It’s a small discount, but our favorite Bluetooth speaker very rarely drops below this price. The deal varies slightly by color, but almost all of them are on sale. The JBL Flip 7 is durable, with IP68 dust and water resistance. And it has impressive, clear, punchy sound and a long-lasting battery. You can even pair it with other JBL speakers.

The Sonos Roam 2 is the best smart speaker. It’s nice and compact, with IP67 dust and water resistance and a 10-hour battery life. It’s easy to pair with your phone and it has excellent sound to boot. You can control it hands-free with Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control.

This beefy power bank is our favorite upgrade pick, and this price comes within $10 of the lowest we’ve tracked. It’s stylish and has nifty features like two built-in USB-C cables and a display that shows remaining battery, temperatures, charging rate, and battery health. The 25,000-mAh capacity and up to 165-watt delivery means it can top off your laptop, phone, or tablet on-the-go.

The Razer Blade 16 is the best gaming laptop overall. It’s got a sleek, clean aesthetic with thin bezels, a fantastic keyboard, a nice OLED screen, and a slim footprint. And while the 16 doesn’t feel obtrusive to travel with, it doesn’t skimp on performance. Graphics options range all the way up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, and base storage starts at 1 terabyte—though, in a first for Razer, you can only choose an AMD CPU. Get more nitty-gritty details in our full review.

PopSockets just dropped MagSafe cases for Kindles, letting you easily pop one of PopSocket’s popular grips onto the back. It’s a great way to customize your Kindle, and the new MagSafe cases make it easy to pop any PopGrip you like on and off the case. While the brand-new cases aren’t for sale, buying one gets you 30 percent off any PopGrip you add to your cart, letting you make a matching set like the Curled Up With a Good Book PopCase ($40) and PopGrip ($30), or mix and match to your heart’s desire. It only works for one PopGrip, but if you add multiple PopGrips to your cart, it’ll apply the discount to the most expensive one. My personal favorite is the Heart of Silver ($40) which you can get a $12 discount on, but most PopGrips are $30 and will get a $9 discount.—Nena Farrell

This is a match of the best deal we’ve tracked on the best wireless earbuds we’ve tested. The Nothing Ear (a) have a slick, clear case and a fun bright yellow color option. And they sound even better than they look, with great controls and EQ customizations available in the app. Round it all off with active noise canceling and long battery life, and you’ve got a recipe for some truly excellent buds. The discount makes them an even smarter purchase.

The TCL QM6K is the best TV for most people, according to our expert reviewers who spend hours and hours testing all the models they can get their hands on. This deal matches the best price we’ve seen for the 65-inch model, though other sizes are also discounted right now. There’s a lot to love about it. It’s got a uniform screen, great black levels, natural colors, and decent off-axis viewing. The Google TV operating system is easy to use, and there are bonus features for gamers too. The only thing we overtly dislike is the sound quality, but then again, you should have a soundbar anyway.

I love this power bank so much that I purchased another at full price after misplacing my first one. I bring it with me to every festival. It’s compact, but heavy, and it has a display that shows you power output, battery life, the charge level, and more. It’s great because of its large 24,000-mAh capacity and up to 140-watt delivery, and because of its 3 ports (two USB-C, one USB-A). But my favorite part is that the battery itself charges lightning-fast. It can be topped off from empty to full in just about an hour—no more waiting overnight for your power bank to be ready. The price is exclusive to Amazon Prime Members.

This deal is a match of the best we’ve seen for our top streaming stick pick. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus was just upgraded for 2025, and it’s great. It’s easy to set up, and the remote has voice controls so you can search by speaking. The interface is also very easy to navigate, and the gadget plugs right into the back of your TV’s HDMI port. If you’re on the hunt for a good 4K streaming stick, and you don’t care about the lack of Dolby Vision support, this is a solid deal.

This is a match of the best price we’ve seen for our favorite budget mesh Wi-Fi router. It supports Wi-Fi 6, which should still be fine for most people even though Wi-Fi 7 is already a thing. The Deco X20 has solid coverage and performance, especially with the three routers you’ll get with this deal (though singles and two-packs are also on sale if you’re in a small space). They’re easy to set up and they have optional parental controls and antivirus protection. You can also split the two 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Wi-Fi bands, which will help if you’re running any smart home devices that explicitly require one or the other.

