As we patiently await the next big shopping holiday or savings event, we’ve got our eyes peeled for any grand deal that may pop up. And lucky for you, we’ve found a few really good ones at Amazon to kick off the week of April 15. After all, there are always deals to be found at Amazon — you just need to sort through all the noise to find them.
We’ve done the hard part for you and hand-picked a few of the best Amazon deals of the day. And don’t miss out on our picks from Friday, April 12, as those deals are still live.
Our top pick
Looking for a solid pair of noise-cancelling earbuds to accompany you on your upcoming trips? Check out the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds, which are on sale at Amazon for just $229.95 as of April 15. That’s 23% off their usual retail price and the lowest price on record. They previously dropped to $249.99 following October’s Prime Day 2023, but this deal beats that one by about $20. While we haven’t had a chance to review these earbuds for ourselves, our friends over at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) tested them out and were really wowed by them. The reviewer noted that they “offer superb sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and a dizzying array of high-end features,” and ultimately gave them the PCMag Editor’s Choice badge of honor.
Released last month, the Blink Mini 2 just got its first real discount (and it’s a good one!). As of April 15, you can snag it on sale for just $29.99 instead of $39.99 — that’s a savings of 25%. The new Blink Mini 2 offers an enhanced image quality with better performance in low light settings, a wider field of view, and a built-in LED spotlight for night view in color. Plus, its weather-resistant design can now be used both indoors and outdoors with the purchase of the new Blink weather resistant power adapter (sold separately or bundled for an extra $10).
If you’re looking for the least expensive way to add Alexa to your home, look no further than the Echo Pop. Named after the fun pop of color it adds to your home, the Echo Pop is essentially like a pared down Echo Dot. “For people who like to keep music playing, and who also use Alexa as a home assistant, the Echo Pop is a perfect addition to any room in the house,” Mashable’s reviewer wrote. It’s currently sitting at $22.99 at Amazon — that’s a savings of 43%. While not its lowest price ever — that honor would go to the $17.99 Black Friday season deal from 2023 — it’s still a pretty sweet discount.
Another Amazon-owned security camera is down to its lowest price on record. The Blink Outdoor 4 (4th gen) is on sale for just $59.99 instead of the usual $99.99 as of April 15. That’s 40% in savings on one of our top overall picks for a security camera. Given that the camera is made by Amazon, the Blink Outdoor 4 works seamlessly with other Alexa-enabled devices. Plus, it comes with customizable motion zones without the need for a subscription (although, a Blink subscription will unlock even more features), and has a battery life that can’t be beat. Just pop in some AAs and you won’t have to worry about changing them for two whole years.

Just released in the latter half of 2023, the Anker Nano Power Bank is a small and stylish PD fast-charging solution for Apple devices. Its lightweight (just 7.6 ounces), fits in the palm of your hand, and comes equipped with a built-in USB-C cable to streamline your charging experience. The 30W output and 10,000mAh battery pack can charge most phones up to two times and bring an iPad from dead to nearly 60 percent on a single charge. It typically goes for $44.99, but as of April 15, you can grab it on sale for $31.99 — that’s 29% off and its lowest price since its debut.
