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.

No, the Beats Studio Buds + don’t carry the Apple name, but they’re close relatives. Apple owns Beats by Dre, and you can buy these true wireless earbuds at the Apple Store. Like AirPods, they’re sleek and stylish, and work seamlessly with an iPhone or another Apple device. So if you don’t want or need the hearing-test or hearing-aid features of the AirPods Pro, the Studio Buds + offer satisfying sound and impressive noise-canceling performance at a lower price.

Macy’s has the lowest price on these, but only in the transparent version. They were $89 during Prime Day, but we likely won’t see that discount again until the Black Friday sales start.

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.

The Prime Day price of $179 has passed, but you can save a little bit if you’re still shopping for these.

In the words of the Philosopher-King/Bombastic Rock God 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.

There’s a lot to like about the Bose QuietComfort, over-the-ear, noise-canceling headphone. It sits second in Bose’s lineup but performs a lot like the top-of-the-line QuietComfort Ultra. The model provides sound quality that’s pleasant if not quite up to the very best headphones in this category, but the noise cancellation, as is typical of Bose, is truly superb. Since Bose devices don’t routinely receive big discounts, this deal is well worth a look.

These have stayed at the same price since Prime Day.

If you’re looking for high-value noise-canceling headphones, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus represents a very solid option. The model typically retails for around $180 these days, and it’s currently down to the best price we’ve seen. Our testers find these headphones to be amiable companions, with robust bass, neutral midrange, and that sense of lively openness that makes really good headphones fun to listen to. They’re also comfy, both pleasantly light in weight and snug in fit in a way that works for most of our testers, though those with large heads and/or prominent ears may want to buy from a retailer with a friendly return policy.

While these were $10 less during Prime Day, you’re still saving $120 on a pricey pair of great headphones.

If you’re in the market for a premium noise-canceling headphone that feels a little, well, unique, there’s a lot to like about this Dyson On-Trac model. Yes, it’s made by the vacuum cleaner company, but Dyson dismisses the doubters with over-the-ear phones with superb sound. Like many Dyson products, this one sports elegant, upscale styling and a festive use of color. Better yet, the headphones are now back down to the best price we’ve seen.

These headphones were just $249.99 for Prime Day, but Amazon has the lowest price out there right now.

If what you want is a slim, reliable fitness tracker that keeps tabs on the basics—like your sleep, step count, and heart rate—the Fitbit Inspire 3 is a good buy at this price. It also has a convenient 10-day claimed battery life.

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. 

If you want a sleek, do-everything smartwatch that pairs seamlessly with your iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 11 is a great pick. It can do all the basics well, like tracking your sleep, workouts, steps, heart rate, and more. It also offers a few health features that the budget SE 3 doesn’t, such as hypertension monitoring, electrocardiogram readings to detect an irregular heart rhythm, and a blood-oxygen sensor.

The Galaxy Watch8 is a solid all-around pick for anyone who owns a Galaxy phone. It features a bright 1.3-inch AMOLED display and offers Samsung’s latest health, fitness, and safety features, from swimming stroke analysis to daily sleep and energy scores. The battery life is in line with most high-end smartwatches, so expect daily charging. 

The 75-inch Hisense 75QD7QF is a lower midlevel Mini LED TV that performs well for overall picture quality, but its high dynamic range performance is limited. (It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.) It uses the Amazon Fire TV smart platform with Alexa built in.

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.

Looking for a lower-priced but high-performing 4K OLED TV? Check out this deal on the Samsung QN65S84FA, which we only see at Best Buy. The TV, a 2025 model, does great in our picture quality tests. Its HDR performance was just a bit below the best sets in our ratings.

The 65-inch LG OLED65C5PUA, a 2025 set, is a top-notch TV, offering and excellent balance of price and performance. Like other LG TVs, this set supports Dolby Vision HDR, but not HDR10+. In addition to compelling picture quality, it has above-average sound.

The Samsung QN65S90F is one of CR’s top-rated sets, among the best TVs you can buy, especially at this price. It’s a 65-inch midlevel 2025 OLED TV that uses a QD-OLED panel. It delivers a compelling HDR experience, with support for HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision.

Although we didn’t test this set, this is a great price for a 100-inch 4K model with some nice step-up features, including a Mini LED backlight that can help boost contrast and black levels. The set has a native 144Hz refresh rate, and the latest Dolby Vision and HDR10+ high dynamic range formats. This is one of the newer Hisense TVs that use the Amazon Fire TV smart system, with Alexa built in.

Part of Samsung’s step-up lifestyle series dubbed The Frame, the Samsung QN65LS03FW offers a nice balance of design and performance. It’s a Neo QLED TV, meaning it has both quantum dots for a wider range of colors and a Mini LED backlight that can boost contrast and black levels. When you’re not watching TV, its Gallery mode can display artwork and photos. Connections are made via a wireless One Connect box.

The Samsung QN55S85F is the company’s entry-level QD-OLED TV from 2025, and it performs very well in our tests for both picture quality and HDR. It also has satisfying sound. Like other Samsung OLED TVs, it supports HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision HDR, and its Tizen smart TV platform includes both Bixby and Alexa voice assistants.

The Hisense 65UR8 is one of the new “RGB Mini LED TVs,” which use red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight to provide a very wide range of colors. We didn’t test this set, but we did test the flagship UR9 models in both 65- and 75-inch screen sizes, and both performed well overall, with exceptional HDR performance. (Hisense TVs support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.) This set uses the Google TV smart system, with Google Assistant.

