If the Pumpkin Spite Latte’s return to Starbucks didn’t already alert you, Labor Day Weekend’s arrival certainly will. Fall is coming, whether you’re anticipating the season change or dreading it. The unofficial last hurrah of summer, Labor Day is the perfect excuse to squeeze in some last-minute beach days, backyard barbecues, and shopping sprees (obviously).

With tech prices constantly rising, major shopping holidays like Amazon’s Labor Day sale are your best opportunity to score the devices you want at a discount. We’ve already noticed all-time low prices on some of our favorite TVs of 2026 and noise-canceling headphones we adore. Plus, we’re seeing some of the best discounts on Apple gear and Amazon devices since price hikes went into effect.

Here are some of the best deals we’ve spotted at Amazon.

Why we like it

The M4 iPad Air is hands down our top pick for an iPad for most people. While it’s incredibly similar to its predecessor, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It features a thin and lightweight build, brilliant Liquid Retina display, insanely fast performance powered by the M4 chip, and Apple’s N1 and C1X connectivity chips. Mashable’s tech editor says it’s powerful enough to handle memory-intensive programs like Final Cut Pro and even goes as far as calling it “way overpowered for most users.” It starts at $749 for the 128GB version after the price hike, but for Labor Day, it’s $100 cheaper.

Stock is running low across all color options, so grab it before it sells out. Otherwise, the 256GB option is still in stock for just $100 more.

Why we like it

Amazon surprised everyone with a monstrous price hike across all of its Fire TV, Kindle, and Echo devices earlier this month. This is the first big sale since the price hike, so we’re happy to see many of these devices still getting the deal treatment. The Echo Show 11 is down to $189.99, which is $30 cheaper than its original price before the increase. Dubbed Amazon’s “most advanced smart displays yet,” the Echo Show 11 features the new in-house AZ3 Pro chips and Omnisense technology for AI-based, highly personalized experiences. There’s also front-facing stereo speakers, a custom woofer for spatial audio, ambient visuals that adapt to your environment, and a built-in 13-megapixel camera that can recognize faces.

Why we like it

It’s been out less than six months, but it’s already our top pick for a QLED TV for most people. That “SQD” in the title stands for “super quantum dot mini LEDS,” which is a lot of tech jargon for extremely bright quantum dots. Mashable’s TV expert calls it one of the brightest TVs you can buy, period, shouting out its “superb peak brightness, detailed picture quality, and fantastic glare handling.” The 65-inch model clocks in at $2,499.99 on a normal day, but it’s down to a best-ever $1,397.99 at Amazon for Labor Day — a 44% discount.

Why we like it

These headphones have been replaced by the XM6s, but like most modern tech, the upgrades are iterative. “The XM5 headphones hold up well in 2026, and they’re still worth the investment, especially when they’re on sale,” Mashable’s reviewer writes. They offer 30 hours of battery life, an attractive design, legendary ANC, customizable sound quality, and good call quality. The only thing we aren’t crazy about is that they don’t fold up for travel. Originally retailing for $400, they’re now much more affordable at under $200. For comparison, the newer XM6s are right around $400 on sale.
