When it comes to the best headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones take the throne as our top pick. These over-ear headphones offer crisp sound, market-leading ANC, and an impressive 30-hour battery life. 

ZDNET’s Matthew Miller tested the pair while traveling, commuting, working, or even relaxing and rated the headphones a rare 5/5, highlighting their “outstanding microphone quality.” His only critiques for the pair were that the 360 Realty Audio feature requires a compatible music service and that the headphones fall on the pricier side. Luckily, ahead of the holiday season, these headphones are on sale at Walmart for $82 less, making them the perfect headphone investment for you or a loved one.

If you are shopping for a TV this holiday season or simply interested in the latest top-performing TV offerings, the Samsung QN90C TV is a great selection currently on sale at Walmart. ZDNET’s pick for best TV overall offers an updated Neo QLED panel, integrated speakers, and 120Hz refresh rates at 4K resolution. 

TV expert, Artie Beaty, tested the 2023 Neo QLED TV and praised its “color-accurate pictures and immersive sound” as well as its gaming features. He notes the TV has a few minor annoyances, including wobbliness and a difficult installation process. However, he notes the picture quality and top gaming characteristics make up for the minor strains.

Apple AirTags are my go-to tracking device for surviving everyday life. Time and time again, they have saved me from daily annoyances such as losing my wallet, forgetting my keys, or even tracking my lost luggage. 

While I would spend $100 on a four-pack in a heartbeat due to the countless times I’ve had to rely on my tags. Walmart has made it even more enticing to get AirTags for just $87. These tiny but mighty devices just make life so much easier and have endless possibilities of use — including tracking your child’s favorite toy, finding a parking spot, or even tracking your pet’s whereabouts.

If you have limited time to keep your home clean and tidy, robot vacuums are the best investment to optimize your day-to-day cleaning. As the holiday season approaches, you can find great deals on top-performing robot vacuums, such as this $500 Yeedi Cube Walmart deal. 

The Yeedi Cube is both a robot vacuum with a 4,300Pa suction and a vibrating mop that cleans at 2,500 times per minute. ZDNET’s Maria Diaz tested the Yeedi Cube and says it is ideal for people who don’t have kids since its AI-powered object avoidance is not the best job at avoiding toys. Instead, she believes it is “a great fit for anyone looking for a midrange robot vacuum and mop with hands-free cleaning.”

This year, the highly anticipated holiday shopping sales event known as Black Friday falls on Nov. 24, the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 23, 2023. Cyber Monday falls on Nov. 27, the Monday after Thanksgiving. 

However, as has been the case the past few years, many manufacturers and retailers are offering holiday discounts ahead of the Cyber Week deals event. Big retailers, such as Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart, are among those offering great deals on all sorts of tech products. 

Black Friday deals at Walmart will begin online on Nov. 8 at 3 p.m. ET and continue in stores until Nov. 10, and Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. ET and continue in stores until Nov. 24 (Black Friday). The Cyber Monday deals will occur online on Nov. 27. Walmart + members will be able to access deals three hours before they begin. 

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. 

Walmart is known for its incredible deals and offerings and sells a wide variety of products — including some of our favorite tech products such as laptops, tablets, TVs, headphones, wearables, and more. In fact, the company prides itself and claims that 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart store.
This holiday shopping season, some of our favorite deals are for the Sony WH-1000XM5, (our top pick for best headphones), the Acer Aspire 3 (our pick for the best budget-friendly laptop), and the Samsung QN90C TV (our top pick for the best TVs you can buy).
