CNET logo Why You Can Trust CNET

Our expert deal-hunting staff showcases the best price drops and discounts from reputable sellers daily. If you make a purchase using our links, CNET may earn a commission.

Here are the deals CNET’s readers have found most appealing during Amazon’s first-ever March event.

Adam Oram is a Senior Editor at CNET. He studied Media at Newcastle University and has been writing about technology since 2013. He previously worked as a Senior Writer at iMore, Deals Editor at Thrifter, and as an Apple Genius. His spare time is spent watching football (both kinds), playing Pokémon games, and eating vegan food.

Amazon’s inaugural Big Spring Sale is almost halfway through, and even though there are tens of thousands of deals available to choose from, CNET readers tend to gravitate towards certain deals. Digging into our data (which contains no personal information, don’t worry) paints an interesting picture as to what the winning products are during these sorts of sales in terms of purchase volume. 

So, sort of like a popularity contest for discounts, we’re rounding up the best deals according to CNET’s own readers — who voted with their wallets — below. While it’s not super surprising to see Apple products like AirPods rank highly, or Big Spring Deals under $25 proving popular, there are a few items in the mix you might not have expected. Since the vast majority of deals are all still available, you can snag some for yourself too.
