Taking the top spot on our best Nintendo Switch controllers list, it's remained unbeaten for a number of years now. That $47.99 discount is one hell of an offer, too, comfortably beating its previous best rate by around six bucks. With nary a deal in sight for the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, this discount comes very easily recommended. With Hall effect sticks, impressive 20-hour battery life and coming packaged with its own dedicated charging dock, the 8BitDo Ultimate is a fully-featured controller that easily outclasses Nintendo's official offering Rhys Wood , Hardware Editor, Gaming 8BitDo Ultimate review View Deal Nitro Deck Crystal Collection Edition: was $89.99 now $59.99 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 5/5 You've just seen our favorite Nintendo Switch controller; how about our favorite Nintendo Switch accessory this time instead? One that is right now enjoying its best-ever Amazon discount. 30 bucks off the stellar Nitro Deck is, quite frankly, a bargain. This special edition features a gorgeous translucent look, and several extras including swappable thumbsticks and a carry case are included in the box. Like the GameSir T4 Kaleid and the 8BitDo Ultimate, the Nitro Deck impressively features Hall effect thumbsticks and incredibly sturdy build quality, making it an essential handheld-facing controller that almost acts like a smart suit of armor for your Switch tablet. You'll never use those Joy-Con controllers again Rhys Wood , Hardware Editor, Gaming Nitro Deck review View Deal SteelSeries Alias: was $179.99 now $119 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 4/5 The SteelSeries Alias is one of the best looking gaming microphones on the market and it's a model that I would wholeheartedly recommend even before this discount to a new lowest-ever price. It's the microphone that I use every day and it's never let me down. It's remarkably easy to set up and boasts superb audio quality right out of the box that makes perfect for chatting with friends online. I'm also a big fan of its handy LED display, which gives you an easy way to monitor your audio levels and tells you when the mic is muted Dashiell Wood , Hardware Writer, Gaming SteelSeries Alias review View Deal SteelSeries Alias Pro: was $329.99 now $237.49 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 3/5 I reviewed the SteelSeries Alias Pro at full price and found that it was a good, but not quite outstanding, option for serious content creators. When you slash over $100 off its asking price, however, it becomes a much, much better value purchase. This model uses a professional XLR connector and comes bundled with a useful stream mixer that functions as its DAC. This makes it a great option for those looking for an all-in-one streaming audio setup. It sounds absolutely amazing too and is more than suitable for broadcasting your play sessions or recording podcasts. This is a new lowest-ever price for the mic and, considering the high quality of everything on offer here, it's not one to miss Dashiell Wood , Hardware Writer, Gaming SteelSeries Alias Pro review See more Amazon Prime Day gaming deals Back to the top Amazon Prime Day deals 2024 Wearables Oura Ring Generation 3 Horizon: was $349.00 now $281.81 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 4/5 While it's far from the newest smart ring, having been released in 2021, the Oura Ring Generation 3 still stands as an excellent smart ring. If you're willing to pay its monthly subscription fee, you get even more bang for your buck, with an array of features on offer such as illness prediction, an AI wellness assistant, and wellness scores). Having tried it myself for a few weeks, I can attest to the fact that it's a brilliant device with a fantastic selection of, continuously updated wellness tools. At its lowest price ever it's a win-win Matt Evans , Fitness, Wellness and Wearables Editor Oura (Gen 3) review View Deal Garmin Forerunner 265S in neo tropic and whitestone: was $449.99 now $380 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 4.5/5 Runners rejoice, because our pick for the best running watch for most people is just $10 away from being the cheapest it's ever been. For that price, you get an excellent watch with an AMOLED screen, recommended workouts, an arsenal of tools on the Garmin Connect app, and a Training Readiness score. There's a small caveat; the best and most noteworthy deal is on the Garmin Forerunner 265S, the smaller version of the device. However, if you have smaller wrists or just want something a little more lightweight, it's a fantastic option. There's slightly different pricing across all the available colorways right now, so make sure to check before you check out. Last year, I ran a marathon with a Garmin Forerunner 265 strapped on last year, and based on that experience I can certainly attest to the fact that it's a fantastic device Matt Evans , Fitness, Wellness and Wearables Editor Garmin Forerunner 265 review View Deal See more Amazon Prime Day smartwatch deals Back to the top Good morning and welcome to TechRadar's expert Prime Day deals live blog.

On with the show (Image credit: Future) Sony WH-1000XM4 now just $198 at Amazon TechRadar rating: 5/5 "You may ask yourself why a TechRadar editor is recommending headphones from 2020 still. We are mere weeks from the Sony WH-1000XM4 reaching their fourth birthday, and toddling off to kindergarten, and the new Sony WH-1000XM5 have been out for a couple of years themselves. "As you probably noticed, prices of things have gone a bit wild in the last [checks notes], ah, four years. Most of the new headphones that have come out since then have crept steadily up in price, and haven't always brought a drastic improvement in sound or noise cancellation quality. "That was the case with the Sony XM4 and the XM5 when that arrived. The XM4 is still 90% as good as the newer model, but during sales events can be found for that magic sub-$200 price, whereas the XM5 is only just now creeping under $300. And bear in mind, the XM4 were five-star, best-in-class headphones when they started! So now they're amazing headphones that are just a little bit older. "So under the current circumstances, I still really rate the older model as delivering the best bang for buck, as I noted in an update to our Sony WH-1000XM4 review ." Sony WH-1000XM4: was $348 now $198 at Amazon Recommended by: Matt Bolton , Managing Editor, Entertainment I've been testing and reporting on cutting-edge audio products since 2012, stretching back to iPod dock speakers and early neckband wireless earbuds. I've been covering deals events like Black Friday and Prime Day since 2019, so I know what makes a genuinely good new deal, and what's a less impressive price cut that's dressing itself up. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/live/news/amazon-prime-day-deals-2024-live-reviewed- by-techradar --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
