Score big savings during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale and weekend markdowns

The countdown to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is on: the official event runs March 25 to 31, but a selection of reduced-price items is already available. If you prefer to lock in bargains early rather than waiting for the sale window, now is a smart moment to act. Several standout offers span categories from audio gear and smartphones to sticky vacuums and multiuse air fryers, and some discounts may end before the main sale begins.

Below we walk through the notable early reductions, organized so you can find the best picks quickly. Expect a mix of budget-friendly finds, midrange tech, and higher-end appliances — all with the kind of percentage-off tags that make spring shopping worthwhile. Remember that Prime shipping can speed delivery if you’re a member and want these items immediately.

Tech highlights and portable audio

Affordable essentials include an Amazon Basics USB-C to USB-C charger cable for $5.85 and a compact 5-outlet extender for $9.98, while power banks and mini portable chargers hover around $25.98. For personal audio, the JBL Vibe Beam 2 wireless earbuds are marked at $39.95 (originally $64.95) and deliver strong bass with an advertised 10-hour playtime plus three additional charges from the case; the product’s active noise-canceling mode adjusts how much ambient noise is blocked.

Speakers, headphones and wearables

If you want larger sound, the JBL Charge 5 is $139.95 and doubles as a power bank with up to 20 hours of playtime and waterproof protection for outdoor use.
