Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is in full swing with hundreds of items on sale now, including plenty of popular personal and home tech gadgets. New tech models are expected this spring and fall, but if you’re OK with slightly older models, Amazon’s sale could be a good time to upgrade your devices for less.
We’re continuously tracking the best deals to keep you in the loop throughout Amazon’s sale, but if you’re curious about what people are shopping for this week, we found the crowd favorites for you. We used anonymous click and purchase trends from our data and commerce teams to identify the most popular picks. No personal data was involved.
Check out the gadgets our readers have been eyeing, and find out which deals are worth the buzz.
TECH DEALS OF THE WEEK
Deals are selected by the CNET Group commerce team, and may be unrelated to this article.
Sony WH-1000XM6
The Sony WH-1000XM6 is considered the “new noise-canceling king” by David Carnoy, CNET’s audio expert. These headphones improve on Sony’s other models with a more comfortable fit, better noise cancellation than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and solid voice call performance. The XM6 headphones also have spatial audio with head tracking.
If you already have a pair of headphones you love, or the XM5, Carnoy doesn’t think it’s worth rushing to upgrade. However, if you have the XM4, Amazon’s sale on these headphones may be worthwhile.
Sony’s XM6 headphones are currently on sale for $398 on Amazon.
Shark Stratos cordless vacuum
The Shark Stratos vacuum ties with the Eureka ReactiSense 440 as CNET’s best overall cordless vacuum. Even though it’s more expensive than the Eureka vacuum, it’s still half the price of other top cordless vacuum cleaners.
CNET loves it for the powerful suction and cleaning performance on both hardwood and carpet. During CNET’s lab test, the Stratos picked up an average of 95% of sand across three floor types. The Stratos’ five-year warranty and replaceable batteries also make it a top overall pick.
It originally lists for $500, but is $300 on Amazon right now.
Samsung 65-inch OLED S90F 4K smart TV
The Samsung OLED S90F 4K Smart TV is a top contender for the best OLED TV value for 2026, despite it being last year’s model.
If you’re eyeing Samsung’s S95F, the S90F has the same picture quality for a lower price. It also has fast motion for gamers, the best shadow detail and the same contrast quality as other OLED TVs. However, you’ll see any direct light sources if it’s facing a window or in a bright room.
Another top pick is the LG C5, which CNET likes for its good image quality and high contrast levels. However, it’s slightly more expensive. The 65-inch S90F has a list price of $1,698, but it’s on sale for $1,398 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
Google Nest Doorbell (second generation)
The Google Nest Doorbell is a runner-up to CNET’s top pick, the Arlo 2K video doorbell, but don’t get us wrong: The battery-powered Nest Doorbell is still one of CNET’s favorites for a few reasons.
The second generation of the Nest video doorbell includes AI-powered smart notifications to detect packages, pets and people, as well as 3 hours of video storage — all for free. It also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants, and is easy to install. However, if you’re looking for the latest and greatest, Google has a third-generation wired doorbell camera with Google’s Gemini AI.
That said, if you’re looking for a battery-powered option, the second generation is available for $140 right now — originally at $180.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
If you’re familiar with the first generation of the Google Pixel Buds, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 have a few differences that may make them worth snagging during Amazon’s sale.
They’re smaller, lighter and have a “twist to adjust stabilizer” to help the buds fit snug in your ears. Compared with the original buds, the Buds Pro 2 deliver improved sound quality and solid voice-calling performance, though they don’t quite match the best earbuds.
How much you like these earphones will largely depend on how well they fit. With a good seal, you can expect excellent sound quality, solid noise cancellation and full functionality on Android or Google devices. If the fit is poor — or if you’re using Apple devices — the experience won’t be as strong.
If you’re looking for other options, the Google Pixel Buds 2A are a budget-friendly choice.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are down to $169 from $229 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D Printer CoreXY
The Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D Printer CoreXY didn’t make CNET’s cut as one of the best 3D printers in town. However, it offers four-color printing and automatic refills with tangle detection, with speeds up to 500 millimeters per second. You can use Elegoo’s other design tools, too, and the printer promises smooth results.
CNET recommends other 3D printers, including the Bambu Lab P2S for its four-color system and detail. And Elegoo has a new printer, the Carbon 2, with upgraded hardware and features, including a new design, a temperature controller, sensors and zone-leveling modes with more accurate calibration.
In this case, it may be best to shop around and compare prices. The Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D Printer CoreXY normally costs $380, but it’s currently discounted to $300 during Amazon’s spring sale.
Fitbit Charge 6
The Fitbit Charge 6 is Fitbit’s newest fitness tracker, and CNET sees it as a solid upgrade from the Charge 5. It brings notable features, including electrodermal activity tracking for stress, along with strong battery life and built-in GPS.
The Fitbit also includes blood oxygen monitoring and workout-based song recommendations when paired with a YouTube Music Premium account. You can treat the Charge 6 as a companion to your phone, as you’ll need it nearby to change songs or adjust headphone volume.
However, it’s worth noting that some features require a $10-a-month Fitbit Premium subscription, like the Daily-Readiness Score and workout plans. But the subscription is not required to use the Fitbit Charge 6.
The Fitbit Charge 6 is down to $120 from $160 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale right now.
Shopping Amazon’s Big Spring Sale? Start here
CNET is tracking all of the best tech deals to help you save money during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, but don’t stop there.
Other retailers also have sales this week, including Target’s Circle Deal Days from March 25 to 27. Usually, Walmart and Best Buy tag along to offer competitive sales, too, but Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, and Walmart hasn’t announced a sale yet.
It may seem like Amazon’s sale is the only place to spot a good deal on tech, but even though some retailers aren’t announcing sales, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check them for deals or consider refurbished tech. It may also be worth considering other brands and generations that still have your must-have features for a fraction of the price.
