Amazon's annual Prime Day sale is back for the 12th year running, but this year, it's a few weeks early.

The sale, which usually takes place in mid-July, is back from June 23 to June 26. Though it's still a few weeks away, Prime Day-worthy deals are already rolling out, with a strong showing from premium and budget headphones brands alike.

Some early standouts at Amazon include the Bose QuietComfort Ultra line on sale (both earbuds and headphones), Sony's flagship earbuds and headphones, and two of our favorite open earbuds options. Soundcore also has a solid early selection, with the budget-friendly Space One headphones and dual-form open/ANC earbuds, the AeroFit 2 Pro, also on sale.

Below, you can find 16 of the best early headphones and earbuds deals. If nothing catches your eye just yet, check back — we'll be updating this list of deals leading up to, and through, Prime Day 2026.

In the face-off between the Sony XM5 vs XM6 headphones, most times I'd recommend the XM5s, especially if you don't care about folding ear cups. However, while both headphones are on sale at the moment, the XM6s are currently down at their lowest price ever, while the XM5s are sitting a good $35 away from their record low. If you're looking to buy sooner rather than later, the new headphones are the better bet — and you'll get the best blend of sound quality and noise cancelling available on the consumer market.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are some of the best I've tried, but even at their sale price, they're a hefty investment. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds don't quite match up in sound quality, they still have some of the best noise cancellation available, and are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. For roughly $50 less, they're the deal to beat leading up to Prime Day.

Best open earbuds deal Sony LinkBuds Clip $198 at Amazon
$229.99 Save $31.99   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Bose was the near-undisputed champion of open earbuds with top notch sound — that is, until the Sony LinkBuds Clip came along. In my head-to-head testing of the earbuds, I found that while the Bose buds can get louder (an important feature in open earbuds), the clarity and detail of the sound in the Sony buds surpassed that of the Bose. Even though the $70 price discrepancy is smaller with both buds on sale, the sub-$200 price point on the Sony earbuds is hard to pass up.

The question of what to gift dad for Father's Day is back again. Year after year, it never gets easier to find the perfect gift. Whether you're shopping for Dad, Grandpa, a stepdad, or the nice guy down the street, take note that Father's Day is June 21 this year.

We're not in the chaos of last-minute shopping yet, but snagging something this weekend means you'll likely have reassurance that your gift will arrive on time. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has a major selection of sales that'll work great for Father's Day. Below are some of our favorites to shop this weekend.

$99.99 Save $30   Get Deal Why we like it

Sitting at a solid 30% discount, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 will make for a great Father's Day gift. In Mashable's guide to the best Bluetooth speakers, the UE Wonderboom 4 earns the top spot as the best option under $100. Thanks to this early Prime Day deal, it's on a significant discount. Mashable's review explains, "This speaker's small (and rugged enough) to take along for a hike, while traveling, and for tossing next to the pool." Since it's waterproof, it's also a great option for using as a shower speaker.

Best portable power station deal Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Solix Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 $799.99 at Amazon
$1,499 Save $699.01   Get Deal Why we like it

Over the past few years, I've tested dozens of portable power stations, and the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the one I use the most. I'd rather overestimate my power needs than run short, which is why I head out with 2048Wh of battery capacity with the C2000 Gen 2. It's still portable enough to take for a weekend of camping without being too heavy to carry around. I also love the dual high-powered USB-C ports that can reach 140W. It's also quick to recharge, taking under one hour to go from totally dead to full power. Since I tend to decide last-minute to go camping (I'm a fair-weathered camper), the quick charging is super useful if I haven't planned in advance.

Dad is sure to find uses for the Solix C2000 Gen 2, from camping to yard work or for keeping the house powered up during the next storm. Shop today at Amazon and you'll be saving 47%.

Summer is all about cool treats. If your dad loves a bowl of ice cream for dessert every night, the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker is a perfect gift. On sale for only $66.99, dad will be able to make every flavor imageable without hassle thanks to the ease of the Cuisinart. It can make ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, and even frozen drinks. And while it would technically be a gift for dad, you know that you'll benefit, too.

Best water bottle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Owala Owala FreeSip (32 ounces, select colorways) $27.97 at Amazon
$34.99 Save $7.02   Get Deal Why we like it

For the dad who's always forgetting to drink water, gift him Mashable's favorite water bottle. The Owala FreeSip allows for both tipping the water bottle up to take a big glug or sipping through the built-in straw. In Mashable's review of the Owala FreeSip, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino said, "The FreeSip's insulation really is impeccable, offering 24 hours of cold. I've filled mine up with ice and water to come back a day later and still find the jingle of full ice cubes. Plus, the two-part locking lid can also double as a loop for easy carrying. Cleaning is also easy with the FreeSip."

