Memorial Day Deals Live MacBook Air Slashed $200
By Riley Hart
Memorial Day prices aren’t dead yet, and the MacBook Air just got $200 off.
The Verge notes that even after the long weekend, deals are still being held across retailers. In particular, shoppers can still save $200 on the new MacBook Air, a tempting nudge for anyone who asked themselves if the latest Apple ultraportable is worth the plunge. The sale extends beyond laptops to a broad array of consumer tech, from portable speakers to 4K OLED TVs and noise canceling earbuds, with many retailers matching the same price points even if their official promos have ended.
On the audio front, several deals sharpen the choice for sound lovers. Nothing’s second over-ear headphones are down to $169 from $199 at both Amazon and Nothing’s own store, a price that makes them a compelling option for budget conscious buyers who still want solid sound and a few niceties like physical controls. The design is distinctive, and the model offers more than five days of battery life per charge, according to the coverage, which helps if you’re traveling or commuting with cans.
For true wireless fans who value the best possible cancellation, Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) sit at $249 for outlets like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, down from the usual premium price. The Bose branding carries weight in the noise cancellation space, and reviewers describe the Ultra Earbuds as among the strongest performers you can buy in a compact package for peace and focus.
If your device ecosystem skews toward Samsung, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $149.99 at Best Buy, matching their all‑time low. The Verge calls them a strong pick for Galaxy phone users thanks to their comfortable fit, robust sound, and reliable noise control, making them a practical top tier option without forcing an Apple style investment.
Beyond earbuds, the roundups include other Memorial Day beat drops on everything from outdoor gear to larger screens and laptops, signaling a wider price pressure across tech categories even after the holiday. The practical effect for shoppers is clear: if you delayed a purchase last weekend, some of the market’s best mainstream options still carry meaningful savings.
From a retailer and consumer perspective, the current moment highlights two enduring truths. First, price leadership remains fragmented rather than centralized; different retailers discount at different levels, and price matching across platforms keeps the door open for a bargain hunter who shops around. Second, the value proposition for buyers is highly contextual: a $200 MacBook Air discount can be transformative for someone buying a lightweight laptop, while a $50 to $100 difference on an ANC earbuds model may tilt the decision toward the Bose if you need the best possible noise cancellation, or toward Nothing or Samsung if budget or ecosystem matters more.
If you are in the market for a portable laptop or a new pair of wireless earbuds, the current slate remains unusually favorable for Memorial Day shoppers. The big question now is whether you act on the price drop or hold out for deeper seasonal promos as summer tech events loom.
In the end, the practical verdict is straightforward. If a MacBook Air fits your workflow and you can use the extra horsepower at a cleaner price, the $200 savings is compelling. For headphones, if you prioritize top tier active noise cancellation and a premium experience, Bose is the clear escalation, while if you want value with a Samsung‑friendly fit, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at $149.99 delivers strong all around. The deals last, but not forever.
