 (save $52.50) Get Deal

Amazon’s gifting us with its second Prime Day event of the year, officially dubbed “Prime Big Deal Days,” and true to form, we’re seeing tons of deals across just about every category, including some hefty price cuts on kitchen essentials from top brands like Ninja, Le Creuset, and Keurig.

SEE ALSO: In true air fryer fashion, early October Prime Day deals on air fryers have heated up quickly

We did some early deal hunting, but now that the sale is live, the savings on kitchen appliances and gear has exploded. We've spotted hundreds of dollars in savings on top brands including Breville, Keurig, and Our Place.

Prime Big Deal Days runs until Oct. 8, but these deals are still nothing to sneeze at, as they could disappear depending on stock availability.

Here are the best Prime Big Deal Days savings on kitchenwares.

Best small appliance deal Ninja Crispi $159.94 at Amazon
$179.99 Save $20.05 Get Deal Why we like it

The Ninja Crispi is finally on sale. We’ve been watching the price of this little air fryer since its release last September, and Amazon’s been stingy with discounts. But right now, you can get it for $159.94, the lowest price we’ve tracked so far.

The Ninja Crispi is one of Mashable’s favorite small kitchen appliances. Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino says its compact size makes it ideal for on-the-go meals or prepping smaller portions for the week. “Plus, it actually works,” she writes as it delivers crispy on the outside, moist on the inside meals.

Best kitchen tool deal Le Creuset 5.5-quart Dutch oven $351.67 at Amazon
$434.95 Save $83.28 Get Deal Why we like it

Soup season is basically here (it’s October, so I feel comfortable making that statement), and what better way to embrace it than with a discounted Le Creuset Dutch oven? Right now, you can get the iconic Le Creuset 5.5-quart Dutch oven for $318.24. (Note: the price does change depending on the color you choose.) While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen (it was around $239 back in 2022), it is the lowest price it’s been in a while.

This particular model is ideal for slow-cooking stews, braising meats, or baking artisan breads, thanks to its tight-fitting lid and heat and moisture retention. It’s also dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is just as easy.

Best coffee maker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Keurig Keurig K-Mini Single Serve $47.49 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $52.50 Get Deal Why we like it

If you need a new single-serve coffee maker, but you’re not willing to shell out a ton of cash, the Keurig K-Mini Single Serve is a budget-friendly option that’ll get the job done without compromising on convenience or quality. Its compact design is perfect for smaller kitchens, dorm rooms, or office spaces, and it can brew six to 12-ounce servings in seconds with the touch of a button. And right now, you can get it for the super-low price of $64.98.

The Witcher Season 4 trailer throws Liam Hemsworth into the Geralt wig

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 17:00

Picking up with a recast Geralt of Rivia like nothing ever happened, The Witcher is back with a trailer for Season 4 promising more monsters, sword fights, and that silver wig doing a whole lot of work.

With Liam Hemsworth taking over for Henry Cavill as the titular witcher and swearing loudly to mark the moment in the trailer, the fourth series of Netflix's adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's books will concentrate on Ciri's (Freya Allan) journey to further harness her epic power in the face of war. Everyone's separated on the Continent, battles are brewing, and Geralt looks and sounds different.

Notably, from the looks of the trailer, our violet-favouring sorcerer Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) also has plenty of magical throwdowns ahead of her, and there's nothing I love more than Yennefer of Vengerberg sorting the wheat from the chaff with supernatural finesse. Let's go, Yen.

The Witcher Season 4 hits Netflix Oct. 30.