The 32-ounce version of the FreeSip usually sells for $34.99, but Amazon has select colorways on sale for $27.97 or $27.99.

If the father figure in your life is a Star Wars fan and also enjoys building a Lego set, it's a win-win to snag the Lego Star Wars R2-D2. The build will look great on a bookshelf or on a desk, and the 25th anniversary edition features a Darth Malak minifigure.

If the dad in your life likes to head to the gym, takes the dog on walks, or goes for runs, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are perfect. They're Mashable's favorite earbuds for working out and they happen to be on sale for 20% off ahead of Father's Day. The noise-cancelling earbuds get up to 45 hours of listening time with the included charging case. Of course, they're sweat and water-resistant, and they come in a few fun colorway options.

Best robot lawn mower deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ecovacs Ecovacs Goat O1000 RTK Robot Lawn Mower $699 at Amazon
$999.99 Save $300.99   Get Deal Why we like it

If dad is in charge of mowing the lawn but doesn't love the chore, he might love upgrading to a robot lawn mower. None of these come cheap, so perhaps this can be a group gift, but the Ecovacs Goat 0100 robot lawn mower is on sale for $699. It can cover yards up to 0.25 acres and it also comes with automated mapping, similar to what we're used to with robot vacuums. Its narrow body of 2.3 feet is great for passing through small areas and you can select the ideal mowing height between 1.2 and 3.1 inches.

ChatGPT may soon be a do-it-all tool rather than its namesake chatbot. OpenAI is reportedly weeks away from rolling out a redesigned ChatGPT "super app" that would initially be available on the web and on mobile devices.

UPDATE: Jun. 8, 2026, 4:36 p.m. This article has been updated with a statement from Reddit.

Scammers are running sponsored ads on Reddit that impersonate major news outlets, including the BBC, the Financial Times, and The Guardian, to push fraudulent AI-powered investment schemes, according to new research from cybersecurity firm Bitdefender Labs.

The campaign, uncovered by Bitdefender researchers Andrea Olariu and Emanuel Puscasu, promotes fictitious AI platforms such as Wencoin STX, Warrior Coin AI, and Nevo Coin. The promoted posts redirect users to cloned news websites designed to closely mimic the appearance of legitimate publishers, where fabricated articles, invented testimonials, and fake profit screenshots are used to build false credibility.

This is hardly the first time this tactic has been deployed on Reddit, but there's an increased interest in AI investment opportunities as Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX (which recently merged with xAI) prepare for IPOs.

A Reddit spokesperson provided the following comment to Mashable:

"Maintaining the integrity of our platform is a top priority. Reddit’s Ad Policies prohibit advertisements that are deceptive, untrue, or misleading. Our Ad Review teams leverage human review and sophisticated automated tooling to help identify and reject this type of ad content from running on Reddit. In addition, we also encourage users to report ads they may find misleading through the “Report an Ad” function. We always strive to improve our tools and have brought on a third-party vendor to validate the authenticity of ads on Reddit, ensuring goods, services and claims made in ads are verifiable."

Some ads appeared in video form, with Bitdefender describing them as a deepfake BBC news segment featuring a fabricated anchor delivering invented financial headlines. Others incorporated footage of political figures and references to international summits to lend the content an air of geopolitical legitimacy.

The scam pages used classic high-pressure tactics, including countdown timers, claims of limited registration spots, and conspiracy-laden narratives suggesting banks and governments were suppressing access to the platforms. Users who submitted their contact details were told a "personal advisor" would follow up within 24 hours.

Bitdefender warned that the campaign bears strong structural similarities to a Meta-based investment fraud network the firm documented in March 2026, with threat actors recycling the same social engineering methods across platforms.

Microsoft is about to let users turn off one of the most annoying features on Windows 11.

Currently, whenever a PC user wants to perform a local search for files on their computer, Windows 11 also pulls up Bing-powered web search results. In fact, many times, users have reported that the search function prioritizes web results over local results.

The best example of this issue came from a viral post on X last year when a user looking to pull up the terminal in Windows 11 was instead provided with a web search result for the 2018 Margot Robbie film Terminal.

