Sony WH-1000XM4: $349.99 $249.99 at Best Buy
Before we dive into our official list, I wanted to start things off by mentioning this deal that slashes $100 off the Sony WH-1000XM4, my personal favorite pair of headphones and one of the best wireless headphones on the market today. These cans boast a sleek foldable design, some awesome noise cancelling capabilities, and up to 30 hours of battery life. They're also considerably cheaper than the newer Sony XM5s without skipping out on a lot of features that make those headphones great.

You're getting a powerful Snapdragon chipset, up to two days of battery life, and an elegant 165Gz pOLED display that could rival any of the best phones on the market. Pick up the unlocked Edge Plus during Best Buy's weekend sale and you'll get a straight $200 off your purchase, plus a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
