You're running out of time to make use of Amazon Prime Day discounts — most deals will expire by 11.59pm tonight, Wednesday, July 17!
Here at DS, we've been busy sorting through the thousands of markdowns available to report back on all the very best ones. That includes money off the brand-new Echo Spot, huge cuts on Samsung Galaxy tablets and a price drop on the Google Pixel 8 smartphone.
On Amazon right now, all six colours of the Pixel Buds Pro (bay blue, porcelain white, fog grey, charcoal black, lemongrass yellow and coral pink) have been discounted from £199 to £129 — that's a huge £70 reduction. Whichever way you cut it, that's more affordable than Apple's AirPods Pro and a way better buy for Android users.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro are some of our favourite AirPods alternatives, here are five reasons why you should buy them before the end of the Amazon Prime Day sale:
1 — Clever features are the biggest perk of the Google Pixel Buds Pro, especially if you're on Android or own a Google-made handset like the Pixel 7, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro. You can get walking directions and respond to texts without getting your handset out of your pocket, and one of the best features is "real-time" translation for 40 different languages.
2 — Touch controls and voice commands give you plenty of ways to control the music, tapping the outside of the earbuds will pause, play or skip through songs and they'll respond to the "Hey Google" wake word for quick access to Google Assistant.

3 — Sound quality and noise-cancelling are a big win, especially in comparison to the cheaper A-Series. Expect to feel fully immersed in your music.
4 — Battery life is impressive. The Google Pixel Buds Pro deliver 11 hours of listening time per charge. Switch ANC on and you’ll still have up to seven hours of uninterrupted listening. Plus the charging case gives you up to 31 hours of music in total before it needs to be plugged in.
5 — Multipoint connectivity allows you to seamlessly switch the audio between devices without fiddling around with any Bluetooth settings. You'll be able to listen to music from your phone and switch to your laptop when a video call comes through.
