Best Deals on Tech Products Right Now

The Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds sit near the top of our ratings, with really satisfying sound and exceptional active noise cancellation. Bose headphones also earn top marks from our members for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction. This is the standard discount. It was $20 less for Prime Day, so you may see that same discount again for Prime Big Deal Days.

Dyson On Trac noise-cancelling headphones are the vacuum company’s first audio-only product—Dyson’s heavy and expensive Zone headphones add an air purifier feature—and there’s a lot to like about them. The On Tracs are beautifully designed, allow for color customization, and sound superb. Early production models emitted an obnoxious, loud noise when you switched from noise-canceling to transparency mode. If that’s been fixed, the On Tracs represent a real Prime Day value.

JBL Tune 510BT headphones feel like they’re built with quality in mind: They’re cheap, but they don’t seem cheap. This Bluetooth model delivers pretty good sound quality, it has a 40-hour advertised battery life, and we’ve seen it selling at remarkably low prices. The 510BT sits on the ears, which some people find more comfortable than being engulfed by the more common over-ear style. As an extra perk, you can also use them with a cable if you forget to charge them.

The high-performing Edifier S1000MKII has always been a bargain, even at its full list price, and this double discount makes the deal that much sweeter for those who love music. There’s an on-page coupon for $70 off, and you’ll get another 15 percent off when you check out. While the MKII lacks the multiroom capability of the newer S1000W, that’s not a dealbreaker. And that’s because the two speakers sound almost the same, and that sound is truly admirable. 

Right now, the Edifier S1000W stereo speakers are on steep discount compared to the everyday price. Like the speakers above, there’s a coupon and a second discount when you check out. The high-scoring speakers provides multiroom capability as well as the option of using either Bluetooth or a WiFi connection to stream your music.

Looking for a really good, inexpensive small speaker? The Flip 6 is at a fantastic discount at Walmart right now. This speaker is very similar to the venerable Flip 5, and that’s a good thing. It’s water and dust-resistant, has a 12-hour battery life, and is just the right size to slip into a bag or even the water bottle pocket on a backpack.

Anyone looking to save some space—or cut down on items to plug into their TV—should consider the Roku Streambar SE, a soundbar that includes a built-in Roku streaming player. Given its small footprint, it probably works best for smaller TVs, not that jumbo-sized set you’ve been eyeing.

This relatively simple, compact 4.0-channel soundbar from Denon offers acceptable overall sound quality. It can be expanded by adding optional HEOS rear speakers and/or subwoofer from Denon or Marantz, though that option wasn’t available at the time of our test. (The company said it will be enabled via a firmware update.) It can play Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D audio, but it lacks the upfiring speakers for the height channels.

This Denon model is a 2.1-channel soundbar, though it has built-in bass drivers rather than a separate subwoofer. It supports Dolby Atmos audio but not DTS:X. However, it lacks up-firing drivers, so it relies on audio processing to deliver an impression of height. It has decent overall sound but is a fairly basic model in many ways, not surprising given its price. It has built-in Bluetooth for playing music from a mobile device.

The TCL 75QM6K just dropped $100 compared to its sale price last week. This TV is part of TCL’s entry-level QM series of 2025 TVs that use Mini LED backlights, and it offers very good overall picture quality but only so-so HDR performance. It has a fairly wide viewing angle for an LCD/LED-based set. Like other QM-series models for 2025, it uses the Google TV smart platform with Google Assistant built in. Though it has a Mini LED backlight with local dimming, it has fewer dimmable zones than the step-up QM-series models.

The Samsung QN65Q80D is the top model in the company’s regular QLED lineup, below the Neo QLED sets. Instead of the Mini LED backlights that those sets get, which can help improve black levels and contrast, this model has a full-array LED backlight with local dimming. It offers very good overall picture quality and sound, plus a great HDR experience. Like other Samsung sets, it supports HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision. The Samsung QN65Q80DD model is similar but is sold via warehouse clubs.

This 65-inch TCL set, a midtier model in the company’s higher-end Precision Dimming Series of step-up models with Mini LED backlights for 2025, offers great overall picture quality and a satisfying HDR experience. It also has very good sound. It uses the Google TV smart system, with Google Assistant built in. It’s $100 more than we saw during Prime Day, so the price will likely fall again during the next big sale, possibly even for Labor Day. It may be worth keeping an eye on it to save more in a few weeks.

