Amazon has deals on nearly all of its own services for Prime Day 2019

By
amazon

With Amazon Prime Day coming soon, many shoppers may assume the best deals are for smart home devices, Instant Pots, and robot vacuums. But Amazon also discounts Prime Day prices on Amazon services like Audible, Amazon Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited, AmazonFresh, and more.

In the run-up to Prime Day, which lasts 48 hours this year on July 15 and July 16, Amazon has been releasing pre-Prime Day deals to build shopper excitement and to keep other retailers on their toes. We’ve been tracking the deals as Amazon releases them and making predictions about pricing for popular products. We have found early discounts on Amazon Services, listed below. We also list additional services deals we expect but have not yet been able to verify.

Verified Amazon services

Amazon Music Unlimited is one of the most popular services. Subscribers have unlimited access to virtually any song, on demand, and without bothersome advertising.

After the four months, unless you cancel, you will be billed $8 each month until you cancel your subscription.

This AirPods Max Labor Day deal is the cheapest they’ve been since Prime Day
Woman wearing Apple Airpods Max.

The Apple AirPods Max are down to only $399 from Amazon as part of the retailer's Labor Day deals, which is the cheapest that they've been since Prime Day in July when they were down to $394. You wouldn't want to miss this $150 discount on their original price of $549, so we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as you can. It's not a good idea to wait until the last minute of the holiday, as stocks of the popular wireless headphones that are up for sale may be gone by then.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
It's no secret that the Apple AirPods Max are expensive (though Amazon's discount for Labor Day helps bring it within reach for more people), but they're worth it as "the most fun headphones ever" with excellent quality in terms of their build and sound. Their active noise cancellation is amazing in blocking external sound, while transparency mode will let you hear what's going on around you without having to take them off. They support personalized spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, and they can last up to 20 hours on a single charge with this feature and ANC and both enabled.

Best Buy has the best Labor Day MacBook Air deal so far
The screen of the MacBook Air M2.

If you've been looking forward to this year's Labor Day laptop sales because you were hoping to score an excellent deal for a MacBook, here's an offer from Best Buy that you won't want to miss -- the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 for only $799, following a $200 discount on its original price of $999. That's fantastic price for this powerful device, but you'll have to hurry with your purchase if you're interested because we're not sure if stocks will still be available by the end of the holiday.

Why you should buy the 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air M2
The Apple MacBook Air M2 isn't the latest model of the popular laptop as the Apple MacBook Air M3 was released earlier this year, but its 13.6-inch version retains its spot in our list of the best MacBooks as "the MacBook for everyone." With its price, which is currently even cheaper for Labor Day, it's an outstanding choice for a budget MacBook. In fact, in our Apple MacBook Air M2 versus Apple MacBook Air M3 comparison, the Apple MacBook Air M2 makes a case as the better option because of the value that you'll get from its lower cost, especially since most people may not need the extra GPU performance and multi-display support that you'll get with the Apple MacBook Air M3.

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch S95C OLED TV
When we reviewed the Samsung 65-inch S95C OLED TV, we described it as “jaw-droppingly gorgeous,” and that’s kind of all you need to know. This is a seriously great TV. Samsung has combined the advantages of an OLED panel and its self-lit pixels with tiny Quantum Dots so you get an incredible level of detail and fantastic screen brightness. Blacks are as pure as possible, while there’s more than a billion shades of color so it looks gorgeous no matter what you’re watching. Its use of Quantum HDR OLED+ is something special, and Samsung’s Neural Quantum Processor upscales non 4K content so everything looks spectacular.
