Walmart has joined Amazon and Best Buy on the list of major retailers with solid Labor Day sales. Ahead of the Sept. 1 holiday, you can find deals on headphones, TVs, speakers, laptops, and more from big brands. I used price tracking tools to make sure these tech deals were legit and compiled a list of the best to make your shopping a little easier. Here are some of the best deals so far.
Gaming Monitor
The Samsung Odyssey G70B 28″ Gaming Monitor is an ultra-wide gaming monitor with high resolution, performance, and a 27-inch Ultra HD panel that lets you play games in 4K resolution and listen to audio thanks to built-in speakers. The monitor is currently priced at $299 (originally $699.99), which is an impressive discount.
Discounted TVs
I’ve had the pleasure of testing the TCL QM6K Google QLED TV in person for a couple of months. It’s hard to believe that it’s considered a budget model, given its quality . The 65-inch model is now priced at $549.99 (originally $998), a budget price for a great QLED TV.
For those looking to splurge on an OLED TV, the LG C5 65-inch OLED TV is priced at $1,496.99 (original price: $1,779). 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 excellent picture quality, as you’d expect from any OLED TV, great gaming performance, and excellent contrast even in bright rooms.
Flagship headphones
If you’re in the market for new active noise-canceling headphones, there are some great options on sale right now. The WH-1000XM4 start at $199 (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 .
Apple’s AirPods Max are great active noise-canceling earbuds that are on par with the best Bluetooth headphones available today. They’re currently priced at $479.99 (originally $549). There’s a new version for 2024, with new colors and a USB-C port for charging. If you’re part of the Apple ecosystem and want to stay in it, get the AirPods Max. You can read more about these earbuds in PCMag’s review .
The Shokz OpenRun headphones may not be the latest model (the first was the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2) , but both are still great bone conduction headphones. They’re currently available for $89.95 (originally $129.95) — a great price for a reliable pair of waterproof headphones that let you hear the world around you.
Beats headphones are well known for their style and superior compatibility with Apple devices. This includes their flagship Beats Studio Pro headphones, which are now priced at $179.95 (originally $349.95). PCMag gave them a “Good” rating , praising their sculpted sound, comfort, premium accessories, and spatial audio with head tracking.
Portable speaker JBL
I’ve been using the JBL Flip 6 for listening to music in my home office for a few months now and I’m very pleased. These speakers are easy to use, portable, have that signature JBL sound, and are fully compatible with all the companion app features of the more expensive JBL models. You can get them for $84.99 (originally $129.95).
Classic Smart Watch
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic , coming in 2023, packs top-notch specs and features . PCMag magazine calls the Galaxy Watch 6 “superb” and calls it the best Android-compatible smartwatch of 2023. If you’re a Samsung (or Android-only) user looking for a great deal on a quality smartwatch, you can get the Galaxy Watch 6 classic for $244 (originally $399.99).
Solar Powered CCTV Camera That Doesn’t Require a Subscription
Ever since my home was broken into, I’ve been looking for the best solar camera for the money, and one that doesn’t require a subscription. The AOSU 2K Solar Security Camera is that solution for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-install, reliable, 360-degree solar camera without a subscription. It’s available for $69.99 (originally $110), which is an impressive value for the money.
