Best Deals on Tech Products Right Now

While Apple claims the AirPods 4 are improved over the AirPods 3, our testers were less impressed. They’re still solid headphones if you prefer not to have eartips stuck in your ear. The fit, despite Apple’s tweaks, is pretty much the same, as is the sound. These headphones were $15 less for Black Friday, but this is still a nice price if you missed that sale, and it’s only available at Walmart.

If you want earbuds but don’t like the feel of plugged-up ears, these Bose Ultra Open headphones are a unique option. They hook on your ear, just above the lobe, kind of like a cuff-style earring. They sound surprisingly good, too, once you get the placement just right. And it’s totally easy to hear things around you with a clarity that the "transparency" mode of most earbuds can’t match.

The AirPods Max sound really good and have superb and flexible noise-canceling tech. They have a high-performing transparency mode to pipe in outside sound, as well as spatial audio capability. But the biggest selling point might be the distinctive design and premium feel we’ve all come to expect from an Apple product.

We saw these headphones drop to $399 on Black Friday, but this is the lowest price around right now.

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.

This wireless Bluetooth iPod/iPad/cellphone-centric headphone from JBL is a solid pick. The JBL Tune 660NC delivers very good sound quality and excellent active noise reduction. These headphones have a closed design, so they will provide some muffling of external noises and also reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the headphones.

The Pixel Watch 3 has many of the same pros as its predecessor, also on sale below—an elegant design, as well as seamless compatibility with the Pixel phone and full Google ecosystem. In our testing, the model barely beats out the original, thanks to a slightly more robust suite of health features, like automatic workout detection and heart rate variability tracking. It also can give you a more holistic look at your health, with daily Readiness and Sleep scores. The Pixel Watch is also catching up to other high-end smartwatches with strong scores for ease of use, readability in bright and low light, and heart rate accuracy.

The Fitbit Charge line routinely features great general-purpose trackers, and the Charge 6 is no exception. It offers a 1.1-inch full-color display and a range of tools that help you stay on top of your health, everything from stress monitoring to an ECG (electrocardiogram) function that can alert you to irregular heart rhythms.

The Versa 4 is a great fit for fans of Fitbit 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 77-inch OLED77C5PUA is LG’s midtier OLED TV for 2025, and it’s among the best sets you can buy, with great picture quality, high dynamic range, and sound. It features numerous gaming capabilities, including a 144Hz refresh rate. But note that most retailers have been selling it for about $2,700 in recent weeks, not $3,700.

The Samsung QN65S84FA is a 2025 OLED TV that appears to be exclusive to Best Buy. It’s well-priced for its performance, with excellent overall picture quality and very good HDR performance. It also has very good sound. It comes with most of Samsung’s TV features, including support for object-tracking sound and Dolby Atmos immersive audio.

This 55-inch Hisense smart TV, a new model for 2025, is an entry-level QLED set that nonetheless delivers a satisfying picture, although it lacks the brightness to provide 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 may want to consider adding a soundbar. It utilizes the Amazon Fire TV smart system with Alexa built in. This is $50 more than the lowest price we saw last year, but it’s still a decent deal for a midsized TV.

The Amazon Fire TV Cube is a mashup of an Amazon Echo and a 4K Fire TV streamer. Its universal remote control capabilities let you control a host of other compatible A/V gear, including TVs, soundbars, receivers, and even some cable and satellite boxes. New features include HDMI 2.1 connections—one input and one output—for controlling other devices using your voice. (One cool trick is that the Cube will also upscale any content from a source connected to its HDMI input.) Other features include support for WiFi 6E, support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and an Off button that disconnects the microphones if you don’t want the device in an always-listening mode.

The Soundlink Max is a modestly sized portable that delivers. The sound quality is satisfying with deep, impactful bass, though our testers find that the Max can become harsh at high volumes. Bose speakers go on sale less frequently than other brands’ products, so even though this is $30 more than the Black Friday price, it is still worth a look.

The JBL Flip 7 is a classic do-it-all speaker. It’s small enough to stuff into a bag, but delivers enough sound to provide background music at a barbecue. It’s IP68 water-resistant and dust-proof, and the company claims you can drop it onto a concrete floor from a height of one meter and it’ll keep working. Also, according to JBL, it delivers 16 hours of music on a single charge. This is the sale price for the black model. You’ll find other options available for roughly $110. All represent a decent value, especially if you think there’s a good chance you’ll be abusing your new speaker more than a little.

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. This is the price for the black model. Others are priced at $95 to $100.

The Bose Smart Soundbar is a Dolby Atmos model that delivers decent overall sound, making it suitable for both music and movie soundtrack playback for more casual listeners. It’s a full-featured, 3.0.2 nonsurround model that can be expanded into a full 5.1.2-channel surround system. It can also be used as part of a multi-room WiFi audio system. It features Amazon Alexa built-in and works with Google Assistant (via the Google Home app on a mobile device and/or an optional Google smart speaker). It also has Bluetooth wireless connectivity for streaming audio from a portable device.

The Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar that delivers satisfying sound, so it’s a good choice for both movies and music. The model supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive sound, and the main enclosure has upfiring drivers for height sounds. The soundbar features Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing you to stream audio from portable devices.

