You can still snag a bunch of discounted Echo devices right now. Of note in this sale is the Echo Dot smart speaker with clock for $35, which is the lowest price we’ve seen this device hit, other than the occasional lightning deal. Normally priced at $60, this Echo Dot is slightly more useful than the regular model because it displays the time through its fabric coating. Other good deals include the $170 for an Echo Studio plus a Hue smart light bulb, $100 for an Echo Plus plus a Hue bulb and $17.49 for the Echo Flex.

Newegg has a sale that knocks the price of three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate down to $22 when you use the code EMCDMGR38 at checkout.

Engadget’s James Trew tested these out and found them to be a solid improvement to Eargo’s previous hearing aids. This sale knocks $450 off the Neo HiFi’s price and, while they remain expensive at $2,500, it’s not an usual price for a good hearing aid.

This is a good deal considering how popular AirPods are and how well they work with Apple devices.