The Sony Bravia 7 II has been on sale for this price for a little while, but we have yet to see it drop lower. It’s in our Best TVs buying guide as the pick with the most immersive picture. It has natural yet vivid colors and excellent picture processing. Reviewer Ryan Waniata says it renders 4K and HD scenes “so clearly you’ll feel like they’re going to spill into your living room.” It could have better black levels and a few more ports, but it’s still an excellent set, especially at this price.

The iPad Air is our favorite upgrade iPad. If you need an iPad that you can rely on for important tasks like work or school, this is a very safe bet. The M3 chip makes graphics-intensive tasks look great, and the design is nice and modern with Touch ID built into the power button and USB-C charging. This tablet can handle multiple tasks running in the background and it’ll get you about 10 hours of battery life per charge. If you want a smaller screen, the 11-inch version is also on sale for $449 ($150 off)—but we prefer the 13-inch. For more recommendations, check out our guide to the Best iPad Accessories.

The Apple iPad (A16, 2025) is the iPad we recommend for most people. It comes in fun colors like blue and yellow, and it’s plenty powerful to handle whatever you’ll throw at it on a day-to-day basis—from playing games to streaming videos to browsing the web. It doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, which may be a blessing or a curse depending on whom you ask. It does have a modern bezel design around its 11-inch LCD screen, plus USB-C charging, a Touch ID sensor, and two 12-megapixel cameras—one in the back and one for selfies. It also works with many of the best iPad accessories.

The M4 Apple MacBook Air is the best MacBook for most people. This is the cheapest we’ve seen it. Where some MacBooks are overkill for basic everyday tasks, this lightweight model can handle them with ease—and you won’t be paying for performance that you won’t use. It has a bright display, long battery life, and support for up to two external displays as well as Apple Intelligence. And while you might want something else if you’ll be doing heavy video editing or need a giant screen, the M4 MacBook Air will be capable of handling multiple Google Chrome tabs and apps running in the background. We do wish it had some more ports, but you can always use a USB hub to customize them further.

These are the best noise-canceling earbuds we’ve tried. They have excellent sound quality and battery life, plus solid control options, and they’re comfortable to wear for long periods of time. But where they truly excel is in active noise canceling. They can make a busy subway car or crowded airplane disappear entirely, lending you extra focus or decompression with no effort.

Courtesy of Fitbit

The Fitbit Charge 6 is the best fitness tracker overall. It has gone on sale for $100 in the past, but $125 is a pretty good deal, since it regularly jumps up to full price. It looks nice and has all the features most folks would want, like step counting, sleep tracking, stats on calories burned and workout effectiveness, heart rate readings, and insights into SpO₂ levels. It also has a long-lasting battery and integrations with Google Wallet and Google Maps (though it can be used with iOS devices as well as Android). Some of the better features are locked behind a subscription that costs $10 per month, but the gadget still works without that subscription.

This is a great deal for the best electronic sleepbuds, and you’ll also get a free travel case. The earbuds are comfortable to wear while you’re sleeping, and they have 10-hour battery life and passive noise cancelation as well as excellent audio quality. There’s a solid companion app, too, which lets you choose from different Sleep Sounds and access biometric data (which we have not yet tested).

This is a solid deal on the best laptop docking station. The Satechi Dual Dock Stand slightly elevates your laptop for better ergonomics, and it has a collection of ports, including three monitor outputs, several USB ports, and a solid-state drive enclosure. It connects to your laptop via two USB-C cables. If you don’t need a full-on docking station, check our guide to the Best USB Hubs.

Branch has made our favorite office chair for years. It has oodles of adjustable elements, including the arms, armrests, seat depth, recline, lumbar support, and seat tilt. The foam cushion seat is comfortable and the mesh backrest is supportive, too. The affordable price tag is icing on the cake, and while it doesn’t go on sale very often, you can save 10 percent until the sale ends with code LABORDAY.

