As Lifehacker's deals writer, I'm always looking for the best bargains on TVs, speakers, laptops, and other tech. Now that it's Friday, I've gathered together this week's sales highlights, all of which I've vetted using my favorite price-tracking tools to make sure they are actually good deals.
This week, early Prime Day deals have started, and you can find bargains on the newest Sonos Arc Ultra, the Nintendo Switch 2, the latest Apple Watch, AirPods Max, and more.
The Apple Watch 11 is $100 off right now
The Series 11 is Apple's middle-of-the-pack smartwatch. Right now, both versions of the Series 11 (the GPS model and the GPS + cellular model) are on sale during Amazon's early Prime Day deals. The GPS version starts at $299 (originally $399) and the GPS + Cellular version starts at $399 (originally $499). If you're looking for the bigger 46mm size, they're both also at least $100 off in the GPS and cellular versions—and these are the lowest prices these models have ever reached, according to price-tracking tools.
This massive TCL Mini-LED TV is $1,000 off
The QM7K is last year's mid-tier QD-Mini LED smart TV, and it offers great value for your money. Right now, the TCL 98QM7K is currently selling for $1,997.99, down from its regular $2,999.99 price and the lowest price recorded so far, according to price trackers. Its highlights include a bright panel, making it great for sunlit rooms. It has deep blacks and almost no light bloom, giving it that premium picture quality.
This is your best chance to get the Switch 2 before the price spikes
If you've been holding off on buying a Nintendo Switch 2, now might be the time to pull the trigger. Right now, Woot is offering a one-time sale on the new console, and first-time customers can knock an extra $15 off the price by using the promo code NEW15 at checkout through June 19, with a limit of one per customer. The timing of this deal is even more noteworthy, given that Nintendo recently announced that the price of the Switch 2 would increase in September.
This is Your chance to get the AirPods Pro 3 for $179
The latest AirPods Pro are a big step up. The third iteration of Apple's iconic earbuds comes with a number of quality-of-life and software improvements that make them worth the typical premium over the AirPods Pro 2—and right now, the AirPods Pro 3 are even cheaper than the previous generation. They're $179 on Amazon as an early Prime Day deal, down from $249 and matching their lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools.
The Sonos Arc Ultra is $200 off
You can get Sonos' latest flagship soundbar, the Arc Ultra, for $899 (originally $1,099) after a $200 discount. The Arc Ultra succeeded the already excellent Arc Soundbar, adding Bluetooth and a more immersive audio experience, with deeper bass and clearer dialogue, according to PCMag's "outstanding" review. This is a very long soundbar, measuring 2.95 by 46.38 by 4.35 inches, so make sure you have the space for it.
The Samsung S90F OLED TV is less than $1,000
If you're looking for an OLED that offers the best value for your money in 2026, consider the 50-inch Samsung S90F OLED. It's always been a great value option (for an OLED), but right now it's going for $979 (originally $1,999.99). This is the lowest price this TV has ever reached. The S90F is the lowest-priced OLED TV from Samsung's 2025 lineup, and a step below the more premium S95F. For around half the price, the S90F cuts out some features that might not be essential for you anyway: It has lower brightness (though it's still pretty good) no anti-reflective coating, and no connection box (that is, an external input/output hub with HDMI, power, and USB for reducing cable clutter).
The Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds are 40% off
The fantastic first-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are going for $179 (originally $299) on Amazon, the lowest price they've ever reached. Though they're an older model, the first-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth earbuds are still excellent earbuds in 2026. They received an "outstanding" review from PCMag, not just for their best-in-class ANC, but for their great audio quality in general, Spatial audio support, and diverse codec Bluetooth support with AAC and AptX, which makes them great for Android and Apple users alike.
The best Apple headphones are $50 off
The new AirPods Max 2 are getting their first decent discount, currently $499.99 (originally $549.99), their lowest price yet. The biggest upgrades to the AirPods Max 2 include the new "dynamic range" amplifier and Apple's H2 chip (no longer the H1). But there are many other upgrades that are also worth noting.
My favorite travel headphones are $200 off
The JBL Tour One M3 headphones are my favorite traveling headphones, but Lifehacker writer Stephen Johnson said he liked them so much they turned him into an audio snob. They're on sale for $299.95 (originally $449.95), the lowest price Amazon has ever offered.
This 100-inch Hisense QLED is $1,200 off
This Hisense U8QG QLED TV is a huge 100-inch QLED TV—and right now, it’s more than $1,200 off, taking it down to $2,797.96, its lowest price ever. With Mini-LED backlighting, this TV gets super bright—it can hit up to 5,000 nits peak brightness and has up to 5,600 local dimming zones. This results in deep blacks, bold contrast, and high-performing HDR in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and hybrid log gamma (HLG).
