"The lightweight design and comfortable fit make the headset a good choice even during marathon gaming sessions, and the omnidirectional mic was great in my regular use.

Why trust me?

This is my ninth year covering Amazon Prime Day and competing sales events, and over the years I've developed a keen eye for deals actually worth your money.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: Frequently Asked Questions

Amazon's Prime Day was first hosted on July 15, 2015, and it has since grown to tremendous proportions.

This year, many retailers, including Best Buy, are already gearing up with competing sales. I'm here to answer some questions about Prime Day and other sales events at major retailers.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?

For 2025, Prime Day has grown from 48 hours to 96 hours, meaning it runs from July 8 until July 11.

It officially begins on July 8 at 12:01 AM PDT and ends at midnight PDT on July 11, but you can expect to see plenty of deals in the lead-up to the main event.

Do other retailers host competing sales during Prime Day?

Absolutely — other major retailers almost always take advantage of the extra attention to online deals spurred by Amazon Prime Day to host their own competing sales events.

For example, Newegg is advertising its "FantasTech Sale" that is expected to run from July 7 until July 13, eclipsing Prime Day.

As always, I'm constantly on the lookout for better competing deals than what Amazon has to offer. Traditionally, it hasn't been Amazon offering the best laptop deals, with retailers like Best Buy and Walmart often having deeper savings on our favorite PCs.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday in July event?

The bulk of the deals I've collected above are born from Best Buy's Black Friday in July event that's expected to run from now until Sunday, July 13th.

That means it starts before Prime Day and ends a couple of days after Prime Day concludes.

I'm seeing discounts on practically everything Best Buy sells, including laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, gaming accessories, games, and a lot more.

Do I need a My Best Buy membership to score these deals?

While a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership can certainly snag you some extra discounts and perks, the current selection of Black Friday in July tech deals doesn't appear to require a paid membership.
