If you're after a pair of buds and you don't want to spend loads of money, Prime Day might just have given you the perfect thing. The Soundcore P20i are a cheap pair of buds made even cheaper in the Prime Day sale.
The P20i are now just $18 after a $20 discount at Amazon, making them some of the cheapest buds I've ever seen. If you want something inexpensive, these are the earbuds for you.
Look, don't go expecting anything earth-shattering from the P20i — they're 20 bucks. They sound fine, they're comfortable, and offer loads and loads of battery. What more could you want for less than a movie ticket?
The P20i are cheap. Like, cheap cheap. So I've made a list of things I didn't think would be more expensive to drive home just how little the P20i actually cost.
Still need some evidence that these are some of the cheapest buds around? Well, you could get nearly 20 of them for the same price as the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones. You could buy a pair of these a month for the next year 12 and 5 months and only just have spent as much as you would on a pair of WF-1000XM5 earbuds.
Look, I can't sit here and tell you these are the best sounding, most comfortable buds I've ever worn. They're $20. I can tell you that you get something that's easily worth the price, and that you absolutely should pick a pair up if you're looking to get a new pair of buds and you don't want to spend loads of money.
Can you get better buds for more money? Of course you can. But this Prime Day deal makes affording portable music even easier, and that can only be a win in my book. They're solid buds at an incredible price — what more could you want?
There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.

Proper Ecom Opens Done-For-You Amazon Business Program

Hallandale Beach, FL, Aug. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Proper Ecom, a US-based e-commerce operations firm, has rolled out a new program designed for individuals who want to own an e-commerce brand without managing the day-to-day work. The Done-For-You Amazon Business Program is built for those with $85,000 or more to invest. Proper Ecom's team handles everything – from product research to fulfillment – so clients can focus on ownership, not operations. 'We spent years learning how to build great Amazon stores,' said Ohr Fluxman, Founder of Proper Ecom. 'Now, we help individuals own stores that are set up the right way and built to grow. You own the store. Our team does the work.' Clients keep full ownership of their Amazon stores, but they don't need to figure out how to run them. Proper Ecom takes care of everything needed to grow the business and keep it working well. Two Strategic Business Models: Private Label or Wholesale Exclusive Brand Deals The first way is Private Label. This model is to help clients build their own brand. Proper Ecom helps them create products, design packaging, and sell them on Amazon and TikTok Shop. The team also helps with ads and uses Amazon FBA to store and ship products. The second way is Wholesale Exclusive Brand Deals. This model is to help clients sell well-known name-brand products. Proper Ecom sets up special agreements so only the client can sell those items. The team sets up the store, lists the products, and handles everything. In this model, net profits are shared, which is driven by performance. The Proper Ecom Hybrid Approach Proper Ecom takes a hybrid approach. This approach combines these two proven models, giving investors flexibility based on goals and risk level. This differentiates Proper Ecom from its competitors. Most companies focus on one model. Proper Ecom is innovative and uses both models. All this comes with a dashboard that shows how the store and brand are doing. Clients also get regular calls with Proper Ecom to talk about next steps. Key Features and Benefits of the Program: Full Ownership with Transparent Reporting: Clients own the store and get paid every two weeks. They can see sales and profits in real time. Turnkey Business Setup: Proper Ecom sets up the account, finds products, creates listings, and finds suppliers. Access to High-Demand Products: Clients can sell established brand products that people already know and trust while they build their own brand. Fully Managed Operations: Proper Ecom handles ads, shipping, customer questions, and day-to-day work. Built to Grow: The store can add more products and grow over time. The team helps with testing and planning. Built for Long-Term Value and Scalable Exit Each store is made to be its own business. It has a name, a history, and the right setup to grow and even be sold one day. More than an online shop, it's a business built for sustainability and scalability. Proper Ecom helps grow the store by finding new products, getting more deals, and making smart choices based on data. Some clients keep growing their store. Others sell it later. The clients hold all the power to do what is best for them and their family. With a strong team and clear plan, clients get more than a storefront or website, they get a real business that can grow. Program Availability Proper Ecom is now welcoming new clients. Spots are limited to make sure each store gets full attention. Individuals can book a call to learn more and see if the program is a good fit. Learn more at About Proper Ecom Proper Ecom is a company that builds and manages Amazon stores for clients. Since 2018, the team has created successful stores using smart systems for finding products, customer service, shipping items, and growing sales. With two clear models combined into a hybrid approach, private label and wholesale exclusive brand deals, Proper Ecom helps clients own strong online businesses that last.

