The best early Amazon Prime Day deals to shop ahead of the four-day July sales event

If you’ve been holding off on buying AirPods until there’s a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $99, this pair is down to the best price I’ve seen. Now, they don’t include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it’s a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you’re after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you’ll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.

Apple products are so sought after that they don’t really need to go on sale, and when they do, it’s often because they’re older models. This is the latest version of this iPad, which makes the markdown all the more impressive. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, “It’s an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.

“If you’ve got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you’re in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you’re into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.”

Don’t want your new vac to suck a ton of cash from your wallet? This sleek stick’s a rare $74 (it’s only dipped lower than this once). It boasts strong suction for zapping up everything from dust to pet hair, and provides up to 40 minutes of run time per charge. Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well.

Be sure to apply the on-page code for the full discount (a record low). 

Ready to transform your blow-drying experience without shelling out for a pricey Dyson? Reviewers say this sleek styler is a comparable alternative for a fraction of the price. It quickly dries hair without harsh heat to leave you with silkier, stronger strands and comes with attachments for smoothing, styling and diffusing. Oh, and this price is its lowest yet. 

This is the very hand vac I use at home, and let me tell you — it’s so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply. Is it bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that’s to be expected, given its industrial-strength performance. That said, it’s portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that’s all I can ask for. Well, that and an incredible price — and this one is a record low. Bonus: You don’t have to purchase the battery and charger separately.

Scoring a new MacBook on sale is always a win, and this price is within $4 of the lowest this model has ever been marked down to.

These days, many people are swapping their plastic cutting boards for ones that don’t pose the risk of exposing food to potentially harmful substances. If you’re looking to do the same, bamboo is an excellent alternative, and this set includes not one, not two, but three sturdy boards and a nifty holder. Because you’re getting a variety of sizes, you’ll be able to designate one board for meats, one for produce and another for smaller mincing tasks. Oh, and this trio rarely dips lower than its current price.

No, it’s not a massive discount, but this top-seller is within a buck of its all-time low (and it’s retailed for as much as $20 in the past). 

You’ll never go wrong with the classic look of Hanes, and Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can’t get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts.
