The Amazon Smart Plug falls to only $13 for Prime Day
If you're looking for an ultra-affordable away to make a part of your home a little smarter, look no further than the Amazon Smart Plug. Prime Day deals have brought the IoT device down to just $13, which is 48 percent off its regular price. Amazon's accessory made it onto our list of the best smart plugs and it's particularly good for anyone who's already relying heavily on Alexa as their voice assistant. It plus into any outlet and can turn common items like lamps and coffee makers into "smart" ones by letting you control them with voice commands, set usage schedules and more. This is a record-low price. $13 at Amazon It's extremely easy to set up and use, particularly for folks who have some experience with the Alexa app. It doesn't require a smart home hub, as the app itself handles adjustments. The compact design also ensures there's room for another plug in a standard two-outlet fixture. The plug will automatically reconnect to Alexa after a power or Wi-Fi outage. We came away impressed with some of the features here. The app allows users to create routines, and we got a small thrill by saying "Alexa, goodnight" and watching everything power down for the evening. The major drawback here is the app's lack of sharing capabilities. The app doesn't let other people in the home access smart home devices, though they should be able to turn stuff on and off with their voice. However, they won't be able to make routines or adjust settings. It's also not the cheapest smart plug on the market, but this sale handles that for now.

Since then, we've found a few others that took away its title, but we still have love for the One Step — mostly because of its crazy low price. Typically only $69.99, the One Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 is down to only $32.99 at Amazon as of Feb. 6. That's 53% in savings.

They'll last 12 hours without needing a power boost and once they do, a 10-minute fast charge will get you another 1.5 hours. While that's not quite as good as over-ear headphones, it's definitely competitive in the earbud realm (for comparison, the AirPods Pro only last for six hours). Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them 4 out of 5 stars and noted "there's plenty to like for the price." As of Feb. 6, you can grab a pair for only $39. That's 44% in savings.