This set, a 2026 65-inch QLED Mini LED TV that uses the Amazon Fire TV smart system, is a Best Buy exclusive. We didn’t test this set, but we did test the Hisense 65U6HF, which did well for overall picture quality. The main difference is that the SF sets feature Mini LED backlights, which could improve contrast and black levels.

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. 

Portable wireless speakers often take a beating, rattling around in the bottom of a backpack or getting knocked off a picnic table—all of which argues for a modestly priced speaker like the JBL Flip 7. The model boasts decent bass, adequate volume, and satisfying sound quality. The 12-hour battery life claimed by JBL is long enough for even your epic 81-song Abba to ZZ Top playlist. And with an IPX7 rating, the Flip 7 is not only splashproof and spillproof but also totally dunkable, according to the manufacturer. One other cool feature: If you buy the Flip 7 from JBL, you can have it personalized, choosing the color and printing your own image or text on the grill.

The Sony HT-A8000, also called the Bravia Theater Bar 8, is a premium all-in-one 5.0.2 Dolby Atmos/DTS:X soundbar that delivers very enjoyable overall sound. It features 11 drivers, including four front-facing woofers and three tweeters, plus a pair of side-firing midrange drivers and two upfiring drivers for height sounds and effects. You can add optional wireless rear speakers and a separate wireless subwoofer to create a true surround-sound setup.

The Samsung HW-QS700F is a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos model with commendable overall sound, so it’s a good choice for both movies and music. It has upfiring drivers for Atmos sound, and a separate wireless subwoofer. It can be positioned flush against the wall or flat on a table, with a built-in gyro that will automatically reorient the speaker’s sound. It has Samsung’s Q-Symphony feature, which lets you use both the TV speakers and soundbar simultaneously.

The Polk Audio MagniFi Max AX is a full-featured 5.1.2-channel model, which has decent overall sound, includes both a dedicated center channel and upfiring drivers in the main enclosure for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive sound. You can add rear speakers via an optional Polk rear satellite speaker kit. The model comes with a wireless subwoofer, three HDMI inputs so you can switch devices, and support for both Bluetooth and WiFi

The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is an all-in-one 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos model that delivers decent overall sound. It’s the company’s flagship model; although it has built-in subwoofers, it lacks an outboard one to increase bass response. It does have two upfiring drivers for Dolby Atmos height effects. It has the Amazon Alexa voice assistant built in. It comes with a headband with microphones that work with Bose’s AdaptiQ calibration feature, or you can use the soundbar’s mics.

The Samsung HW-Q800F a 2025 model, is a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos/DTS:X soundbar that delivers satisfying sound for less money than its replacement, the Samsung HW-Q800H. It features upfiring drivers that create a sense of height with Dolby Atmos audio. You can also add optional rear satellite speakers to create a true surround-sound system. You can connect the soundbar to your TV via HDMI or digital optical audio, and it features the company’s Q-Symphony technology, which allows it to work with a Samsung TV’s speakers.

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.

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy lover due for an upgrade, you can nab a deal on the new Samsung Galaxy 26. (The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also on sale, if you want a larger, more premium model.) Expect a vibrant display and first-rate camera system, our testers say. The prices listed here are for the 256GB models; the 512GB versions of the S26 are also being discounted.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is a pint-sized, foldable phone that easily stows in your pocket but flips open to reveal a high-quality 6.9-inch display. The cover screen, which remains visible even when the device is closed, shows notifications, dynamic widgets, and your personalized wallpaper. The camera quality and battery life are both impressive. The prices listed here are for 256GB phones.

Looking for a lightweight tablet to read on the beach or accompany you on summer travels? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 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 Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ offers the same strong performance and reliable battery life as the Tab S10 FE, but with a larger 13-inch screen. All the better for watching shows, playing games, or guiding you through your travels.  

The Yale Assure Lock 2 is a keyless smart lock that connects to directly to WiFi (no hub needed), and you can control it remotely when you’re not home. With the included Yale WiFi Smart Module (an $80 value) it also supports Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings.

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.

The Meross MSG100 is one of the best smart garage door opener controllers from our at-home evaluation. It’s relatively easy to set up and install, and works with all of the major smart-home systems (Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings). It’s down to its usual sale price, last seen in late March.

The new Google TV Streamer (4K) has a sleek look, a fast processor, support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio. It also gets twice as much memory (4GB) and four times the storage (32GB) as the Chromecast model it replaces. The player has a remote-find feature, and it leverages Google’s AI to make program recommendations. You’ll save about $5 off its usual selling price.

This Digiroot stylus is a low-cost option for taking notes or doodling on an iPad. It’s a bit challenging to control for detailed art, though. It offers palm rejection (allowing you to rest your arm on the device while working) and tilt support (recognizing the angle at which you’re holding the stylus), but no pressure sensitivity, so you can’t change the line weight based on how hard you press. The model charges via USB-C and doesn’t require pairing. Just turn it on and write away. And, unlike other third-party options, this one can magnetically attach to the side of an iPad.

The Metapen Pencil A8 is the clear winner among the non-Apple styluses we evaluated. Widely compatible with iPads, it receives a rave review from our in-house illustrator, who planned to buy one for her own use. It offers palm rejection and tilt support. It’s easy to turn on—just double-tap the top—and it doesn’t require pairing with your iPad. Better yet, it draws like a dream, our illustrator says. She found it to be particularly accurate and smooth, but not “too slippery” against the display. “It feels like a real pen writing on real paper, which makes you feel like you’re in control,” she says. You have to charge the stylus via USB-C, but it can magnetically attach to the side of your iPad.
