Best Prime Day Echo deals: Amazon's smart home devices are falling to record-low prices
The best early Prime Day Echo deals include the Echo Spot's first discount and a 71% discount on the Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation.
UPDATE: Jul. 15, 2024, 12:45 p.m. EDT This story has been refreshed with Amazon's latest early Prime Day deals on Echo devices.
Amazon loves to keep things in the family on Prime Day: Discounts on its in-house lines of gadgets are plentiful and steep during the retail giant's annual members-only sale. This is especially true for its Alexa-enabled Echo smart home devices and wearables, which frequently enjoy Prime Day deals exceeding the half-off mark. New year-round lows are not uncommon.
In the hours leading up to Prime Day 2024 (set for July 16 and 17), Amazon is in peak form. The just-announced Echo Spot smart alarm clock is on sale for the first time with Prime, while several styles of the third-generation Echo Frames are sitting at all-time low prices (again, only for Prime members).
Most notably, the Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation have hit a new record-low of $34.99 for Team Prime — a 71% discount on their usual retail price of $119.99. Amazon's been advertising early Prime Day device discounts of "up to 55% off" on certain listings, but shoppers can go ahead and ignore that number, apparently.
Bundles featuring Echo smart speakers and Echo Show smart displays have also starting to trickle out, though most of the devices themselves have yet to hit their cheapest price points. We'd hold off on adding those to your shopping cart in case they dip further on Prime Day proper.
Once Prime Day starts, we also expect to see the return of Prime-exclusive record lows on the Echo Pop Kids and Echo Dot Kids, which popped up briefly in late June.
Read on for an overview of the best early Prime Day Echo deals that are worth snagging already, according to Mashable's team of shopping experts. Check back often, as we'll be updating our picks constantly over the course of the next 48-ish ours.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.
Best Echo smart speaker deal
Why we like it
The all-new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock with a built-in speaker and a customizable digital face, which shows colorful animations in response to different prompts and questions. (It looks a lot like an upgraded Echo Pop.) You can control it with Alexa voice commands or by tapping its display.
Available in Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue, the Spot is now on sale for just $44.99 (normally $79.99) for Prime members through July 17 "in celebration of Prime Day," per an Amazon blog post — a 44% savings. You can also bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb worth $19.99 for just under $2 more.

Best Echo Show smart display deal
Why we like it
A fall 2023 release, the latest version of Amazon's eight-inch smart display features an edge-to-edge touchscreen display, spatial audio support, and a built-in smart home hub. There's also a centered 13MP camera for video calls. The Mashable team hasn't reviewed the Echo Show 8, but our sister site PCMag called it "the best smart display for most people thanks to its big sound, sensible screen size, and Alexa’s extensive abilities." It earned a 4.5/5 "Outstanding" rating and an Editor's Choice nod over there.
At $84.99 with Prime (or 43% off), this is the Echo Show 8's lowest price since launch; it's now $5 cheaper than it was last Black Friday. Note your options to bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb (worth $19.99) or a Blink Video Doorbell (worth $59.99) for just $2 or $10 more, respectively.

Best Echo Buds deal
$119.99 Save $85.00
Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen).
We'll keep things short and sweet: Thirty-five bucks for comfortable, decent-sounding wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation is just stupid. (Hell, we've never seen the standard Apple AirPods without ANC dip lower than $69.) Less than $10 now separates these 2021 Echo Buds from last year's entry-level/non-ANC version, which have a more polarizing semi-in-ear design, so it's exceptionally easy to recommend them for most people.

Why we like it
Amazon's third-generation Echo Frames are smart glasses that can play music, stream podcasts, and take calls hands-free. They're equipped with Alexa, so you can also use them to control compatible smart home devices. They offer up to 14 hours of battery life and come in up to five styles, depending on the lens type: Black Rectangle, Black Square, Gray Rectangle, Blue Round, and Brown Cat Eye.
All variants of the Echo Frames are currently on sale for a record-low of $169.99 for Prime members — that includes the Frames with prescription-ready lenses (normally $269.99) and with blue light-filtering lenses (normally $299.99). However, only the former come with a free Echo Pop smart speaker worth $39.99.
