The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streaming device costs $40. That’s an all-time low for Amazon’s top-tier streaming stick, which usually costs $60.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max plugs into your TV’s HDMI port to access all the top streaming services, including (among others) Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, and, of course, Amazon’s Prime Video.

This streaming stick has a 2GHz quad-core processor that helps make navigation snappy and smooth. The device’s 16GB storage is double that of Amazon’s cheaper model, so you can download tons of apps and offline content without worry.
4K Max supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos audio for a dynamic viewing experience and more immersive audio (with a compatible TV and speakers). It also supports Wi-Fi 6E, which allows for smoother streaming with less lag if your router also supports it.
It includes Amazon’s latest Alexa voice remote. The accessory has four pre-programmed shortcut buttons (for apps like Netflix and Prime Video). It’s Alexa-enabled, so you can use it to control the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and other Alexa-compatible smart home devices from your couch.
The Fire TV Stick Lite is also on sale if you want to save money instead of buying Amazon’s highest-end model. It was voted the best budget streaming stick by Engadget. The device doesn’t support 4K, so it’s only a good choice if your TV has a resolution of 1080p or lower. (It does support HDR, though.) Normally priced at $30, you can now pick up the entry-level model for $20.
For those who want to upgrade their audio setup, the Fire TV Soundbar is $20 off. It supports DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio virtual surround sound. It connects to your TV’s HDMI port and takes up only 24 inches (2.5 inches tall) of your entertainment center. The device works with any device connected to your TV, not just those in Amazon’s streaming lineup. As an alternative, you can connect it to other devices via Bluetooth. The Fire TV Soundbar, which normally costs $120, is currently on sale for $100.
