12 Best Early Amazon Spring Sale Deals (2025)

Once again we are being subjected to another Amazon sale. This time it’s the Big Spring Sale, which takes place from March 25 through March 31. And as is usual with these events, every category you could think of has some sort of deal or promotion going on, from home gear to tech like headphones and speakers. Some of these deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

We on the WIRED Gear desk are not strangers to these sales and their pitfalls. We’ll be covering actual discounts on products we’ve hand-tested and would recommend to our friends. While the sale hasn’t officially started yet, we’ve found some early discounts and listed the best of them below.

Updated March 20: We’ve added a handful of new deals on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, the Pixel 9 Pro, and the Dyson V15 Detect vacuum.

Early Big Spring Sale Deals

We see this discount frequently, but we’d be remiss not to include it here since it’s the best deal we see for the best headphones we’ve tried. Of the dozens, if not hundreds, of pairs of headphones our reviewers have tested, the WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) take the cake in terms of battery life (30 hours), sound quality (thanks to Sony processing and 30-mm drivers), and noise cancelation (complete with automatic audio pausing).

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are the best wireless earbuds for Android owners. They’re small and cute, with a supremely comfortable fit and fantastic noise canceling. The battery lasts for eight hours and the sound quality is great, too. They even have IP54 water resistance, so you can take ’em to the gym. It’s not hard to find a good inexpensive pair of earbuds these days, but we don’t see these go on sale very often, making now a better time to pick them up.

We’ve seen these drop to $329 before, but this is still a solid deal for the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re our favorite noise-canceling headphones overall, and the sound quality is great too. The design is sleek, and the comfortable fit applies to all three color options that are currently discounted (black, white, and navy blue).

The Google Pixel 9 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite Android phones, and this is one of the best price drops we’ve seen for it so far. The 1-TB model is also discounted, though it only applies to the black color. This smartphone is undeniably smart, with a spate of AI features that make your day-to-day life easier—including call screening, Direct My Call (which helps you navigate automated menu options), photo editing features, Circle to Search, and more. The Pixel 9 Pro has an excellent camera, plus a vapor-chamber cooling system that helps dissipate heat better than the base Pixel 9 model. The phone will get software upgrades for seven years. Don’t forget to snag a case!

This excellent cordless vacuum has fallen to $550 before, but it rarely drops below $600 (and doesn’t go on sale super often). It’s the best Dyson for most people, boasting all the features you need (like strong suction, a 60-minute run time, and a few different attachments). It also has a neon green laser that lights up the floor in front of the vacuum head, which can help you spot dust particles that you might’ve missed otherwise.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 isn’t for everyone, but it’s the best tablet for less than $200. Just be aware that it goes on sale all the time. If you don’t mind needing a workaround for the Google Play Store, and you don’t mind Amazon’s services being pushed at you from every angle, this is a solid budget tablet that‘s good for playing games and watching movies. It charges via USB-C and has hands-free Alexa support.

This is our favorite smart bird feeder. When we first reviewed the Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder (6/10, WIRED Review), we weren’t impressed with the price or the wonky AI features. But since then, the device has improved, with smarter AI and a lower price tag. The AI doesn’t always correctly identify the birds it sees, but it does a better job than smart feeders from other companies, and it does it at a lower price point (even with the $5 per month subscription, if you choose to get it). It‘s part bird feeder, part security camera, with a 1080p viewing angle and color night vision. This version comes with a solar panel—once it’s mounted and connected, you won’t have to recharge the feeder.

This smart bird feeder has a pretty unimpressive smartphone app. Its best features (2K video, AI identification) are locked behind a subscription that costs $4 per month or $48 per year. And the subscription isn’t really worth it—the AI was wonky, and the video clips are just 10 seconds long. However, the battery lasts forever thanks to the built-in solar panel—over two months in our reviewer’s testing experience—and there’s a light for night viewing. If you simply want a bird feeder with a camera attached, or you want to see what all the fuss is about, this is a super-affordable option that can help you dip your toes into the world of smart bird feeders.

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is one of our favorite Dyson vacuums overall. It’s got a wet roller head and drip tray built in, which makes it both a vacuum and a mop. It can clean about 1,000 square feet on one charge and water tank fill, with up to an hour of run time and around 4.5 hours to recharge the battery. If you want a wet/dry vacuum that isn’t a robot, this is a great deal on Dyson’s offering.

This countertop appliance went viral on TikTok, and it’s one of the best pizza ovens we’ve tried. The 12-inch cooking surface can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (which takes around 15 minutes). You’ll need to rotate your pizzas pretty frequently, and it can take a while to cook them since the top lets heat out so quickly. But it’s a good option for anyone looking to make homemade pizzas without needing to stick an appliance in their backyard.

This little table made our list of the best standing desks. It can be used as a nightside table or an over-bed desk, and it’s easy to move with the built-in wheels. Press the paddle underneath and adjust the height with ease. It’s nice to keep around if you tend to work from the couch or the back patio, and the 28- by 16-inch tabletop gives you just enough room to work without taking up too much space.

This adorable cat water fountain is our favorite budget-friendly option, and it’s even more affordable once you clip the on-page coupon. The metal bowl is dishwasher-safe, and there’s a clear viewing window so you can easily see the water level. The fountain can be adjusted between a few different configurations (waterfall and two bubble-up modes) so you can choose whichever your cat prefers. Replacement filters are cheap and the reservoir holds 2.4 liters.
