The 5 Best Weekend Deals on Headphones, Laptops, TVs, and More

It’s a little chilling to think that summer is (technically) more than halfway over, but the numbers don’t lie. We’re already heading into back-to-school season, which brings up conflicting emotions depending on how old you are. There’s still time for fun before summer ends, and these weekend deals will help you find it. These are five of the best bargains we’ve found this week on well-reviewed tech, including a 360-degree GoPro camera, killer noise-cancelling headphones, a stellar QLED TV, and more.

We gave an “Excellent” rating to the Bose QuietComfort headphones in our review, with category expert Tim Gideon saying that they deliver “Bluetooth connectivity, slick companion app, and top-notch active noise cancellation” with a comfortable fit and solid sound quality courtesy of 40mm headphone drivers. Bose’s SimpleSync connectivity feature lets you pair them with compatible speakers, and the headphones themselves also support multipoint compatibility. Battery life is also respectable, with up to 24 hours in between charges. Amazon has them on sale for 34% off right now.

There’s still time to enjoy the great outdoors this summer, and if you want to capture your adventures in a whole new way, the GoPro Max 360 is calling your name with a 33% discount. With an 18MP CMOS sensor that gives you full-view spherical video, you can immerse yourself like never before. In our 2020 review of this reliable and durable action camera, we praised its typically strong stabilization, intuitive software tools to refine your images, and surprisingly nice in-camera audio. Of course, since it’s a GoPro it’s ruggedized to an inch of its life, and the GoPro Quik app makes it easy to snag your footage and post it to your socials.

Walmart has the biggest discount you’ll find right now on the capable second-generation Apple Watch SE, the wearable we gave an “Excellent” rating to in our review. Although Apple markets it as the budget-priced alternative to the mainline Apple Watch, but the differences are pretty minimal. The most noticeable one is the lack of an always-on display, so you’ll have to raise your wrist to light up the face. That does help significantly extend the watch’s battery life, though, so it’s a fair trade. Plenty of biometric sensors let you track your health down to the tiniest detail, and Apple has a bevy of apps and face designs to customize it to your liking.

We called the Roku Pro “the best Roku TV we’ve tested” in our review, giving it an Editors’ Choice award and raving about the picture quality and feature set the company managed to pack into an affordable screen. This is a no-frills display designed for the less tech-savvy, with the ultra-simple Roku TV interface giving you smooth and hassle-free access to all the major streaming services (as well as that soothing Roku City screensaver at no extra charge). With four HDMI ports (two 120Hz, one eARC), a USB-A port, and a USB-C port, you’ve got plenty of connectivity options, and the included Roku Voice Remote Pro gives you hands-free control to boot. A 33% discount gives you even more reason to pick one up.

HP’s OmniStudio X swings a little higher than the majority of Windows all-in-ones, and in our review of the 31-inch model we gave it an Editors’ Choice award, praising the setup’s snappy keyboard, solid assortment of both side and rear-mounted ports, and capable performance that was competitive with Apple’s iMac at a significantly lower price. The ergonomic stand adjusts both height and tilt for premium comfort. This one has a smaller 27-inch screen that’s FHD instead of 4K, but that’s a small trade-off for getting it for just $800.
