One satisfied parent commented: "Excellent value for money. Great easy access to apps and great battery life, [easy to] set up, great parental controls. Lightweight, great colour and loads of functions. Daughter loves it. Prefer it to iPad.", Another pleased buyer wrote: "Great tablet, perfect for a 10 year old. Durable, big screen, good stand. Lots of apps and parental controls. Very pleased with how responsive the touch screen is. Battery life is quite good, especially in comparison to the younger Kindle versions." Available in three colours (Image: Amazon ) However, one Amazon customer expressed disappointment with the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet, stating: "First impressions were good, very responsive and like the parental controls, but the content is all very American and mostly Amazon Kids+ which is a subscription. "I bought this mainly for my son to learn and access ClassDojo, but that's not compatible with Amazon tablets. Can't access the app or the website. The phonics apps are mostly American, so not great for first learners, and most other content available to download has in-app purchases." Thousands of ad-free books and games with Amazon Kids+ (Image: Amazon ) Article continues below On the other hand, a satisfied customer left a glowing five-star review: "Brilliant for my 11-year-old. We usually have iPads, my child is autistic and broke many iPads even with the toughened case on. This was a great alternative. I love the case and the Amazon Kids which includes audible stories perfect for bedtime... So far this tablet has lasted longer than the iPad and is a lot cheaper."

Since then, we've found a few others that took away its title, but we still have love for the One Step — mostly because of its crazy low price. Typically only $69.99, the One Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 is down to only $32.99 at Amazon as of Feb. 6. That's 53% in savings.

The neckband style ensures they won't fall out or go missing while you're wearing them. They're even magnetic, so you can keep them secure around your neck when you're not listening. They'll last 12 hours without needing a power boost and once they do, a 10-minute fast charge will get you another 1.5 hours. While that's not quite as good as over-ear headphones, it's definitely competitive in the earbud realm (for comparison, the AirPods Pro only last for six hours). Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them 4 out of 5 stars and noted "there's plenty to like for the price." As of Feb. 6, you can grab a pair for only $39. That's 44% in savings.