If you don’t want to spring for the Ergonomic Chair Pro, this is the best budget-friendly office chair and an option worth considering. It’s very easy to assemble. and there are a few adjustable areas for a better fit—the armrests, seat, recline, and lumbar support can all be dialed in. There are some fun fabric color options, like blue and orange, though the upholstery does tend to pill and is a magnet for pet hair. Even with its quirks, it will be a definite upgrade if you’re still working from the ratty chair you picked up off Craigslist when you first built your home office.

Sitting all day is bad for you! This telescoping desk can be raised up as high as 45 inches, with simple setup and two available sizes. It comes in a few different finishes. The leg motors aren’t the quietest, but they work well, and the desk looks great in any setup. For additional recommendations, check our home office buying guide.

The Steelcase Gesture is the best premium office chair. The prices vary slightly depending on the color you choose, but most of them are discounted for Labor Day weekend. The Gesture is comfortable, with a cushy seat and elegant adjustment options. Assembly is easy, and there’s a 12-year warranty. Should you be looking for an office chair upgrade, and you want something a bit more luxurious than the Branch models we’ve mentioned, this is a choice worth considering.

This coupon code gets you 20 percent off almost everything on Humanscale’s website. Humanscale makes some of the best office chairs. The Freedom Headrest is the best reclining office chair, and it drops from $1,743 to $1,394 with code SEMIANNUAL20. Editor Julian Chokkattu said, “This chair gracefully supports my back like a mother gently laying a baby in a crib.” We also like the Humanscale Path, which is great for tight spaces and even comes in armless versions. It falls from $1,294 to $1,035 after code.

Ruggable makes our favorite machine-washable rugs. Each rug is a two-piece system, with a rug pad and a cover that attaches via Velcro. You can easily take the cover off and pop it in the washing machine, or switch it out for another Ruggable cover to redecorate without having to buy a new rug entirely. The covers are water- and stain-resistant, too. Nearly everything on the website is 25 percent off right now. Our favorite, the Pamir Ivory Multicolor Rug, is on sale for $277 ($92 off) in the 6×9 style.

There aren’t many things I’ve tested for work that I reach for every day. This is one of them. The ChomChom pet hair remover is beloved among almost all of the pet parents on the WIRED Reviews team. Simply swipe it back and forth across your furniture or carpets and be amazed at how much hair it collects. It works fast, it’s easy to empty, and it’s endlessly reusable. The price is right, too, coming within $7 of the lowest we’ve tracked.

The Traeger Woodridge Pro is an excellent smoker. It’s user-friendly, offering consistent temperature control with just a few buttons. It’s easy to clean when your cookout is over. It can reach temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and down to 180. We wish the app was a bit more detailed, but it isn’t required to produce delicious meals. (Seriously, just look at the photos in this review.)

Mouth tape isn’t for everyone, but Dream is the best we’ve tried. It’s soft, flexible, and breathable, and it stays secure throughout the night. It also doesn’t drop in price very often. If you want to try it out but want to spend a little less, we also liked the Dream Full mouth tape that’s on sale today too.

Ettitude makes the best cooling bamboo sheets. This sheet set feels soft and silky, but stays cool to the touch, making it a great option for hot sleepers. The sheets are breathable and lightweight, and they’re available in seven different colors to match your bedroom decor. There’s also a 60-day trial period so you can make sure you like them before committing.

The Silk & Snow S&S Organic Mattress is our favorite organic latex mattress. The latex-wrapped coils help to alleviate any tension or pressure points while you’re sleeping, and it’s especially great for side sleepers. You can also get two pillows or a sheet set for free with your purchase. Check our roundup of Labor Day Mattress Deals for additional expert recommendations.

The Buffy Breeze is one of my favorite comforters. It’s been on my bed since I started testing it more than 3 years ago. It’s cooling in the summer, and its lightweight warmth is just the right amount of comfy for hot nights. But in the winter, it still works well to keep you warm, especially if you throw another blanket on top of it. It isn’t officially marketed as down alternative, but I do like it as an alternative to down.