Sector Spotlight: Amazon's grocery expansion changes consumer staples landscape

Welcome to the latest edition of 'Sector Spotlight,' where The Fly looks at a new industry every week and highlights its happenings. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. CONSUMER STAPLES NEWS: Amazon's (AMZN) most direct rival in handling ad sales across the web, the Trade Desk (TTD), could be in danger of losing one of its most valuable clients – Walmart (WMT), The Information's Catherine Perloff and Theo Wayt wrote. Last year, Walmart renegotiated its four-year-old arrangement with the Trade Desk, under which advertisers buying spots on the Web using Walmart shopper data for targeting have to use the Trade Desk's technology. The new arrangement is no longer exclusive, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Walmart is expanding its 10% employee discount to include nearly all grocery purchases, effective immediately, in an effort to help employees with rising grocery costs amid inflation, The Wall Street Journal's Sarah Nassauer reported. Extending the discount to more goods year-round is 'one of our most requested benefits,' said Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris in a letter to staff Wednesday. Amazon's Whole Foods currently offers workers a 20% discount on most in-store purchases on the first day of employment, while Target (TGT) offers a 20% discount on fresh and frozen produce and some store brand items and a 10% discount on most other goods, available on the first day of employment. Manchester United (MANU) announced a new three-year partnership with Coca-Cola (KO), naming Coca-Cola as the club's Official Carbonated Soft Drinks Partner in the United Kingdom and Europe. The agreement includes pouring rights for Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Diet Coke, Fanta, Fanta Zero, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Dr Pepper, and Dr Pepper Zero. Marc Armstrong, chief business officer at Manchester United, said: 'Coca-Cola and Manchester United are two of the world's most iconic brands, each with a proud history of bringing people together. We are forming a partnership that will go beyond matchday refreshments at Old Trafford – creating engaging and memorable experiences that connect our fans to the club in fresh and impactful ways.' announced customers in more than 1,000 cities and towns can now order groceries with their Same-Day Delivery orders, with plans to expand to over 2,300 across the U.S. by year-end. Amazon said: 'This marks one of the most significant grocery expansions for Amazon as the company introduces thousands of perishable food items into its existing logistics network that is already optimized for speed and efficiency. Customers will have the option to order produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods, and frozen foods, alongside the millions of items such as everyday household essentials, electronics, fashion, home and garden, and more already available for Same-Day Delivery on Shares of competitors Kroger (KR), Instacart (CART), Walmart and Target were all lower ahead of the market open on Wednesday following Amazon's announcement. Costco announced July comparable sales were up 6.4%. The company reported net sales of $20.89B for the retail month of July, the four weeks ended August 3, an increase of 8.5% from $19.26B last year. Net sales for the first 48 weeks were $248.35B, an increase of 8.1% from $229.81B last year. ANALYST COMMENTARY: BofA downgraded Target to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $93, down from $105. Target is now underperforming Walmart on a comparable sales compound annual growth rate vs. 2019 and digital trends 'look very challenged,' the analyst told investors. The firm sees increasing longer-term sales and margin risks given slowing digital sales growth, a lack of scale in digital advertising and third-party marketplace, elevated tariff, pricing and merchandising headwinds, and increasing competitive threats from both Walmart and Amazon, the analyst added. Morgan Stanley, which has an Overweight rating and $300 price target on Amazon shares, believes the company has been losing 'modest' online grocery share to Walmart, DoorDash (DASH), and Uber (UBER) due to price, selection, convenience, delivery, and pick-up options, and thinks this category expansion and effective price reduction is an important signal of increased investment to drive durably faster growth. The grocery opportunity is large, but the extent to which Amazon increases competition could eventually challenge growth or profitability of peers, the firm argued, noting that among all grocers, Walmart has the most demonstrable track record of share gains and that it has been preparing for this risk over the last decade. Evercore ISI believes this expansion deepens Amazon's customer engagement by strengthening a high-frequency purchase category into the Prime ecosystem, increasing stickiness and customer lifetime value. The deeper integration of groceries with Amazon's vast general merchandise offering positions the company more aggressively against competitors like Instacart, Walmart+. By setting a relatively low free delivery threshold of $25, Amazon applies pricing pressure that may challenge rivals' ability to compete on convenience and cost. Given that this segment is a $1T-plus market in the U.S. and perhaps $2T-plus across all of Amazon's global markets, there should be a large growth opportunity here, Evercore added. The firm has an Outperform rating on Amazon with a price target of $280 on the shares. Oppenheimer increased its price target on Walmart to $115 from $110 and reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares ahead of quarterly results. Following a more difficult backdrop to start the year due to unexpected tariff and expense headwinds, the firm believes a positive guidance revision cycle could again materialize soon. Oppenheimer is lifting its Q2 constant currency sales projection to reflect the potential for stronger top-line momentum than it envisioned a few months ago. The firm is now anchored to the high-end of management's FY25 guidance range of $2.50-$2.60. Oppenheimer believes the company could lift FY25 financial targets either with the upcoming Q2 report or with the Q3 print. Benchmark upgraded Instacart to Buy from Hold with a $67 price target. The company's Q2 results and outlook, including a GTV growth inflection, suggest 'it may not matter' whether the company is not sustaining category share, as the firm suspects to be the case, since the company is riding 'a secular tailwind gaining momentum each quarter,' the analyst noted. Instacart continues to benefit from competitive pressures facing regional/smaller grocers that need its platform to compete with mass merchants and online players like Walmart and Amazon Fresh, so the trend appears sustainable, the analyst contended.
