The 5 Best Weekend Tech Deals on Desktops, Headphones, TVs, and More

This weekend marks the unofficial midpoint of summer, and it’s been an intense one, what with Amazon Prime Day’s four-day sales frenzy keeping us glued to our keyboards hunting down the best deals for you. Even though that’s over, savings never sleep, and I’ve rounded up five of the most appealing tech bargains from all the major retailers. Whether you’re shopping for a new PC, a smartwatch, a TV, or whatever, we’ve got big discounts on well-reviewed products.

TV Deal

Let’s open up with an outstanding 44% price drop on a capable smart TV from Hisense. We consistently rate their displays highly in our reviews, giving an Editors’ Choice to the U6N in our review and noting that it delivered exceptional color performance, great contrast and easy-to-use features. With 600 local dimming zones and up to 1000 nits of peak brightness, it’ll work in just about any room, and the native 144Hz panel lets you do high-framerate gaming on modern consoles. Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound make movies immersive and cinema-quality, and the built-in Fire TV platform and Alexa voice remote are intuitive to use.

Headphone Deal

We gave an “Excellent” rating to the Sonos Ace headphones in our review, with praise going to their support of a wide range of Bluetooth codecs for high-quality wireless audio, classy and comfortable design, and well-tuned active noise cancellation. As you’d expect from Sonos, the sound quality is quite good, with great low-frequency response and clear highs, and they support spatial audio tracking with content from most of the major audio streaming services. The Sonos app gives you granular EQ control and lets you hand off your signal from the headphones to compatible Sonos speakers. A 33% discount makes them a great buy.

Smartwatch Deal

If you’re smartwatch shopping, this is going to be the best deal you see in a long time. A whopping 47% price cut on the 2024 Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 gives you a wearable that will handle all of your fitness and activity tracking needs, add convenience to your daily activities, and look cool doing it. We gave it an “Excellent” rating in our review, praising the device’s touch and gesture controls that are intuitive and responsive, as well as the bright and sharp Super AMOLED display. With 32GB of internal storage, double what the Galaxy Watch 6 offered, as well as new dual-frequency GPS, it’s one of the best non-Apple smartwatches you can buy, and unlocks a ton of cool synergies with Samsung phones.

Gaming Desktop Deal

Long summer days are perfect for hiding away from the sun and gaming, and if you’ve been pondering the idea of a new prebuilt PC, NewEgg has a discount you should check out. Slicing 29% off the sticker price of the very competent MSI Aegis RS2 is a sweet deal, and while this machine doesn’t push to 4K, the RTX 5070 is an absolute 1080p and 1440p beast, with rock-solid framerates (and high power consumption, according to our review). The rest of the loadout is good, with lots of system memory and storage. We reviewed the previous generation of the Aegis RS and liked it, noting that the case had great design and super-quiet cooling.

Gaming Mouse Deal

If you get a gaming computer, you should get a gaming mouse too. Forget about the pack-in, you need an input device with ultimate precision and accuracy. We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the Asus ROG Keris II Ace in our review, raving about its high DPI ceiling and 8,000Hz polling rate that gives you lightning-fast movement down to the micron. It’s a super-lightweight mouse at just 1.9 ounces, but built sturdily enough to roll with the most intense action, and the proprietary ROG Optical Micro Sensor switches are rated for up to 100 million clicks. That’s like three games of StarCraft. Amazon has it on sale for 44% off.