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

However, according to a new report by our colleagues at PCMag, Microsoft is about to provide users with the option to turn web search off in local search. (Disclosure: PCMag and Mashable are both owned by the same parent company, Ziff Davis.)

At a Windows Insiders Program meetup in San Francisco, right before Microsoft's big developer conference Build, the company provided a teaser showing that users will have the option to shut off web search in Windows 11's settings, under Privacy & Security > Search.

A toggle to turn off web searches will appear under the section called "Show suggested search results."

According to the report, Microsoft also seems poised to add an option where users can turn off Microsoft Store suggestions in Windows 11 search as well.

While Windows 11 users can technically turn off web results in search right now, it requires that they go into the Windows registry and manually make this change. This requires some technical know-how, as users will actually be going in and editing system files.

Soon, everyone will be able to turn off Bing web search on Windows 11 with the click of a toggle. Microsoft has not yet announced when this update will roll out.

June is here, and Apple fans know what that means: It's time for the annual Worldwide Developers Conference, better known as WWDC.

While most of the event is catered to developers, the opening keynote address is traditionally way more consumer-oriented than most of Apple's competitors' developer events. Apple usually saves its big software announcements for WWDC (and also announces some of its most powerful desktop computers, like the Mac Studio, during the event).

So, if you want to watch Tim Cook's final WWDC as Apple CEO — and the potential debut of iOS 27, an all-new Siri, and potentially some new Mac devices — here's how to watch the keynote live.

Watch Apple WWDC 2026 live

WWDC 2026 takes place from June 8 to June 12. The big keynote, however, opens up the show on Monday at 10 a.m. PT (or 1 p.m. ET).

SEE ALSO: Apple WWDC 2026 keynote event: Live updates on iOS 27 and Siri

Apple fans will be able to watch the keynote live at Apple.com, on Apple's YouTube channel, and the Apple TV app. You can also join Mashable at the CNET WWDC livestream watch party, where tech editors from Mashable, CNET, and PCMag will break down the biggest announcements after the event wraps.

This will be Tim Cook's final WWDC as CEO

Held in Cupertino, WWDC is shaping up to be even bigger than usual. Apple is expected to announce details of the next operating systems for its entire hardware lineup, which should include iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27.

Apple hasn't provided any information about what to expect. However, the long-awaited relaunch of Siri as a full-fledged AI assistant has been rumored to make its debut at this year's WWDC.

Also, beyond Apple's products, this is expected to be Apple CEO Tim Cook's very last keynote as head of the company. Apple's current Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering John Ternus will become Apple CEO just in time for its big iPhone event in September.

Last week might have been one of the most stacked lineups for new movies on the major streaming services. Four of our five movies premiered on their respective services for the first time, including an Earth, Wind & Fire documentary on HBO Max; Lorne on Peacock;and México 86 on Netflix.

In the world of homelabbing, 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) has become the aspirational standard. But there is a significant difference between an aspirational goal and a practical reason.

Gone are the days when people balk at you if you say you met your partner online. Dating apps have irrevocably changed the way we date — much as social media platforms have changed how we interact with each other. In fact, Mashable recently interviewed several married couples, all of whom met on dating apps, so it's absolutely possible to find your person.

According to 2023 findings from the Pew Research Center, one in ten partnered adults (married, living with a partner, or in a committed relationship) met their partner on a dating app or site. If you're a younger adult and/or LGBTQ, you're more likely to have met your significant other online: one in five adults under 30 and nearly one in four for LGBTQ adults.

The same study found that almost half (44 percent) of dating app users said a major reason for using them was to meet a long-term partner. So, if that's you, you're certainly not alone, despite what you might see people lament on TikTok. 

But with so many apps, from Bumble to eharmony, it can be challenging to determine which ones to invest in. And the discourse on dating app culture can be unrelenting. In 2025, singles told Mashable they'd rather meet a potential partner in person, but they're begrudgingly on the apps. Some, like Tinder, have seen their revenue decrease in recent years, while Hinge is growing. Even then, though, daters bemoan even the most popular of apps. A Kinsey scientist recently told Mashable where daters are going wrong: use dating apps as a tool, not to let them run the show — and stop self-optimizing, already.

Despite the frustration over The Apps™, it's undeniable that if you want to date from the comfort and safety of your home, they're the way to do it. If you're, say, introverted or have difficulty approaching someone in person, an app can still be useful.

What is the #1 best dating app?

Considering the variation in experiences on all the dating apps, it's difficult to quantify which ones are the "best." Some people find their spouses on Tinder, while others are disappointed that their matches are only looking for hookups. 