This 55-inch smart TV, a new model for 2025, is an entry-level QLED set that nonetheless provides a satisfying picture, though it lacks the brightness to deliver a compelling HDR experience. (The TV supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, plus Dolby Atmos audio.) It also lacks some features, such as local dimming, found in step-up models. Sound quality isn’t great, so you might consider adding a soundbar. It uses the Amazon Fire TV smart system with Alexa built in.

This 13-inch model has Apple’s latest M3 processor, which delivers strong performance while sipping battery. Combine that with the barely there 2.7-pound weight and it’s easy to see why the Air continues to be so popular. The model we tested is slightly more powerful with 16GB of memory and a 512GB solid state drive, but this base model (8GB of RAM and a 256GB drive) has plenty of muscle for the average user.

The 15-inch MacBook Air with Apple’s latest M4 chip delivers nearly 15 hours of battery life and weighs 3.3 pounds. It’s fast, portable, and well-suited for everyday use. Apple also sells a 13-inch M4 version, which we haven’t yet tested, but previous 13-inch MacBook Air models have consistently been top performers. Travelers may find the smaller model a better fit due to its lighter weight—and, of course, it costs less, too.

LG’s Gram line of notebooks has consistently scored among the top laptops in our labs since it debuted nearly a decade ago. The 16-inch Gram Pro, which often retails for $2,400, offers very fast performance and a 17-plus-hour battery life. Of course, given that it’s called the Gram, you’d be correct in assuming it’s quite lightweight as well.

This model may not have “Gaming” in its name, but it should deliver a solid streaming experience. It has a 16-inch display and a big, comfortable keyboard, complete with RGB lighting that makes typing in the dark easier and more colorful. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, which can make games appear silky smooth in motion.

This 14-inch model weighs next to nothing—2.9 pounds to be precise—and delivers nearly 19 hours’ worth of battery life per charge. Our testers note that it’s not the fastest Chromebook you’ll see, but if you’re just doing typical Chromebook-y tasks, that shouldn’t be much of an issue.

If you’re looking for a low-cost option, this might be it, especially because the price dropped $50 in the last two weeks. The Galaxy Chromebook Go has a solid battery life of almost 13 hours for web browsing (and nearly 8 hours for more demanding tasks), and our testers said the keyboard is comfortable to use as well. Performance is about average, and the display is merely so-so, but as long as you treat this as a low-cost productivity device rather than the only computer you’ll ever need, you should be okay.

It’s a small discount, but it’s one of the best Chromebooks under $300.

If you want to stick with an iPad, this entry-level model is our pick as the best tablet for most people. It has a beautiful 10.9-inch display, 128GB of storage, and the ability to record HD video. And its battery lasts a decently long time in our testing: 14 hours during video playback and 9 hours browsing the web.

The Anker Nano is particularly pint-sized, at just 3.6 ounces. It receives solid marks for charging speed, both when it’s charging a device and when it’s being recharged at the wall. And it has two USB-C ports, including a foldable male USB-C port you can plug directly into your phone—no connecting cable needed. The Anker Nano only has enough capacity to fully charge an average smartphone from zero battery about once or to top it off a few times—so this wouldn’t be the charger to take on a days-long trip. But it does have handy LED lights that show you its battery status, so you know when it’s time to plug it back into an outlet.

This compact, budget-friendly charger can be handy to toss in your kid’s backpack, especially if they need something that connects via USB-C. It’s roughly the size of a credit card and has two USB-A ports as well as a USB-C port, so it can charge three devices simultaneously. Iniu claims it can charge a pair of AirPods Pro over 10 times on a single charge and an iPhone 13 nearly twice.

Much like trackers made by Samsung and Tile, Apple AirTags work best if it’s within Bluetooth range (roughly 30 feet) of your own phone. But, that said, there are millions of iPhones and other Apple devices roaming around out there that can pick up a signal and discreetly convey it to you when you find yourself searching, say, a park or a school campus for the keys you dropped. Is the tracking pinpoint accurate? No. But it’s close enough to give you a huge head start in your search.

The BigBlue 28W Solar Charger is a solid pick for outdoorsy types who plan to carry their portable solar device in a backpack. It’s made of fabric and is particularly compact and light, weighing just 1.4 pounds and folding up neatly to around the dimensions of a magazine. It even comes with carabiners for attaching to the outside of a backpack, allowing it to get some sunlight while you’re on the move. 

