Sonos’ Labor Day sale is bringing discounts to a variety of smart speakers and soundbars until September 2nd, many of which are on sale elsewhere for the same price. Both the Sonos Era 100 and portable Move 2 are 20 percent off, which means you can get the Era 100 from Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos for $199 ($50 off) or the Move 2 for $359 ($90 off) via the same retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, and Sonos).

The Era 100 is an easy recommendation for a Sonos-connected Wi-Fi speaker, regardless of where you’d like to put it in your house. It’s compact enough to fit in most places but offers robust volume and quality sound, which gives your music some depth without getting too bassy. The Move 2, on the other hand, is kind of like an Era 100 that can go anywhere thanks to its built-in battery. It’s a bit bigger and heavier than your average Bluetooth speaker, but that makes it a great fit for an outdoor garden party or a car camping adventure — especially since the battery can provide up to 24 hours of continuous playback.

Sonos’ Era 100 smart speaker is a replacement for the older Sonos One, utilizing two tweeters (left and right) and one larger woofer. In addition to Wi-Fi, the Era 100 supports Bluetooth audio and line-in playback via an optional adapter.

With double the battery life of its predecessor and better-sounding stereo audio, the Sonos Move 2’s improvements don’t stop there. It supports line-in audio, can stream Bluetooth audio to other Sonos speakers, and more.

  • Woot is selling the last-gen Motorola Razr Plus in new condition with a full one-year warranty for $499.99 ($500 off). There may not be any of Razr’s fun colors on offer, but 50 percent off a foldable from last year is a good deal if you want to try a flip-style folding phone without spending the usual $1,000 or more. Plus, the 2023 Razr Plus offers excellent battery life and one of the best jumbo-sized cover screens around. Read our review.
  • The first-gen Apple Pencil has returned to its all-time low of $69 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Yes, it’s still got that awkward, poorly designed Lightning connector under its cap for charging, but if you have a compatible iPad (like the ninth-gen model), it’s likely your best option for note-taking and sketching. Well, unless you want to go the third-party / knockoff route.
  • The gray-and-yellow version of Hori’s Split Pad Compact is selling for $22.74 (around $10 off) at Target. The excellent Joy-Con alternatives — which work with both the Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED — offer a slightly roomier, more ergonomic grip that’s more akin to a full-size controller experience without being overly bulky. They even feature two extra rear buttons, which you can customize. Read our Nintendo Switch controller buying guide.
  • The Shargeek 170 power bank is down to $143.64 (around $36 off) at Amazon, matching its all-time low. The nifty, see-through piece of tech allows you to peer inside, giving you a closer look at its fun circuitry and 24,000mAh battery cells. The charger can also output up to 170W of power across its two USB-C ports and lone USB-A port, which is enough to charge most laptops. It’s even IP66-rated for water and dust resistance, so it’s not just a looker.
