We’re in the awkward period between Amazon’s October Prime Day event and next month’s Black Friday sale, and it’s certainly a slow week for tech deals. Nevertheless, we found some great discounts on premium OLED TVs from Samsung and LG, the entry-level Apple Pencil, our favorite cheap running earphones, recommended power banks, Sony headphones, and more. Here are this week’s best tech deals you can buy today.
Samsung S90C OLED TV (65-inch) for $1,300 at Best Buy ($300 off MSRP): The S90C’s QD-OLED panel delivers the typical benefits of OLED TVs: great contrast with deep black tones, clarity It combines smooth movement and wide viewing angles. The latter, which offers a wider color gamut and improved overall brightness compared to traditional OLED sets, has received good reviews on the web and we’ve also explained the differences. For reference, this updated version costs $300 more as of this writing. Of course, there may be further discounts as Black Friday approaches, but for now this price is only $20 more expensive. The best price for the 65-inch model is also available on Amazon, albeit from a third-party seller.
LG C3 OLED TV (65-inch) for $1,297 ($203 off) at Amazon: The LG C3 is another well-received premium TV that was released last year. WOLED panels aren’t as bright or as rich in color as the better QD-OLEDs. Like the S90C, it features four HDMI 2.1 ports and can play in 4K at 120Hz, the maximum refresh rate supported by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The S90C supports the popular Dolby Vision HDR format, and its webOS software is generally easier to operate than Samsung’s Tizen platform, which has seen some in-store sales and a steep drop to $1,245 earlier this year. This is our lowest price. We also looked at the 65-inch version, and while a newer model is available, most reviews suggest it’s not a huge upgrade and currently costs an additional $300.

Sony ULT Wear for $148 ($52 off) on Amazon: ULT Wear isn’t at the top of our guide to the best wireless headphones, but if you like (very) bass-heavy sound, this is the price is worth considering. profile. Adequate active noise cancellation, a sleek design, above-average call quality, and a solid 40 hours or so of battery life add to the appeal, but again, it really takes a “basshead” to enjoy them. must be. We gave this pair a score of 78 in our review. This deal marks an all-time low and is also available at Walmart.
Apple Pencil (USB-C) for $65 ($14 off) at Walmart: A new low for Apple’s entry-level iPad stylus. This model doesn’t support pressure sensitivity or wireless charging, so those who can afford to step up to Apple’s more expensive Pencil should do so. But if you just need a pen for casual doodling and note-taking, or if you own a 10th generation iPad that doesn’t support these great options, this pen is more affordable. must be used.
Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) for $300 ($49 off) at Amazon: Yes, the 13-inch iPad Pro is more iPad than most people need, so drop an extra $300 to pair it with a keyboard. is definitely overkill. But if you really want to make the Pro your main computer, the keyboard itself is very well made, and this deal will save you some cash compared to buying directly from Apple. Another new low.
JLab Go Air Sport for $14 ($16 off) on Amazon: The Go Air Sport is our budget pick in our guide to the best running headphones. They’re not the cleanest sounding wireless earbuds out there, but their hook-style design stays put on the go, they have an IP55 water resistance rating, and most importantly, they’re very affordable. This deal is one of the lowest prices we’ve tracked. Just clip the $6 coupon on the page. Please note that the coupon only applies to the teal color. Other colors also sell for $20, which is still a great value.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max + Xbox Core Wireless Controller (Sky Cipher) + 1 Month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $80 ($67 off) at Amazon: If you’re looking to buy a streaming stick and a new Xbox controller, check out Amazon is bundling its top-end Fire TV Stick with the gamepad at a discounted price. This primarily includes the “Sky Cipher” version of the Series X/S pad, which typically costs between $60 and $70 on its own. (If you don’t care about color, you might save even more by purchasing the Max and standard Xbox controllers separately around Black Friday.) Amazon is making this bundle available to streamers so they can play Xbox games. On sale. Since it’s cloud, it also throws in a month’s worth of Game Pass Ultimate. 4K Max still tends to promote Prime Video and other Amazon services above all else, but it’s fast and supports all major apps. I also found it to be a surprisingly decent retro gaming console.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Switch) for $40 ($10 off) at Woot: Amazon subsidiary Woot has released first-party Nintendo releases, including a remake of the popular Game Boy Advance puzzle platformer Mario vs. Donkey Kong We’re offering some discounts on Switch games. . It may not be as good as its predecessor (most games aren’t), but our review still called it “a solid combination of challenge and depth.” This is the lowest price ever. Other Nintendo games include Kirby’s Dream Land and Princess Peach: Showtime! is at or near an all-time low.
Resident Evil 4 (PS5) for $22 ($8 off) at Amazon: Among other video game sales, this is the lowest price ever for a physical PS5 copy of last year’s Resident Evil 4 remake. The Xbox version is also available for the same price. If you don’t mind purchasing the digital version, note that you can save a few bucks through PSN.
Doom Eternal (PC) free on Amazon ($40 off, only on Prime): This offer has been running for a week, but it’s still worth a PSA: Amazon Prime subscribers can enjoy the wonderfully chaotic FPS Doom Eternal You can get the PC version for one year. There are no additional costs. You have to get it through the Microsoft Store instead of Steam or GOG, but it’s free. BioShock Remastered, another classic FPS, is also available for the same price.
Razer Basilisk V3. (Jeff Dunn/Engadget)
Buy Anker Prime Power Bank for $90 ($40 off) on Amazon: Anker Prime is a top pick in our best power bank guide. It might be overkill for most people, but the large 20,000mAh capacity and two 100W USB-C ports allow you to charge multiple laptops at full speed, as well as smartphones and tablets. There’s a 65W USB-A port on top, plus a handy display to keep you updated on battery status. We’ve seen this discount several times before, but this is comparable to an all-time low. This deal is also available on Anker.com with code WS7DV2DWW6CW.
Samsung Bar Plus USB Flash Drive (128GB) for $13 ($8 off) at Amazon: The Bar Plus is basic but reliable if you just want a simple stick to hold and transfer files. It’s a thumb drive. This discount was seen during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale earlier this month, but it’s still within $1 of the all-time low for this drive. The 128GB model has typically sold for between $15 and $20 over the past year.
Lexar Professional 1066x microSD Card (1TB) for $75 at Amazon ($15 off): The Professional 1066x is a practical (if unremarkable) microSD card that we’ve recommended in the past. This is another Prime Day leftover sale, but it’s about $15 off the street price we’ve typically seen on the 1TB model over the past few months.
Razer Basilisk V3 Gaming Mouse for $40 ($30 off) on Amazon: For those who don’t mind cables and prefer a more ergonomic right-handed shape, our gaming mouse buying guide recommends the Basilisk V3. Recommended. This deal has been in place for several weeks, but it still matches the lowest price ever for this device. Note that Razer released an updated version with an improved sensor earlier this month. We’ll test that out soon, but the actual upgrade appears to be fairly small.
