Prime Day is in less than two years. On Tuesday, July 12th and Wednesday, July 13th, there will be a two-day sale event exclusively for Prime members. You won't have to worry about missing out on great deals if we cover every one of them. Next week all of that is for. Today, you can save a lot of money.

The lowest price we have ever seen for a high-end sound system is from Vizio. You can upgrade your entertainment center for less than the original price at Amazon. The real thing, which the Elevate offers, is a virtual effect compared to the less expensive ones.

The speakers on the side of the Elevate that are upward-firing deliver more depth to the audio, making it sound like it does at the movie theater. Audio can be delivered directly to you when you aren't watching Atmos. Two upward-firing satellite speakers, as well as a wireless sub, are included in the Elevate. You can read more about it here.

The rotating speakers on the side of the soundbar make it sound like it is playing surround sound.

If you love low-cost gadgets like us, you might be interested in a cable that has a built-in power meter that will show you how much power you have. The brand Chipofy is selling its version of the cable for $16.69 when you use the $2 coupon on its Amazon product page.

One month ago, my colleague Sean Hollister bought it, and he wanted to make sure that his tech was getting the right kind of power to charge at high speeds. You need to plug the screen side into the device to see how fast you can charge it.

The display on this cable shows how much power is delivered to your gadgets. It can charge up to 100 watt, which is enough for many devices.

Prime Day is coming up. I agree. It is a good time for Amazon to offer discounts on its own gadgets. It has kicked off some deals for Prime members, including big price cuts on the latest Kindle for kids, the fourth-gen echo dot smart speaker, and the ever-useful smart plug. Each item is selling at its lowest price.

A one-year membership to Amazon Kids Plus and a two-year extended warranty are included in the kid-friendly bundle.

The 2020 echo dot has a more spherical design than an actual dot, but can still do all the things an echo can do

Any device can be connected to your network of smart devices. This will allow you to control the plug with an internet enabled device.

Some more deals to sate your Prime Day appetite

• Bang & Olufsen’s Beoplay Portal wireless gaming headset for Xbox consoles is steeply discounted at Woot. Originally $499.99, it’s $249.99. I haven’t tested this model, but it seems like a far better value for this price considering that it has active noise cancellation, Bluetooth support, and what appears to be a comfortable design. Note that, while in new condition, it has but a 90-day warranty through Woot.
