If you're in the market for a budget-friendly, no frills smart TV, check out this deal on the Amazon 40-inch 2-Series Fire TV. As of April 12, it's down to just $178.99 at Amazon — that's $71 off its usual retail price and $1 cheaper than its previous all-time low price from last Cyber Monday. This TV does not support 4K resolution (check out the 4-Series for that feature), but it does offer all the smart capabilities from the Fire TV experience, hands-free control via on-board Alexa, and support for HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Audio. If you're simply looking for a basic smart TV that looks good and won't break the bank, it's really hard to beat this price.

Back down to their all-time low price from Cyber Monday 2023, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are an excellent value at just under $200. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, these buds are able to intelligently adjust noise cancellation and sound performance based on your ears and your environment. They also come with three sets of ear tips and stability bands for ultimate comfort. We haven't had a chance to review the newest iteration (although we reviewed the original QuietComfort Earbuds and were big fans), but our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) gave them a 4.5-star rating and an Editor's Choice award. Save nearly 30% as of April 12 and grab these babies for just $199 at Amazon.

The entry-level Galaxy Tab S8 (128GB, WiFi) is sitting at an all-time low $418.56 at Amazon as of April 12 — that's a savings of 40%. While it doesn't offer as much screen real estate as the Plus or Ultra models at 11 inches, it still packs a lot of the same hardware, including a 120Hz refresh rate, WiFi 6E, an ultra-wide 12MP front camera with auto-framing technology, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a 4nm chip. Its 8,000mAh battery also features fast-charging support, which can bring a dead battery back to 100 percent in 80 minutes.
