The 10 most popular Prime Day products for ZDNET readers
An auto adapter is a game-changer for a car without Bluetooth, and this one is reliable with a function for easily swapping between connected devices. The best part? The AA Wireless Two Auto Adapter pairs fast.
“The AAWireless Two is the best wireless Android Auto adapter I’ve tested to date, and I’ve used quite a few. It’s priced well, functions as well as it looks, and, most importantly, holds a reliable connection throughout my rides,” ZDNET’s Kerry Wan writes in his review.

It’s a small device with endless smart home possibilities, and it’s only $13 right now, which ZDNET editor Maria Diaz calls “the best Prime Day deal.”

The AirPods Pro 2 are ZDNET’s pick for the best AirPods you can buy for a reason. They are without a doubt the best option for iPhone owners, they deliver supreme noise cancellation and clear sound, and they have several native iOS capabilities that put them above the competition.
The second-generation earbuds got a major deal that cuts them down by $100 this Prime Day. This is the lowest we’ve seen the price of these earbuds go.

AirTags do more than just track your missing wallet. And during such a busy (and chaotic) travel season, we’re seeing people use them to track down their lost luggage or put one in a bracelet that their toddler wears while on vacation. Outside of travel, AirTags are great for keeping track of all your valuables, whether that’s your purse or even your dog (ZDNET’s Sabrina Ortiz has used an AirTag for her puppy). This four-pack is selling at a 35% discount right now.

Our readers really love AirTags. If you want to include an AirTag as a small gift to a recent grad or loved one (but don’t want to give them a four-pack), opt for this discount on a single AirTag instead.
