We’re in that weird period between Amazon’s October Prime Day event and next month’s Black Friday sale, so it’s a slow week for tech deals. Still, we found some huge discounts on premium OLED TVs from Samsung and LG, the entry-level Apple Pencil, our favorite cheap running earbuds, recommended power banks, Sony headphones, and more. Here are this week’s best tech deals you can still buy today.
Samsung S90C OLED TV (65″) for $1,300 at Best Buy ($300 off MSRP): The S90C’s QD-OLED panel blends the typical benefits of an OLED TV — great contrast with deep black tones, crisp motion, wide viewing angles, and so on — with a layer of quantum dots.
The latter helps it deliver a wider gamut of more vibrant colors and generally better brightness than traditional OLED sets. This model dates to 2023, but it’s gotten high marks all over the web, and the gap between it and the new S90D isn’t huge. For reference, that updated set costs $300 more as of this writing.
We may see further discounts as Black Friday approaches, but for now this deal is only $20 more than the lowest price we’ve tracked for the 65-inch model. It’s also available at Amazon, though from a third-party seller.
At Amazon LG C3 OLED TV (65″) for $1,297 ($203 off): The LG C3 is another well-known premium TV from last year. Its WOLED panel isn’t as bright or color-rich as a good QD-OLED set, but it offers great contrast, motion response, and viewing angles. Like the S90C, it has four HDMI 2.1 ports and can run in 4K at 120Hz, which is the maximum refresh rate supported by the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Unlike the S90C, it supports the popular Dolby Vision HDR format. Its webOS software is generally easier to navigate than Samsung’s Tizen platform. Aside from select in-store deals and a very rare drop to $1,245 earlier this year, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the 65-inch variant. Again, there’s a newer model available, but most reviews suggest it’s not a huge upgrade, and it’s worth an extra $300 right now.
Sony ULT Wear for $148 at Amazon ($52 off): Although the ULT Wear isn’t at the top of our guide to the best wireless headphones, at this price they’re worth considering if you like a (very) bass-heavy sound profile.
Decent active noise cancellation, a refined design, above-average call quality, and a solid 40-hour battery life add to the appeal, though again, you really need to be a “basshead” to enjoy them. We gave this pair a score of 78 in our review. This deal is the lowest score we’ve seen so far, and it’s also available at Walmart.
Apple Pencil (USB-C) for $65 at Walmart ($14 off): This is a new low score for Apple’s entry-level iPad stylus. This model doesn’t support pressure sensitivity or wireless charging, so those who can afford to buy one of Apple’s more expensive Pencils should do so. But if you just want a pen for casual doodling or note-taking — or if you have a 10th-generation iPad that doesn’t support these better options — this will do the job at a more than decent price.
Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) for $300 at Amazon ($49 off): Yes, the 13-inch iPad Pro is more iPad than most people need, so spending $300 more to pair it with a keyboard is definitely overkill. But if you’re set on making the Pro your main computer, the keyboard itself remains great, and this deal lets you save some money compared to buying directly from Apple. That’s another new low.
JLab Go Air Sport for $14 at Amazon ($16 off): The Go Air Sport is the budget pick in our guide to the best running headphones. They’re not the neatest set of wireless earbuds, but their hook-style design stays in place when you’re 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 on-page coupon, and note that this only applies to the teal colorway. The other colors are also on sale for $20, which is still a decent value.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max + Xbox Core Wireless Controller (Sky Cipher) + 1-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $80 at Amazon ($67 off):
If you’re looking for a streaming stick and a new Xbox controller, Amazon is bundling its top-end Fire TV Stick with a gamepad at a discount. It’s a deal mainly because it includes the “Sky Cipher” version of the Series X/S pad, which typically costs between $60 and $70. (If you don’t care about the color, you’ll be able to save more by buying the Max and a standard Xbox controller separately around Black Friday.)
Amazon is selling this bundle to tout the streamer’s ability to play Xbox games over the cloud, so it’s also throwing in a month of Game Pass Ultimate. The 4K Max still promotes Prime Video and other Amazon services above all else, but it’s faster, and it supports all the major apps.
