Labor Day sales are here, and there are plenty of great deals on Amazon. To make your life a little easier, I’ve rounded up the best ones I could find.
Headphones
If you’re in the market for new active noise-canceling headphones, there are some good options at deep discounts. The WH-1000XM4 start at $198 (originally $349.99). They’re not as fancy as the XM6, but they’re still a great headphone that’s powerful enough for most people. You can read more about them in PCMag’s “outstanding” review .
For those willing to spend more on premium headphones, the Sonos Ace is worth a look, especially if you’re already familiar with the Sonos ecosystem. But even if you’re not, these are great headphones for both Android and Apple users. They’re available for $299 (originally $399). You can read more about them in PCMag’s “excellent” review .
TVs
I’ve had the pleasure of personally testing the new TCL QM6K QLED TV for a couple of months. It’s hard to believe it’s considered a budget TV, given its quality . The 55-inch model now starts at $446.99 (originally $698 at launch).
For those looking to splurge on an OLED TV, the 55-inch LG C5 is priced at $1,296.99 (originally $1,799.99) and the 65-inch is priced at $1,496.99 (originally $2,696.99). This OLED model came out this year, and it’s great to see it at such a big discount . According to CNET’s review , it has the excellent picture quality you’d expect from an OLED TV, great gaming performance, and excellent contrast even in bright rooms.
Pills
The Pixel Tablet is Google’s answer to the iPad, but it’s designed for both Apple and Android users, and it’s much cheaper. It can also function as a smart display when connected to a charging dock with speakers. It’s perfect for use on the kitchen counter or in the living room as a hub. At $249 (originally $399), it’s a great choice if you’re already invested in the Google ecosystem.
If you’re an Apple user looking to get the most bang for your buck outside of an iPad, consider the iPad Pro . It’s essentially a laptop in a tablet form factor. With an M4 processor — more powerful than most laptops — it delivers performance that can handle even the most demanding tasks without a hitch. The 11-inch version is currently priced at its lowest ever, at $894.99 , according to price trackers .
Set of drills
For DIYers, the Dewalt Power Drill Combo Kit includes a DeWalt MAX 20V drill with a ½-inch chuck, a MAX 20V impact driver with a ¼-inch chuck, two MAX 20V 2-amp batteries, a MAX 20V charger, and a tool bag. The impact driver lets you work on hard surfaces like brick, block, or metal (when used with the right drill bits). Having two batteries and drills also means you get double the power without having to stop and recharge. The kit costs $179 (originally $259).
Soundbar
A soundbar is a must-have for any home theater enthusiast. For those who value sophistication but still want a minimalist look, the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar offers the best sound without having to invest in a full-fledged surround sound system. It delivers powerful, rich audio with relatively strong bass without a subwoofer (though you can add one if you want). Plus, it has all three major voice assistants built in (Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Amazon Alexa) for easy Wi-Fi streaming. It’s available for $699 (originally $899). You can read more about it in PCMag’s review .
AirTags
AirTag works with a network of Apple iOS devices to create a Bluetooth tracker. Essentially, every iPhone (or iPad) owner is part of this iOS network, and once one of those users is within Bluetooth range of your AirTag, it will show up as the last location in the Find My app. You can get a pack of four for $69.99 (originally $99).