That being said, if you're looking for something serious, your best bet is likely an app with a large user base, options for you to indicate what you're looking for in your bio, and filters to weed out who you really want to partner with. There are also apps whose branding is geared towards finding one's ultimate match — like eharmony and Match, both decades-old sites with reputations for helping users find their spouse. Hinge, Bumble, and Coffee Meets Bagel also have a reputation for more "serious" connections.

Depending on the type of relationship you're seeking, you may also benefit from a more niche app. Take one app on our list, SilverSingles, for people over 50. Sure, there are older adults on apps like Tinder and Bumble as well, but you may have more luck finding someone age-appropriate if you're in a space meant just for you.

Which dating site is best for serious relationships?

Mashable has researched to pick out a few from the plethora of dating sites (and apps) out there. These options are available for both Android and Apple users, so the type of phone you have won't determine your options. In terms of monetary investment, you can use some of these for free (like Tinder and Bumble), while others are more pay-to-play. We've also included some "niche" options, like the aforementioned SilverSingles and Elite Singles, so you have more than the standard buffet of dating apps.

Here are the best dating apps for serious relationships:

TL;DR: Best Buy just emailed us the details for its upcoming Summer Tech Fest sale, which runs from June 22 to June 28. The week-long event will offer up to 50% off major tech alongside extra cash-back rewards for members.

Whenever Prime Day rolls around, competitor retailers scramble to build an even bigger and better "anti-Prime Day" sale of their own. Target just announced its Target Circle Deal Days, which conveniently start on June 23, and the Walmart Deals event kicks off on June 22. So, it's no surprise that Best Buy is jumping in with a sale of its own.

SEE ALSO: My Best Buy Plus memberships just got a permanent price drop down to $29.99

According to the details they shared with us, Best Buy’s week-long Summer Tech Fest is officially set for June 22 (a full day before Amazon's event) through June 28. The retailer's pitching this as one of its biggest shopping events of the summer, promising up to 50% off on laptops, TVs, gaming gear, headphones, and small appliances.

The best part? You don't need a paid membership just to shop the discounts. Unlike Amazon Prime Day, these deals are open to everyone online via BestBuy.com, through the Best Buy app, and in physical stores. There'll also be new rotating "Deal of the Day" flash offers dropping each morning of the sale.

Of course, members will get extra perks

With that said, if you do happen to have a paid My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total membership, the retailer is sweetening the pot with some extra incentives:

• Exclusive discounts: Members will get access to exclusive offers (e.g., better price cuts).

• A $25 reward bonus: If you drop $600 or more on a big upgrade during Tech Fest, you'll automatically earn an extra $25 in rewards.

• Cash back: New for this year's event, members will also earn 1% back in rewards on all eligible purchases throughout the week.

With Best Buy, Target, and Walmart all launching sales on the exact same week, late June is going to be tough on your wallet. But if you know where to shop and plan ahead, you can score some pretty good deals and save a few bucks.

TL;DR: Amazon is using its early Prime Day hub to showcase its new Alexa+ ecosystem, but all first-party Echo devices are currently listed at full retail price. Hold off on buying until June 23 or check out the live sales on Sonos and Bose gear instead.

It's only June 8, but Amazon is pushing its upcoming Prime Day sale hard (as it does every year, though it feels like the sale starts earlier and earlier each time). The company's using flashy blue banners to make it look like the event's already underway, but if you look at the actual price tags, you'll see all of the Echo devices are still listed at their original list price. (Some things on the site are on sale, just not these.)

SEE ALSO: Prime Day is right around the corner: Here are 20+ early deals to start shopping now

Instead of offering discounts, Amazon is using this early window to lure customers to the site and get some eyes on its new generative AI assistant, Alexa+. While access is included for free with Prime, non-subscribers will eventually have to cough up $19.99 a month for the standard plan.

To help you plan out your shopping cart ahead of time, here's a quick breakdown of what these full-price devices are going for right now versus how low we expect them to drop when the sale officially kicks off:

Smart displays to watch

• Amazon Echo Show 11: The Amazon Echo Show 11 is Amazon's newest Echo Show model, so we're not expecting a huge discount on this one, but it was listed for $169.99 on May 1, so if you're looking for a new smart display, there's still hope. Right now, it's still listed at its full $219.99 retail price.

