11 Best Early Amazon Spring Sale Deals (2025)

Once again we are being subjected to another Amazon sale. This time it’s the Big Spring Sale, which takes place from March 25 through March 31. And as is usual with these events, every category you could think of has some sort of deal or promotion going on, from home gear to tech like headphones and speakers. Some of these deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

We on the WIRED Gear desk are not strangers to these sales and their pitfalls. We’ll be covering actual discounts on products we’ve hand-tested and would recommend to our friends. While the sale hasn’t officially started yet, we’ve found some early discounts and listed the best of them below.

Early Big Spring Sale Deals

We see this discount frequently, but we’d be remiss not to include it here since it’s the best deal we see for the best headphones we’ve tried. Of the dozens, if not hundreds, of pairs of headphones our reviewers have tested, the WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) take the cake in terms of battery life (30 hours), sound quality (thanks to Sony processing and 30-mm drivers), and noise cancelation (complete with automatic audio pausing).

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are the best wireless earbuds for Android owners. They’re small and cute, with a supremely comfortable fit and fantastic noise canceling. The battery lasts for eight hours and the sound quality is great, too. They even have IP54 water resistance, so you can take ’em to the gym. It’s not hard to find a good inexpensive pair of earbuds these days, but we don’t see these go on sale very often, making now a better time to pick them up.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 isn’t for everyone, but it’s the best tablet for less than $200. Just be aware that it goes on sale all the time. If you don’t mind needing a workaround for the Google Play Store, and you don’t mind Amazon’s services being pushed at you from every angle, this is a solid budget tablet that‘s good for playing games and watching movies. It charges via USB-C and has hands-free Alexa support.

This is our favorite smart bird feeder. When we first reviewed the Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder (6/10, WIRED Review), we weren’t impressed with the price or the wonky AI features. But since then, the device has improved, with smarter AI and a lower price tag. The AI doesn’t always correctly identify the birds it sees, but it does a better job than smart feeders from other companies, and it does it at a lower price point (even with the $5 per month subscription, if you choose to get it). It‘s part bird feeder, part security camera, with a 1080p viewing angle and color night vision. This version comes with a solar panel—once it’s mounted and connected, you won’t have to recharge the feeder.

This smart bird feeder has a pretty unimpressive smartphone app. Its best features (2K video, AI identification) are locked behind a subscription that costs $4 per month or $48 per year. And the subscription isn’t really worth it—the AI was wonky, and the video clips are just 10 seconds long. However, the battery lasts forever thanks to the built-in solar panel—two months in our reviewer’s testing experience—and there’s a light for night viewing. If you simply want a bird feeder with a camera attached, or you want to see what all the fuss is about, this is a super-affordable option that can help you dip your toes into the world of smart bird feeders.

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is one of our favorite Dyson vacuums overall. It’s got a wet roller head and drip tray built in, which makes it both a vacuum and a mop. It can clean about 1,000 square feet on one charge and water tank fill, with up to an hour of run time and around 4.5 hours to recharge the battery. If you want a wet/dry vacuum that isn’t a robot, this is a great deal on Dyson’s offering.

This countertop appliance went viral on TikTok, and it’s one of the best pizza ovens we’ve tried. The 12-inch cooking surface can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (which takes around 15 minutes). You’ll need to rotate your pizzas pretty frequently, and it can take a while to cook them since the top lets heat out so quickly. But it’s a good option for anyone looking to make homemade pizzas without needing to stick an appliance in their backyard.

This little table made our list of the best standing desks. It can be used as a nightside table or an over-bed desk, and it’s easy to move with the built-in wheels. Press the paddle underneath and adjust the height with ease. It’s nice to keep around if you tend to work from the couch or the back patio, and the 28- by 16-inch tabletop gives you just enough room to work without taking up too much space.

This affordable cat water fountain is our favorite budget-friendly option, and it’s even more affordable once you clip the on-page coupon. The metal bowl is dishwasher-safe, and there’s a clear viewing window so you can easily see the water level. The fountain can be adjusted between a few different configurations (waterfall and two bubble-up modes) so you can choose whichever your cat prefers. Replacement filters are cheap and the reservoir holds 2.4 liters.

The Breville Barista Express is our favorite espresso machine for most people. It goes on sale for this price a few times per year. It’s easy to use thanks to the built-in grinder and adjustable steam wand. It doesn’t have a ton of extra features, but if you just want to make handcrafted espresso beverages at home, this’ll do the trick—and it lasts for years. WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu has owned his for six and counting.

The Basepaws Breed + Health DNA Test was great fun for me (and possibly less fun for my cat). After snagging a cheek swab and sending in the results, I was met with a ton of data about the stray I adopted years prior. She’s a mix of Maine coon and Ragdoll, with a smattering of many other breeds, and her health was good. (Technically all cats are polycats, but it’s still neat to see what kind of polycat my cat is). The test measures your cat’s DNA against over 100 feline health markers, including whether they’re at risk or at high risk of various disorders (like hypothyroidism or kidney disease). Of course this test shouldn’t replace veterinarian visits, but if you, too, took in a street cat, I think this test is worth it to prove they’re not a Martian.
