We’re thrilled to wrap up the month of April and all of the crazy economic uncertainty that came along with it. And what better way to celebrate than with some of our favorite tech brands actually lowering prices? While we certainly don’t encourage splurging for the sake of splurging, we do recommend snagging gadgets while they’re on sale if you’re in the market for an upgrade. We’ve rounded up some discounts we think are worth grabbing.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on April 30. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to check out our picks from April 28 and April 29. Many of those deals are still live, including the best prices ever on the M4 MacBook Air and our favorite Bluetooth speaker for bass lovers.
Our top pick: EarFun Air Pro 4
“If you don’t want to pay over $100 for headphones, but still want good ANC and sound quality, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are one of the best value earbuds we’ve ever tried,” Mashable’s reviewer writes in our best headphones roundup. The Air Pro 4s offer noise cancellation that rivals that of much more expensive earbuds. Not to mention, they pair easily with most devices and offer better battery power than AirPods Pro, balanced sound, customizable EQs and customizable ANC levels. Usually sliding in right under $100, they’re on sale for just $63.99 at Amazon with an on-page coupon as of April 30. That’s 34% in savings.
Google Pixel Watch 3
The Google Pixel Watch 3, released last year, added some potentially life-saving features to its already stacked lineup. Some of those include loss of pulse detection and the ability to call 911. Other upgrades include better heart rate tracking accuracy, more advanced running features, and a brighter display with smaller bezels (aka more screen real estate). Typically $349.99 for the 41mm option, you can grab one on sale for just $299.99 as of April 30 at Amazon and save $50. If you don’t mind missing out on the new features, you can also save even more by opting for the previous generation for just $149.99.
Amazon Echo Hub
Finding it hard to keep track of all your smart home devices? Add the Amazon Echo Hub to your lineup and control them all in one place. Essentially like your smart home’s brain, the Echo Hub offers a full-featured control panel with instant access to all of your gadgets — cameras, lights, doorbells, thermostat, switches, etc. Anyone in your home can play music, ask Alexa questions, dim the lights, adjust the temperature, stream videos, and more from one singular place. Slash 28% off as of April 30 and grab it for just $129.99. That’s just $5 away from its best price ever.
Acer Nitro V15 Gaming Laptop
A Mashable Choice Award winner and our favorite budget gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro V15 is on sale for just $699.99 during Amazon’s Gaming Week sale. That’s 18% in savings on an already affordable laptop that can handle graphically intense games without overheating. Mashable’s reviewer Kim Gedeon rated it a 4.7/5 overall, crediting its performance, quiet and balanced keyboard, wide variety of port options, and overall design (which she dubbed “the perfect balance of fun and serious”).

Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus
Upping your sound system is possible on a budget thanks to the Fire TV Soundbar Plus. It’s usually $249.99, but you can get it on sale for only $189.99 as of April 30. That’s 24% in savings. The Soundbar Plus features three full-range speakers, three tweeters, and a built-in subwoofer (unlike the basic Fire TV Soundbar), so it can blast sound in every direction. It serves as an all-in-one sound system for immersive audio, offering Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS TruVolume support. If you already have a Fire TV Stick, you can even control it using the same remote.
