Prime Day 2021: The best deals so far from Day 1 of Amazon’s sale – CNET [CNET]

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day 2021, CNET’s guide on everything you need to know and how to make sure you get the best deal.

Amazon Prime Day is taking place earlier than usual this year, but it’s arrived with a big bang of fantastic deals. The June 21-22 date is the earliest yet for Amazon’s massive shopping event, but one thing hasn’t changed: the incredible Prime Day discounts. If you’re hunting for the very best deals for Prime Day, then you’ve come to the right place. In some cases, we’re seeing all-time low prices on electronics, fitness gear, kitchen appliances and a whole lot more. Oh, and did we mention it’s only Day 1?

Among our top picks from Prime Day (so far): the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones; the AirPods Pro headphones; Echo Dot smart speakers bundled with Ring doorbells or free smart bulbs; the 8-inch Fire HD 8 tablet (at its best price ever); the Kindle Paperwhite e-reader (also best price ever); and the latest and greatest Roku video streamer (just $30). 

It’s also worth noting that anyone who shops with Amazon’s own Prime Visa card will get 6% rewards points (up from the normal 5%). Don’t already have one? You can add a free $150 Amazon credit to get started.
