How do you announce that winter is coming to an end? You spring it on them — and Amazon is doing just that. Amazon is jumping into the new season by slashing prices and offering near-holiday priced deals on tablets, TVs, headphones, robot vacuums, home goods, and even popular flagship Amazon products, thanks to the retail giant’s Big Spring Sale event.
And though the Amazon Big Spring sale doesn’t officially kick off until March 20 (and runs through March 25), you can already snag serious savings of up to 30% or more on top products from brands like Apple, iRobot, Beats, Bissell, Anker, Shark, and more. Now’s the perfect time to do some spring cleaning and shop new tech for yourself or a loved one, pick up a new home gadget, or grab something you’ve been eyeing for a while.
Right now, some deals are even near or similar to discounts ZDNET saw during Black Friday. So check out the best deals already live ahead of Amazon’s Spring Sale, and be sure to check back as we head into the seasonal savings event — we’ll be keeping this list updated with all the best deals on tech products our experts have tested and would recommend.

ZDNET Editor in Chief Jason Hiner dubbed these the best AirPods overall for 2024, thanks to their crisp sound quality and upgraded USB-C charging connection. Hiner wrote the AirPods Pro 2 are the most easily recommendable of the four current models of AirPods.
“That’s because they fit almost every type of ear, they are very comfortable to wear, and they include all of the best and latest features that Apple has to offer in headphones. Plus, they get a bonus set of new features as part of the iOS 17 update, which won’t come to any of the other AirPods.” Plus, they’re available for $60 off ahead of Amazon’s spring sale, matching the prices we saw during the 2023 holiday season.

If you’re someone who does a lot of work with your phone, having a battery pack that you can use both on the go and at your desk is incredibly important. When former ZDNET associate editor Christina Darby tested out this Anker 622 magnetic battery pack, it provided her and her iPhone-dependent workflow with everything she needed in a single package.
Review: This Anker MagSafe charger offers something Apple’s doesn’t
With a single magnetic click, this battery pack can be stored in your pocket, or propped up using its sturdy magnet to create a stand. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about charging your phone and your battery pack separately, as you can charge both simultaneously when the pack is connected to a power source. Darby noted that the battery pack is lightweight, and well-priced at under $60 compared to Apple’s offerings.

Hailed as the best robot vacuum for pet hair by ZDNET’s vacuum expert Beth Mauder, the Roomba s9+ picks up more than just everyday dirt and debirs.
Mauder says this is Roomba’s most powerful robot vacuum, expertly designed in a D-shape, allowing the robot to fit in the corners of your home. The s9+ offers top notch AI inside that can recognize shoes, socks, cords, and more.
The s9+ comes with an auto-empty base that doubles as a charging station, so once the robot picks up all of your dirt and debris, it’s sucked right into an enclosed bag so it stays trapped away. And because this is an iRobot device, the Roomba s9+ can pair with the Braava jet m6 robot mop to completely clean your floors. Right now you can save $400 on one of Roomba’s top models.

It’s also equipped with Nebula’s intelligent environment adaptation technology, which performs performs auto keystone correction, autofocus, keystone correction and obstacle avoidance in just 3 seconds, making setup and use easy.
When ZDNET’s Sabrina Ortiz tested out the Capsule 3, she was blow away with the soda-can sized projectors functions. “Anker calls the Capsule 3 a “Pocket Cinema,” and the description could not be more accurate … You won’t be disappointed in the sound or video quality, and the environment adaptation technology makes the projector extremely flexible in terms of placement,” she wrote in her 2024 review.
Current Nebula users love the maximum portability and crisp image quality of the Capsule 3. One customer said it “packs a serious punch in a quite literally pint sized package.” Other current users noted the only downside is that the charge only lasts about 2.5 hours which is sometimes not enough to get through certain films.

The Fire Max 11 is Amazon’s newest and best tablet yet. It still runs Fire OS, which means you’ll lose access to any of Google’s apps and services. However, Amazon’s own App Store has many of the same apps that regular Android devices have access to — including Netflix, Facebook, and Spotify.
The Fire Max 11 brings an 11-inch display, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage with support for 1TB of microSD card storage, and right now you can save $80 on the model.
Review: Amazon Fire Max 11: Easily the best Fire tablet yet
ZDNET contributor, Jason Cipriani, went hands-on with the Amazon Fire Max 11 and said that it is “easily the best Fire Tablet Amazon has made yet.”
“The Fire Max 11 productivity bundle provides everything you need to get some work done on the small and affordable tablet, as long as your work can be done in Microsoft’s suite of apps and services, or in sites that work properly with Amazon’s Silk Browser,” he wrote.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the predecessor to one of ZDNET’s favorite headphones we’ve written at-length about, the WH-1000XM5. We’ve put the WH-1000XM5 at the top of so many best lists for its exceptional noise-canceling, all-day comfort, strong battery life, great microphones, and, because it’s Sony, gorgeous sound. But the XM5 headphones are pricey, and the older XM4 pair offers similar features for less. Right now you can snag a pair for an extra $100 off, and score a top-notch pair of headphones for under $250.

“Sony has a winner here and has lived up to expectations,” Matt Miller writes in his review of the Sony headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones share similar features like comfort and sound, but offer a slightly different headphone design (the WH-100XM4 is more adjustable) and are much cheaper. So if you want to experience the amazing sounds of Sony but are trying to stretch your paycheck a little further, choose the WH-1000XM4 over the WH-1000XM5. The headphones offer 30 hours of battery life, a 40mm driver size, and Bluetooth 5.0.
