The Google Pixel 9A remains our favorite midrange phone, one that’s remarkably well-balanced in terms of hardware, features, and value. And thanks to Amazon’s fall Prime Day sale, the entry-level configuration is available from Amazon and Best Buy for an all-time low of $349 ($150 off), undercutting its most recent Prime Day low by $50.
Google's budget handset offers a 6.3-inch OLED screen that’s noticeably brighter than its predecessor, making it easier to see in direct sunlight. It also carries a robust IP68 rating — meaning you don’t have to panic when you drop it in water or dirt — as well as wireless charging. Plus, despite its more affordable price, Google promises seven years of software updates, which matches the same support offered on its more expensive devices. It also offers a comparable camera experience to the base Pixel 10 (minus the telephoto lens) at a much more affordable price. Read our review.

Bose’s last-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are some of the brand’s best noise-canceling headphones, and right now you can buy them at Amazon in their deep plum colorway for $299 ($130 off), which is one of their better prices to date. The headphones are also available for sale at Amazon and Best Buy in black, blue, or white for $329 ($100 off).
The QC Ultra feature top-tier ANC and some of the best comfort you’ll find in this category. They feature a lightweight design, soft ear cushions, and a wide headband with a gentle clamping force.

The recently announced second-gen model supports lossless audio over USB-C and an enhanced transparency mode, but the last-gen QC Ultra are still great value, especially at $150 less.
