Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's October Prime Day event, wrapped up this week. The doorbell and smart-speaker bargains are gone. But a chunk of the sale has quietly kept running, and some of it is worth a look before everything resets ahead of Black Friday in late November.
The Beats Solo 4 is one of the standouts. The headphones skip active noise cancelling but claim 50 hours of battery life and fold down small enough for a bag, and Tom's Guide says it has not seen them cheaper than they're listed now.
Sony's HT-S100F soundbar has dropped back to $99, its original launch price before Sony raised it to $159 last year. Tom's Guide gave the soundbar a 4-star review and calls the return to $99 one of the better value picks in the audio category right now.
Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are also in the mix, with 10 hours of battery life and what Tom's Guide's review calls superior active noise cancelling, though the earbuds still ship without a charging cable and need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence to unlock the Live Translate feature.
On the computing side, the new Mac mini M6 is discounted too. Apple says the base configuration, with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, is 4.8 times faster than the M4-based Mac mini it replaces, and it still packs three Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, HDMI and Ethernet into the same small case. MacBook Air deals, by contrast, have been thin since Apple raised that laptop's price by $200 this summer.
For smaller buys, Apple's second-generation AirTag is discounted with what Apple describes as better range, improved precision finding and a louder speaker than the original. Amazon also has its own lightning-bulb deal down to $9, part of a wider Amazon-device sale that has mostly ended elsewhere.
Outside electronics, Lego sets start at $9, with discounts across Star Wars, Marvel, Botanicals and Disney lines. Skechers shoes and apparel start at $24, and Yeti coolers, tumblers and water bottles are down 30%, with prices from $10. Smart TVs are listed from $69, a mix of 1080p sets and larger screens.
Amazon has also tweaked its membership terms. Prime for Young Adults, aimed at people aged 18 to 24, now offers a six-month free trial before billing kicks in at $7.49 a month or $69 a year, and Amazon says all Prime members now earn 5% cash back in select categories.
None of this is guaranteed to last. Tom's Guide, which tracked the leftover deals, says shoppers who miss this window are likely looking at Black Friday in late November for the next comparable discounts on this list.
