Amazon and Best Buy still have the Bose 700 wireless headphones in white for $100 off, bringing the price down to $300. This is the lowest price we’ve seen these headphones, and while still expensive, it’s a good sale on a great pair of cans. We gave the 700s a score of 90 for their fantastic noise cancellation, updated design and easy touch controls.

Sony’s excellent WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds are on sale for $178 on Amazon and just $2 more at Best Buy. Amazon and Best Buy also have the Sony WF-SP800N wireless earbuds for $168, which is $32 off their normal price of $200. The naming system makes it hard to tell these earbuds apart but all you need to know is this: both have active noise cancellation and we gave the WF-1000XM3s a score of 89 for their impressive sound quality, long battery life and handy mobile app. The more sporty WF-SP800Ns earned a score of 88 for their punchy base and relatively affordable starting price.

The new Fitbit Charge 4 tracker is still on sale for $130 at various retailers including Amazon and Best Buy. It’s part of Fitbit’s Father’s Day sale and it’s arguably the best deal of the bunch. The Charge 4 just came out a few months ago and is normally priced at $150. It’s the first Fitbit tracker (not smartwatch) in a long time to have built-in GPS, and it also has standard Fitbit Pay and a multi-day battery life. We gave it a score of 82 and it’s a good device to get if you want a health and fitness wearable that’s decidedly not a smartwatch.

Withings Steel HR

Withings Steel HR smartwatch

You can still snag a Withings Steel HR smartwatch for $120, or $60 off its normal price. The company is having a sale on all Steel HR models, and this sale price is close to the lowest price we’ve seen the smartwatch hit. The Steel HR is best for those that don’t like the overly digital look of most smartwatches because it has an analog watch face. It has a built-in heart rate monitor and can track daily activity, exercise, sleep and more.

Buy Withings Steel HR at Withings – $120

Building a smart home can be expensive but this deal from Wyze makes it affordable to get started off with a bunch of devices. Wyze’s smart home starter pack is only $79 now, down from its normal price of $110, and it includes one Wyze security camera with a 32GB microSD card, two smart sensors, one motion sensor, one Wyze bridge, two smart plugs and three Wyze smart light bulbs. To put things into perspective: one smart plug from competing brands can be $25. You’ll save a ton with this deal and get basically everything you need to start off your smart home ecosystem.

Apple’s HomePod is down to $200 again at Best Buy. This is the lowest price we’ve seen the smart speaker hit, although it has dropped this low in the past. We gave the HomePod a score of 79 when it first came out thanks to its excellent sound quality, minimalist design and AirPlay streaming capabilities.

Powerbeats Pro

You can snag Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds for $200 at Amazon right now. These buds routinely drop to this price about once a month, and we would recommend waiting until a sale like this to buy. We gave the Powerbeats Pro a score of 86 for their great battery life, improved sound and easy pairing with Apple’s H1 chip. Beats recently released new colors for these earbuds, including light blue, yellow and pink, and all of them are on sale as well.

Also, if you order the headphones this month, you could receive a limited-edition pair that have a retro-style Sennheiser logo on them and include yellow earpads. These ship randomly, so you won’t know if you got one until they arrive.

Razer peripheral bundles

Amazon has a number of Razer bundles on sale, most of which include a gaming keyboard and mouse for less than the cost of buying the two items separately. For example, buying a Razer Basilisk Ultimate mouse and BlackWidow Elite keyboard together saves you 32 percent with a final price of $230. One of the most affordable bundles gets you a BlackWidow keyboard and a Viper wired mouse for only $140.
