Amazon’s Big Spring Sale may not emphasize electronics as prominently as events like Prime Day or Black Friday, but it still features a selection of noteworthy tech deals worth exploring. If you’re on the hunt for budget-friendly gadgets, we’ve compiled a list of the top options available for under $50. While some discounts have been around for a few days, the offers encompass several devices that we highly recommend in our various buying guides. It’s important to note that this expansive sale will continue until March 31, and most deals are accessible even for non-Prime members.
Discover the Best Amazon Spring Sale Tech Deals Under $50
Soundcore
Despite being a couple of years old, the Soundcore Space A40 remains our top choice in the guide for the best budget wireless earbuds. They excel in delivering effective active noise cancellation, ensuring a comfortable fit, and providing a robust range of features, all while offering a warm sound signature that many users appreciate. However, it’s worth noting that these earbuds are not ideal for phone calls and they lack the auto-pause feature when removing one earbud. This discount has been spotted multiple times recently, and it’s only slightly above the lowest price we’ve previously tracked. You can also find this product at Anker.
$45 at Amazon
Anker PowerConf C200 for $48 ($12 off MSRP): The PowerConf C200 is our recommended webcam for those who are budget-conscious. It offers impressive video quality, straightforward setup, and reliable microphones, along with a built-in privacy cover for added security. While the USB cable is somewhat short and its accuracy does not quite match that of our top pick, it remains a significant upgrade over a typical laptop camera, especially at such an affordable price point. This deal has been available several times over the past year, but it represents one of the best prices currently available. You can also find it at Anker.
Lexar
The Lexar Silver Plus microSD card stands out as our top recommendation in the guide for the best microSD cards. It is well-known for consistently delivering the fastest transfer speeds among all the UHS-I cards we’ve tested, surpassing several higher-priced models. Additionally, it comes with a lifetime warranty, which adds to its value. Although this deal has been live for a couple of weeks, it’s just a few dollars above the all-time low for the 512GB version, matching the best price recorded since the holiday season. You can also find it at B&H.
If you’re looking to purchase for multiple devices, a pair of 256GB cards is also available for $37, marking its lowest price to date.
$40 at Amazon
Anker 525 Charging Station for $30 ($36 off): In our remote worker gift guide, we highlight this reliable desktop charging station. Although it doesn’t offer the absolute fastest charging speeds for smartphones or laptops, maxing out at a respectable 67W, it features four USB ports—two USB-C and two USB-A—along with three AC outlets, all in a compact design that easily fits on a crowded desk. This deal ties the lowest price we’ve observed for this device. You can also find it at Anker.
Anker Nano Charger 30W for $13 ($10 off): Having portable wall chargers on hand is always a good idea. This particular model from Anker is especially practical for travelers; measuring just over an inch thick, it easily fits into a pocket. Its 30W USB-C port is sufficient for charging recent iPhones at optimal speed, although it may not provide enough power for some of the latest Android devices. This discount represents the lowest price we’ve seen for this charger. You can also find it at Anker.
Until April 30, new and returning subscribers can take advantage of a three-month trial of Audible Premium Plus for just $3 total. Given that this audiobook service typically costs $15 per month after a standard 30-day free trial, this is an impressive $30 discount. The Premium Plus tier is Audible’s highest subscription level, granting access to the full Audible library and allowing you to keep one title from Amazon’s extensive audiobook selection each month. While we wouldn’t label it as essential, this deal provides a great opportunity to determine whether you find the service worthwhile. Just remember that the subscription will auto-renew by default.
$0 at Amazon
Amazon Music Unlimited 3-Month Trial for Free ($24 Off): Amazon is currently offering new subscribers a generous three-month trial of its Music Unlimited streaming service at no cost. Typically, new users only receive a one-month trial. Although Music Unlimited is not featured as a top recommendation in our guide to the best music services, it still provides lossless streaming quality and an extensive library of music and podcasts. This is an excellent option if you’re simply looking for a few months of free music streaming. Keep in mind that your subscription will auto-renew once the trial concludes unless you choose to cancel.
Amazon
This streaming device is the budget-friendly pick in our guide to the best streaming options available. It only supports playback up to 1080p, making it suitable for older or smaller TVs that you want to upgrade with streaming applications. Compared to Amazon’s premium 4K models, this device is a bit slower and tends to prioritize Amazon’s own services like Prime Video. Nevertheless, it remains compatible with nearly all major streaming apps, and the included remote features Alexa for voice control over your TV and certain smart home devices. It also supports basic HDR10, but lacks Dolby Vision, and can pass-through Dolby Atmos audio to compatible soundbars or receivers. Although this deal is $2 more than the lowest price we observed during the holidays, it matches the best current price otherwise. You can also find it at Best Buy.
$20 at Amazon
Blink Mini 2 for $20 ($20 off): This pricing matches the lowest we’ve seen for the Blink Mini 2, recognized as the budget-friendly option in our guide to the best security cameras. While it comes with some compromises, such as average image quality and certain features being locked behind a paywall, it still offers functional 1080p video, color night vision, motion alerts, and Alexa support within a weather-resistant housing. Additionally, setup is relatively straightforward, although you’ll need to purchase an external module for local clip storage. This product is also available at Best Buy and The Home Depot.
Chipolo One for $20 ($5 off): The Chipolo One stands out as the top overall choice in our guide to the best Bluetooth trackers. While Apple’s AirTag benefits from a larger crowd-sourcing network, we have found that the Chipolo One sends separation alerts more quickly when you leave an item behind and emits a louder sound when you return to its vicinity. Unlike the AirTag, it can easily attach to a keychain, making it a convenient option for everyday use. While it may not be the safest choice for long-distance travels, it serves as a practical security measure if you tend to misplace items like your keys or wallet in public spaces. This discount has been available for a few weeks, but it is just 10 cents more than the best price we’ve previously seen.
