PLUS: 40 percent off camping gear at REI.
Labor Day means sales on some of our favorite WIRED-tested tech. Here are some of the deals we’re most excited about.
It’s the best time to buy …
• Headphones: WIRED commerce editor and headphone expert Harry Rabinowitz has been shouting at anyone who will listen that the premium Sony WH-1000XM5 is the Sony headphone deal to grab before Labor Day: It’s $199, down from $399. “Fifty percent off is something you almost never see in headphone land,” he says. “This is even more true for premium, best-in-class cans like the XM5s.”
• Outdoor gear: The REI Labor Day Sale features WIRED faves for up to 40 percent off, and REI Co-Op members save up to 20 percent on any REI Outlet item. The best-value backpacking tent, the REI Co-Op Half Dome 2 Tent With Footprint, is now only $198 ($131 off).
• Power banks: The Amazon 2026 Labor Day Sale still offers some of the best deals of the year on an assortment of tech and home gear, including the best deal we've seen this year on WIRED’s favorite laptop power bank, the EcoFlow Rapid Pro X, for $180 ($100 off).
The majority of these Labor Day sales will run throughout the weekend and start tapering off by Tuesday. We’ll be updating throughout the weekend, swapping any dead deals and adding in any new deals we think are worth checking out.
