Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, but if you can’t wait until then, July 4th often brings deals on a host of tech. We’re still about a week out from the actual holiday — which seems to commemorate our independence as much as capitalism itself — but you can already take advantage of a few sales right now at Adorama, Amazon, and a number of other retailers. They include discounts spanning a range of popular tech, too, from 4K TVs and speakers to smart lighting and robovacs.
Not every Fourth of July sale is worth shelling out for, though. Fortunately, to make sifting through the sea of lawn chairs and watermelon-laden tablecloths a little easier, we’ve rounded up some of the better deals you can already get. Take a look, and to save even more money, be sure to also check out our guide to the best early Prime Day deals.
You can currently buy Coleman’s foldable Classic Propane Gas Camping Stove for $48 ($27 off) at Walmart. The camping stove — which is ideal for car camping — is pretty basic, given it lacks an igniter and only offers two burners, but it cooks food well enough.
The Fitbit Sense 2 is on sale for $249.95 ($50 off) at Adorama. The tracker offers excellent stress-tracking features along with a physical button. It’s also both lighter and thinner, with a more comfortable design than its predecessor. Read our Fitbit Sense 2 review.
The travel-friendly Aeropress Go is on sale with 100 micro filters for $31.89 ($8 off) at REI. The manual coffee press is capable of brewing up to three 8-ounce cups of coffee at a time, yet it is light enough that you can bring it with you just about anywhere.
The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0, a stainless steel fire pit that comes with an ashtray you can use while camping or in your backyard, is on sale for $229.99 ($170 off) direct from Solo Stove.
You can buy the Wahoo Fitness RPM speed and cadence sensor bundle right now for $55.99 ($15 off) at REI and Amazon. The handy gadgets mount to your road bike, cruiser, or mountain bike, allowing you to track your cycling speed and cadence in real time.
You can buy Sony’s WH-1000XM4s with a 10,000mAh Qi wireless charger for $348 ($20 off) at Adorama. Though an older model, the headphones still offer a lot of value thanks to their stellar noise cancellation and overall sound quality. Read our review.
You can also buy the cheaper JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth speaker from REI for $99.99 ($30 off). The Bluetooth speaker offers an IP67 water rating and up to 12 hours of battery life.
Sony’s now-discontinued SRS-XB33 is on sale for $79 ($100 off) at Walmart. The tiny Bluetooth speaker offers all-day battery life, good sound quality, and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
Smart home deals
You can buy Nanoleaf’s nine-panel Lines Smarter Kit for $179.99 ($20 off) at Adorama, Amazon, and Best Buy. The smart LED light bars are compatible with Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Alexa and can be arranged in a wide variety of patterns.
Laptop deals
The last-gen, M1 Pro-equipped MacBook Pro 14 is on sale at Adorama with 512GB of storage, 16GB of RAM, a 10-Core CPU, and a 16-Core GPU for $2,099 ($200 off). Though not as fast as the newer M2 models, the laptop is still plenty powerful and comes with a brilliant Mini LED display. Read our review.
If you prefer a large Apple laptop that’s even more capable than the 14-inch Pro, you can currently buy the M1 Max-equipped 16-inch MacBook Pro at Adorama with 2TB of storage, 32GB of RAM, a 10-core CPU, and a 24-core GPU for $3,099 ($600 off). Read our review.
Miscellaneous deals
Apple’s leather AirTag Loop is down to $27.99 ($11 off) in brown at Adorama. You can also buy it in red for half off, which drops the price to $19.99. Apple’s ultra-wideband Bluetooth trackers lack a lanyard hole, so the accessory makes it possible to clip your AirTags to your backpack, keys, and other items.
The Nintendo Switch OLED is on sale at Adorama for $344.99 ($4 off), which is admittedly a small discount but one that applies to a console that isn’t often discounted. Read our review.
Nintendo’s official Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo Switch case is on sale for $14.99 ($10 off) at Adorama. Note, however, that the protective case only fits the standard Switch console, not the Nintendo Switch Lite.
