Headphones and earbuds
Amazon and Best Buy are selling the latest AirPods for around $99 ($31 off), which matches their best price to date. Apple’s entry-level earbuds improve on previous models with better sound, delivering a thicker layer of bass than earlier models even with their open-style design. They also boast the Voice Isolation feature found in the latest AirPods Pro, which produces significantly clearer call quality. Read our review.
You can also pick up the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for around $148.99 ($21 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is about $10 shy of their all-time low. While their noise cancellation doesn’t quite match the AirPods Pro, they still deliver impressive performance for the price. They also offer a natural-sounding transparency mode for when you want to let outside noise in, along with wireless charging. The included charging case has been updated with a built-in speaker, too, one that can emit a sound when you’re trying to find it via Apple’s Find My app. Read our review.
Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are available starting at $399.99 ($30 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. The over-ears drown out noise well and deliver excellent sound, which is just one of the reasons they’re amongst our favorite pair of noise-canceling headphones. They’re also comfortable and fold down for easy storage, making them particularly great for frequent travelers. Read our review.
Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store for $189 ($40 off), which is $10 shy of their all-time low. The wireless earbuds are our top picks for Pixel device owners, building upon the original model with a lighter design, improved ANC, and an extended 12 hours of battery life with noise cancellation turned off. They also offer support for several Pixel-exclusive features — including head tracking spatial audio — and let you directly access Google’s Gemini AI assistant. Read our review.
Speaker deals
If you prefer a smaller smart speaker, you can pick up the Sonos Era 100 from Amazon, Sonos, and Best Buy for $179 ($20 off), which matches its best price to date. Although it’s not portable like the Move 2, it’s small enough to fit most places and still delivers rich, full-bodied sound. The Wi-Fi / Bluetooth speaker also supports Sonos’ Trueplay tuning and USB-C line-in, so you can connect wired devices using an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. Read our review.
Right now, the Sonos Era 300 is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos’ online storefront for $359 ($90 off), which is an all-time low. The hourglass-shaped speaker produces a more robust sound than the aforementioned Era 100, with support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. It also offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with support for USB-C line-in. Read our review.
The Sonos Roam 2 is available for an all-time low of $134 ($45 off) from Amazon, Sonos, and Best Buy. The second-gen smart speaker is waterproof, just like the original Roam, making it a great portable speaker for outdoor adventures. Unlike the original, however, the latest model offers a dedicated button for Bluetooth pairing and a more straightforward setup out of the box. Read our hands-on impressions.
You can buy the JBL Clip 5 at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from JBL for around $49.95 ($30 off), which nearly matches its best price to date. The tiny Bluetooth speaker boasts an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, along with an integrated carabiner, allowing you to easily clip it onto your backpack, handlebars, and other belongings. Despite its diminutive size, the speaker offers good audio and even stereo sound when paired with compatible JBL speakers.
Home entertainment deals
The Sonos Arc Ultra is on sale for $899 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos’ online storefront.

Amazon’s latest Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is $7 shy of its lowest price to date and the best price we’ve seen this year. Not only does the 4K-capable streaming device support Dolby Atmos and integrate well with Alexa, but it’s also faster than its predecessor, offers twice the amount of storage, and even displays widgets when idle.
Smart home deals
You can grab Amazon’s Smart Air Quality Monitor for $54.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. The inexpensive device sends alerts when it detects a drop in air quality and allows you to automate actions via Alexa Routines in response. This means you can use it to turn on or adjust a range of Alexa-enabled devices, from air purifiers to smart thermostats. Read our original review.
You can buy two battery-powered Ring Outdoor Cam Plus security cameras for $139.98 ($40 off) at Amazon, which marks a new low price. Amazon is also selling a three-pack for $209.97 ($50 off) and four for $279.96 ($60 off).

The Google Nest Doorbell (battery) is on sale for $129.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Like the Nest Doorbell (wired) — one of our favorite doorbell cameras — it offers a 145-degree field of view so you can see your full porch, along with 960 x 1280-pixel resolution. It also works well with Google Assistant, Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings, but it’s slightly bigger and doesn’t offer 24/7 recording.
The Amazon Smart Thermostat is on sale for $62.99 ($17 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Compatible with most 24-volt HVAC systems, the budget-friendly thermostat adapts to your habits and preferences over time through its support for Hunches, allowing you to set it and forget it. It also integrates well with Alexa, making it a solid option if you don’t need built-in temperature sensors and support for voice assistants beyond Alexa. Read our review.
Amazon is selling a single Eero Max 7 unit for $479.99 ($120 off), a pair for $919.99 ($230 off), or three for $1,359.99 ($340 off). Those are some of the best prices we’ve seen on the mesh Wi-Fi 7 router, which offers fast wireless speeds and a pair of 10-gigabit ethernet ports for high-bandwidth wired networks.

Smartwatch and fitness tracker deals
The latest Apple Watch SE is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart in its 41mm / GPS configuration starting at $169 ($80 off), which is $20 shy of its all-time low. The second-gen SE tracks essential metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep quality while offering extra conveniences, including fall / crash detection and Apple Pay. It also delivers relatively snappy performance thanks to Apple’s S8 chip, making it a solid entry-level option even if it lacks the Series 10’s larger display and advanced health sensors. Read our review.
Google, Amazon, and Best Buy are all selling the Fitbit Charge 6 for $119.99 ($40 off). The solid fitness tracker enables you to track a variety of metrics, including stress, blood oxygen levels, and a range of fitness activities. However, the latest model also supports Google Wallet and turn-by-turn navigation via Google Maps, along with the ability to pair with certain gym equipment over Bluetooth. Read our review.
Garmin, Amazon, and Best Buy are selling its 41mm Venu 3S, our favorite Garmin smartwatch, for an all-time low of $349.99 ($100 off). It combines smart features like contactless payments with a welcome array of health features, including abnormal heart rate alerts and fall detection. Garmin has also added a mic and speaker, allowing you to take calls; however, you will still need your smartphone, as the 3S lacks built-in cellular connectivity. Read our review.
Tablet and e-reader deals
The latest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale starting at just $139.99 ($40 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches the e-reader’s best price to date. The ad-free e-reader is identical to the standard Kindle Paperwhite, offering the same IPX8 water resistance and seven-inch 300ppi display but with optional parental controls. It also comes with a two-year hardware protection plan, a case, and six months of Amazon Kids Plus, making it a better value than the standard Paperwhite in some ways.
You can buy the Google Pixel Tablet from Amazon, Best Buy, and Google starting at $299 ($100 off), which is just $20 shy of its all-time low. The 11-inch tablet offers good value for the money, with a crisp LCD display and a four-speaker sound array. It also runs on the same Tensor G2 chip found in Google’s Pixel 7 lineup, meaning it’s more than fast enough for streaming, browsing the web, and carrying out other typical tablet tasks. It also works great as an ad hoc smart display if you purchase it with the optional speaker dock, which is available for $399 ($100 off) at Amazon. Read our review.
