BEST TABLET DEAL Amazon Fire HD 10 $94.99 (save $45)

The Amazon Big Spring Sale officially kicks off tomorrow, March 25, and runs through March 31. But Amazon doesn't tend to color inside the lines. A day before the sale actually begins, we're seeing all-time low prices on major brands and products — including the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. We've rounded up a few of the best deals that are already live as of March 24 for those who want to get a jumpstart on savings.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. Be sure to follow along with our Amazon Big Spring Sale coverage all week for all the best savings across categories.

$399.99 Save $150

For the first time ever, the Sony WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling headphones have dropped to just $249.99 at Amazon ahead of the Big Spring Sale. That's 38% in savings and a new record low. We've tested tons of headphones at Mashable and these babies constantly come out on the top of our lists. Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern gave them a nearly perfect rating upon tested, crediting their impeccable sound quality, great noise cancellation, and customizable sound. On top of that, they also pack a 30-hour battery life, crisp call clarity, voice assistant support comfy ear cushions, and an ambient mode that helps you stay in touch with your surroundings.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids

$179.99 Save $40

While the Kindle Paperwhite weighs in at just 7.4 ounces, the Paperwhite Kids has a heftier build at 11.6 ounces. That makes for a sturdier design that can withstand whatever kids throw at it (within reason). It packs built-in parental controls to monitor the content your child is consuming, as well as six free months of Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with tons of age-appropriate books. As of March 24, you can snag it on sale for just $139.99 instead of the usual $179.99. That's a savings of 22% and matches its best price ever. If you buy two, you can also save an extra $20.

Apple iPad, 10th generation

$349 Save $80

A new iPad dropped earlier this month, so it's no surprise we're seeing the previous 10th generation model drop in price. While it's not down to its lowest price ever, it's just $10 shy at $269. That's 23% in savings. It's still very much a solid pick for an iPad — especially for those on a budget. It packs the A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a landscape camera layout that makes video calls appear better, and upgraded stereo speakers for better sound quality. "It's perfect for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading. It's also a nice choice if you're interested in using your tablet as a laptop but don't want to spend a ton of money," Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino writes.

Fitbit Inspire 3

Looking to gain some insights into your health and wellness routine? The Fitbit Inspire 3 offers a comprehensive suite of tracking features — from sleep and steps to stress levels and blood oxygen — and won't break the bank. As of March 24, it's down to just $69.95 at Amazon. That's 30% in savings ahead of the Big Spring Sale. With a low-profile design, straightforward interface, impressive app suite, workout insights, and decent battery life, the Inspire 3 is one of our top picks for a fitness tracker. Mashable's reviewer calls it "an incredible device that is super helpful for someone hoping to get into a fitness routine, or push themselves that much further at the gym."