Need to upgrade your bedding? This sleep set from Buffy is a solid way to do it. You’ll get the Buffy Cloud Comforter, Breeze Sheet Set, Breeze Duvet Cover, and two Cloud Pillows at a 30 percent discount. WIRED reviewer and bedding expert Nena Farrell uses the Cloud Comforter for almost all of her testing. She recommends the Breeze sheets in our cooling sheets buying guide, and the Cloud pillow in our pillows buying guide.

This is one of our favorite organic mattresses and it’s extremely customizable. Each side can have different levels of firmness—so if you prefer firm, but your bed partner prefers soft, you’ll both be set. There’s a cover that zips over the whole system, and you get a 100-night trial to swap the latex layers out so you can fine-tune your desired firmness. The mattress is made of organic cotton, latex, and wool, and it has the certifications we look for in organic mattresses.

This is one of the best down comforters I’ve tried, and you can get it on sale ahead of the colder months ahead. It has that classic, hotel-like, crinkly, starchy shell, with fluffy down insides that stay inside. The baffle box construction and Hutterite down clusters help ensure that you never have to worry about your blanket’s insulation shifting around in your sleep. It stays warm all night, and it’s soft enough that you don’t really need a duvet cover.

This is the bed frame I’m currently using, and I love it very much. Assembly wasn’t my favorite, but once I got it all put together, I fell in love. It has a drawer at the foot of the bed that’s handy for storing extra linens or off-season clothing, and it’s sturdy too. I also appreciate that the platform lets me maneuver my mattress easily so I don’t have to fight to change my sheets.

Brooklyn Bedding is offering 30 percent off sitewide for its Labor Day sale. If you’re a retired or active military member, you can get an additional 5 percent off by verifying through ID Me. We like a few different products from Brooklyn Bedding. Its CopperFlex 401 Mattress Topper is the best mattress topper overall, and it’s on sale in the queen size for $419 ($180 off). Brooklyn Bedding also makes our favorite firm mattress, the Plank—on sale for $1,072 ($460 off).

This well-made, luxurious sofa is one of the best couches you can buy online. Operations manager Scott Gilbertson called it the best-looking and most comfortable couch he’s ever sat on. The website lets you order swatches and pick the layout you want, and you can even get a full-size printout to make sure the couch will look right in your living space. There are dozens of options for upholstery, legs, and cushion fill, so you can create the couch of your dreams. For a more affordable option, we also like the Benchmade Modern Laguna (pictured above) on sale for $2,397 ($599 off). “My family and I have been sitting on it for a year and a half now, and the single cushion (as well as the rest of the couch’s cushions) is comfortable and supportive,” says reviewer Nena Farrell.

We’ve recommended the Albany Park Barton in our couch buying guide for years. It’s soft and supportive, with deep seats and wide arms so you can put down your coffee cup or phone without needing an extra table. There are many different fabrics to choose from, and you can choose the stain of the wooden legs too. Assembly wasn’t too difficult—just be prepared to take out a lot of recycling afterward. The couch also comes with a 30-day trial so you can try it before committing.

This sale runs the gamut from kitchenware and mattress toppers to bedding, towels, and furniture. We haven’t tested most of the brands in the sale, but if you’re shopping for something like guest bedroom linens or new dining room chairs, you might find what you’re looking for.

The Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa is comfy and has a slick, MCM silhouette. It’s one of the best couches you can buy online. It’s custom-made for you, with dozens of options and finishes available (including bright pink velvet, which I chose.) It has deep seats that can be removed to reveal a pull-out mattress (which is also surprisingly comfortable). If you’re in the market for a custom couch, this sale is worth a look. The deal ends on September 1.

This is the best budget-friendly travel pillow. The outside is covered in a soft fabric made with recycled water bottles, and the memory foam construction is nice and firm, with high sides so you can easily lean your head toward your shoulder. It also has a chin strap to prevent your head from falling forward. Make sure you choose the option with the carrying case if that’s important to you!

I first started using this when I formerly tested meal kits for WIRED, and I still reach for it nearly every time I process produce in my kitchen. It’s oversized, measuring 12 by 16 inches, and it doesn’t slip around on my countertops. I like the built-in juice groove and the fact that I can still store it in my cupboards even though it’s bigger than standard cutting boards. It has zero knife damage, is BPA-free, and is dishwasher-safe.

