Amazon Cyber ​​Monday sales: Tech worth buying, according to deal experts

The Mashable Shopping team spends every morning throughout the year documenting the best deals of the day. That means we are very familiar with the historical retail prices of all the products we cover. We also spend a year testing products for updates and buying guides. So, when Black Friday starts, we are equipped to tell you which products you should really buy and if you get a good deal on them.

We’re tracking all the best Black Friday deals in one place, as well as deals by category, including laptops, headphones, TVs, and more. But since Amazon officially kicked off its Cyber ​​​​Monday (old Amazon) sale on Saturday, we thought we’d round up and find the best deals on products we’ve tested or use in our daily lives.

Here are 13 Amazon Cyber ​​Monday deals we recommend you shop:

Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac

“My work from home life can be divided into two different periods: Before the Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac and after the Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac. When I bought it, I felt it was too much to spend $100 on a mouse. But the convenience , nice muted click sound, 2.4 GHz dongle that allows me to connect it to my gaming PC under Bluetooth and my work computer via Bluetooth as well switching between the two makes it so easy it’s worth every penny – and especially when you can get it for $15 off.” –Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Big alarm clock

“Okay, I am know this is an incredibly expensive alarm clock, or for sale. However, I’m also a firm believer in investing in things you use every day (see: Logitech mouse fader). As someone who is o.) very much not a morning person despite her best efforts and b.) works East Coast hours, I decided to bite the bullet and get this alarm clock a few months back. While I got mine for cheap as it was refurbished and on sale, after months of using it, I would have happily bought it for $120. The alarm sounds are therefore a much smaller alarm than a regular iPhone alarm (which made me realize how loud the iPhone alarm makes me feel like the worst version of myself first thing in the morning). The app is easy to use, but you also don’t need to use the watch fully. Also, it looks really nice on my nightstand. ” –BA

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

“While these aren’t headphones I personally use, I spent a few months with the Bose QuietComfort Ultras last year when I tested them for Mashable’s headphone coverage. I wore them every day at work, on airplanes, and even in space. push, to edit a few episodes of -podcast my lasting impression of them is that they are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used – an opinion that Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino and and Top Shopping Reporter Dylan Haas agree I have the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones that I use every day, and while I think the Sonys are better for sound quality and transition better between devices, the Bose are more suitable for everyday wear, while still providing solid sound quality and noise cancellation And for $299, they got a new record low for Black Friday (Sony headphones. on the other hand, it’s good but is no different, as it’s down to $298 for the rest of the holiday shopping season this year). –BA

Dream Gleam hair dryer

“It’s legit that vacuum companies also make hair dryers, and after checking out Mashable’s Dreme Gleam Dyson Supersonic dupes guide, I’m glad this trend exists. speed and three heat settings. It’s light, small enough that it won’t be a pain to travel. with it or to keep it when you are not using it, and it works very well in drying the hair. It sticks to the basics, it comes with only one attachment and there are no special hair care settings you can find on pricier dryers, but if you’ve been meaning to upgrade an old dryer and aren’t all that into the idea of ​​dropping a few hundred bucks, the Dreme Gleam is a great budget option at full price and even better at 35% off.BA

Philips Hue smart bulbs

“If you buy one thing this Black Friday, let it be Philips Hue lights. I don’t think I’m surprised when I say that having smart lights in my home has changed my life. I put these suckers in every socket I can find. so I don’t have to use Big Light to control my lights. from my phone or with Alexa commands, and I have many colors and scenes in my hands to create red or purple light while watching movies I would pay (again) I paid full price for the Hue bulbs, so without hesitation I recommend buying them while they are on sale on Black Friday Philips official website.” –Miller Kern, Deputy Editor of Acquisitions and Reviews

Amazon Echo Spot

Why we love you

“I live in an Echo house. I’m obsessed with my Echo Show 10 in my kitchen/living area, and my Echo Show 5 is the mainstay of my desk. I’ve upgraded from a studio to a one-bedroom apartment for a couple. Months ago, so I needed another Echo speaker for my bedroom The Echo Spot is the perfect addition to my nightstand I can tell the time and weather at a glance, and the sound quality is amazing Such a small speaker, I connect it to my Philips Hue lights, so I can relax in bed and ask Alexa to turn the lights off or on.” –MK

Kindle Paperwhite

“I’ll be honest, I haven’t tried the new Kindle Paperwhite, but I use my previous generation Paperwhite religiously. (FWIW, my colleague, Samantha Mangino, tested the new Paperwhite and said it’s the only Kindle you need.) I never thought that I will be a reader yes, but I’m on the dark side now and I would recommend the Kindle Paperwhite to everyone the model is much faster than the last one, and it’s waterproof – meaning I can take it to the beach, the pool, and the shower without worry Now, $30 off isn’t amazing, but Kindle deals have never been so sweet For a while, with their growing popularity over the past few years, Amazon has had a problem with discounts Kindle.MK

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones

“I’ve reviewed my fair share of headphones on Mashable, and there are some that I really like for certain features, but if I had to recommend one solid, all-around pair of noise-cancelling headphones, it would easily be Sony’s flagship. The WH-1000XM5s are comfortable and stylish, and the sound quality is -Sony is ridiculously hard Noise canceling headphones with Sonos Ace or Dyson OnTrac, both the one I checked and liked is cheap at $297.48.” –MK

Razer Hammerhead HyperSpeed ​​gaming earbuds

“I love a comfortable over-the-ear gaming headset, but sometimes it can feel too heavy to wear for hours on end. That’s why I’m so grateful for these gaming earbuds from Razer, which give my aching ears a break. from one of my many traditional headsets that work like AirPods, with -Decent ANC, and they have very low latency for wireless gaming earbuds and they sound great on the receiving end, too!” –Dylan Haas, Lead Business Reporter

TheraGun Pro massage gun

“I train Muay Thai at least three days a week, and as I get older, my body is getting stronger. After I injured my hip last year, I thought I should take a long break from the activity I love, but thanks to my Theragun Pro (and some physical therapy), I was able to quick recovery and without much pain Now, I use it every time I warm up before training to loosen my hips, and it helps me feel like I actually have years 29 instead of 80.” –DH

Zojirushi rice cooker

“I recently got this rice cooker as a wedding gift from a friend, and it has become my favorite kitchen item in my home. It’s easy to use, and my rice comes out great. you are literally perfect always now. I also love that it plays ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ every time I start it. It’s just lovely! Now that I’ve experienced the magic of Zojirushi for myself, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back. I can’t believe I’ve ever made rice in a pot. That made me very sad looking back. ” –DH

Anker Zolo power bank

“My boyfriend is a touring musician with an iPhone that’s several generations old. So, needless to say, it’s not charging like it used to. Not to mention, it’s seeing a lot of use on long travel days. I bought him this power bank before his last tour and he’s still talking about it. The 20,000mAh battery can power up his phone dead a few times before needing to be recharged, features 30W dual charging, so it doesn’t take a million years to bring your phone back to life For those with phones new, and has a built-in USB-C cable for $25.19 with a coupon on the page — TBH – Christina Buff, Business Journalist

Sansi clip-on increase brightness

“These 5W grow lights from Sansi made the transition to 5:00 pm sunset a breeze for my small potted plants. Instead of disturbing your plant’s roots with a metal rod (like many other small lights), Sansi lights stick to the side for almost any pot The 360-degree gooseneck allows you to direct the light but your choice and there are four different light levels you have to go through Set a timer for three, six, or 12 hours and forget about it only to pick them up before they sell out -.
