Early Big Spring Sale Offers

While this discount is common, we would be remiss not to mention it, as it represents the best offer we’ve come across for the most exceptional headphones we’ve tested. Out of the many headphones our reviewers have assessed, the WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is unrivaled in battery life (30 hours), audio quality (thanks to Sony’s processing and 30-mm drivers), and noise cancellation (featuring automatic audio pause).

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) stand out as the finest wireless earbuds for Android users. Compact and stylish, they offer a remarkably comfortable fit alongside superb noise cancellation. With eight hours of battery life and impressive sound quality, they also hold an IP54 water resistance rating, making them gym-friendly. It’s not often that we see these on sale, so now is a great time to grab them.

While these have dropped to $329 previously, this is still a strong deal for the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends), our top pick for noise-canceling headphones. They deliver excellent sound quality and come with a sleek design, remaining comfortable across all three color options that are currently discounted (black, white, and navy blue).

The Google Pixel 9 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is among our top-rated Android smartphones, and this price drop is one of the best we’ve seen for it to date. There’s also a discount on the 1-TB model, but it’s only available in black. This smart device is filled with AI features that streamline daily tasks, including call screening, Direct My Call (which assists in navigating automated menus), photo editing options, Circle to Search, and more. With a fantastic camera and a vapor-chamber cooling system for efficient heat dissipation compared to the basic Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro is designed for long-term use, receiving software updates for seven years. Don’t forget to grab a protective case!

The Google Pixel Watch 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) emerges as our top choice for Android smartwatches. It features standard offerings such as fitness and sleep tracking, reliable heart rate monitoring, and fall detection, along with advanced features like pulse loss detection and new AI updates tailored for running (though the latter does have its quirks). Reviews editor Julian Chokkattu especially endorses the 45-mm model due to its superior battery life.

This outstanding cordless vacuum cleaner has previously been priced as low as $550 but typically hovers around $600 (and doesn’t frequently go on sale). It’s considered the best Dyson for most users, equipped with all the necessary features (including strong suction, a 60-minute runtime, and several attachments). A distinctive neon green laser lights up the ground in front of the vacuum head, ensuring you can spot any dust particles you might miss.

The Sonos Era 100 is often found at its full price or around $199. Currently, however, it’s one of those rare occasions when you should buy it if you’ve had your eye on it, as it seldom sells for lower. The Sonos Era 100 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is regarded as the best Sonos speaker available. It features onboard controls for volume and playback, along with a physical switch to disable the integrated microphone. True to Sonos’ legacy, the speaker delivers exceptional sound quality that fills the room. You can stream music via either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and the device includes a room-tuning feature that automatically adjusts audio based on its surroundings.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 might not be suitable for everyone, but it is the best tablet under $200. Keep in mind, though, that it frequently goes on sale. If you don’t mind a few workarounds for accessing the Google Play Store and are okay with Amazon’s services being front and center, this is a solid budget tablet ideal for gaming and movie watching. It supports USB-C charging and has hands-free Alexa functionality.

Our favorite smart bird feeder is this innovative model. Initially, we weren’t impressed with the Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder (6/10, WIRED Review) due to its price and quirky AI features. However, it has since improved significantly, boasting enhanced AI and a reduced price. Although its bird identification accuracy is occasionally off, it outperforms other brands for a lower price point (even considering the optional $5 monthly subscription). Functioning both as a bird feeder and security camera, it offers a 1080p view and color night vision. This version includes a solar panel, allowing it to stay charged after installation.

While this smart bird feeder’s smartphone app isn’t impressive, its premium features (like 2K video and AI recognition) are locked behind a subscription costing $4 per month or $48 annually. The subscription may not be justified, given the inconsistent AI and limited 10-second video clips. Nonetheless, the long battery life, which can extend beyond two months in testing due to the solar panel, and the light for nighttime viewing, make it a budget-friendly choice for exploring the realm of smart feeders.

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine ranks among our top Dyson vacuums. It includes both a wet roller head and drip tray, enabling it to function as both a vacuum and a mop. Capable of cleaning approximately 1,000 square feet on one battery charge and fill of the water tank, it provides up to an hour of runtime and approximately 4.5 hours to recharge. For those seeking a wet/dry vacuum that isn’t robotic, this Dyson model is a fantastic option.

This countertop pizza oven gained popularity on TikTok, and it’s among the best models we’ve tested. With a 12-inch cooking surface, it can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (in around 15 minutes). Regular rotation of your pizzas is necessary as it loses heat quickly from the top, resulting in a longer cooking time. However, it serves as an excellent choice for those wanting to create homemade pizzas without needing large outdoor equipment.

This compact table made our top picks for standing desks. Functions well as a bedside table or an over-bed desk, making it easy to relocate due to its built-in wheels. You can effortlessly adjust the height by pressing the lever beneath, making it convenient for those who work from their couch or patio. The 28- by 16-inch surface area offers substantial room to work without occupying excessive space.

This charming cat water fountain is our top budget choice, with an additional discount available by clipping the coupon on the page. Featuring a dishwasher-safe metal bowl, it also includes a transparent viewing window to monitor the water level. The fountain allows for multiple configurations (waterfall and two bubble-up modes) to suit your cat’s preference. Replacement filters are reasonably priced, and the reservoir holds 2.4 liters.

While a $5 discount may not appear significant, discounts on Owala items are quite scarce. This tumbler is among our favorite travel mugs, providing great value (now at five dollars less than usual). It keeps beverages hot for around six hours and cold for 24 hours, with fun color options. The slider mechanism is user-friendly, and the bottle is free from lead, BPA, and phthalates.

This deal represents just $2 above the best price we’ve tracked for this model, which rarely drops in price. The FreeSip Twist is hailed as the premier reusable water bottle—similar to the FreeSip (9/10, WIRED Recommends), but featuring a twist-off lid instead of a flip-top. The innovation lies in the FreeSip design, allowing you to sip your drink like a straw or tip the bottle for a full pour. Available in numerous colorful styles and free from lead, BPA, and phthalates, it’s a solid pick.

The Instant Pot Vortex Plus stands out as the finest air fryer we’ve experienced. Its usual retail price fluctuates between $140 to $90, and it has only seen a few lower price points previously. Offering precise temperature control, it crisps food while retaining moisture. The basket heats up quickly, and the intuitive display simplifies operation. Reviewer Matthew Korfhage appreciated its non-beeping controls—the simple dial allows for discreet usage.
