Amazon Prime Day is here and there are thousands of deals across every category at the online shopping mecca. Some of the best deals are on tech devices and accessories. So, whether you're looking at a big ticket purchase like a new TV or surround sound system, or you want to treat yourself to a new gadget for under $50, Amazon has something for you.
Here are ten of the best deals for cord cutters looking to build or upgrade their streaming setup.
Amazon's basic streaming device, the Amazon Fire TV Stick, has a deep discount of 55% for Prime Day. This version is 50% more powerful than the previous generation and comes with an Alexa Voice Remote so you can go hands-free while searching for your favorite TV shows and movies.
If you're looking for an alternative to Amazon's streaming devices, Roku offers user-friendly options, like the affordable Streaming Stick 4K, which is on sale for under $30. Like the Fire TV Stick, the Streaming Stick 4K comes with a voice remote and can watch in 4K.
The Roku Ultra is a major upgrade to the entry-level Streaming Stick. This device can be used with WiFi or connected directly with an Ethernet cable. Navigation is "lightning fast" and you can stream in 4K, Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The Roku Ultra comes with a voice remote and you can connect wired or wireless headphones for a private listening experience.
Sometimes, you just want to watch TV in peace, and you can do that with the right streaming device and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Bose is known for being the best of the best in sound equipment, and these headphones are no exception. They have plush earcup cushions to keep you comfortable and offer two listening modes - Quiet and Aware - so you can choose how much noise to cancel. Connect them to a streaming device like the Roku Ultra for private listening.
This inexpensive accessory is a must-have if you're opting for a Roku streaming device. The four-pack of remote control covers come in four glow-in-the-dark colors that make it easy to find your remote when it falls between couch cushions or gets knocked on the floor while watching a movie.
Prime Day is the perfect time for larger purchases you've been saving for, like new TVs. The Samsung Frame is the TV made for people who don't want their home decor to focus on a TV. When you're not using The Frame, put it in Art Mode and display art (either your own photos or artwork from the Samsung store) to match your decor.
While you're at it, consider upgrading your sound experience, too. There are plenty of options for soundbars in the sale, including the Vizio 5.1 Soundbar SE. The soundbar creates "3D immersive audio" that makes you feel like you're in the middle of a game, show or movie. This set includes three full-range speakers inside the soundbar, two surround speakers and one wireless subwoofer.
If you're not watching at home, upgrade from your tiny phone screen to a tablet. This 11-inch tablet from Samsung is 35% off for the 64GB version for Prime Day. The large screen is perfect for watching videos and quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos give you a "cinema-like audio experience" if you choose not to use headphones.
You'll need a solid internet connection for streaming content at home. If you find that your house has dead spots, you might want to try a whole-home system that includes a router and pods that extend your connection to other rooms. Amazon's eero system offers coverage up to 6,000 sq ft and support for 100+ connected devices.
