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.
It’s worth noting up top that many Memorial Day sales have yet to kick off, but, lucky for you, we’ll continue to refresh the list throughout the week as more deals appear at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
Earbud and headphone deals
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, 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.
Smart home deals
The battery-powered Ring Stick Up Cam Pro is 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 $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 $91.99 ($48 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.
Tablet deals
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.
TV and streaming device deals
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.
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.
Amazon is selling the 75-inch Fire TV Omni for $789.99 ($240 off), which is $80 more than its all-time low but still a great price for the lower-end Fire TV. It supports Dolby Vision HDR and HDR 10, and there are built-in microphones for hands-free Alexa control. Read our review.
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.
Gaming deals
Sony’s InZone H3 headset is on sale for $79 ($21 off) at Adorama — a dollar more than its all-time low. The wired gaming headset works with the PS5 and Windows PCs, offering up immersive spatial audio that’s tuned best for Sony’s Tempest 3D tech. It’s also comfortable to wear thanks to its ample padding and features a boom mic, which flips up when you want to engage the mute feature.
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.
Smartwatch and wearable deals
Garmin’s Fenix 7S Pro, our top wearable pick for serious outdoor athletes, is also on sale starting at $599.99 ($200) from 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) when you buy the wearable directly from Garmin and REI. 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.
Miscellaneous tech deals
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.

The DJI Mini 2 SE is a great beginner drone, especially now that it’s down to $248 ($62 off) at eBay when you use offer code MEMORIALTWENTY at checkout. The palm-sized drone lets you fly for up to 31 minutes and works from up to 500 meters away; it also includes a 2.7K camera sensor for capturing crisp point-of-view footage.
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.

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.
