<p><strong><em>Street price: $400; deal price $200</em></strong></p>
<p>This is a new low price by a significant margin and half off the street price for this mesh networking kit. This deal far exceeds our expectation.</p>
<p>The Eero Home is the runner-up in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-mesh-networking-kits/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review of the best mesh networking kits</a>. Jim Salter and Senior Staff Writer Joel Santo Domingo wrote, &#8220;The system is physically attractive, technologically flexible, and well-established. It has also improved tremendously since its launch, thanks to new firmware and more powerful second-generation hardware.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078HJMVTK?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Polk Command Sound Bar</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" data-credit-link-back="" data-dam-provider="Engadget" data-local-id="local-2-9674592-1563215046394" data-media-id="7c1258e2-6a87-4727-acf3-f9cc140465c6" data-original-url="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-07/8562ea90-a72d-11e9-8ffb-131605af9f60" data-title="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_468_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $250; deal price $200</em></strong></p>
<p>The smart soundbar pick in our guide to the best soundbar is back down to $200, a price we only see a few times a year during deals holidays.</p>
<p>The Polk Command Sound Bar is an also great pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-soundbar/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review of the best soundbars</a>. Editor Adrienne Maxwell wrote, &#8220;of the initial crop that we&#8217;ve tested, the Polk Command Bar delivers the best features and performance, with good dynamic ability and a well-balanced sound.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKT1NYY?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon Echo (2nd Gen) with Amazon Smart Plug</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" data-credit-link-back="" data-dam-provider="Engadget" data-local-id="local-3-1536221-1563215062163" data-media-id="f5136b48-1693-4090-b7e7-d1b742747963" data-original-url="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-07/858da410-a72d-11e9-bb6b-b283d9bb1e38" data-title="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_110_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $85; deal price $55</em></strong></p>
<p>This bundle is only $5 more than current sale price of smart speaker, and is well worth a flyer. This is as low as we&#8217;ve seen the Echo smart speaker.</p>
<p>The 2nd Generation Amazon Echo is our pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/what-is-alexa-what-is-the-amazon-echo-and-should-you-get-one/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our guide to Amazon Alexa</a>. Senior Editor Grant Clauser wrote, &#8220;If you want music without hooking up any additional speakers, the second-generation Echo offers the complete range of functions, minus the screen features of the Show and Spot.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-T5-Portable-SSD-MU-PA500B/dp/B073GZBT36?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Samsung T5 Portable 500 GB SSD</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" data-credit-link-back="" data-dam-provider="Engadget" data-local-id="local-4-4614284-1563215075123" data-media-id="3e81ac70-6abf-46b2-89a5-08cb9a3f2798" data-original-url="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-07/85819620-a72d-11e9-acf7-5e8d043a0c5a" data-title="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_287_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $100; deal price $80</em></strong></p>
<p>Down to a new low price, this is a fantastic deal on this portable SSD. While we&#8217;ve seen the street price steadily decreasing over the past few months, this is still a great time to pick it up.</p>
<p>The Samsung T5 SSD is the top pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-portable-ssd/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our guide to the best portable SSDs</a>. Staff Writer Justin Krajeski wrote, &#8220;This the best portable solid-state drive for most people because it&#8217;s reliable, fast, reasonably priced and compact. At around 40 cents per gigabyte, it costs about as much per gigabyte as most SSDs—many of which are slower and larger.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2402-FreeSync-Advanced-Ergonomics/dp/B075D1B4SV?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ViewSonic XG2402 Gaming Monitor</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" data-credit-link-back="" data-dam-provider="Engadget" data-local-id="local-5-4992817-1563215087109" data-media-id="e74a68de-f333-4160-bdf8-da576a877989" data-original-url="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-07/8569c860-a72d-11e9-bdff-b68eeb832ecd" data-title="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_753_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $240; deal price $200</em></strong></p>
<p>This is a great deal on this budget gaming monitor, which only drops below $220 periodically.</p>
