Amazon Prime Day is happening this month — June 21 and 22 — but we’ve been on the hunt to find early deals. We’ve found some prices so low, they’re matching earlier Prime Day or Black Friday prices. To that end, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite items available for under $50 right now, from a Fire TV Stick 4K on sale for $40 to the JBL Go 3 for $40. Just note that many of these prices could go even lower once Prime Day officially hits — that’s especially true of Amazon devices like the Echo smart speakers. For more, check out these 10 amazing deals we expect to see on Prime Day.

Amazon’s first-generation Echo Show 5 is close to its Black Friday price. It has a smart home control panel that makes it easy to control your smart home devices. It’s currently $40 off and could drop even lower during Prime Day sales.

Amazon’s fourth-generation Echo Dot is currently $45 right now. CNET’s favorite aspects of the spherical Echo are the improved sound quality and the fresh design — plus, it’s not bulky.

If you’re not a Roku fan, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K is $10 off right now. Using the streaming device, you can gain access to 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, HDR and HDR10 Plus. The remote has Alexa built in so you can easily ask it to open Hulu, Disney Plus, Netflix and tons of other streaming services.

Need a waterproof wireless speaker in time for summer? The JBL Go 3 is just $40 (prices go lower and higher for different colors) and delivers up to 5 hours of play time on a single charge. It sounds good for its tiny size, too.

Amazon’s Fire 7 tablet is priced at $50 and has 16GB of storage. It comes in black, plum, sage and twilight blue colors. It has a 7-inch IPS display and you get up to 7 hours of reading, browsing the web, watching video and listening to music. The Fire 7 has Alexa built in.

Apple’s new AirTags can help iPhone owners keep track of important items — like a purse or backpack — using the Find My app. If you lose an item, you can put it in Lost Mode so that you’re notified if another Apple device user locates your item.

If you’re in the market for new headphones, the Anker Life Q20 may be what you need. To quote CNET headphone guru David Carnoy about this headset: “It’s fairly well balanced with a reasonable amount of clarity and plump bass that’s not bloated or muddy (there’s a bass boost or BassUp mode if you want an extra helping of bass). It’s also comfortable to wear, the noise canceling is acceptably effective, it’s solid as a headset for making calls and battery life is good at 40 hours.” Just keep in mind we’ve seen these sell for as low as $40 — a price they could possibly return to during Prime Day.
