50% off $20

As part of its early Prime Day deals, and just after the debut of the sweet All-new 2024 Amazon Echo Spot smart speaker with display (it is seeing a massive price drop for Prime members right now too), we are now tracking the best price yet on the All-new Blink Mini 2 smart camera. This regular $40 smart camera debuted earlier this year just after we had a chance to give it a test run ahead of launch, but today’s deal at $19.95 shipped for Prime members is the very best yet. There has been some notable one-day offers at Best Buy that undercut the previous $30 low at Amazon, but nothing quite as low as the straight up 50% drop we are tracking ahead of Prime Day this year – it could drop lower next week, but it’s very hard to believe at a price like this.

$200

Today we are taking a hands-on look at the new JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds that were unveiled earlier this year. This time landing with a more AirPods Pro-like form-factor, the noise cancelling action also joins the brand’s latest iteration of its Smart Charging Case complete with an onboard touchscreen. The question is whether or not it’s just a gimmick, and if the sound experience can hold up to the $200 price tag. Head below for a closer look and some hands-on impressions.

Reg. $80 $45

Update: Amazon has issued and official press release for the brand new Echo Spot smart speaker with additional details. You’ll find them down below.

Amongst all of the now live early Prime Day deals on Amazon in-house tech, the retail giant has just delivered a new 2024 iteration of the Echo Spot seemingly out of nowhere. This smart speaker is essentially an updated version of the previous-generation Spot, taking on a more elevated form-factor similar to what we see on the entry-level Echo Pop. The new 2024 Amazon Echo Spot features all of the Alexa voice control prowess you would expect, but adds a customizable nightstand or desktop-ready display to the experience. The new speaker seems to have just went live on Amazon with a discounted launch deal marking it down from the $80 MSRP to just $44.99 shipped for Prime members as part of its early Prime Day offers – there’s no telling how long this deal might last.

C7 $360 off

We have been featuring the Flexispot office gear around here for years, including its ergonomic chairs and standing desks. They are a popular grab among Electronicsforward readers and staffers alike – Simon adores his new Flexispot chair – and I thought it was time to see what all the fuss was about. I had never used a Flexispot chair up until now, so when the opportunity popped up to score the brand’s flagship C7 model for review, I sat down on it immediately. And my back is very glad I did.

While we all await the release date for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta (and remain incensed after GameStop “played us like a damn fiddle”), Amazon is now offering deals on the official Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 to get you ready.

It’s no easy task to get caught up on the the timeline/story, but this collection can certainly help. It reaches way back to the 8-bit origins, delivering copies of Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear (NES/FC version), and Snake’s Revenge, alongside a host of add-ons and extras in the package.
