This is the lowest price I’ve seen for these headphones, but it’s only available for the black and white versions.

In the words of ’80s rock legend Meatloaf, two out of three ain’t bad. A great pair of headphones does three things: 1) fits well, 2) delivers effective noise-canceling, and 3) sounds terrific. This Soundcore model hits the mark on the first two line items. Sound-wise? It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. The bass is a little bloated, the midrange is not as clear as you’d like it, while the high frequencies have a sizzle that’s okay on your breakfast bacon, but not ideal on your favorite music. But at this price, you can overlook those shortcomings, especially if you’re gifting the headphones to a friend or relative who’s less than picky, or using them for podcasts or a little easy listening.

Beats headphones are sleek, and they sound good too. The over-ear Beats Studio Pro get top marks for noise reduction, making them perfect for anyone who wants to lock in at the gym, get some serious work done, or just tune out the world for a little while. And the sound quality rated 4 out of 5 in our tests too, so you’ll be able to immerse yourself in your favorite songs.

The wireless Soundcore Space A40 earbuds showcase solid sound quality, as well as admirable noise reduction in our labs. And in our member surveys, the Soundcore brand receives favorable predicted reliability and owner satisfaction ratings. But what truly sets these buds apart is the below-$50 price, which makes them giftable and, if you’re inclined to misplace things, even abandonable without tears.

We saw these dip down to $42 or so during Prime Day, but right now, this is the best price out there, and it’s still better than usual.

The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s top-of-the-line earbuds, and they’re jam-packed with features. The newest functions include live translation for overseas travel and a workout mode that allows you to leave your Apple Watch at home while you’re out on a run or ride. The buds still offer a clinical-grade hearing test and the option of turning your Pro 3s into an over-the-counter hearing aid. They also sound good and offer a better fit and noise canceling than last year’s Pro 2s. The Pro 3s don’t go on sale very often, so this is an opportunity to get Apple’s latest tech at an enticing price.

They were $20 more during Prime Day, so they might be less during the upcoming October sales too.

The Versa 4 is a great fit for Fitbit fans who want a sleeker-looking smartwatch. You get a good-sized display and all the basics from GPS-enabled workout tracking to heart rate monitoring, plus a generous six days of claimed battery life. 

The Fitbit Inspire 3 represents an upgrade from the older Inspire 2, with the biggest change being a bright OLED color display that replaces the 2’s monochrome screen. The Inspire 3 is a great option if you’re looking to save money, especially at this sale price. It’s lightweight and slim, and pairs easily with both iPhones and Android smartphones.

The Galaxy Watch8 is the latest model in Samsung’s standard smartwatch lineup and a solid all-around pick for anyone who owns a Galaxy phone. It features a bright 1.3-inch AMOLED display with always-on capability. It offers Samsung’s latest health, fitness, and safety features—like swimming stroke analysis and daily AI-enabled sleep and energy scores, which make it easier to keep tabs on basic health metrics. It also has more standard features, like automatic workout tracking, heart rate and blood oxygen level monitoring, and heart rate variability tracking. The Watch8’s battery lasts 1.5 days, according to our testing, which is in line with most high-end smartwatches, which generally require almost daily charging.

This 75-inch set, in Amazon’s step-up Omni series of QLED TVs with Mini LED backlights, delivers very good overall picture quality and a wider-than-average viewing angle for an LCD set. However, its high dynamic range performance had only limited effectiveness, despite the set having sufficient peak brightness. (It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats, plus Dolby Atmos audio.) It includes WiFi 6E for wireless connections and up to 144 Hz refresh rates for gaming.

The LG 65QNED70AUA is from LG’s mid-tier QNED models, positioned above the more basic LED models. This set delivers satisfying picture quality, but lacks the peak brightness to deliver a compelling HDR experience. It also lacks some features, including local dimming or Mini LED backlights, found in pricier step-up models.

Vizio is a brand now owned by Walmart. The Vizio VQD65R-10 is a 65-inch QLED TV that performs well overall in our picture-quality tests, but not as well in HDR performance. It’s a smart TV running the Vizio OS platform, formerly known as SmartCast. It has WiFi 6 internet and features the company’s QuickFit mounting system, which allows you to easily attach a Vizio soundbar directly to the TV with no gap. It’s at a fairly low price for a 4K TV this size.

