Memorial Day isn’t just for mattresses anymore. A refreshed set of tested deals highlights price cuts on everyday tech, with several offers set to end by the end of the day.
By the time most shoppers notice the Memorial Day banners, the deals are already starting to thin out. This year, the sales pitch includes more than home goods. Alongside discounted mattresses. the focus has shifted to practical tech you can use immediately—especially if you’re the kind of shopper who only buys when the price actually drops.
Many of the deals gathered here are time-sensitive, with multiple offers ending at the close of the day. The list has also been updated Monday, May 25: prices were checked again, expired deals were removed, six new deals were added, and the editors say they ensured accuracy throughout.
At the top of the tech list is a major headphone discount: the Sony WH-1000XM5 for $248, marked down $152. The WH-1000XM5 comes with a “frustrating” name. but the discount is meant to pull shoppers toward a proven alternative to the newer WH-1000XM6. The headphones are described as the predecessor to a favorite wireless model. and the price is framed as a rare low—coming within $5 of their all-time low.
For buyers considering over-ear headphones, the pitch is simple: these are positioned as hard to beat. They’re described as comfortable, portable, lightweight, and stylish, with a claim that they’ll make music sound great regardless of what you usually listen to.
The roundup also points shoppers to buying guides for more recommendations. including the best headphones. the best laptops. and the best cheap phones. It notes there’s additional Memorial Day deals coverage as well. but the message stays the same: if you’re waiting for a discount you can feel. this is where the numbers are moving.
All of this comes with one practical reminder built into the structure of the list itself: most of the best deals won’t last long—so if you’re watching for a real price change, the timing matters.

Why does it say “tested deals” like it’s lab stuff? Memorial Day is for grills not headphones.
If the Sony WH-1000XM5 is $248 that’s actually wild. I swear every year I blink and the deal disappears by dinner time.
So wait, it’s cheaper because it’s “within $5 of all-time low” or because they’re trying to get you to skip the XM6? Sounds like marketing math to me. I’d rather just buy whatever’s on sale at Walmart lol.
They updated it Monday May 25 but Memorial Day was already yesterday? I’m confused. Also the article said it’s “frustrating” name—maybe they’re talking about the Memorial part? Either way I don’t trust deals that “end by the end of the day” because they always change the next hour.
