The best Memorial Day sales happening now

The summer solstice may be when summer officially kicks off, but for many of us, it starts as soon as temperatures begin to rise and the smell of barbecue begins wafting through the air. Memorial Day also serves as the unofficial start to the season, and the deals that are popping up right now are a great indicator that it’s right around the corner.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best Memorial Day deals you can get on an array of gadgets and gizmos. This includes wireless headphones like the Beats Solo 4, which are currently receiving their first discount, as well as inexpensive security cameras like the Blink Mini 2. You can also pick up Amazon’s latest Fire TV Cube for its best price to date, along with tablets, Garmin watches, and one of our favorite OLED TVs.

At this point, the bulk of Memorial Day sales have kicked off, but it’s possible newer offers will pop up and prices will dip even further, as we’ve already witnessed. We’ll continue to refresh the list throughout the holiday weekend, though, just to keep you updated.

With improved comfort, refined sound, and even better active noise cancellation, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 offer a compelling mix of features for the price. Read our review.

• The new Beats Solo 4 are currently on sale starting at $149.95 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the refreshed on-ear headphones, which have USB-C connectivity, a more comfortable fit, and longer battery life than the previous model. Unfortunately, they lack active noise cancellation and water resistance — two features we expect to see in this price range. Read our review.
• The Apple AirPods Max have been discounted to $449.99 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is only $20 more than their all-time low. Apple’s only pair of over-ear headphones offer excellent sound quality, great comfort, and spatial audio support. While there are better headphones when it comes to noise cancellation performance, the Max are ideal if you’re looking for something that works seamlessly with all of Apple’s products. Read our review.

• You can grab a pair of the LinkBuds S from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony starting at $128 ($72 off). Sony’s closed earbuds are a comfortable, more affordable alternative to the pricier WF-1000XM4 and XM5, but unlike the original LinkBuds, which feature an open-ear design, they rely upon a transparency mode to allow ambient sound through. Read our review.

The Roborock Q5 Plus is a great robot vacuum that can empty itself and features mapping and virtual keep-out zones with lidar navigation for the bargain price of $399.99. This is one of the few Roborocks you can get without a mop, making it a good choice for homes with lots of carpet.

• Ecovacs’ Deebot T20 Omni is the brand’s more affordable, lidar-equipped vacuum/mop hybrid, one that’s down to an all-time low of around $649 ($450 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Similar to the X2 Omni, it can lift its spinning mop heads up to 9mm high, allowing it to clean dirt from carpets and hardwood floors and then switch to mopping in one fell swoop. It can also wash and dry its own mop with hot water and air once it returns to the base.
• The battery-powered Ring Stick Up Cam Prois on sale for $139.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Ring’s online storefront or in its wired configuration for $139.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The outdoor-ready Cam Pro is similar to the company’s base 1080p security cameras, only it comes with radar-powered 3D motion detection sensors and a view that lets you track every step of your visitor’s approach.

• The Blink Video Doorbell, aka our favorite budget video doorbell, is down to $41.99 ($18 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. You can also get it with a Sync Module 2 for $48.99 ($21 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is only $7 more than its all-time low. The inexpensive doorbell offers decent video quality and up to two years of battery life, though we recommend purchasing the bundle, as the module adds free local storage and on-demand live views.
• The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam is available for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is only $10 more than its lowest price to date. The wired 1080p camera features motion-activated recording, night vision, two-way audio, and a built-in privacy cover, allowing you to cover the camera to ensure potential snoopers can’t spy on you.

• You can get a pair of Google Nest WiFi Pro mesh routers for as low as $239.98 (about $60 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. We’ve seen a two-pack sell for $40 less, but that’s still a great price for a Wi-Fi 6E system that’s easy to use and comes with Thread / Matter support. Read our review.
• Eve’s Matter-compatible smart door and window sensors are on sale at Amazon in a pack of three for $89.95 ($50 off). You can get alerts whenever one of the protected entryways is opened, and you can set up automations to have other smart home devices react whenever that happens. The Matter support makes it easy to manage the sensors no matter which smart home platform you prefer.

The iPad Air retains the iPad Pro-esque redesign of the 2020 model but does away with the A14 Bionic processor in favor of Apple’s fast M1 chip. It also comes in one of five colors and boasts a 12MP front-facing camera with support for Apple’s Center Stage feature. Read our review.

