Amazon Prime Day is the time to scoop up items you've been eyeing for months at a discount, thanks to serious price drops that happen just once a year. If you're looking to refresh your tech mainstays-say, those noise-cancelling headphones getting plenty of use at home, or a portable clip-on speaker perfect for morning bike rides-this is the time to hit "add to cart." Keep in mind though, these deals go fast. 

To help you find the most worthwhile items on Amazon Prime Day before they're gone, we scoured the (massive) sale for the top tech deals for travelers. Read on for 11 of the best Amazon Prime Day tech deals from brands we love, including Sennheiser headphones and covetable Marshall speakers, and check back for more deals as the sale goes on.

Kindle Kids Edition

$110.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Headed on a holiday road trip with kids or tweens? Consider this an early present to the both of you. Pick from one of four covers: light blue, cotton candy pink, rainbow birds, or a space station pattern. The Kindle also comes with a year of Amazon Kids+, which houses books like the Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl series.

Canon EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Camera

$1099.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

This compact Canon camera is one of these best deals we've seen this Prime Day; save $300 if you buy it before the end of the day. It's one of our favorite cameras for travel, and get points for being lightweight and easy to use, while also offering more complex modes and the ability to capture high-action moments with burst mode.

Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Headphones

$65.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

If you want noise-cancelling headphones without the hefty price tag, look no further than this model from Anker. They're usually well under $100, which is a true feat, and over 11,000 reviews give them an average of 4.5 stars, praising the sound quality, the long battery life (up to 40 hours in noise-canceling mode, 60 hours in standard mode), and, of course, the "bang for your buck"-which rings even truer when they're on sale for just over $30. They're guaranteed to reduce up to 90 percent of ambient noise around you, and memory foam on the ear cups means you'll get a snug, yet gentle, fit.

DJI Mavic Mini Combo

$499.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Ideal for both newbies and seasoned fliers alike, the Mavic Mini offers a whole lot in a small package. It's one of our favorite drones for travelers, and through Prime Day, a set with the drone and a whole bunch of accessories (a gimbal, spare propellers, spare control sticks, a battery carrying case, and more) are 20 percent off.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

$199.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Bang & Olufsen has some of the best tech gear out there-their items are always of the highest quality, with sleek lines and minimalist design. The Beoplay portable bluetooth speaker is perfect for travelers, whether you're staying close to home or hitting the road. The round all-aluminum body, which comes in earth tones like chestnut, clay, and pine, has a leather cord attached so you can hang the speaker on your backpack or bike basket. Or, throw it in your carry-on-it takes up less space than a paperback book-and bring it along to the Airbnb you're renting for a month. It has a USB port for charging, but the long-lasting battery will give you 24 hours of uninterrupted cordless play.

Sennheiser PXC 550-II Headphones

$350.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Every year on Prime Day, we keep an eye out for Sennheiser headphones. The DJ-approved brand delivers great sound on every model, with comfortable fits you can wear for hours. We especially love the PSC 550-II, which has adaptive noise cancellation that'll block out engine noise on your next flight-or the odd distraction while you work from home. The right ear cup also has a touch pad that allows you to change the volume, pause your music, or even accept an incoming call through your bluetooth-paired device. Even better? You'll get 30 hours of play time on every charge. (It's no wonder these headphones have nearly 5,000 reviews on Amazon.)

Marshall Stockwell II Portable Speaker

$200.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

This compact speaker offers a whole lot of personality in a small package. Like all Marshall speakers, it has a retro design-complete with the Marshall logo in cursive scribbled across the front, and a leather and velvet strap-but the specs are as modern as it gets. Its Bluetooth connection allows you uninterrupted play within a 30 foot range, with over 20 hours of play time on a single charge (and, in case you forget to charge it before your trip, just 20 minutes plugged in will get you at least five hours of music). It's not the smallest portable speaker out there, but it's arguably the coolest-and while you might not be packing it in your carry-on, this is the speaker you'll bring on every road trip

OtterBox Commuter Series Case

$50.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Travel can put your phone through a lot, but a good case can have your back. OtterBox cases are known for offering the kind of protection travel demands-whether that's shock absorption for dropping your phone mid-trek, or a shield against scuffs in a daybag full of keys, pens, and, inevitably, a few loose Euros. Unlike the classic OtterBox cases which look like they could survive the apocalypse, the Commuter series is sleek. Consider these the stocking stuffer you didn't know you needed (the model for iPhones 8/7 is also on sale).

The Kindle Paperwhite is a Traveler favorite, in part because it uses a special font and typography meant to mimic that of a real book. Plus, along with the discount, Amazon is offering three months free to new Kindle Unlimited customers. -Madison Flager, commerce editor $130, Amazon.

Kindle Paperwhite

$130.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

Named our best Kindle for travel, the Kindle Paperwhite can accompany you on every vacation: At less than half a pound, it's not asking for much room in your backpack or carry-on. A single charge can last up to a whopping six weeks, and the whole thing is waterproof, so you never have to fear splashing the pages while lounging poolside or at the beach.

Early in lockdown, my husband splurged on a pair of AirPods and I have been jealous of him ever since. Noise-cancelling headphones are pretty much an essential tool to surviving quarantine together, but I also want them for the numerous Zoom calls that make up my day, the runs I've been going on when I need to decompress after too much Twitter, and for the podcasts I listen to during long walks through Brooklyn. But most of all, I want them for when I do, finally, step on a plane again. -Lale Arikoglu, senior lifestyle editor $249, Amazon.

Apple AirPods Pro

$249.00, Amazon

BUY NOW

If you're going to splurge on AirPods this Prime Day, you might as well go for the Pro version. They are more sweat- and water-resistant than the original design, ideal for active travelers who plan to exercise with these, and offer active noise cancellation-a must for drowning out noisy neighbors on future flights or road trips. If you are in the market for a less expensive pair, both the wired and wireless charging versions of the original AirPods are on sale, too.
