The 5 Best Weekend Deals on Headphones, Laptops, TVs, and Other Must-Have Upgrades

Got big weekend plans? Maybe you’re getting together with friends, or seeing a movie, or playing Slay the Spire 2 (that’s what I’m doing). Set aside a little time to do some shopping, because (like every Friday), I’ve picked out five deep discounts on tech that’s been thoroughly tested by our expert reviewers. We’ve got a killer 4K TV, an Nvidia Blackwell GPU-bearing Lenovo laptop, smartwatches, headphones, and more for you to save on.

Beats Studio Pro Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones Deal

Looking for a new pair of headphones? You’ll have a tough time beating this 43% price cut on the Beats Studio Pro. As with most Beats products, we were impressed by the assertive, sculpted sound profile of this model, noting in our review that they performed well both wirelessly and with USB-C high-definition audio, fit comfortably for long periods of time, and had nice spatial audio and head tracking support. Battery life is also quite good, with around 40 hours with active noise cancellation turned off. They’re a breeze to set up, with one-touch pairing on iOS and Android devices and hands-free Siri access.

Garmin Venu Sq 2 GPS Smartwatch Deal

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the Garmin Venu Sq 2 in our 2023 review, with wearable electronics expert Angela Moscaritolo saying it “builds upon its predecessor with a larger and higher-resolution display, longer battery life, an updated heart rate sensor, a new HIIT activity profile, and additional sleep insights” and comparing it favorably to the Apple Watch SE. At a 26% price drop, it becomes an even more attractive option. Although this is a health and fitness-focused smartwatch, it still delivers a bunch of cool productivity perks, including contactless payments, integrated GPS and phone-free music streaming.

Lenovo Legion 7i Gaming Laptop Deal

If you’ve already secured the bag with your tax return and want to spend it on something fun, an $1,100 price drop on the Legion 7i will make you a very happy camper. Tricked out with a speedy Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with 24 cores and a built-in neural processing unit, plus a RTX 5070 graphics card, which we generally regard as the sweet spot for laptop gaming, it’s a well-built and comfortable machine. In our review, we gave it an Editors’ Choice award and praised its bright 2.5K OLED display. Lenovo’s Coldfront: Hyper cooling system keeps the temperature low even when you’re running hot.

TCL 65-Inch QM6K 4K Mini LED Smart TV Deal

Looking for a new screen for all your Netflix binge-watches? Check out this massive 47% cut on the exceptionally solid TCL QM6K smart TV. We gave this one an “Excellent” rating in our review, with display ninja Will Greenwald declaring it “offers accurate colors, deep blacks, strong contrast, and a high refresh rate for a reasonable price.” Note that that “reasonable price” was $999.99, so for $530 it’s much better. It’s also a good option for console gamers, with a super-low input lag, deep contrast, rich blacks and a speedy 120Hz refresh rate.

Wyze Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Router Pro Deal

And we close out with another Editors’ Choice winner, this time a compact but potent Wyze mesh router. These systems are designed for modularity, with each unit giving you 2,000 square feet of Wi-Fi 6E coverage. In our review, we were really impressed by its speedy throughput courtesy of its tri-band setup that can use the 6GHz radio band in addition to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It also has wired LAN ports and USB connectivity. Setup is a breeze, and it comes bundled with free network security software. Taking 59% off makes it a can’t-skip deal.
