When you think of Memorial Day sales, you probably think of mattresses and other home goods. And while those items are definitely discounted, now is also a good time to purchase tech. Personally, I'm not buying anything right now unless it's discounted—and fortunately many of our top picks are. Whether you're shopping for a power bank, a new pair of headphones, or some other gadget, I've rounded up the best early Memorial Day deals for your perusal. We'll update this article again as we get closer to Memorial Day on May 26.
Check out our buying guides for more recommendations, including the best headphones, the best laptops, and the best cheap phones.
- Top-notch noise-canceling headphones: Sony WH-1000XM5 for $278 ($122 off)
- A power bank for everything: Sharge Shargeek Power Bank for $120 ($50 off)
Sony WH-1000XM5 for $278 ($122 off)
The Sony WH-1000XM5 have a very frustrating name, but they're the predecessor to our favorite wireless headphones, and they're still an excellent pick if you don't want to shell out for the WH-1000XM6. They do fall to this price pretty frequently, but if you're in the market for over-ear headphones, they're hard to beat. They're comfortable, portable, lightweight, and stylish, and they'll make your music sound great no matter what you like to listen to.

JBL
Flip 7
Our favorite Bluetooth speaker is stylish, portable, and packs surprisingly good sound for its size. Most colors are on sale.
Tribit
StormBox Micro 2
I did not even know they made separate Bluetooth speakers for bikes, but this is the best one, according to former WIRED reviewer Parker Hall. At less than $50, I am probably going to buy this as an end-of-school gift for my teen son. —Kat Merck

Apple
MacBook Air (M5, 2026)
We haven't seen our favorite laptop sell for less, though it has been on sale for this price for a few weeks. It's powerful, has a great battery life, and has a sleek whisper-quiet design.

Beats
Powerbeats Pro 2
These stunning earbuds fit securely, making them especially good for workouts. They play well with iOS and Android devices. They do go on sale for this price frequently, though.
Sharge Shargeek Power Bank for $120 ($50 off)

WIRED reviewer Simon Hill ranks this as the best-looking power bank due to its ’90s throwback clear design. It reminds me of a cyberpunk Toblerone bar, but Simon reports that it packs some legitimate power with a maximum output of 170 watts, a 24,000-mAh capacity, and an IP66 rating water-resistance rating. It supports Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0, and PPS and can fast-charge three devices simultaneously. —Kat Merck

4000A Jump Starter
The best portable jump starter regularly jumps between $120 and $108, making now a better time to buy. It can charge your phone and has a built-in light, too.

Epicka
Pulse Travel Adapter
This fantastic travel adapter is always affordable, but it doesn't sell for less than it is right now. It's ultracompact, has a good mix of ports, and will cover you in about 200 countries.
