The best tech weekend deals on headphones, keyboards and more

0

Prime Day is officially behind us – well, sort of. The annual two-day shopping blitz saw an abundance of terrific discounts, from noise-canceling headphones to brilliant OLED TVs, some of which stuck around for the rest of the week. Retailers are already moving forward, however, and we’re already seeing an influx of offers ahead of Independence Day, including a big discount on one of our favorite pairs of noise-canceling headphones, the Bose 700.

But eBay isn’t the only one offering discounts this weekend. Right now, you can also save on Apple’s Deluxe Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro, the perfect summer speaker, and the white whale that is Microsoft’s Xbox Series S.

While we don’t always recommend picking up used gear, it’s hard to ignore a 15% discount on already discounted and certified refurbished products. In anticipation of July 4, eBay is offering just that, slashing prices (up to $ 150) on some of the best noise-canceling headphones, as well as chargers, smart thermostats, and a range of other popular items.

To take advantage of the limited time offer, simply use the promo code SAVINGS JULY 4 on any of the eligible items listed here. We’ve also rounded up some of our favorite audio picks below.

Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 (Certified Refurbished)

The Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 are the company’s premium noise canceling Bluetooth headphones. In addition to excellent noise cancellation, they have up to 20 hours of battery life between charges and can connect to two devices at the same time. Use promo code SAVINGS JULY 4 to save 15% on the already reduced price of these certified reconditioned models.


Apple’s magic keyboards are easily the best way to turn Apple’s iconic tablet into a laptop, or at least something that looks like it. They offer USB-C connectivity, a trackpad, and a rugged clamshell design that delivers a great typing experience, as long as you don’t mind a little weight. Normally on sale for over $ 300, Best Buy is currently offering the Magic keyboard for $ 199, more than 40% reduction on the initial list price. Keep in mind that this model is only compatible with the third and fourth generation 12 to 9 inch iPad Pros. Read our review.

This version of Apple’s Magic Keyboard can fit the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) which charges via USB-C. It provides a set of backlit keys and a trackpad so you can be more productive or perhaps more efficient.



The arrival of summer marks many things, including the possibility of going outside. And if you’re looking to go to the pool or your backyard to hang out outside, a little bluetooth speaker can go a long way in clearing up traffic jams. Like most speakers in the Ultimate Ears line, the Wonderboom 2 delivers crisp, reliable sound, but does so in a pint-sized waterproof case that also floats and can take a bit of trouble. Temporarily in liquidation, the Wonderboom 2 is available at AT&T for $ 65, the best price we’ve seen on the portable speaker this year. Read our review.


Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2

The rugged Wonderboom 2 packs a lot of punch for the size, letting you stream 360-degree sound for up to 13 hours with or without stereo pairing. It also floats, making it a potential mainstay for a poolside party.


Like the X Series, Microsoft’s Xbox Series S wasn’t exactly easy to find, with shortages likely to continue into the second half of the year. However, if you are a Costco member – or if you don’t mind pay the $ 60 registration fee to become one – now is your chance to move on to the next generation. The S series is currently on sale at Costco for $ 290, and although it lacks a disk drive and offers only 4 teraflops of performance compared to the 12 in the Xbox Series X, it still features fast load times and more processing power than its last-gen predecessors. , Plus, it can tackle all of the same games including most Xbox One titles.

Xbox s series

Typically, the Xbox Series S costs $ 300 – if you can find it. It’s also much smaller than the more capable Xbox Series X, which also has double the storage and a disc drive.
