Don't forget to check out our round-up of the Best Early Memorial Day tech sales for all of the best deals out there.
Apple Watch Deals
Already $100 off in anticipation of Memorial Day, Apple's flagship smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, is our Editor's Choice pick for iPhone users (and it also earned our Best of the Year Award in 2024). It's powered by the fast and efficient S10 chip and boasts tons of health, fitness, and lifestyle features, including GPS workout recording, ECG, sleep and cycle tracking, music, podcast, and third-party app support. It also has the newly added audio playback mode. Plus, the new depth gauge and water temperature sensors also make it an excellent choice for snorkeling and other shallow-water activities.
The latest Apple Watch SE that we reviewed hits the sweet spot in terms of balancing performance with price thanks to this $50 discount. It's marketed as the "budget-friendly" model in the Apple Watch line-up, but still boasts many of the same core features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and pretty much the same access to apps and connectivity features. Basically, if you can forgo an always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, like body temperature and ECG, then the Apple Watch SE offers the most bang for your buck, especially on sale.
iPad Deals
Although small, the latest iPad Mini is powerful and capable with the new ability to support Apple Intelligence. In terms of design, it has the same sleek aesthetic of other iPads, only it's a lighter, more portable size that's ideal for traveling while leaving your bulky tablet or laptop at home. Plus, the bright LCD screen features anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant coatings, so you can use it outside with little glare and clear visibility. In our testing, it performed notably well across gaming, productivity, and media streaming with a solid 7-plus hour battery life — and right now, it's $100 off.
Beats Deals
When it comes to noise-cancelling earbuds, the sleek Beats Studio Buds+ are among the best value you can find right now. On sale for just $100, they boast some of the best noise cancellation you can find in the under-$200 price range. The overall audio quality doesn't disappoint either with deep bass and crisp highs. They're compatible with both Apple and Android devices, offering an impressive nine-hour battery life plus an additional 27 hours when you use the charging case. We gave them a rating of "Excellent" in our 2023 review, and that was without a 41% discount.
Powered by the Apple H1 chip, the sweat-proof Beats Powerbeats Pro deliver the iconic deep bass sound signature the brand is known for, only in Bluetooth earbud form. In contrast to the Beats Studio Buds+ or AirPods, these feature a sleek design that hooks over the ear and can even be adjusted to ensure an extra secure grip. The nine-hour battery life is also noteworthy, with the case offering an additional 24 hours of playback time. Per our 2019 review, they earned a rating of "Excellent" with one of the big downsides being the price – but with nearly a $100 discount, these are well worth it for fans of the Beats aesthetic and acoustics.
The Beats Studio Pro are wireless, over-ear headphones that offer a rich, well-balanced sound complete with head-tracking spatial audio. You can listen to your favorite tunes via wired headphones (for high-res audio playback) or through Bluetooth in either noise-cancelling or transparency mode. We found their seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem to be especially noteworthy along with their comfortable, cushiony fit and premium accessories. While we originally rated them as "Good," at a sale price of $200, they're a more than good pair of noise-canceling headphones, particularly for iOS users.
