Labor Day marks the unofficial end to summer as the weather starts to get
crisper and students head back to school for the new semester. It also marks
a good time to check out the tech deals available across the web. While
seasonal holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day are not the boon for tech
sales that shopping events like Amazon Prime Day are, they can present good
opportunities to save on things like laptops, tablets, smart home gear and
more.

Here, we've curated the best Labor Day sales on tech we could find this year.
Since this time of year does overlap with the back-to-school season, students
should be first in line to check out these deals. If you need some new
gadgets for college, or refreshed tech to help you out in your first job
after graduating, now's the time to see if you can get it for less. Student
discounts are handy and exclusive to those who can prove their student
status, but the good thing about Labor Day sales is that anyone can take
advantage of them ΓÇö student ID not required.

Best Labor Day sales: Engadget's top picks

Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $169 (32 percent off): The AirPods Pro 2 are
AppleΓÇÖs best set of wireless earbuds for now, as they offer the full set of
Apple-focused features, strong ANC, onboard volume controls, a comfy in-ear
design and a warm sound profile that most should find agreeable. They can
even work as a hearing aid, though their six-hour battery life still isnΓÇÖt
the best, and you should only get them if youΓÇÖre all-in on Apple hardware.
But if thatΓÇÖs the case, we consider them the best wireless earbuds for
iPhone owners.

Apple Mac mini M4 for $499 ($100 off): The newest version of AppleΓÇÖs tiny
desktop PC has a smaller overall footprint, a faster M4 chip, 16GB of RAM as
standard, two front-facing USB-C ports, an extra Thunderbolt 4 port and the
ability to drive three external displays. We gave the M4 Pro model a review
score of 90.

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $274 (32 percent off): The XM6 headphones may
be the latest flagship pair from Sony, but the XM5 cans are still fantastic
ΓÇö especially when you can get them at a discount. They were our top pick
for the best wireless headphones before the XM6 came out recently, and we
still think the XM5 have excellent noise cancellation and sound quality, a
comfortable design and handy features like multipoint connectivity.

Google Pixel 10 smartphone + $100 Amazon gift card for $799 ($100 off): More
of a pre-order deal than a Labor Day deal, this bundle includes a free gift
card when you order the latest Google Pixel phone in advance. You'll find
different gift card deals at Amazon depending on which phone you go with: the
Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL have a $200 gift cards included, while the Pixel 10
Pro Fold comes with a free $300 gift card.

Blink Outdoor 4 security cameras (3 camera system) for $100 (47 percent off):
Some of our favorite security cameras, Blink Outdoor 4 devices support 1080p
video, two-way talk, motion alerts and night vision. The most convenient
thing about these is that they're totally wireless and run on AA batteries
that can last up to two years before you need to replace them. That combined
with their weather-proof design allows you to place them both inside and
outside.

Eufy 11S Max robot vacuum for $150 (46 percent off): This model is one of our
favorite budget robot vacuums thanks to its slim design that lets you get
underneath furniture more easily and strong suction power for its size. Note
that it does not have Wi-Fi connectivity, but it comes with a remote that
lets you control the robot to your liking.

Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum for $298 (50 percent off): This Shark robot
vacuum is a version of one of our favorites and it comes with a auto-empty
base that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris. It has strong suction power
and home mapping capabilities, so you can tailor cleaning jobs to your liking
in addition to putting the robot on a cleaning schedule.

Cosori 9-in-1 air fryer for $90 (25 percent off): One of our picks for the
best air fryers, this Cosori model has a spacious six-quart cooking basket
and nine prep modes to choose from. In our testing, it consistently crisped
up all kinds of foods, from frozen appetizers to raw proteins, and it has a
nifty safety feature with its built-in basket release button.

HORI Piranha Plant camera for Switch 2 for $40 (33 percent off): If you plan
on taking advantage of the Switch 2's video and group chat feature, there's
no cuter way to do it than with this Piranha Plant camera. In addition to
using it with the pot as a stand, the plant itself detaches from the pot so
you can use the camera in portable mode with the USB port on the new console.

ESPN Unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) for $30/month ($6/month off):
ESPNΓÇÖs new streaming service is officially available now, and new
subscribers can get Disney+ and Hulu included for one year when they sign up.
The regular price of the new ESPN Unlimited plan is $30 per month, but this
bundle offer throws in Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) for one year at no extra
cost. If you want to break it down, youΓÇÖre essentially getting each of the
three services for $10 monthly with this offer.

NordVPN deal ΓÇö Get up to 77 percent off two-year plans: Most of NordVPN's
two-year plans are on sale right now. You'll get 77 percent off the Prime
tier, bringing the price down to $189 for 27 months of service (Nord throws
in an extra three months for free). Arguably the best plan for most people is
the Plus tier, which is 73 percent off and down to $108 for the 27-month
term.

MasterClass deal ΓÇö Get 50 percent off one-year subscriptions: You can sign
up for one year of MasterClass access for as low as $5 per month thanks to
this sale that runs through September 1. A subscription lets you watch
hundreds of online video classes taught by experts in their fields, and
subject matter ranges from writing to cooking to sports.
