The best Apple deals

  • You can get a 10th-gen iPad for $279 ($70 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $30 more than its lowest price to date. Apple’s entry-level tablet uses an A14 Bionic chipset and offers a 10.9-inch display that’s roomy enough for almost any task you can carry out on it. Although you might want a higher-end model for 4K editing and heavier workloads, the entry-level iPad is great for almost any other moderate need, including browsing, streaming, and doodling (it’s compatible with the first-gen Apple Pencil and the newer USB-C model). It can even handle some light gaming. Read our review.
  • You can grab a four-pack of AirTags for $69.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy right now, which matches the bundle’s best price to date. Apple’s ultra wideband trackers are our No. 1 pick for iPhone users, as they allow you to track your keys, bag, and other belongings within inches of their location using Apple’s extensive Find My network. They also feature replaceable batteries, carry an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and offer tracking alerts to help prevent stalking. Hell, you can even now share their location with a handful of airlines, courtesy of a recent iOS 18 update. Read our original review.
  • The 13-inch M2 MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is down to $749 ($250 off) at Amazon (at checkout) or $799 at Best Buy. The last-gen Air is still a great laptop for most people, especially now that it starts with 16GB of RAM. That gives it enough memory to handle macOS Sequoia’s AI-based Apple Intelligence features, along with enough power for light video, photo, and audio work. It’s also noticeably lighter than the MacBook Pro, yet it still lasts all day thanks to the efficiency of Apple’s M2 chip.

The best headphone and earbud deals

  • Sony’s WH-1000XM4 are available for around $248 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The last-gen pair of headphones remain a solid to the XM5 thanks to their fantastic noise cancellation and overall call quality. They last up to 30 hours per charge, support Google Fast Pair and Find My on Android devices, and feature multipoint Bluetooth connectivity. They also support 360-degree spatial audio and, unlike the latest model, tout a foldable that’s far more portable. Read our review.
  • The Bose QuietComfort Headphones are down to $249 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose’s online storefront. The midrange headphones are the spiritual successor to the Bose QuietComfort 45, offering similar audio quality but more granular control over ANC and ambient passthrough levels. They don a similar design and form factor to the QC45, too, which — as its namesake teases — prioritizes comfort.
  • The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are matching their all-time low of $229 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Bose. They’re a solid pair of wireless earbuds if you want to enjoy music without completely plugging your ear canals. Unlike bone-conduction headphones, which send vibrations through your skull for similar open-ear benefits, the Open Earbuds clip onto your ear lobe. Bose’s so-called OpenAudio technology then directs audio toward your eardrums. They’re an interesting alternative that might be more ideal for workouts than other products, but by nature, they don’t perform as well as traditional earbuds. Read our review.
  • Now through February 17th, Anker’s Soundcore Sport X10 are on sale for $55.99 ($14 off) — just $5 shy of their all-time low — when you buy them from Anker’s eBay storefront and use offer code PREZ20 at checkout. Despite being an older model, the Sport X10 remain a great pair of budget-friendly workout earbuds with flexible ear hooks, a robust IPX7 rating for water and sweat resistance, and powerful bass. They’re certainly not on par with something like the Powerbeats Pro 2, but they’re a solid gym pick for the price.

Best speaker deals

  • You can get the Bose SoundLink Flex (second-gen) for $129 ($20 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose, which is about $12 more than its lowest price to date. The portable Bluetooth speaker is water and dust-resistant, said to be rugged enough to withstand drops, lasts up to 12 hours per charge, and allows you to pair it with another for stereo playback. Its flat profile makes it easy to slip into a bag, but you can also use the integrated strap to attach it using a carabiner or other means.

The best gaming deals

  • NBA 2K25 is down to $24.99 ($45 off) — an all-time low — at Amazon for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S (you can also get it for $19.99 for the Nintendo Switch). The current on the basketball simulator comes just in time for the NBA all-star weekend. It’s updated within days of the -wide roster changes, with realistic lineups reflected across Play Now and GM modes. You can also build a fantasy squad through MyTeam’s collectible , or create a MyPlayer character to act out your own rags to riches story in the NBA.
  • The 49-inch Odyssey G95SD OLED is available for $1,499.99 ($400 off) from Samsung’s online store. That’s a record-low price on Samsung’s newest G9 monitor, though you can get the similarly impressive G95SC from 2023 for $945.99 (about $654 off) at Amazon. The QHD-equivalent, ultra-wide curved OLED monitors sport a 240Hz refresh rate and a .03-millisecond response time. The glare-free panel should make it a for playing games in most lighting conditions, while adaptive brightness tech detects static on-screen elements and lowers the local brightness to protect the display from burn-in. Both models also feature an RGB ring on the rear that can change dynamically based on what’s happening in your game.
  • You can get the 55-inch Samsung Odyssey Ark (second-gen) for $1,799.99 ($900 off) at Best Buy, B&H Photo, and direct from Samsung. It’s an absolutely unhinged 4K Mini-LED curved display that supports up to 165Hz refresh rate, and you can flip it vertically into “cockpit” mode for a new perspective while gaming or for whatever hardcore productivity needs you might have. Also aiding your productivity is an improved Multi View feature that lets you view up to four independent HDMI or DisplayPort sources simultaneously. It includes a built-in KVM switch and a dedicated control dial for managing its various settings.

Good deals on other gadgets and goods

  • Amazon is currently discounting many of its Fire HD tablets, including the latest Fire HD 8, which is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy with ads and 32GB of storage starting at $64.99 ($35 off). It can’t compare to higher-end models from Apple and Google, but the 8-inch tablet is a decent Alexa-enabled device if you just need something basic for playing games, streaming, reading, and consuming other forms of entertainment.
  • The Mill Food Recycler is on sale for $874 ($125 off) directly from Mill, which is one of its best prices to date. The smart trash can is designed to grind food scraps and convert them into chicken food, which you can then either ship to Washington state or use yourself. The latest model can process 40 pounds of leftovers and is slightly faster than the first-gen iteration we tested, too, allowing you to create a coffee ground-like substance in two and a half hours as opposed to 10.

Update, February 17th: Updated pricing and removed expired deals.