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 a strong value at $549.99 (down from $749.99).

Samsung’s Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a premium 2-in-1 laptop that flips between tablet and clamshell modes with ease. It features a gorgeous OLED touchscreen, a thin-and-light build, and long battery life. Normally $1,699, it’s down to $1,399 for Prime Day, which is a solid deal on a Windows convertible.

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.

The latest MacBook Air with M4 chip continues Apple’s streak of making truly compelling laptops. While we technically tested the 15-inch model, we expect this 13-inch version to deliver the same top-tier performance and all-day battery life. It’s an ideal choice for travelers or students who need power in a significantly smaller package. You might miss having the extra screen real estate of its big brother, but the speed of the M4 chip and the sharp Retina display make this a standout deal all the same.

If you’re curious about switching to a Mac or simply tired of Windows, the 2024 Mac Mini is the most affordable entry point into the Apple ecosystem, provided you already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard on hand. It is also a fantastic, low-stakes machine for anyone looking to get their feet wet with iOS programming; it runs Xcode (Apple’s app development software) beautifully, making it a great gift for a budding developer or a student.

It’s still available for its Cyber Monday price.

This two-meter cord, designed for the iPhone 5 through the iPhone 14, survived 11,500 bends without failing in the rig we created to test charging cord durability. That’s the equivalent of more than six years’ worth of use, according to our estimates.

For avid iPad users, a stylus can help you easily navigate menus, jot down notes, or create advanced digital art. The premium Apple Pencil Pro comes with all the bells and whistles, like haptic feedback, Find My capability, and pressure sensitivity. Note that this stylus is only compatible with certain iPad Pro and Air models. 

The Apple Pencil USB-C doesn’t offer quite as many features as the Apple Pencil Pro, but it’s still a great add-on for your iPad if you plan to sketch or take notes. The USB-C model doesn’t support pressure sensitivity, meaning the thickness of your lines won’t vary based on how hard you press down, but it writes smoothly and accurately and can attach to the side of your iPad for easy storage. This model is compatible with the latest generation iPad A16 and the newest iPad Pro and Air models.

If you’re looking for a versatile printer for your home office, the HP Smart Tank 7602 ticks a lot of boxes: It’s an all-in-one model, which means it can handle copying and scanning, too. It delivers high-quality text and graphics, though at a slightly slower rate than some other options. And, because you refill the “tanks” with bottled ink instead of pricey cartridges, ongoing ink costs remain super low. The price for this printer has gone up $30 since Cyber Monday.

If you don’t need to print in color, the Canon imageClass MF267dw is one of the least expensive all-in-one laser printers to purchase and maintain, according to our testers. This printer, which typically sells for about $220, spits out black-and-white text with impressive speed and quality. The model also delivers many of the convenient features you find in a full-blown office printer: a document feeder, a second paper tray, and auto-duplexing, which allows you to print on both sides of a sheet, saving money and the planet. One drawback: Like other laser printers, it’s a bit bulky for the family room, so be sure to note the dimensions.

The Arlo Essential 2K (VMC3050-100NAS) is one of Arlo’s most 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 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.

The TP-Link Tapo D210 is one of the most affordable doorbell cameras in our ratings, and it outperforms many of the more expensive models. The doorbell is battery-powered, meaning you don’t have to mess with doorbell wires, and it comes with a plug-in doorbell chime in the box. Features include activity zones, color night vision, local video storage on up to a 512GB microSD card (not included), person detection, pre-recorded responses to ask visitors to leave a message, and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Best of all, none of these features requires a subscription.

In the market for a phone upgrade? You’ll lose little by opting for last year’s iPhone 16, which performs nearly as well in our tests as Apple’s newest model. Expect a crisp, 6.1-inch display, impressive dual-rear camera system, and 37 hours of battery life, according to our tests.

The Apple iPhone 16e is Apple’s budget smartphone option. It’s a compact 6.1 inches, with reliable battery life and standout durability. You won’t get a particularly impressive camera when compared to other available iPhone models—the 16e doesn’t offer the 0.5x ultrawide option, for example—but it’s plenty powerful for most of us. This deal is for the unlocked model.

If you want all the typical iPhone pros—a high-res display, proven durability, and capable camera system—but with a bigger screen, last year’s 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus model is a solid pick. Best Buy’s Doorbuster deal is available on the unlocked model only.

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy lover and due for a phone upgrade, you can save more than $100 on the latest S25 smartphone. (The S25+ and S25 Ultra are also on sale, if you want a larger or more deluxe model.) Either way, expect a vibrant display and an excellent camera system.

We haven’t reviewed this exact model, but TP-Link routers generally perform very well in our ratings. And it’s rare to find a tri-band router, specifically one that supports WiFi 6E or newer, for less than $150. Unlike older routers that fight for space on crowded channels, this one opens up the 6GHz band. Think of this as a brand-new, empty express lane on the highway that only cutting-edge devices (like the latest phones and laptops) can use. If you live in an apartment building or a dense neighborhood where your neighbors’ WiFi slows yours down, this is the most cost-effective way to bypass the congestion.
