I Found the 5 Best Tech Deals this Weekend and (Oddly) Everything’s 38% Off

I’m not very superstitious, but there’s something a little weird about this batch of weekend deals. We’re always on the hunt for big discounts, so I don’t even consider anything under 25% off for this roundup. But as I drilled through the post-Prime Big Deal Days offers, one number kept appearing, like in that one Jim Carrey movie (different number but same idea). Today’s number is 38. Both Drake and Kendrick Lamar are 38. In numerology, 38 is considered an “angel number,” symbolizing material abundance. Cats possess 38 chromosomes in their genome! OK, I’m reaching. Let’s get to the 38% deals.

Beats Earbud Deal

Need a cost-effective way to block out the world for a while? You can’t do much better than picking up a pair of Beats Studio Buds for under a hundred bucks. In our 2021 review of these earbuds, we praised their massive bass response, which doesn’t detract from highs and mids, as well as their comfortable fit and one-touch pairing with both Android and iOS devices. Battery life is decent, with eight hours with ANC off, and the USB-C charging case is solid. There are more nuanced noise-cancelling earbuds on the market, but none at this price.

Amazon Echo Pop Deal

Amazon’s Echo speakers have been steadily shrinking in size since they were introduced, and the Pop is the most compact iteration yet. In our review, product expert Will Greenwald said that this model is “one of the least expensive ways to buy into the Alexa ecosystem,” with easy connectivity to a universe of smart home products, decent sound quality and responsive microphones. It can also double as an eero Wi-Fi node to help you distribute your device load on your home system. While the bass isn’t particularly deep, this can-do speaker will become an integral part of your household at 38% off.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Deal

We gave a glowing review to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which shouldn’t be surprising. Samsung’s wearables are consistently the top of the Android smartwatch market, with bright screens, potent processors and tons of cool features. This model introduces Galaxy AI-powered workout plans and sleep coaching, a rotating bezel for analog input, and a bevy of biometric sensors including a first-of-its-kind antioxidant test. Battery life is also exceptional, testing at over 48 hours on a single charge. At 38% off, this is an all-purpose wearable that doesn’t disappoint.

TCL TV Deal

On the hunt for a big new TV to watch the month’s horror movies on? You’re not going to able to find a deal that beats this one, a massive discount on a TCL screen that we gave an “Excellent” rating to in our review. The mini-LED backlighting gives you exceptional contrast, with deep blacks for monsters to hide in and bright colors. Gamers will savor the 144Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for hard-locked framerates on PCs and next-gen consoles. Snagging a set of this quality for $800 is a steal.

HP LaserJet Printer Deal

You don’t have to print documents every day, but when you do, it’s a pain in the butt to find a printer when you need one. That’s why this 38% price drop on a solid HP LaserJet is worth your time. In our review of this all-in-one workhorse, contributing editor M. David Stone praised its “solid performance and output quality,” noting that the unit had a capacious 150-sheet paper tray and 40-sheet auto document feeder, and supported automatic duplexing. It’s a breeze to set up, with good software support and decent printing speed.