We love Cozy Earth’s soft, super-comfortable products, and you can use coupon code WIRED to get 35 percent off almost everything on the website. The excellent Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set falls to $200 ($108 off)—they’re our favorite splurge pick thanks to the soft, buttery bamboo construction, but the splurge is a bit smaller with our coupon code. We also recommend the women’s pajama set, which is silky-soft and makes a great gift. The Cozy Earth Long-Sleeve Pajama Set drops from $148 to $96 after the promo code.

Several colors of our favorite carry-on luggage are on sale right now. The Away Carry-On has long been a favorite of several WIRED reviewers. It has a light, durable shell and a built-in TSA-approved combination lock. The four wheels can rotate fully, so you won’t get stuck on sidewalks or stray cords. The handle is padded and there are compression straps inside the suitcase. You’ll also get a laundry bag and a limited lifetime warranty. Away sales are quite rare.

The Solo Stove Bonfire is the best fire pit. And what better time to pick one up than ahead of autumn, AKA the best time to hold a backyard campfire? It’s small enough to tote around if needed, but large enough to comfortably gather around with a handful of friends. The removable ash pan makes cleanup easier, and the air holes along the top help cut down on smoke. We do think the lid is a worthwhile accessory, and you can get it in a bundle with a base plate and a stand for an extra $100. There are many other accessories available that are on sale right now, too—but the lid is the most essential.

Curie’s natural deodorant is an honorable mention in our buying guide. It caused me some irritation when I first started using it, but a few of my friends and family members really like the formula. It smells great and applies evenly, though you might experience some clothing stains if you apply it under a black t-shirt. The scent doesn’t stick around all day, but it does smell nice when first applied. And that might be a benefit if you want odor protection without a strong scent.

When I tried Hexclad, I liked it just fine. Really! A score of 5 is “recommended with reservations.” It’s important to know what you’re getting, and what you’re getting is easy-to-clean cookware that works fine. I’d prefer to use two separate pans—a nonstick and a stainless steel—but I understand that some people want a one-and-done cooking companion. These frying pans are worth considering on sale, like they are right now. You’ll get three pans in 12-, 10-, and 8-inch sizes, plus their matching lids. If you know you want hybrid cookware, check out this sale.

The All-Clad Factory Seconds sale is one of the best, most reliable ways to save on the investment that is All-Clad. You’ll need to enter your email address to access the sale. There’s a reason why professional chefs reach for their trusty All-Clad constantly—this cookware is simply fantastic. It’s the gold standard. And it’s backed by a lifetime warranty! These Factory Seconds items aren’t in perfect condition. Sometimes there’s packaging damage, and sometimes there are minimal scuffs. Each item has details listed on the product page. This sale is absolutely massive and worth checking out if you need a cookware upgrade of any kind. Might I suggest the 10.5-inch All-Clad Fry Pan for $70 ($80 off)? Or perhaps get ahead of the holidays with the All-Clad Nonstick Large Roaster for $130 ($90 off)? The list goes on, but the sale will end in a few days’ time.

This is featured in our guide to the Best Kitchen Composters. It has the fastest compost breakdown of any model we tried. It has some quirks, like a lid that requires two hands to open and the machine’s tendency to make a loud whirring noise as it works. But it’s a great entry-level kitchen composter, and it doesn’t drop in price very often.

The Bruvi BV-01 is the best pod coffee machine. It’s super-cute and easy to use, with a large touchscreen, fast brewing times, remote scheduling, and used pod collection. The best part, though, is that the proprietary B-Pods are biodegradable. They make perfectly fine coffee, tea, or espresso, and they don’t sit in a landfill forever. This price matches the best we’ve seen. You’ll get the coffee maker itself, plus 20 B-Pods in a variety of flavors.

The Ooni Volt is the very best electric pizza oven. It can heat up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit, and the triple-pane glass door always lets you see what’s going on. And while you might miss out on some of the vibes that come with a fire-powered oven, the Volt can safely be used indoors and outdoors—so you won’t have to brave the coming winter chill (or supply propane refills) to get your paws on some good ‘za.

