When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? Amazon’s Spring Sale will be returning this year on Tuesday, March 25 and ending March, 31. Amazon confirmed its second annual Big Spring Sale event on March 18. Are laptops really cheaper during Amazon sales? Absolutely. Retailers and manufacturers have plenty of reasons to discount their laptops: new models coming out, overstock in a particular configuration, etc. Now, many of these discounted events align with Amazon’s sales, allowing retailers to clear inventory as part of the deals events. How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — laptops we actually have tested and would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. Looking for the next best product? Get expert reviews and editor favorites with ZDNET Recommends. More

When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? This year, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale begins on March 25 and ends on March 31.Are headphones and earbuds really cheaper during Amazon sales? Yes, you can find many headphones and earbuds at cheaper prices during Amazon’s sales. However, the spring sale typically offers smaller discounts than Amazon’s fall and holiday sales later in the year. During Amazon’s sales, headphone and earbud brands also slash prices on their sites to compete for your dollars. Sometimes, prices are lower at other retailers, so you should compare factors like prices, return policies, and free items included with your purchase before buying. If you want all-time low prices on the latest headphones and earbuds, wait until later in the year.How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?I spend most of my time testing the latest headphones and earbuds and revisiting headphones and earbuds released in past years to provide our readers with the most sound buying advice. I also notice products’ retail prices and when the lowest prices were offered, typically later in the year.Additionally, by retesting products, I can determine if they’re still worth hundreds of dollars a year or two later. If they are, I will still recommend them during significant sales. Another factor I consider is when newly-released products are on sale; if a product I recommended was released six months ago and is already on sale, I’ll notify our readers to take advantage of the sale price. Looking for the next best product?