The Sony ULT Field 1 is an amenable companion for a trip to the pool or the beach. It’s pleasant sounding with a strong, impactful bass ideal for summer tunes. It doesn’t play super loud, but that’s largely a function of its modest size. It boasts an IP 67 rating, which means it’s well sealed from sand and dirt, and can take a modest dunking. 

This slim 3.1-2-channel Dolby Atmos Yamaha soundbar delivers satisfying sound; the main enclosure includes upfiring drivers to create a sense of height when used with Dolby Atmos soundtracks or music. The system, which includes a separate wireless subwoofer, can be expanded to a full surround-sound system by adding optional battery-powered wireless rear speakers. It has both WiFi and Bluetooth, plus built-in Alexa for controlling the soundbar with your voice.

The Asus Vivobook 16 isn’t flashy, but it covers the basics really well, especially for this price. It gets top marks for portability and ergonomics, making it a great pick for students or remote workers who value comfort and a lightweight build. Performance and display are average, but with a roomy 16-inch screen and solid all-around versatility, it’s worth a look. Just note that it was recently $80 less and will likely be cheaper during the next big sale.

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a premium 2-in-1 with a 360-degree hinge that lets you rotate the screen for use as a traditional laptop or a tablet, knocking out a report at your desk or sketching notes on the couch. The bundled stylus is handy for handwriting and drawing. Thin, light, and built to last a full workday away from an outlet, this is the sort of machine that earns its keep if you’re frequently on the move or travel for work. It sits at the higher end of our laptop ratings, so you’re paying for the flexibility and the display quality.

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 has a 14-inch screen that you can fold back to use as a tablet. Its display is brighter than most, which makes it ideal for reading outside on a sunny day. That said, its battery life is longer than that of many other Chromebooks, lasting 15.75 hours in web browsing tests and 12 hours in video playback. Performance speeds are among the top in our rated Chromebooks, making this a great pick for a variety of uses.

Looking for a lightweight tablet to read on the beach or accompany you on summer travels? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is $75 less than it was earlier this month. It has a crisp 11-inch display, plus a decent camera and reasonable battery life, too. It doesn’t offer quite the same power as the newer Galaxy Tab S11 (also on sale this week), but for everyday tasks, the Tab S10 FE will do just fine.

The TP-Link Tapo C120 is an affordable outdoor security camera that offers impeccable performance for its price. It also offers a ton of features and doesn’t require a subscription to take advantage of them. Those features include activity zones, AI alerts (for people, pets, and vehicles), color night vision, two-way audio, built-in spotlights, and local video storage using up to a 512GB microSD card (not included).

The TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim EP25 is one of the most versatile smart plugs on the market, offering energy monitoring and compatibility with all four major smart home systems: Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. It’s also very easy to use and set up based on our expert evaluations, and it offers decent data security. This four-pack is down to the lowest price we’ve seen for it.

Google’s newest smart thermostat, the Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen, comes with a remote temperature sensor that you can place in another room to balance heating and cooling. It’s one of just a few Matter-compatible smart thermostats on the market, meaning it works with any major smart home system, including Apple Home.

The Arlo Video Doorbell 2K is versatile: You can run it using the rechargeable battery or hardwire it to a home’s doorbell wiring for continuous power. Features include geofencing and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as alerts for people, packages, animals, and vehicles) require an Arlo Secure subscription.

This doorbell was on sale for the lowest price we’ve ever seen ($28.50) on Prime Day, but it is still a nice discount.

If you’re looking to future-proof your home network, the Netgear Orbi 770 is a top-performing WiFi 7 router worth a look. It delivers excellent speeds in our tests, even at longer ranges, and setup is refreshingly simple. Security protections are solid, but privacy settings could be better.

Sold as a three-piece mesh system, this TP-Link Deco model offers outstanding value, balancing wide coverage with a lower price. It scores very well in our tests, as it’s simple to install and provides a strong, secure signal that can cover a large, multistory home. The system includes six Ethernet ports across the three units—handy for hardwiring key devices—but doesn’t include any USB ports. This model supports WiFi 6, making it a smart and highly effective upgrade for most families.

Our testers often sing the praises of black-and-white laser printers, especially for anyone who prints a lot of text documents and not much else. The models are more reliable and far cheaper to use than a standard color inkjet. This model from Canon produces crisp, clear text and does it fast. It has auto-duplexing for easy two-sided printing and wireless printing, so you don’t have to plug your laptop into the unit. Plus, it’s compact enough to fit nicely in a small space.