Hydroviv makes one of the best shower water filters we’ve tested. The bacteriostatic showerhead was able to filter total chlorine down to undetectable levels in reviewer Matthew Korfhage’s chloramine-treated water. This deal is for the automatically replenishing subscription bundle. Hydroviv says you should replace filters every six months, but you can pause or cancel that subscription if you decide you want to order them separately.

Our favorite feeder pet camera goes on sale relatively often, but this is still a solid deal since it regularly jumps up to full price. It has 1080p streaming video, night vision up to 30 feet, two-way audio, and 8x zoom. What sets this camera apart is its treat- or food-dispensing capabilities. Fill up the container with your pet’s chosen treats, and you can use the app to toss them remotely. The best features, like motion and sound alerts and 90 days of video storage, are locked behind a Petcube Care subscription which costs $10 per month.

This is the best pickleball paddle if you play every day (or on a very regular basis). The closed-cell foam core is durable (it even has a lifetime warranty!) and can handle intense temperatures. While it might take some getting used to, resident pickleball expert Martin Cizmar says this is the paddle he reaches for most often. It has a soft, forgiving feel and absorbs vibration, making it particularly useful for defensive plays.

Our favorite electric scooter, the Apollo Go, manages to strike an excellent balance between features and price. It weighs 46 pounds and has maximum speeds of 28 miles per hour, though you can tweak top speed, brake strength, and acceleration response in the app. It also has a few extra features like turn signals, a bell, and self-healing tires. We haven’t seen it sell for less.

The Helinox Chair One (re) is an excellent camping chair. It’s a refresh of the cult favorite original, and it has a higher sitting position. It’s still lightweight, packable, and portable. These chairs are surprisingly comfortable and easy to put together. This is the best price we’ve seen for it. We recommend a few other Helinox options in our buying guide, which are also on sale right now.

The XPress 750 is our favorite ebike for folks on a budget. The frame is comfortable and the pedaling feels natural, so it feels more like a classic bike and less like a lean, mean electric machine. The range could be better, but you’ll have no trouble zooming around your neighborhood at top speeds of 28 mph. And the LCD display and controls are simple and easy to use, so this is an especially great bike for beginners.

Breeo makes the best upgrade firepit. The American-made pit has a fire bowl that’s 2 feet wide, so it’ll fit pre-cut wood, and there are a ton of accessories available. (We especially like the live-fire pizza oven, on sale for $723—a $128 discount). The hefty, sturdy base and natural patina (on the Corten steel option) make this a centerpiece worthy of any backyard.

WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu tested and loved this outdoor couch and armchair set. The couches come with OuterShell, which is a built-in cover that helps protect the couch cushions from the elements (and stray bird poops). The performance fabric is made from recyclable materials, and the covers are machine washable. Julian still has to see how the couch fares in New York winters, but so far, it’s sturdy and comfortable. We like that the couch is made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood. It’s also backed by a 10-year warranty and available in four different fabric options.

This is a match of the best price we’ve seen for our favorite Theragun. It’s the same model used by many professional sports teams, and it has heat therapy as well as an optional cold therapy attachment (the latter is a separate purchase). There’s a vibration head, LED light therapy, and a guided breathwork option too. If you want to invest in your recovery routine, this is a good way to do it.

The Therabody TheraFace Mask is an LED face mask with vibration. It has red, blue, and near-infrared LEDs, plus vibration motors to help you relax during your three- or nine-minute sessions. We like the cordless, hands-free design, though we wish it had a few more bells and whistles like app controls or a battery indicator. If you’ve been eyeing it, though, it rarely gets cheaper than it is right now.

WIRED reviewer Martin Cizmar liked this full-featured cold plunge tub almost as much as his top pick, and it’s significantly cheaper. It has a sleek, modern aesthetic, and the acrylic walls are easy to clean. We regret to inform you that while it is unpleasant to submerge yourself in near-freezing water, it has a number of notable health and wellness benefits that our testers have personally felt. If you want a great-looking cold plunge tub and you don’t want to overpay for it, this deal is worth checking out.
