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, you can find great deals on the new Hisense CanvasTV, a Samsung OLED TV, the AirPods Max 2, my favorite travel headphones, and more. Plus, early Memorial Day deals are in full swing.

The Hisense CanvasTV is $500 off

This is the new 2026 S7 CanvasTV, and right now, the 50-inch model is $798.99 (originally $1,299.99) after a $500 discount. That’s the lowest price it has ever been. This newer version improves on the peak brightness, bringing it up to 500 nits (as opposed to 450 nits) and an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness and color based on your room’s brightness (you can turn this off). The side viewing angle is supposed to be better, but to what extent we’ll have to wait for reviews to confirm.

The Samsung S90F OLED TV is $550 off

If you’re looking for an OLED that offers the best value for your money in 2026, consider the 55-inch Samsung S90F OLED. It’s always been a great value option, but right now it’s going for $1,044.99 ($553 off the list price of $1,597.99). 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—see below), 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 Samsung Galaxy S25+ is $300 off

The Galaxy S25+ is the middle-of-the-pack model of the S25 series, and a cheaper alternative to the then top-of-the-line Galaxy S25 Ultra. PCMag gave the Galaxy S25 an “excellent” review for its useful AI features, better battery life than the Ultra (around 15 hours on a single charge), outstanding cameras, and long software support. Currently, you can pick one up for $699.99 ($300 off the original $999.99 retail price), and still get one of the best Android phones you can buy in 2026.

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 Google Pixel 9 is $350 off

If you’re looking for a big discount on a middle-of-the-pack Pixel, the 128 GB unlocked Pixel 9 is just $449 (originally $799) after a $350 discount. That’s the lowest price it has been since its release. The Pixel 9 comes with 12GB of RAM, starts with 128GB of memory storage, a maximum 120 HZ refresh rate, and the Android 14 operating system. This phone is so good that you likely won’t miss the features of the Pro model anyway. The AI features still have hiccups, but will likely keep improving over time; the most important thing to get right is the hardware, and this is among the best smartphones Google has made so far.

The best Apple headphones are $40 off

The new AirPods Max 2 are getting their first decent discount, currently $509.99 (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.


What do you think so far?

The M4 iPad Air 11-inch is $80 off

The latest iPad Air, the M4, is already decently discounted despite being released in March. When the 11-inch iPad Air M4 dropped, Walmart undercut other retailers by offering it for $559—though Amazon has beaten that price, currently selling it for $519.99 (originally $599.99).

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 $349.94 (originally $449.95), the lowest price Amazon has ever offered.

This Marshall portable speaker is $70 off

This Marshall Bluetooth Speaker is a modern, high-quality speaker housed in a cabinet patterned after the famous Marshall Stack amplifier. It’s designed to be taken outdoors, resist the elements with its waterproof IP67 rating, and play for long sessions with its 32-hour playtime. It does all these things well while looking and feeling premium. The sound it produces is distortion-free, even at max volume, which is surprising for a small portable speaker, and it’s loud for its size. You can get it for $129.99 (originally $199.99).

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).