This battery charger claims a max power output of 28 watts, which is enough to give some charge to smaller devices like a cell phone or an external battery pack within a few hours, depending on the amount of sunlight available. It has three USB-A ports, so you can charge multiple devices at once. And with an IPX4 rating, it can withstand some rain or a light splash, though it’s not rated for protection against dust or dirt.

The main thing that the Canon PIXMA TS7720, an all-in-one inkjet, has going for it is its price. It’s been selling for $99 for a long time, but now it’s discounted significantly, making it a great time to buy. The real street price is closer to $100 than the original $150, but you’re still getting nice savings here. Our estimate of ink cost is $68 a year, pretty typical for a cartridge printer. The lab results it turns in are decent, not extraordinary.

This Epson all-in-one color inkjet printer scans and makes copies, too. It’s not a particularly fast printer, but you can expect sharp-looking text, graphics, and photos. And because it’s a tank model that you fill from ink bottles, you’ll spend far less on replacement ink over time—around just $7 annually, per our estimates—than you would buying a model that uses pricey cartridges.

The Arlo Essential 2K (VMC3050-100NAS) is one of Arlo’s newer, more budget-friendly security cameras. It performs well in our tests and features a built-in spotlight, a siren, and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Additional features, such as activity zones, person detection, and cloud video storage, require an Arlo Secure subscription.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced is one of the company’s newer smart thermostats. It performs well in our tests for manual operation and offers an array of smart features, but it’s not as proficient at learning your routine and making adjustments automatically. It features a new radar-based occupancy sensor and works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings for voice and app control. It doesn’t come with one of Ecobee’s wireless temperature sensors (called SmartSensors), but you can buy those separately in a two-pack for $100 at Best Buy and Ecobee.

The Google Nest Video Doorbell (Battery) offers impressive data security, speedy response times, and decent video quality in our lab tests. It’s also one of the few video doorbells to give you monitoring zones, object recognition (of people, packages, animals, and vehicles), and three free hours of cloud video storage without a monthly subscription. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as facial recognition) require a Google Nest Aware subscription.

Prices keep fluctuating this week on Samsung’s rugged-looking (and top-rated) premium smartwatch, but you can still get a good deal. The watch is aimed at outdoors enthusiasts—or anyone who wants the latest premium health—and fitness-tracking features. It has a very long claimed battery life of up to 60 hours, or 100 hours in Power Saving mode. Galaxy Watches work only with Android devices. Note that the prices at the listed retailers vary depending on options including the color of the watch and band.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch7, now $30 more than its Prime Day price, is a high-performing pick, particularly if you own a Galaxy phone, and its stylish design means you can feel comfortable wearing it just about anywhere. The Watch7 offers the latest health, fitness, and safety features—including sleep apnea detection, swim stroke analysis, and AI-enabled Sleep and Energy scores. Its other features include automatic workout tracking, heart-rate and blood-oxygen-level monitoring, and heart rate variability tracking. This is the Bluetooth-only model; the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 LTE with cellular connectivity is also currently $100 off. 

If you’re looking to upgrade your Apple Watch (or invest in a smartwatch for the first time), the top-rated Series 10—reviewed here for CR members—comes with a bigger, brighter display than the previous model and faster charging capabilities, which might make tracking your sleep easier. This Apple Watch allows for cellular connectivity.

The Asus AX3000 (RT-AX57) technically doesn’t support the latest WiFi standards, but for many households, that’s totally fine. It’s a WiFi 6 router that delivers fast, reliable performance, especially at mid and long ranges, and it’s easy to set up. Security and privacy protections are decent, and at just $79.99 (down from $119.99), it’s a smart buy for anyone who wants solid performance without paying for cutting-edge tech.

This is a pretty good deal on one of the better-rated wireless routers that we’ve tested. The Asus ZenWiFi router uses the current WiFi standard known as WiFi 6, which improves performance relative to WiFi 5 as you add more and more devices to your WiFi network. Like many modern routers, it has a mobile app that you can use to set up and manage everything. And it has a feature known as QoS that helps ensure that, say, your Zoom calls stay rock solid even if someone else on the network is watching Netflix or playing Xbox.

This is a good deal on a wireless router that does quite well in our ratings. It’s not a mesh router, but if a single-unit router is sufficient to envelop your home in WiFi, this one should do a good job. Our testers note high speeds (technically referred to as “throughput”) across near, medium, and far distances, as well as useful features like automatic firmware updating (which helps keep you and your data safe) and the ability to manage everything from a smartphone app.