<p>The ViewSonic XG2402 is the budget pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-gaming-monitors/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review of the best gaming monitors</a>. Staff Writer Thorin Klosowski wrote, &#8220;The XG2402&#8217;s responsive TN panel feels great to use in competitive online multiplayer games, and is the best gaming monitor you&#8217;ll find that costs less than $250.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P9R5HF4?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Pixel 3</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_989_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg" data-mep="3040584"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $665; deal price $540</em></strong></p>
<p>This deal on Clearly White and Just Black colors is a new low for the Google Pixel 3. Recent deals we&#8217;ve seen haven&#8217;t included the white and black colors, so if you&#8217;d prefer these options, this is a good chance to pick up a new phone for a very reasonable price.</p>
<p>The Pixel 3 is the top pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-android-phone/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our guide to the best android phones</a>. Ryan Whitwam wrote, &#8220;The best version of Android with guaranteed updates through May 2022, plus class-leading camera performance, makes the Pixel 3a feel as good as phones that cost twice as much.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Echo-2nd-Gen-Charcoal-Philips/dp/B07HPZMHYL?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon Echo (2nd Generation) + 2-Bulb Philips Hue Starter Kit</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" data-credit-link-back="" data-dam-provider="Engadget" data-local-id="local-7-6636236-1563215115994" data-media-id="6525fc6c-134b-4c5d-bb08-10afbe4f28f4" data-original-url="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-07/85876280-a72d-11e9-bfd5-492a5872b398" data-title="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_667_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $200; deal price $150</em></strong></p>
<p>If you were interested in buying both of these items, this is a better deal than buying them separately even though they&#8217;re both currently on sale.</p>
<p>The Philips Hue lightbulbs are the top pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-smart-led-light-bulbs/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review to the best smart LED light bulbs</a>. Senior Editor Grant Clauser wrote, &#8220;This system is the best to get started in smart lighting, is easily expandable, and works with all major voice-control platforms including Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Enabled-Wireless-Earbuds-Charging/dp/B077ZGRVRX?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jabra Elite 65t Wireless Earbuds</a></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="Amazon Prime Day deal 2019" data-caption="An Amazon Prime Day 2019 deal." data-credit="Engadget" src="https://www.efrtechgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1563216583_734_The-best-Prime-Day-2019-deals-so-far.jpeg" data-mep="3040585"/></p>
<p><strong><em>Street price: $160; deal price $120</em></strong></p>
<p>Typically priced around $160, this deal matches the previous lowest prices we&#8217;ve seen for these headphones new but is a regular deal price and we often see refurb deals as well.</p>
<p>These Jabra earbuds are the top pick in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wireless-earbuds/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review of the best wireless earbuds</a>. Senior Staff Writer Lauren Dragan wrote, &#8220;We love the Jabra Elite 65t earbuds because they have all the features of traditional collar-style Bluetooth earbuds with the bonus of being completely cable-free. They&#8217;re the most comfortable earbuds, secure in the ears, and they sound great.&#8221;</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019OB663A?tag=wcprimeday19-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum</a></h3>

<p><strong><em>Street price: $47; deal price $35</em></strong></p>
<p>This is a nice price drop on a variant of this wired gaming mouse, and matches the best deals we&#8217;ve seen during holidays.</p>
<p>The Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is the runner-up in <a href="https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-gaming-mouse/?utm_source=engadget&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=syndication&amp;utm_content=Prime-Day-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our review of the best gaming mouse.</a> Staff Writer Thorin Klosowski wrote, &#8220;If you want a small, lightweight mouse or you just don&#8217;t want to spend more than around $30, buy this gaming mouse.

<p>Current Sound United chief Kevin Duffy will run the expanded company. What&#8217;s left of Onkyo will still have rights to use the Onkyo and Pioneer names for their Digital Life and Embedded Audio teams, but it&#8217;s clear Sound United will have the upper hand. The acquisition still hinges on approvals, including from Onkyo shareholders in an annual meeting on June 26th.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to see why Onkyo might be receptive. <a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/onkyo-cuts-ties-with-gibson-brands-philips-supply-chain-falters/">Reports</a> surfaced in 2018 that Onkyo was cutting its ties with guitar maker Gibson, which bought a stake in Onkyo back in 2012. Gibson had been struggling to manage its debt, and on May 1st of last year <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/40566146/heres-why-gibson-is-bankrupt-no-its-not-because-rock-is-dead">declared bankruptcy</a>. If the earlier reports were true, the Sound United deal would give Onkyo a lifeline. Not that it&#8217;s great for customers &#8212; you may see more homogeneity in home audio than before.</p>