• Amazon Echo Hub: Right now, the Amazon Echo Hub will run you $179.99. But, if you're patient, we expect it to drop $60 by the time the sale starts. It hit $119.99 during Amazon's October Prime Day sale last year, so $60 is our minimum discount expectation.

Smart speakers and bedside clocks

• Amazon Echo Dot Max: The Amazon Echo Dot Max is still sitting at its full retail price of $99.99, but like the Amazon Echo Show 11, it had a substantial price drop on May 1. We expect to see this device get down to $74.99 during the sale to match that previous all-time low.

• Amazon Echo Spot: The Amazon Echo Spot is full price at $79.99 right now, so we advise waiting. We've seen earlier iterations of this clock hit $44.99 during past savings events, which is a much fairer price for a bedside display.

• Amazon Echo Pop Kids: The cartoon-themed editions of the Amazon Echo Pop Kids are holding firm at $49.99 right now. These models usually drop to half off during actual site-wide sales, so hold out for the $24.99 mark.

What you can buy on sale today

If you just can't wait until June 23 to buy a smart speaker, there are a few Alexa-enabled devices on sale right now, including:

• Sonos Roam 2 — $134 $179 (save $45)

• Sonos Era 100 — $189 $219 (save $30)

• JBL Authentics 200 — $199.95 $379.95 (save $180)

• Bose Portable Smart Speaker — $299 $399 (save $100)

• Sonos Era 300 — $379 $479 (save $100)

The main takeaway here is to not let early promotional banners rush you into paying full retail price for an Echo speaker. Bookmark your favorites, build your cart, and wait for the real first-party price cuts to drop later this month.

In a world before ubiquitous high-speed cellular data, someone came up with the idea of sticking USB flash drives into walls as a way for passersby to privately exchange files. These days, there are all kinds of security concerns surrounding the idea of trusting random flash drives, and we've largely settled on using the cloud for exchanging files—but you can still recreate private file sharing without involving the cloud. All you need is the right open source app.

What would you do if you find out your best friend of 20 years was an international assassin?

That's the dilemma at the heart of Ride or Die, an upcoming action comedy series starring and executive produced by Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham. The Oscar winner and Emmy winner join forces as longtime besties Debbie Claybourne (Spencer) and Judith Burton (Waddingham).

After two decades of friendship, Debbie thinks she knows everything there is to know about Judith. But as it turns out, Judith has been living a double life. She's actually an international assassin who takes down bad guys for money. Now, though, a mysterious figure from her past has resurfaced, putting her in more danger than usual. And since Debbie is Judith's ride or die, that means she's in the crosshairs too.

The first trailer for Ride or Die teases what follows in this (literally) explosive tale of friends on the run. Waddingham gets to go full action hero mode, shooting enemies and kicking butt in hand-to-hand combat. While Debbie is newer to this world of international intrigue, she gets in on the action too. She takes the wheel during a serious car chase, takes down a man using a fire extinguisher, and even jumps off a moving train. Is there nothing these BFFs won't do for one another?

Ride or Die also stars Ed Skrein, Calam Lynch, Savannah Steyn, Jamie Parker, Jacky Ido, Sylvia Hoeks, and Bill Nighy.

All eight episodes of Ride or Die premiere July 15 on Prime Video.

Running AI locally sounds like it should be straightforward until you realize that the app making it feel easy is quietly eating the resources you actually need. I spent time with LM Studio before I started noticing that my hardware was working harder to keep the interface alive than to run the model itself. However, Llamma.cpp is much better and can even run on Raspberry Pi.

As we dive deeper into the most nostalgic season of the year, I can’t fight the urge to return to some of the best cult classic movies currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. They’re endlessly quotable, unconventional, and quirky; challenge mainstream storytelling; and carve out their own identity.

In some parts of the world, Japan being a popular example, the idea that a toilet should be a smart and sophisticated appliance is normal. In the rest of the world, “smart home” usually means cameras, lighting, and network-connected appliances, such as smart fridges or TVs.

If I had a penny for every person who simply set up their router and never thought about opening the settings again, I'd have a whole bunch of pennies. And that's just the people I know.

Smartwatches used to be all the rage. They were—and still are—devices that let you perform many of the same tasks you would typically do on your phone, but from your wrist.

Pixel devices aren’t generally known for having tons of options for people to play around with. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some goodies tucked away in the settings. Here are a few Pixel Watch features you should enable right now.

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for more than four decades. The 2021 model year brought the most significant redesign in a generation, with new exterior styling, a reworked interior, and a powertrain lineup that expanded to six options.
