When browsing sales, the name of the game is to prioritize quality and not sacrifice your choice of brand when assessing the best deals. Prime Day is the perfect time to execute on that strategy, because Amazon features many top-of-the-line brands, but slashes prices across the board on Prime Day. Amazon’s featured brands are especially on point in the realm of technology, with must-have tech accessories from Apple, Bose, Sonos, and (of course) Amazon. From coveted new-age technology (ahem, the Bose audio sunglasses) to the classic top tech accoutrements your family can’t live without (AirPods, Kindles, etc.), these are the tech deals we’re capitalizing on to celebrate Amazon Prime Day 2020.
