Memorial Day deals linger after long weekend

You can still save big, the best Memorial Day deals aren't gone yet.

The Verge’s roundup shows the biggest discounts are sticking around, not just for a few hours but for days after the long weekend. If you’ve been waiting for a signal to upgrade, this snapshot of what’s still on sale matters, especially for portable tech and audio gear. The headline item is the new MacBook Air, with a solid $200 off, keeping the affordable MacBook in reach for shoppers eyeing productivity on the go. It’s a reminder that even a new model can still arrive with a price tag that makes that daily commute a little sweeter for your budget.

In the audio tier, Nothing’s second over-ear headphones sit at $169 at both Amazon and Nothing’s own store, a discount that puts real-world listening quality within reach for listeners who prize a discreet design and long battery life. Bose also stays in the conversation with the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), which have dropped from $299 to $249 and are available at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. For Samsung users, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $149.99 at Best Buy, a $100 cut that makes these true wireless earbuds one of the clearer value propositions for Galaxy device owners who want crisp sound and convenient on-device controls.

Beyond headphones and laptops, The Verge notes that a broad swath of Memorial Day favorites remains discounted, from portable speakers to outdoor gear such as solar lights, as well as 4K OLED TVs and other everyday essentials. The lingering effect of the holiday push means shoppers can still compare prices across retailers that weren’t strictly running Memorial Day campaigns but are matching many of the same price points. In practice, that can translate to real savings without sprinting from store to store in the final hours of a weekend.

Two practical takeaways for shoppers navigating these lingering deals: first, price matching across retailers matters. If you see a price on the same item at multiple outlets, you can often rely on those price points sticking around longer than a single promotional window. Second, watch for new model versus current model dynamics. The MacBook Air deal is framed as a discount on the new model in circulation, which can affect performance and resale value down the line, even if the price looks compelling at first glance. And for audio, the Bose and Nothing offers illustrate how brand tiers compete not just on price but on features such as noise cancellation, battery life, and comfort, which can shift the true value of a discount once you account for how you use them.

Bottom line: if you’re in the market for a laptop or upgraded earbuds, this is not a one-off clearance. The post-holiday pricing landscape remains favorable, with solid cash savings on big-ticket items and enough cross-retailer matching to keep the deals accessible for a few more days. If you don’t need a device right this instant, you may still want to watch for post-holiday adjustments, but for buyers with current needs, today’s prices are compelling enough to consider pulling the trigger.