• The 13-inch M2 MacBook Air is down to $829 ($170 off) at Amazon in its base configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That’s a new low on the 2022 laptop, which features an improved 1080p webcam, great battery life, and plenty of power even if it’s not quite as speedy as the newer M3 model. Read our review.
• The latest Amazon Fire HD 10 is currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy with ads starting at $94.99 ($45 off) or without ads at Amazon starting at $109.99 ($45 off). The 2023 tablet is one of the only non-iPad slates we’d recommend in its relatively affordable price range, especially if you only need it for basic browsing and entertainment purposes.
• Amazon is selling the latest Fire 7 Kids for $69.99 ($40 off). The 7-inch tablet is the same as the standard Fire 7 but comes with a colorful, rugged case and an extended two-year warranty. It also includes a year of Amazon Kids Plus, which provides on-demand access to child-friendly games, videos, books, apps, and Alexa skills. Read our review.

The LG C3 offers more processing power than its predecessor and several new picture modes, not to mention a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag. Now through May 27th, you can save 20 percent on various configurations at eBay when you use promo code MEMORIALTWENTY.

• LG’s 27-inch StanbyME Go is down to $797.59 (about $200 off) at eBay when you use coupon code MEMORIALTWENTY. The 1080p smart TV lives inside a briefcase and features a built-in collapsible arm, which folds down into the cache for easy transport. It supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, too, and runs LG’s excellent webOS, which has tons of streaming apps and channels built-in. Read our review.
• Amazon’s latest Fire TV Cube is matching its all-time low of $109.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and The Home Depot. The speedy 4K set-top streaming box doubles as an Echo speaker and has conveniences like Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI passthrough, plus support for newer visual and audio technologies like Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10 Plus. Read our review.
• The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is on sale at Amazon for $119.99 ($20 off), which is only $20 more than it was during the holidays. The 24-inch soundbar produces impressive audio for its size and limited speaker count, and it punches above its weight with support for both DTS Virtual:X audio and Dolby Audio. It also features Bluetooth, and if you use it with a Fire TV or player, you can control both with a single remote. Read our hands-on impressions.

• Hisense’s 75-inch U6HF TV is down to $649.99 ($196 off) at Amazon, which is only $20 shy of its best price to date. The sizable ULED TV is already a tremendous value before the discount and even comes with an NBA Store gift card worth up to $200. To be clear, this is the Amazon-exclusive version, which uses Fire OS as a smart TV platform, but you can also get the Google TV version at Best Buy for the same price with a $100 NBA Store gift card.
• You can get Samsung’s 27-inch M80C Smart Monitor at Amazon and B&H Photo for $349.99 ($300 off), an all-time low. We liked the original M80B version released in 2022, which was a great 2-in-1 work monitor that could serve as both a PC display and a 4K smart TV. The M80C offers a similar set of features, along with Alexa compatibility, the ability to serve as a Samsung SmartThings hub, and support for a wealth of productivity apps.
• The Sanus Elite is down to $249.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy, which is only $20 more than its all-time low. The fully articulating wall mount can hold TVs between 42 and 90 inches in size and up to 125 pounds. You can also extend the heavy-duty mount up to 28 inches from the wall, affording it generous room to swivel and tilt.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option focused on fast, 4K gameplay.

• Samsung’s massive 49-inch Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is down to $799.99 ($500 off) at Amazon and Best Buy when you opt for the QLED version with a VA panel. The ultrawide form factor on the curved QHD-equivalent monitor has proven popular not just for gaming but also for productivity, as it offers a blistering-fast 240Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.
• A two-pack of Govee RGBIC Gaming Light Bars is available for $64.99 ($25 off) from Govee and Amazon (when you clip the on-page coupon). The RGB lights go on either side of your monitor, with the bulbs facing the wall to illuminate your space. You can use the included controller to adjust the brightness and cycle through a range of default colors; however, you’ll get the most out of them by using the Govee app, which lets you choose from more than 60 scenes and modes. There’s even an option that prompts the lights to respond to music and various in-game sounds.

• Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has dropped to $27.99 ($42 off) at Best Buy for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S. That’s the best price yet on the action-adventure title, which uses the soulslike trope of forcing you to relinquish experience points upon death. It builds on its excellent predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, with more expansive environments and new Jedi abilities for you to dispatch Imperial foes. Read our review.
• If you recently purchased an Xbox and plan on spending the long holiday weekend gaming, you should jump on Target’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal, which nets you a three-month subscription for $34.99 ($15 off). In addition to online play and party chat, a membership unlocks access to hundreds of titles that you can download and play for the life of your subscription.

• Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are down to $34.99 ($35 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target (with a Target Circle membership). The open-world title is based around James Cameron’s Avatar films, and though it certainly doesn’t reinvent the action-adventure genre, it offers up a pretty stunning world to explore.

The Apple Watch Series 9 features a brand-new S9 processor that enables offline Siri use, brighter displays, and the double tap gesture. It also has the second-gen ultra wideband chip for Precision Finding if you have an iPhone 15. Read our review.

• If you want an LTE-enabled smartwatch and don’t mind lagging a few generations behind, the 45mm Apple Watch Series 7 could be a solid pickup now that it’s on sale at Woot for $249.99. It’s a great option if you were going for something like the second-gen Apple Watch SE anyway, which isn’t much cheaper and lacks some of the capabilities found on the Series 7 (fast charging, SpO2 sensors, etc.). Woot’s deal also includes a one-year Apple warranty and, like any new Apple Watch, it’s eligible for AppleCare. Read our review.

• Garmin’s Fenix 7S Pro,our top wearable pick for serious outdoor athletes, is on sale starting at $599.99 ($200 off) from Amazon, Garmin and REI. The Fenix 7S Pro doesn’t feature the Epix Pro’s OLED display, which we found more readable, but it does share the same LED flashlight and built-in multiband GPS, along with perks like solar charging. Read our review.
• Garmin’s Venu 3S, our favorite platform-agnostic fitness smartwatch, currently starts at just $399.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. It lacks cellular connectivity, but it’s an excellent choice if you want Garmin’s in-depth training metrics and an assortment of smart features. It offers a heart rate sensor and wheelchair mode, for instance, as well as support for contactless payments and a mic for taking calls. Read our review.

Garmin’s palm-size inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator provides off-the-grid contact with subscription plans starting at $14.95 a month.

• Rad Power Bikes’ Memorial Day sale can save you hundreds on the brand’s excellent e-bikes, including the burly RadRover 6 Plus High-Step, which is down to $1,099 ($500 off). You can also save $200 on the cargo-toting RadWagon 4 and the RadRunner Plus, both of which are going for $1,599 and come with a free accessory worth up to $200. Read our RadWagon 4 review.
• Black Diamond’s Spot 400 is available for around $37.39 ($12 off) from REI and Black Diamond. The 400-lumen headlamp only needs three AAA batteries for power (it’s also compatible with an optional rechargeable battery) and offers several lighting modes and brightness levels. It has an IPX8 water resistance rating, too, allowing it to survive in up to 1.1 meters of water (approximately 3.5 feet)for up to 30 minutes.
• Coleman’s Cascade 222 Camping Stove is currently available from REI, Backcountry, and Colman starting at $126.99 ($43 off). The solid two-burner stove is a slight step up from Coleman’s most basic model, providing you with a bit more cooking precision, a built-in carrying handle, and a handy piezo ignition for getting things started.

The Theragun Mini is a small, ultra-portable massage device that’s quiet and effective at providing relief for muscle pain and melting away tension.

• The 512GB Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is down to $849.99 ($270 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, while the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 5 is on sale for $1,349.99 ($450 off) at Amazon — just $50 north of its all-time low. Samsung’s latest foldables offer a fun form factor, with the Fold 5 serving particularly well as a productivity device. One major downside compared to the smartphone maker’s traditional candy bar flagships, however, is their aging camera systems.

You can find cases and accessories for flagship products from Apple and Samsung, including AirPods, iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, and Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets.
• The Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank is available for only $124.99 ($55 off) from Amazon, Walmart, and Anker (with promo code WS7DV2OOFSUC). It has 250W throughput to supply two USB-C ports with up to 140W each, plus a 65W USB-A port. There’s also a handy LCD display that clues you in on remaining capacity, recharge time, and power draw for each port, and you can locate it by playing a sound using the companion app.
• Now through May 26th, you can use promo code FA15 to save 15 percent on Grid Studio’s framed artwork, which showcases the innards of iconic tech products. A few pieces are even currently on discount, including the iPhone 4S (now $99), the Nokia 3310 (now $99), and the Game Boy Pocket (now $129).
• Anker’s Soundcore Bluetooth speaker is on sale for an all-time low of $19.99 ($10 off) at Amazon in select colors when you clip the on-page coupon. It’s the most basic speaker Anker currently makes, but it offers decent sound for the price, up to 24 hours of battery life, and an IPX5 rating for water resistance.
• A couple of weeks ago, we launched our 2024 graduation gift guide, which pulls together a selection of Verge-approved ideas for graduates of all ages. Not everything in there is a deal per se, though you can pick up the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack direct from Cotopaxi right now for $150 ($50 off). It’s a great carry-on backpack made of 1680-denier ballistic nylon, one that’s loaded with organizational pockets for stowing clothes, cables, and whatever tech you travel with.

Update, May 25th: We’ve adjusted pricing and added an assortment of new deals, including those for Coleman’s Cascade 222 2-Burner Camping Stove and last year’s Dead Space remake.
